Bundesliga Thread - 2022/23

[Cellarite]

@Bembeltown @Rhineland is there a plan for when they will announce the tv changes during the season? The PL has one (which it admittedly doesnt always stick to), but would be helpful to know.

Bundesliga 2 starts in a little over 3 weeks, hopefully the first announcement isn't too far off.

Yes - and some of us have a very detailed spreadsheet to update!

I just tried to find something online but no luck I am afraid. Maybe @Rhineland has more luck.

Eintracht are about to sign Mario Götze this week it seems. Only costs 4 million transfer fee, not sure about his salary. Still waiting for the official announcement

Sorry mates, cannot help with the TV changes or anything. I usually keep an eye on the kicker website and watch out for announcements there. Doesn't seem that there has been any particular pattern of when and for how many matchdays they exactly set up the new dates and times (see below, DFL explanation)

Very good signing for Eintracht. Always liked Götze, at some point though it looked like he's never really lived up to his potential.

The talent was obviously always there, but somehow he was not really lucky with his career choices. He joined Bayern instead of going to Liverpool with Klopp, and then returned to Dortmund where he was not exactly welcomed with open arms. I think he crumbled under all the pressure and media attention he got. Piling up injuries and this mysterious health issues that he had when he was in Dortmund and got all chubby didn't help either.

He did play two good seasons in Eindhoven and I think this was somewhat of a reset for him. Away from the media, his critics etc. He hopefully has his health issues under control as well, at least he looks super fit now.

BUT...and that is the Eintracht Fan in me: This could either be a super signing or become a disaster. Always black and white, never grey for me. Thats what supporting Eintracht does to you. Never positive, always expecting the worst. ;-)

Exciting times at least. If we can get all the players , that we are linked to, signed we should have a pretty exciting team (at least on paper).

Berlin derby on Matchday One?

Different, I suppose.

Different, I suppose.

And Frankfurt v Bayern, Dortmund v Leverkusen, and even Köln v Schalke. Those four games on matchday one is an odd choice

Our new home shirt! La Bestia blanca strikes back.

And we officially signed Götze a second ago.

Alario seems to be done deal as well....Crazy what a difference CL money and football makes.

So; who's going to finish second then?
