Looks like Proschwitz is about to sign for us!!

According to the local German Newspaper he's flying in Monday or Tuesday for a medical.

"Torjäger Nick Proschwitz hat sich übrigens am Sonntag von den Spielern des SCP Richtung England verabschiedet. "Es ist eine Einigung erzielt worden", sagte dazu Manager Sport Michael Born. Proschwitz fliege am Montag auf die Insel und unterziehe sich dort am Dienstag der sportmedizinischen Untersuchung. Damit ist der Weg für weitere Zugänge frei."

Good stuff

For people who doesn't speak German, this is what Google Translate says. Looks like someone with severe dyslexia has written it, but the message gets through

"There is an agreement has been achieved," commented sports manager Michael Born. Proschwitz fly to the island on Monday and on Tuesday there prefer the sports medical examination. This clears the way for more access is free.

Edit: Pretty much what TS said, but yeah, done is done.

 

This is how I would translate it...

Also, striker Nick Proschwitz has said his goodbyes to the players of SC Paderborn as he heads in the direction of England. "An agreement has been reached" Sport Manager Michael Born said on the subject. Proschwitz flies to the Island on Monday and will undergo a medical there on Tuesday. Because of this, the way is now open for more signings.

Seems fairly clear.

 

It is not clear for which team on the Island he is going to sign for!

 

It's a good job I speak German, so I can actually understand it

 

Do the Germans often refer to this place as 'the island'?

It sounds slightly derogatory.

 

Erm. It is an island we're on. I think that's a really cool way of being referred to.

That's less derogatory than the way a fair few people refer to them. Odd really, the Germans are, genuinely, a lot like us, similar sense of humour and lots of other characteristics the same too. I wish we shared their ability at tournament football though

 

It is an island yes.

I agree with you on the things you say.

I think I'd like to visit Germany, it looks like a fantastic place.

 

the North sea was and is probably still called by some the Germanic sea , so i guess this is THE Island ... lets just emphasise the THE

 

Precisely. I think the reason a lot of people - not me I add - dislike the Germans is because we're EXACTLY the same. We're both very dissimilar to say, the French, but essentially we're both nations of fighters, drinkers and bad dressers.

Back on to the signing and whether he's good or not it's a hell of a coup. To turn down a top flight club in the country he lives in versus a 2nd dvision club across the continent suggests either he thinks we're a great bet for promotion or we're paying him a HELL of a lot....

 

Iceland calls itself ISLAND.

 

Along with Asprilla, he will be signing for Darlington.

 

It's probably just a google mis-translation. I imagine they wrote country.

 

Nope... "Proschwitz fliege am Montag auf die Insel..."

 

I like the Germans too BCC.

I feel they are misunderstood by many Brits.

Having said that, I've never been to Germany. I did go to school with a German girl and from memory, she was very pleasant.

 

Try going on holiday to just about any Turkish Hotel!!!

That being said the Krauts pale into insignificance alongside the absolute kuntishness of the Russians!

 

Sounds positive, I think he could be a very good signing, and just what we lacked last season. Him and Fryatt could turn into a good partnership up front.
