[article]A lot of Liverpool’s business over the last few years has focused on strengthening the next generation of first-teamers, with the likes of Harvey Elliott and Sepp van den Berg brought in before turning 18.
And now another name appears to be on the club’s shopping list, this time before even playing a senior game.
That player is Nick Breitenbucher, currently on the books of Roberto Firmino’s former club Hoffenheim.
Breitenbucher scored 13 goals in 16 games for Hoffenheim’s under-17 side in the 2019/20 season, including four in an 8-1 win over Frankfurt back in September.
And now, according to the Guardian, Liverpool and Chelsea are two of the teams interested in coaxing the 17-year-old away from Germany.
He wouldn’t be the only German in the Reds’ academy, with teenage striker Paul Glatzel having committed his long-term future to the club earlier this season.[/article]
Looks like that piece of shit kid from Kinder chocolates
Maybe you have a point here.
The circumstances of his departure at Freiburg are still quite 'unclear'. His brother-in-law/agent's alleged connections to the Spanish honoured society are supposed to having played a heavy role for his trial at Hercules Alicante where he impressed so much. This seems to be the point where he got his career back on track and later signed for Anderlecht then.
Thanks Holle.
I didn't want to say anything too specific as the EU can prosecute Forum owners who allow their posters to break the Right to be Forgotten act. Hopefully you haven't given too much away.
I don't think so.
I mean, this information is available to anyone with rudimentary abilities in internet research.
Information on his time at Legia, which is called 'The Zubrowka Years' by some, is much harder to find. At that time he had close connections to the legendary former Ukrainian Welterweight Gennadi Ponomarenko (maybe @rurikbird can confirm this?)and - believe it or not - to Hans-Joachim Hagenbruch. Yes, THE Hagenbruch. Parties of unprecedented scale are said to have taken place in Warsaw's legendary 'Dzik' club.
Does this explain why Modo hasn't found him yet ?
Who am I to judge?
Fuck, that was a rabbit hole I didn't want to go down. He is was also behind the german cult/underground classic during his time at Freiburg.
Zwei Mädchen, Eine Tasse.
One was his now estranged wife.
No surprises he's keeping a low profile.

I didn't know that. I mean, he has various talents but I didn't know that he was into fine arts.
He never ceases to amaze me.
That reminds me of a story where Ernst visited a F1 Grand Prix in Japan on invitation by Swiss entrepreneur Urs Sturzenegger, the 'Mustard King'. It's about sake, chicken drumsticks and a one-legged prostitute.
The rest is history, as they say.
Oh, he's not 'really' missing, silly.
I think thats actually a scene from Cars 2
In related news, Tiago Ilori actually played for the reserves many times under an assumed name.
Is he any good H?
don't understand why we're spending money on him imo ...
I mean he's good.. creative, fantastic passer of the ball. The likes we haven't seen since Xabi.
BUT.. do we really need him? For £30m? When Werner was available for £50m
He's in his late 20s ... I don't think this is a signing makes sense.
He's a brilliant player. Klopp usually raves about him when he talks about Bayern. But as others have said it smells of BS.
29 years old and have one year left on his contract, so it has that agent talk to drum up interest for a new deal feel about it.
But he's a fantastic player, and probably one of my favourite players to watch besides our own. Everything he does seems easy and he makes the midfield tick. Would love to sign him even if it meant we're a bit stocked in midfield.

Depends on the price ofc, but I see this as a player who seems undervalued now as he is 29 and in and out of the team.
Well, word on the street is that:
(1) Bayern has already offered Thiago a new contract, and he has turned them down;
(2) Thiago wants to play in the PL. He was desperate to join Man Utd after Barca, but Moyes turned it down;
(3) Liverpool are champions of England and apparently play some kind of sexy football, and has the world's best manager?
The above has yet to be fully verified, but at least one of them is true!!
By sexy football, do you mean the sort of sexy where you get all excited only for it to go all flaccid very quickly, you fail to get it in the net and give up trying after a while.
Like against city?
Absolutely no chance.
Milner 34
Lallana out the door 32
Hendo 30
Gini 29
+
Jones 19
Elliot 17
I could see a reason for an established top class midfielder if we want depth and don't want to have to depend on youngsters or legs going over a long season, a Lallana replacement if you will with 3-4 seasons at the top left in him.
We complain about a lack of depth and, if we were to lose 1-2 of our current midfielders to injury, the pressure would be immense.
Main core is still only 6 midfielders with 3 backups which is about perfect considering 4-5 play in every game : Fabs (26), Keita (26), Ox (25), Hendo, Gini and Alcantara with Millie, Jones and Elliot as backups. That seems to be a very strong midfield with depth for a long campaign in the CL & PL.
I don't think we will sign anyone unfortunately. Don't think anyone bar Lallana and maybe Shaqiri will leave either. Could actually see Lallana getting a year extension.
Not particularly happy with it, but I reckon the club is skint and has been hit hard by this virus. They never spent beyond their means at the best of times, and we've seen that Klopp is more than happy to wait to get his man.
Could be an issue, but I trust Klopp, Edwards and the owners for now. They've all done an outstanding job since they've been here.
