Not with all of them it isn't. But the german humour is so different especially with the older generation from my experiences.

Good chance of Proschwitz playing at Winterton tuesday night. Could put a few on the gate if he does.

It is with most I've met. The Germans have a great sense of humour. Some of their Black Comedy is excellent. Might not be to everyone's taste, but for any German speakers out there, I would really recommend any film by Michael "Bully" Herbig. Very good slapstick in a Mel Brooks kind of way.

Proschwitz is a very interesting signing, not sure what to make of it really as he ticks the boxes for a big striker who can score but then there are a lot of question marks over him too. Sehr gut!

Looking at his Youtube vid again he looks like he has a good first touch and good feet for a big bloke. His technical ability also looks good.
The only thing it doesn't show much of is him having to get to grips with very physical defenders at close quarters (like we have in the Championship).
 
Another problem solved if he does sign. We wanted a big name manager, check. We wanted 2 decent keepers - check. We wanted a striker - check.

And we seem to be signing players at the right point in the transfer window, meaning that our German friend can build a partnership with one of our existing strikers in the pre-season matches/training so the strikeforce starts the season vastly more strongly than if they were paired together a few days before hand. sorry if that is stating the bleeding obvious

Germany is a great place, lots of great scenery, lovely people, and they keep the place clean unlike the ****holes we have for towns and cities. People slagging off Germany and Germans quite often have never been there and have formed their opinions of Germans from bad English actors in old war-films and so on. The current generation of Germans have nothing to do with what happened in 1945 and before. Proschwitz is a very interesting signing, not sure what to make of it really as he ticks the boxes for a big striker who can score but then there are a lot of question marks over him too. Sehr gut!

Well said Sir. Germany is a quality place, the second I have enough money Im straight off to live there again! Its like a few have said - England without the chavs. If anyone gets the chance go to Berlin for a night out - they have somehow managed to make a bombed out wreck into the party town of the century (unlike London).
 
I like Germans, my family seem to hate them because of the war but everyone has their own opinion, I tend not to blame others for what their late ancestors have done in the past, people need to move on from their hatred of Germans, Nazis far enough, but not all Germans are Nazis

Germany has a lot going for it and I have enjoyed my visits there. Their government seems to treat the people much more like responsible adults whereas ours assumes we can't deal with life for ourselves.

But would I want to live there over England? No.

According to Bruce, we were never in for Heskey.

According to Bruce's agent we never talked to him about the job as manager. Bruce said at the press conference that they had been talking for two to three weeks, kind of blows the agents statement out of the water. Think as a team are going to keep things closer under wraps.

Keep seeing this argument made and I do agree, I wouldn't take Bruce at face value because they want to keep things under wraps. However, would it not be done by now if it was going to happen? And would we be spending money on a big front man if we wanted Heskey? I have my doubts and think Bruce might just be telling the truth.
 
I think you will find that many of their cities are in a better state than ours despite what Bomber Harris did during WW2 and as for their autobahns, amazing and frightening at the same time saw many Porche's pass us in a blink of an eye. Their trains do run on time and as expected are usually of a very good standard. Can't say I'm keen on Hock or Riesling and their beer is too gassy for me, in a stein or otherwise.
 
sky sports understand we have agreed the deal, personal terms and passed his medical and he is about to sign.

it also says in a 2 year deal. does anyone else find this a little odd (if true), i would have thought at least a 3 year deal. he is only 25.

do you think it is more his own demands, he does not want to be stuck with us for too long if he does not see that we are premiership bound. but then this would suggest to me if he wanted to leave if we don't have a good season, he will only have 1 year left on his contract so could not recoup at much as we seem to be paying. it just seems quite a short contract to me, or maybe i just play football manager too much.....

For 2M you would hope his contract would be 3 or 4 years long considering the amount of money we're paying
 
Hello @ all,
at first i want say sorry for may bad english.

We are happy that he leave us. From first day which he start at Paderborn he tell only that he want go to an other club (to a Bundesliga club). Ok, he scored 17 goals in our best season ever (5th place, 1 point behind play-offs for the Bundesliga).
So i tell you something about the player Proschwitz. He is a good player, a good worker and fighter for the team. He don´t need so much positions to score an goal. He can hold the ball, and wait for the other players. I think, he will score 18+x goals for you.

You have here an nice conversation about germany. Yes, if we speak about England/Great Britain we tell "The Island".

Here in Paderborn we have in big English Armee Baracks, maybe somene of you heard about it.

I wish you good luck with Proschwitz and hope you will get to Premier League again.

If you have some questions about Quick Nick, ask me.

Bye.
