Guten tag and how’ya.

‘Andre Villas-Boas will fight Italian giants Inter Milan for the signature of Patrick Herrmann, the £7.5million-rated Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder’ cries the Daily Mail. Could it be true?

Well, he’s been dubbed as the new Marco Reus. This is due to both his talent as a creative and the fact that when Reus moved to from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Borussia Dortmund Herrmann stepped in to his place.

What’s he like? Well here’s a video. Be warned, it’s a mixed bag and if you don’t like your ’80’s pop bathed in a Robert Smith impression this may be one for you to mute.

I’ve fond memories of going to watch Mönchengladbach reserves playing on Sunday mornings in the early 80’s. I watched the first half sat on my bike through a chain fence. Two alte geezers minded the entrance. They sat in deckchairs and on funny little wooden table they had a old metal biscuit tin that held the gate money. At half time they would wave me in to watch the second half for free.

At £7.5M I think I’d need to see a little more.

    I used to go to the Bockelburg in the 80s. Paid to get in mind, not like you dependents, HH!

    Saw Klinnsman playing for Stuttgart. And that clever B. Munchen lot. Happy days.

    Er, that would be ‘through’ a chain fence. ‘Threw’ means something totally different! You worry me at times dude!

    Don’t know of this chap but I’d like to see us sign finished articles rather than promising youth. We have our own youth academy and excellent trainning facilities with coaches to match. Need a quality forward and somebody to cover the flanks.
