Title: Sascha Riether
Post by: Alan on March 23, 2013, 06:56:02 AM
I'd like to wish Sascha Riether a Happy 30th Birthday. Possibly, pound for pound, our best signing in a while (at least).

Happy birthday Sascha, you have done so well for us this season and I hope Fulham put an attractive contract in front of you as a birthday present.

Seeing as he's over thirty, we don't want him anymore, right? "Lower the squad age! Fire the cannons!"

Happy Birthday, Sash.

Best right back in the league this season in my opinion (maybe Zabaleta)

Do we have to agree a transfer fee with his parent club in Germany or can we sign him for nothing? On the basis we haven't paid anything for him, pound for pound you can't get much better. If his performances have meant that his parent club want £5m now or something silly, that may change!

Pound for pound, I would have to go with Schwarzer as our best signing as he was free as well. Best value signings for whom we paid a fee, I would have to go with Hangeland and Saha - both around £2m I think.

We have an option to buy his contract from Cologne,  if we wish to do so, at a sum agreed last year, at the end of his one year loan period (30.06.13).

We do, however, need to agree terms with him. If we fail to do so (or in the highly unlikely event that we decide not to exercise the option) he will return to 1.FC Koln, to whom he is contracted to 30.06.14.

More consistent than Rafael (another contender); that's for sure. 

Riether is criminally underrated. Nobody outside of Fulham mentions him in the same breath as those two.

Really? Because every time I watch Fulham play, the announcer -- whoever it may be -- calls Riether "one of Fulham's best players" and "one of the best right backs in the league," and "the best loan transfer of the season." That doesn't sound underrated to me.
