Fuck me it's a stretch to call him a World Cup winner considering he actually played no games at all in the World Cup. The medal is in his trophy cabinet... I'd feel a fraud. That's like the cleaner of a technology company getting in a major invention just by the virtue of being there, tenous at best.

He’s not a centre half is he, more of an addition that means Tommy Smith will only play in Cup games this season? No he isn't but we now have kongolo don't we? My question is whether we will have kongolo, schindler, and Zanka at the back as a 3 or will wagner drop one and have durm at left back He’s a right back?

Nice one but the lack of goals still concerns me, a striker and another winger now. He can play up front as well ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

You mean we’ve finally got our fifth signing for the first team after Kongolo, Hamer, Bacuna and Sobhi? We have been waiting a while since the last one thats all I meant. Gosh can't say anything on here without someone picking at it. I was guilty of this - we're just used to frequent genuinely snidey remarks and moaning, so some of us fall into the trap of assuming the worst.

Never heard of him, never seen him play, but at least I'm honest ;- Anyone got any highlights or is that a stretcher too far !

Doesn't seem so long ago we might have been signing, say, an LDV Vans Trophy winning Northern Ireland international from Tranmere. Now we're signing a World Cup winning German international from Borussia Dortmund. What a time to be alive. Fuck me it's a stretch to call him a World Cup winner considering he actually played no games at all in the World Cup. Bloody hell man, some people can just enjoy a signing without immediately picking holes in what other areas we need to strengthen and the fact he was an unused sub. So what, he has a World Cup winners medal even though he was an unused sub. The lad made the squad for a World Cup winning team, that deserves a medal in my book and he is part of the team that won it. Don’t mean to rant on at you but we’ve just signed a lad from Dortmund, for me that is a big deal, maybe not for some.

Some Town fans are so far up there own arses sometimes it's untrue with some of the shite they come out with its bloody cringing.

Some Town fans can’t see the wood for the trees. Don’t be so preoccupied with the small details and just see the bigger picture. The Town fans up their own arses are those that can’t appreciate a signing such as this and Kongolo and Sobhi and Bacuna. I do agree a lot of shite is spoken but, come on, we are not THAT club are we that just shirks off such a signing.

Not many full German internationals would move to a different country on a short one-year deal. Who else were in for him?

I could go back and change my post to "unused substitute in a World Cup winning squad" if you want? Wouldn't be as punchy, mind - but I wouldn't want to appear to be up my own arse. I was just enjoying the moment. You should try it some time, fella. You might even like it!

Now we're signing a World Cup winning German international from Borussia Dortmund. What a time to be alive. Or Robbie Williams from Barnsley with a broken leg !!!!! Still maintain we signed the wrong Robbie Williams - though the pre-match singalong would've been intolerable!

Seems to play on the right more so than left but from the video looks to have two good feet. He hasn't played for Dortmund or the German national side been shit. He has been unlucky with injuries and needs to rebuild his career he knows Dave who got the best from him with klopp could just be the best bit of business we do this summer if he stays fit.

He is our type of signing.
-very athletic, should be able to gegenpress -has something to prove following injury problems -we wouldn’t have a chance of signing a player of his quality if he hadn’t had injury problems. Bit of a gamble but that’s the only way we can sign top players -German. Already knows a few people in the club (Wagner, Heff and maybe others)
He could turn out to be one of the best left back/left wing backs in the league. He could also play 5 games and be injured for the rest of the season. Who knows.

Exactly before they signed Kachunga relegated Schindler a consistent member of a consistently leaky defence Lossl a poor season Flo refused to train Depoitre poor season Etc If he'd been in the World Cup squad, played 20 last season would he be here? No course not!

Left back. Can play right back, wing back etc Looking at his performance data on transfermarkt it looks like he played up front early in his career, and played a single season at LB before moving to primarily RB or RWB position. Versatile! But suspect he’ll be more likely to see action on the right given we’ll play Kongolo at left when it’s a 4... Ps...don’t advise looking up his historic data, he looks a total liability of a signing when you see all the injuries written down for every game in big red highlighting pretty full across every one of the previous 4 or 5 years! Makes James Vaughan look like a valuable squad asset. Hope it turns out positive but suspect we might not see him too much early season. Adductor, torn abductor, torn ankle ligaments, hip injury, training deficit (unfit), back trouble, knee trouble, knee op, muscular problems, influenza, thigh strain, infection.... Hope we’ve expanded the medical team !!!
