I follow the Bundesliga pretty closely as I’ve been lucky enough to live in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. Frankfurt have had a policy for the last few years of buying players who almost made it elsewhere and polishing them into the finished article. Sometimes it works (Jovic, Haller, Rode), other times not so much (De Guzman). It’s a fairly consistent production line of recycled talent.

If he goes to the Spammers I have a feeling he could be a hit. I dearly hope he goes to La Liga or to a club like Brighton instead.

I would be concerned if the Spam have been watching Fortuna Düsseldorf as there was a Watford player on loan; Lukebakio who looks ideal for the Premier League and scored a hat trick against Bayern...

They're 100% planning to do #HallersaHammer or something along those lines. Hope they get hijacked so bad. The fact he turned them down before but has been "convinced" to join them is pretty funny.

Very promising signing for them. Not sure how prolific he's going to be in front of goal but they've been building a nice technical footballing side at the request of Pellegrini and he fits right in with that. Reminds me of Kanoute

Groundhog Day for me with this lot at around this time every year.

Got a few good mates who are West Ham. Without fail the final few weeks of July, I get ‘top 6 is on/top 4 is realistic/going to finish above Tottenham’ etc etc

Last year was the best one when we didn’t spend a penny, they spent loads, and we were out of sight of them by about October.

Even if we add nobody else, we’ll be twenty points above them at least come May

I agree, one signing doesn’t change the spine of the side... Haller did look decent in the Bundesliga but his scoring record has gone down as he has moved through weaker leagues to more challenging ones.

Defending can be pretty shocking in the Bundesliga at times, and even big clubs get turned over.

Unless Wet Spam address the other weak spots in their team, Haller might get such bad service that he gets 10-12 goals tops.
