New rumour about Stuttgart being in for Hleb, as he has not yet completed his move to Inter...any idea about this?

The Hleb rumours have been around forever (and by that I mean every time he's looked unhappy at a club), so I don't think there is much to it. He has always said he'd love to end his career with us, but earlier this summer, he also said that playing for us again wasn't an option now.kas wrote:New rumour about Stuttgart being in for Hleb, as he has not yet completed his move to Inter...any idea about this?

According to reports in Spanish papers he's even having his medical at Stuttgart today!

Yep, now the German media is reporting it also. Supposedly, Stuttgart will sign Hleb on a loan and the Pogrebnyak deal is done also.

That would be great news for Stuttgart if true. Two very good signings.

Well, Hleb's career 'took off' in Stuttgart, that's where he probably had his best seasons even. They will welcome him with open arms I think, he always stayed in contact with the club, and German press even.
Stuttgart will definitely be a force to reckon with if they manage to sign both Hleb and Pogrebnyak.

Watch us start moaning about him being a waster of chances and balls by Christmas should it happen. Also, these days, I don't believe anything unless there is an official press conference and photo/video of the player actually signing his contract with us.blutgraetsche wrote:Well, Hleb's career 'took off' in Stuttgart, that's where he probably had his best seasons even.

Alex is lovely as a person and I'd happily welcome him back in a few years time, however, at the moment, the whole thing leaves a sour aftertaste, especially considering his comments just a few weeks ago that "Stuttgart ist kein Thema im Moment". Kind of like we're his last resort now that everything else has failed, he'll come crawling back to us. Pffffffffffft.

Jetzt ist die falsche Zeit für übertriebenen Stolz. Ihr müsst euch für die CL qualifizieren und Hleb kann dabei mit seiner Qualität und Erfahrung sehr hilfreich sein. Und wenn ihr euch qualifiziert habt erst recht!

Ich glaube davor musst Du keine Angst haben. Hleb wollte angeblich nicht zu Inter wechseln, weil er dort keine Stammplatzgarantie bekam. Es geht ihm also darum zu spielen. Und er muss ohnehin seiner Karriere wieder einen Schub geben und auf sich aufmerksam machen, schließlich ist er nicht mehr der Jüngste.
Stuttgart ist deshalb sicherlich "Mittel zum Zweck", aber das sind ohnehin die allermeisten Clubs für die allermeisten Spieler in diesen Tagen. Wenn Stuttgart davon profitiert, was sehr wahrscheinlich ist, haben beide Parteien etwas davon. So muss es sein, das ist eh das Maximum, was man heutzutage erwarten kann. Alles darüber hinaus ist Bonus, oder anachronistische Fußballromantik.

Immerhin, wenn wir Hleb holen würden, müsste entweder Simak oder Bastürk gehen - gesetzt den Fall, Alex ist als N°10 eingeplant und nicht auf der Außenbahn. Ich erinnere mich noch gut an die Diskussionen von früher: "Nein, er ist keine klassische 10" "Nein, er ist kein Flügelspieler".
Aber ich möchte da einfach nicht zu viel spekulieren, das Theater und die vielen "ach wenn er dann endlich da ists", die dann am Ende doch wieder "tja..."s wurden der letzten Wochen reichen mir langsam. Ich möchte einfach endlich mal neue Leute sehen und die elendige Diskussion um unseren Sturm beendet wissen.

Wenn der letztendlich doch zu Bayern oder Schalke geht fresse ich nen Besen!"Der Stand jetzt ist, dass er in die Bundesliga wechseln wird", sagte Hlebs PR-Berater Oliver Mintzlaff, der von "mehreren Interessenten" sprach.

Welcome back, then, Aleks.Bundesliga, 30.07.2009
Hleb kehrt zum VfB zurück
Aliaksandr Hleb wechselt auf Leihbasis mit sofortiger Wirkung vom FC Barcelona zum VfB Stuttgart. Am heutigen Donnerstagmorgen wurden die Verträge mit dem FC Barcelona und Alex Hleb perfekt gemacht.
Bereits von Juli 2000 bis zum Sommer 2005 spielte der weißrussische Nationalspieler im Trikot mit dem roten Brustring und absolvierte für den VfB 137 Bundesliga-Spiele. Der 28-Jährige ist Kapitän der weißrussischen Nationalmannschaft und wurde sechsmal zu Weißrusslands Fußballer des Jahres gewählt. Beim VfB Stuttgart trägt Hleb künftig das Trikot mit der Rückennummer 23.
Horst Heldt, Vorstand Sport: "Mit Aliaksandr Hleb haben wir einen Weltklassespieler verpflichtet, der die Qualität unserer Mannschaft noch weiter erhöht."
Aliaksandr Hleb: "Ich habe mich für den VfB entschieden, da die Mannschaft über großes Potenzial verfügt und ich davon überzeugt bin, dass wir gemeinsam viel erreichen können."

10.21 According to Wolfsburger Nachrichten, Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins will undergo a medical with Wolfsburg today ahead of signing a four-year contract.
I think him and Dzeko can be a very good partnership.

Grafite was topscorer of the league last season and won't go anywhere. He is a definite starter, as is Dzeko. They are the best striker partnership of the league.
But they do miss games once in a while, and Wolfsburg will have a lot of matches to play next season, that's when Martins will get his chance.

Seems like Stuttgart have finished the Pogrebnyak deal also.

I think £9 million for Martins represents good value for Wolfsburg, and a fair deal for us given the situation we are in. I think Martins should be able to excel in the Bundesliga. He lacks composure on the pitch, and he hasn't been aided in this respect by the way we have sometimes played him out of position, and by the lack of service we've offered him throughout his spell with us, but he possesses all the attributes that make for a quality striker; he has tremendous pace, he is a very capable finisher with both feet though he tends to lash at the ball too often, I think his build-up play can be pretty good and duly patient and thoughtful, and he's incredibly strong and dangerous in the air given his height. He could work a bit on his touch, but generally I think he just needs a settled atmosphere, games, and a manager who will show some faith in him. I think he's a quite cheery guy off the pitch - he settled well in Newcastle, and I hope he is given games and settles in Germany.
I am concerned with Veh's suggestion that Martins will potentially offer Wolfsburg something from a wide position - he can't play as a winger or as a wing-forward - he is very much a central striker, better at leading the line and stretching the opposition's defence than he is even playing deeper off a partner.

Gives Wolfsburg additional tactical advantage that they can now easily adapt to a 433 if they want, three excellent strikers.

Bash for me can play as a wingforward not winger definitely but as forward yes.

Veh is a 4-4-2 fan, and I really can't see him play Martins on the wing in a 4-4-2, that would be way too risky. I do think that they primarily signed him as a striker / forward.
Wolfsburg already had a strong team and they did not lose any key players, but actually improved their squad. They'll definitely have a say in the title race, although it remains to be seen how Veh will do, and how they will deal with the additional burden of the CL. Last season, they started their run of form that won them the championship after they were knocked out of Europe.

i think thats the first time in the bundesliga in many years that no team that plays in europe is weaker then the season before
stuttgart, wolfsburg, bayern, hsv, bremen (ok diego is gone, özil marin could step up), in my eyes those teams have now better squads
only hertha is a disgrace as always

If we don't sign Pizarro (and ideally another DM), I'd say that we (=Werder) are weaker than last season. I agree with the rest of the teams. Hopefully, this means that we will have another good season in Europe.

Fiorentina are interested in Hoffenheim's Andreas Beck, as their sporting director confirms.
http://www.spox.com/de/sport/fussball/bundesliga/0907/Artikel/andreas-beck-interesse-ac-florenz-transfer-1899-hoffenheim.html
Don't think that he'll leave Hoffenheim this soon though, especially not in the last season before the WC. Beck has a good chance to become a starter on the RB position in the national team.
