void ab initio
Ducks Delux
Then again Huntelaar
cool I ******** love the restrictions the bundesliga has where there are measures in place to prevent business men from exploiting clubs financially. Uefa has taken far to long to make an effort to replicate a simular method of protection of european clubs. Now we see great clubs, some of the greatest clubs in the world like Glasgow Rangers becoming insolvent and eventually liquidated if there unable to brake the books. It's sad because football no longer becomes a sport it becomes a business that levrages a lot of margin and results in assets being invaluable when depts are no longer able to be paid, that's when clubs have to go into liquidation. It happens far to often. Supose it would be a good idea with the wc approaching.
To answer this, Huntelaar is getting old and he's having so many injuries so I applaud Schalke's desire to get a second chair for him in the name of Sidney Sam. Sam is young, with so much potential, and an absolute steal for 2.5m euro from Leverkusen.
And yeah, agree with what you said about the 50+1 rule. Football should be run by people who knows what it is like to play the game. Clubs should be managed by people who actually loves football - not by businessmen who wants to further their business.
The hunter is approaching the stage in his carrier when he is no longer considered a young and enthastic player, but slowly down isn't a consideration for any football player. Especially some one like the hunter who still has a lot of offer any club. Injuries are unavoidable and occur regulary for many world class players which result in them having to take time to recover and regain form and confidence they played with before they got injured. Hunter is a good player, he's the best player that Shalke have, he's an asset to any team because he is capable of scoring on a consistent basis. Sam is good player but will never be as good as the hunter. If anything his arrival to Shalke is to replace inmprove SHL front line because hunter is going to be bought buy a more prestigious club. Look at Gomez, this guy went to Florence to get injured
lol But thats what happens to good strikers, defenders target them by being hostile to prevent them from scoring and often leads to injuries. He's done good for Shalke, and scored regularly, I'm sure he will return from injury to continue doing what he does best
cool
The German FA, collectively come together, and interfere with football if they consider something is preventing German football from growing. That's what they done when German football was in decline 60 years ago and the national team was underachiecving, they came together to reach a solution to a problem that needed aderssing to prevent football from failing by forming a professional leauge. Other leagues in other countries began to draw Germany's best players away from the domestic league and it was decreasing the quality of the game. The same thing applied when the 50/1 rule was introduced, it's a good thing that they were insightful enough to see the bad effects modern football would have on domestic football because it has prevtented a lot of s**t that other teams in europe have gone through were they faced extinction and fans have to pay all there wages to attend a single match
lol
