Tom 13819 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Aye. It's a great league to watch mind. Much better than what the Premier League has become when you take into account the fan representation, ticket prices and atmospheres. It's a great league but it has been for years. A lot of people seem to have discovered (or rediscovered) it on Tuesday night. Probably the same people who called people hipsters for watching it a few year back. I wouldn't say there's a ''lot of shite'' anymore than there is in the premier league though. There's a lot of decent teams over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of decent teams over there. Beyond the two powerhouses, it always feels to me like there's a lot of Wigans and Southamptons in the Bundesliga, decently set-up clubs trying to play positive football with a ragtag mixture of locals and second-level foreign players. Keeps things open and fairly interesting for the neutral, if nothing else. It probably helps that the standard of coaching/management is generally higher than it is here.

Tom 13819 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yep. Because it's actually something they've looked at. SHOCKING STAT. He added: "As things stand Spain have 25,000 Uefa A, B and Pro Licence coaches, Italy 30,000 and Germany 35,000 while England have less than 6,000. I've think they've accounted for pretty much every aspect of what it takes to make a football league, it's an all round package & the fans are looked after.

StellarStripes 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'd be very happy if we signed Weimann from Villa. So long as he wasnt our main striker through the doors in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3183 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'd be very happy if we signed Weiayemann from Villa. So long as he wasnt our main striker through the doors in the summer. FYP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that there is so few coaches in England up to that standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Cos it's a fucking ball ache. Took me nearly a year just to do my level 2 badge. You have UEFA B, A and the Pro Licence on top of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Perhaps other countries provide more courses at cheaper prices and more convenient times? Most normal folk can't afford to take 2 weeks off work to do their level 2 never mind the many weeks needed for the later qualifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Not sure what the cost of it is abroad but the higher you get due to the costs it seems more weighted to ex-professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Should sign McCarthy and loan him back to Reading for a season. Would be excellent competition for Krul and could go on to be a very good keeper at this level. Not sure about Weimann - his shooting seems very erratic and he's got a really stupid quiff. I quite like his pace though and he seems to want to get the ball and get it forward without squandering possession. As said above, an upgrade on Gouffran (not that Gouffran is a bad player or anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8954 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Bar Dortmund and Munich there's a lot of shite in the Bundesliga btw. Don't buy into the lazy journalism that German football is turning into some sort of super league. Those 2 are hardly unknown quantities either Edit. I know you didn't say otherwise btw Aye, I think I exaggerated a little, but my point was more that we could find good quality players there. For example, if we'd tried to sign Cisse from Wigan, he's have cost us £18m and be on much bigger wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 He seems to play as a wide forward for villa rather than an out-and-out striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Abeid back to France in the summer. Not good enough apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13819 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Looked good enough to me. prefer him to Gosling anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Tiote, Cabaye, Anita, Sissoko and Perch are better than Gosling too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13819 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Obviously but there's nothing wrong with having a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
