A signing in May!?! Doing some business early?!? This isn't like us :)

Welcome Kevin, I look forward to you and Dier forming a great partnership!

Nice, first signing done and dusted nice and early. This should give him a good bit of time to settle in. I've heard of the guy before but never seen him play so no idea if he is any good.

Bit of a naive way to look at it, but if he is any good then why has he gone so cheaply?

I will reserve judgement until I have seen him play though.

Glad we've got a German in the squad again - we've quite a nice lineage with Klinsmann, Ziege, Freund and Holtby.

The Dutch and Germans don't get on though do they, so we'll maybe need to keep an eye on that if we intend to partner him with Verts.

I am now looking forward to next season.

This one turned out to be a bit of a damp squib in the end. I feel our potential was never truly reached.

However.

Over the course of the season, we've been bedding in new players, determining which ones need to be shifted on, trying out a few different team selections, brought in a new scouting network, identified weaknesses in the squad/starting 11, identified targets early, already completed some business in an area we needed strengthening, have a very young team, have a lot of academy prospects itching to get into the first team who all seem of a good quality, look to be doing our transfer business correctly for once, etc etc.

I feel we are for once on the correct path with the right manager and back room staff to push the club forward.

I for one, am very happy with Poch. He seems like a really good fit for the club.

Let's hope we can tie up a winger, central mid, and a striker for the first team and we'll be looking in very good shape.

Let's also lose the mountains of deadwood that is currently draining the clubs resources.

For once, I am happy to let Soldado go, and let's say see you later to Paulinho, Kaboul, Adebayor, Capoue, Lennon, et al and move forward with a very young and exciting team.

Could be in for a very pleasant summer, ready to kick on at the start of next season with a properly motivated and drilled team.

I don't think it will be too much of a problem, seeing as Wimmer is Austrian, and Verts is Belgian.

never seen him play and never even heard of him before being linked so judgement reserved on him ...... although hope this isn't the typical type of signing this window

Did a bit of whoring over at a Koln forum, courtesy of Google Translate. Very positive stuff, indeed:

Super footballer and class type. A real flagship professional.
Too bad we can not keep people like you. I hope your attitude remains a lot to our team. Bye, mach et jut, Kevin Wimmer.

The farewell is painful. And I also think of parting is still pain for some time. To find a center-back, who has the potential to bring similar performance at a similarly constant level, is extremely difficult.
I wish him all the best in England. Should calm carry on as here. For me it was always a very likeable player. Hope he will remember back also some time at Cologne.

What I had prejudices against him.
failure Shopping, screw etc. were some remarks. Dear Kevin Wimmer, I'm sorry, I have a little abgelästert, and thank goodness you have shown and proved to me that one of its judgments not so should be hasty. did you become the absolute tower in our defense, for me together with Matze positive surprise. It is a pity that you are going, it is not easy to find a worthy successor, but understand your step you develop athletic to want to aim higher, with the FC is not yet possible to that. I wish you every success at Spurs. We fans will all keep you in good memory, as you the FC, the city of Cologne, and above all the Fans will hopefully not forgotten, and maybe you'll one day return to FC when playing internationally again. Take care!

Since he came into the team in Cottbus, he was here to stay.
One of the best defenders I've seen in FC jersey.
A type that you simply may need.

Now that it is fixed and officially, again hurts a bit. Model type that will leave a big gap. Judging also the interview on FC TV after, he seems to be a funny bird. On Facebook he posted a picture of times with a T-shirt "Dine, Wine, Sixetynine". Will miss him!

Nice bit of business to start the seasonal transfer circus, I hadn't heard of him before either but by all accounts he's been pretty faultless this season and for a twentytwo year old central defender that's got to be cause for optimism. Well done, I'm wearing my happy face.:)

Edit: just read the above post, be fun if we all had his number on our shirts with the "Dine, Wine Sixtynine" on it.
