I do not know Vorsah either. I checked him up at transfermarkt.de.
They say he will be out until june 2008 with a torn cruciate ligament and his market value is 350.000 €. Maybe someone for the reserves ? can't see him as a first team player... but well he played all games for hoffenheim in the 2nd league this season.

And hoffenheim for all who don't know it is germany's chelsea. It's owned by a co founder of the computer company SAP who has a few billions on his private bank account and they spent 15 Millions in transfers this season after getting relegated to the 2nd league... And he bought them a new stadium for several hundreds of millions. clearly a name you have to keep and eye one in the future

Hoffenheim are the club that signed that really good brazillian AM right ? What's his name... Erm... Eduardo something ?

yes they signed carlos eduardo for 7 millions from porto alegre. 20 year old brazilian u21 national. Also Edu a nigerian u21 international for 5 millions and demba ba for another 3 millions (22 year old mali international ). they have rangnick as a coach if someone remembers him he got fired at schalke as the coach with the best winning ratio ever cause he didn't get along with the manager...

currently in 8th place 8 points behind the 3rd cologne with 5 wins 7 draws and 5 losses. their plan is bundesliga next season

the planned arena with space for 30k
Stadion

[Vargas_4]

By the way things are looking, i doubt they'll make it to the Bundesliga.

[Eric]

yes my mistake. they want to play for the top 3 to advance to the bundesliga NEXT season. So Bundesliga in 2 to max 3 years. This season i think they said they wanted to "play a good role" and their aim is the top half of the table having nothing to do with relegation

Reports in Germany claim Bayern Munich are targeting Marco Van Basten to be their next boss.

With Ottmar Hitzfeld set to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, the hunt is on for a new manager.

Hitzfeld Had Enough

Bayern currently sit top of the Bundesliga but relations with current trainer Hitzfeld have become strained.

The 58-year-old, who was won the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund and in a previous spell at Bayern, said last week that he had already made his decision as to whether to remain with the Bavarian giants.

With contract negotiations previously scheduled to commence early next year, it is widely thought that this was a veiled way of the Chief announcing his departure.

Van Basten The New Man?

Reports on Monday in Germany suggest that Dutchman Marco Van Basten is top of the Bavarians' wishlist. Ulli Hoeneß, Bayern's sporting director, has his eye on Marco Van Basten to take the managerial hotseat next summer.

The Netherlands coach has already said he will step down from his current job after Euro 2008, and although he hasn't had any success as a manager at club level the Münchner are impressed with his managerial skills and strong command of German.

Mark Van Bommel, Bayern's influential Dutch midfielder, does not see eye-to-eye with Van Basten, however, and retired from international football accordingly.

[Vargas_4]

I don't think this will happen. It's mere speculation.

[Trim]

Crap, crap, and just crap.

Van Basten can't come, because we have Mark van Bommel at the club.

This one definately rules him out.

[Eric]

MVB is 33, 34 next year and the media speculates a lot on us buying a DM ( de Rossi story ). Agreed I would hate to see van Basten here. There's a lot better coaches out there for us, BUT MVB will not be the reason he is out of the race.

All speculation we will see the next weeks

Van Bommel will be 31 at the start of next season mate.

It seems Milan are interested in Lucio for the next season
channel4.com - Football Italia

Roma and Juve also on the run

[Vargas_4]

Screw them bastards. We can't hand over Lucio just yet. Maybe at the end of season 2009 but not right now.

[Trim]

I give a fuck about those recent stories over Lucio.

Lucio is not leaving anywhere soon.

But, I'm preparing myself psychologicaly. I'm almost sure he'll leave in 2009, so we can get a few millions from his transfer and rather not see him leave for free on 2010.

He's a legend, it will be a sad day when he leaves.

[Eric]

always the same thing with lucio

come winter in germany he wants to leave. every year the same old story. someone should buy him some warm pants over xmas.

agreed trim. 2009 or 2010 latest he will be off and play in front of empty stadiums in italy.... oh my let's hope breno really is the 2nd lucio....

[Poldi]

Yeah, we defenetly cant stop him to live... he hate wetter in Munich, thats the main reason, I am going crazy when heard that!

He is not pleased with the level of football in Germany and he is loved in Italy and Spain... so we cant get him in Bayern through whole his carrier... it will be sad day when he leave, he is the icon of Bayern... but he have less 2 seasons here, so let him to do well that two years and stay in the our greatests memories!
