Who?

I was waiting for the completely random out of nowhere signing that we've never heard of. Hope he's another unearthed gem.

[23rdSaint]

So the brother of the good one?

You knew of Jander and Scienza presumably before we signed them?

[goodymatt]

“There had been occasional transfer rumours surrounding the centre back. In Cottbus, he was in the starting lineup and served as captain. Nevertheless, he is apparently drawn to FC Southampton.”

[hypochondriac]

Asked chatgpt and looks quite good. Physical, good aerial strength, has scored and assisted a few goals.

Yes. They were both captains of their teams when Augsburg played Borussia Dortmund earlier in the year.

[RedArmy]

I’d rather sign his brother but fingers crossed he is a Jack Stephens replacement

[Harry_SFC]

Looks decent enough on paper.

Now for another CB to play next to him (providing THB is off)

[hypochondriac]

Very pleased the club are going to give us alternatives to Stephens.

Scouting report thread here

[SouthWalesSaints]

32.6 kmh fastest speed last season which is quick as well. 

[goodymatt]

 

NB: this strike was with his weaker right foot.

Scouting report suggest he’s a little slow for counter attacks and that having some speed in CM is needed.

If we can keep Jander and THB then that defensive spine is looking good. Not sure if we will though.

Here we go! Spors into action, looks like an exciting prospect, especially for this level.

Agreed, no sell on value but a low fee.  We lack physicality and some men. 

[Fabrice29]

Just in case anyone was struggling with the concept of a first name.

[LeG]

Ticks all the boxes! 
 

Especially this one….

 

Super, super Kev

Super Kevin Schlotterbeck.

This guy looks like he wins his duels, is good in the air, is captain material and is very experienced having over 150 top flight games in the Bundesliga. It’s also a plus having a left footed CB playing on the left, although judging by his strike above his weak foot seems useful too.

Price including add ons is less than £4m and Spors does seem to unearth gems from this market. What’s not to like?

In Spors we trust, onto the next one!

Yep. Also doesn't have to be world class in order to provide a better contribution than Quarshie. Hopefully an upgrade on Stephens and Wood too.

Isn’t Keven Schlotterbeck a Benny Hill character😂

I've never heard of him, but like the sound of him. Last night showed that we need some pace, power and experience out there. 

[Suhari]

Is he better than Stephens?

Aggression too. This fella looks like he knows how to put himself about. Hopefully he can channel it well.

That's not a whole lot of a challenge 

[Saint Matty 76]

Feels like the exact kind of player we needed. I hope for a really similar profile in midfield as well.

Yep. We need some leadership out there too, and hopefully he can provide that.

Very low bar.

[Saint NL]

There's a ready made chant in there as well.

To the tune of Justin Timberlakes "Sexy Back" 🤣

Everybody is better than Stephens

[goodymatt]

The question I’m thinking of is who’s the better player: Keven Schlotterbeck or Anel Ahmedhodzic?

What I do know is they are both a bit of a challenge for auto correct 😂

[Pamplemousse]

Get him in and start him on Saturday. Millwall are a big side, we can't play Wood and Stephens

Yep, straight into the team please.

[Danbert]

Makes a lot of sense sending Quarshie out on loan, if that is what this means

I'm inclined to agree, but Eckert doesn't strike me as the kind of manager than chucks a new player straight into the starting line-up... 

(Cue MLG listing 7 times that Eckert has done just that... )
