Very tall, probably a sensible league for us to be looking at, and was scoring at a pretty good rate last season. I'm cautiously optimistic about this.
I've heard Janni Serra touted as a talent in that league, who is another tall striker, but this guy actually has a better scoring record

Being tall does not necessarily mean he is good in the air. I recall the last player we got from Germany. About 6ft 7 ins and the bloke was too scared to head the ball and only lasted at the club for a couple of months.

Once the first goal came for the hosts, the rest swiftly followed, with impressive substitute Robert Glatzel bagging a hat-trick. Woodgate expects the striker to go for big money this summer.
"They've got a good centre-forward in Glatzel, who's going to cost a few quid in the transfer window whoever signs him," said the boss.

I don't necessarily agree with that. I don't necessarily think that the bottom 3 teams in the Bundesliga were any worse than the bottom 3 in the premier league last season.
I know that the standard or at least style of football from the 2nd division in Germany matches the championship. If you watch teams like Holstein Kiel last season the football they played was unbelievable.
I know this wasn't your argument but some of the best up and coming manager certainly come from that league.

I’ve watched Hertha Berlin four times in recent seasons. On each occasion the teams they’ve played have been fellow mid-table Bundesliga sides. It’s been a great experience, but the standard of the football has been weak.
None of the sides I’ve watched would have avoided relegation from the Premier League and none would have been leading lights in the Championship either. That’s my opinion. If you believe otherwise then fair enough, but the evidence I’ve seen suggests the German leagues are relatively weak with the exception of the major sides. There’s no strength in depth, hence the fact that a player like Mark Grujic can operate comfortably in the German top flight.

Let’s hope he’s a stand out player in his league amongst the lesser lights, does make you think though why a Bundesliga club hasn’t taken a punt on him if he is. Are City’s terms that much more attractive? Or maybe his agent sees us as a stepping stone to the Premier League & it’s riches. Very interesting signing in my opinion and am looking forward to seeing him.

He’s had three seasons in Bundesliga 2. His league stats are 4 goals in 19 appearances in 16/17, 4 goals in 29 appearances in 17/18 and 13 goals in 26 appearances in 18/19.

Sure. They’re not good. Better than anything I’ve seen in Germany, though. The game over there doesn’t appear to be nearly as physical as it is over here and although it can be fun to watch and there are plenty of good players dotted around the clubs it’s not a great standard overall.

Some of Swansea's defending last season was laughable at set pieces. I watched a bit of Paderborn and Holstein Kiel last season and they were very attractive to watch and Holstein in particular played some revolutionary stuff.
I'm no expert on that league however and the league I watch most other than our own is La Liga.
The German second tier is the most watched second tier in the world, and as others have said when you watch games over here more objectively and look at some of the quality of lower premier league teams, you realise how shite they area and how poor championship defending is responsible for most goals at this level

Definitely not, the standard of our second tier has improved dramatically with the influx of overseas players in the Premier League. 25/30 years ago the vast majority of second tier players now would have been top flight. Not sure but I doubt the Bundesliga has as many non nationals. If it is £5.5 million as reported, by today’s prices, it’s run of the mill for a striker.

I'm not a german football expert but I watched Koln last season and I was impressed, while Frankfurt took Chelsea to pens over two legs and played Inter off the park. It's probably the third best league in the world, admittedly its behind PL and Spain but I think the overall quality in Bundesliga 2 won't be miles off the Championship. He's scored against some of the better sides in there too.

Wikipedia states almost 11 million for last years Championship but under 6 million for Bundesliga, 2. Can't link as I'm rushing around and on my phone.
That is quite clever
Is your phone like a broom.....?

That would be brushing and not rushing :-)
I don't necessarily agree with that. I don't necessarily think that the bottom 3 teams in the Bundesliga were any worse than the bottom 3 in the premier league last season.
I know that the standard or at least style of football from the 2nd division in Germany matches the championship. If you watch teams like Holstein Kiel last season the football they played was unbelievable.
I know this wasn't your argument but some of the best up and coming manager certainly come from that league.
I can’t see any objective way of judging whether it’s a good standard or not.
Not like there are international interleague competitions at this level.
Mr.Warnock doesn't exactly have a great record with strikers.. fingers crossed on this one.🤞

Thanks SP , wasn`t sure if a domestic suspension in one country was still in place in another.

Strange one this though, I didn’t realise that suspension rules differ. Apparently in the Bundesliga if you are red carded it only applies to that competition, so if you’re sent off in a league game you could feature in a Cup game during your three game suspension. So, if so I stand erected, I would think that we compete in a different competition. Dont hang me out to dry though😂😂

I wasn't referring to when he signs but Warnock's record in signing quality strikers .

I was simply asking the question dicey, we all know Warnock and strikers are not straightforward , The Warnock way et al.

What does that mean? Does that mean strikers who do well at other clubs or strikers that are effective for Warnock? I think whether he signs quality strikers is perhaps different to whether he signs effective strikers.
If this player makes the impact we're hoping for, coming in as presumably our imagined starting striker, then it's a very good price and a great find.

Also Zohore was nowhere until Warnock came and 8m for him I'm sure will prove the best bit of business since Joe Masson.

Your correct in pulling me up on this.. I used the word quality which is generally defined as fitness for purpose.
However a striker is generally judged by how many goals he bangs into the back of the net.

Quick, two footed, tall, can head a goal and can take a decent penalty - liking this :thumbup::hide:
Is he a striker?
17 in 55 in the German 2nd division.
So, no.
So, no.
Seemed to have a poor 17/18 season.
Scored 17 with 6 assists in 29 league and cup appearances last season.

Paul Abbandonato is saying on Twitter that they’ve been told it’s a done deal.
So, no.
A goal every three games is better than average for most strikers. Chopra averaged one every three and a half games over his career.

A more accurate stat is how many goals per minute on the pitch- and his figures look much better then.
Although I’d be interested as to why he was sub so often and also how many goals were penalties
This goals per game shit is so misleading and lazy without looking at how many were sub appearances and penalties

Yep. Years ago I remember many moaning about Ross McCormack, yet when played as a striker, even stripping away penalties, he had a marginally better scoring ratio than Chopra.

Goals per minute can be misleading too as I believe the goal scoring rate generally increases in line with time elapsed so substitutes often have inflated scoring figures compared with regular starters on this measure.

That’s a fair point, although nowhere near as bad as where people count 5 minutes off the bench equal to someone who’s had 90
