FiNeRaIn Basingstoke Royal I think Gylfi is selling himself short if he goes to this german side that no one has heard of.
Someone suggested that the bundesliga is the arguably the best in Europe or words to that effect, which is bollocks and this team are small fry with no big names.
Gylfi is good enough to be playing for a big team, and if he made a move to top 6 prem side then fair enough, but to take a gamble and sign for a mediocre side in Germany just doesn't make sense.
Turn it down gylfi and wait for the move you deserve.
I think it would be a great move for him - a team in a STABLE league, playing for a team that led the German league a year or so ago for months and are comfortably mid table. He'd get a chance at playing time - something he probably wouldnt in the prem with the 30 man squads that exist. He would also still get to play the likes of Bayern, Stuttgart, Hamburg, werder breman, schalke,etc all how are well known teams. Its exactly the right sort of step he should take to continue his development and thats why I think he's a gonner.
I think your post shows a distinct lack of knowledge about German or European football as a whole. As the germany national team proved again this world cup, you don't need " big names" to piss all over woeful, arrogant big name teams like England.
So the premiership is not a stable league?????
I obviously just rate him more highly than you do. There were rumours earlier today that Liverpool had been watching him - now thats more of the level I believe he should be aiming for. Not a mid table german team that (and im sorry if my knowledge of german football is not up to scratch) I and many others havent heard of.
And the arguement you put forward regarding the national team makes no sense at all.
German national team is strong because their domestic league is weak and doesnt attract the best players in the world and they have mainly home grown players. The premiership is the best domestic league in the world and attracts the best players from around the world, unfortunately this means our national team is weak as the english players dont get a game.
