Riether gone to Freiburg

Personally I dont think players slow down at 31. The training and fitness levels in modern football keep them fit a lot longer now. Look at Robben. He's still a whippet. I'm going to miss Sascha. But he was never going to stay. To be honest I thought he had already left.

Load of tosh how many times did you see Sascha burst down the wing and get crosses in or act as a runner on the wing getting forward.

Reither had one good season, the season before he signed a contract with us, after this he was a complete liability and a shadow of the player who came on loan.

This was news about 10 days ago mate.
But yes I think it was time he moved on. As soon as he signed permanently, his form went downhill at an alarming rate when you consider his first season with us

my bad! i searched for a thread on here about it and didnt see one. I agree his form fell alarmingly fast which is something I attribute to his age.

Robben is a freak of nature compared to alot of other players his age. I agree that training and fitness levels keep them going at a higher level for longer (Klose) but there are many more speedy young players than guys the other side of 30 that are screaming down the touchline.

I have no idea what tosh means, so im not sure if youre agreeing or disagreeing.

And how many times did he manage to get back to defend after those runs forwards?

Eloc, "tosh" is a good , often used, English informal word meaning nonsense, rubish or balderdash. The word will be found in most dictionaries and you should familiarise yourself with it as there is a lot of it about, it can be found on this board on occasions

Good first season, performances dropped in the second. I wish him all the best at Freiburg.

Going to miss Sascha. A true professional and a loss. not the greatest of seasons but no worse than any of the other defenders
