Ich stand in der Schlange und hatte nur noch 5 Minuten bis ich dran sein sollte. Plötzlich sprang die Zeit auf 11 Minuten und zum Schluss sogar auf 21 Minuten Dauer. Sowas hab ich noch nie erlebt. Ging das noch jemandem so?

HSV just announced the new jersey.
It looks familiar to me

Sky report that a deal has now been agreed for the 18 year old forward, who will join from Man City’s academy.

They report it’s a permanent deal for €2m with contract until 2030.

Seems the club beat of competition from several other clubs, I think this is a very exciting signing.

The reason’s for Schenten’s decision don’t seem to be completely clear, but this is likely to be a huge frustration for Kessler and the management team, as the clear plan for Schenten’s next steps were a loan away from the club to get game time.

I am a new FC Köln fan. I am from Scotland and support Motherwell there. I have never really had a German team, I have a premier league team, Man City. I have followed the Bundesliga quite a lot and decided recently to pick Köln fc as my team. I’ve also noticed you guys sing Loch Lommand as your club anthem which is Scottish and pretty cool so I think that’s one of the main reasons why I chose Köln. On top of this I like the city of Koln too, even though I have never been. Another thing about Köln is a rich history but nowadays it hasn’t been so great which kinda reminds me of Motherwell a bit.
Yous also have a great mascot, and I love the fan culture as well, which made me interested in this club a lot more. If there is anything I should know as a new FC Koln fan, any information would be nice.

Express reporting that the club would like to sign a box to box midfielder as well as an experienced no6 for the midfield and that Rosengren has emerged as a target.

They also mention in the article that Skiri now looks likely to be signed as the 6 as Edson Alvarez’s wages are too high, though Sky did report this morning that Alvarez remains the top target and Skiri is the back up option so make of that what you will!

According to Sky Italia, the club had an offer turned down which was believed to be a loan with a buy obligation for around €7-€8m.

Looks like a difficult deal to do as Inter seem to be insisting on buy back options for next summer and the following summer.

Brentford and Wolfsburg are also believed to be interested.

The first performance tests were already conducted yesterday: Pre-season has officially begun.

24th of July the training camp in Kitzbühel (?) will begin. On the 23rd we will see the first friendly against Bergisch Gladbach 09. The only other one already scheduled is the final test at home against Real Sociedad on the 8th of August. Rumor has it that the away shirt is set to be unveiled this week as well. Speaking of rumors, the transfer rumors are also heating up with many interesting names.

Der 1. FC Köln hat den ghanaischen Nationalspieler Gideon Mensah verpflichtet.  

Der 27-jährige Linksverteidiger hat beim FC einen Vertrag bis zum 30. Juni 2028 unterschrieben. Mensah wechselt ablösefrei vom französischen Erstligisten AJ Auxerre nach Köln.

According to multiple sources a lone deal for Edson Alvarez has been agreed with West Ham and it is now up to the player.

The sticking point (as it was always likely to be) is Alvarez’s wages. He would need to take a big wage cut to come to us and likely has better options financially available in Turkey.

Despite this there does still seem to be some confidence within the club that he will come to us as apparently he would like to play in the Bundesliga and has a very good relationship with Tim Steidten who brought him to West Ham.

Should Alvarez decide not to come, Bild report that Skiri is the main alternative and that there has already been some contact between the club and the player’s representatives.

This is also being reported by Sky, a deal has been agreed for around €1m. He currently plays for Sydney FC in the A League.

Looks like a lot is happening, Sky also reporting Gideon Mensah now done and that there is now an agreement in principle for Edson Alvarez to join.

I have to say I had forgotten he was still a Köln player, but he has now moved permanently to AGF Aarhus after spending last season on loan there and winning the Danish Super League.

After a promising start with us he turned out to be a very disappointing signing. All the same good luck to him with the rest of his career.
