Certainly a cool story if it comes about. But I could also imagine that Virkus will try to bring Moritz Nicolas under with the devils. I would think, for Gladbach, that the much more attractive option would be borrowed.
For us, however, absolutely unattractive. We will not train an inexperienced goalkeeper for other clubs in such an important position without a knockout. I’m very sure of that.
From your statement one can hear that you have not really dealt with M. Nicolas (I can also understand that). But he is anything but inexperienced at FCK level.
I actually haven’t, I agree with you. However, his performance data tells me that he has made 31 games in the 3rd division. A season is inexperienced for me. Since you’re talking about games at FCK level, I’m not counting the regional league games here.
He’s definitely on the 2nd league level. He is seen by us as a clear successor to Y. Sommer and “only” loaned out again so that he remains at a higher level in match practice. And if you trust him in the 1st Bundesliga, then he will certainly have at least the level of a promoted player (via relegation) from the 3rd to the 2nd league.
Without underestimating the FCK. I like this traditional club very much and I would also like them to play in the 1st league again as soon as possible, because that’s where they belong as a club.
It may be true whether you trust him, but he has never played a season higher than the 3rd league, is now 24, we are in the first quarter of the next 25.
Sippel would be the much safer option in every respect.
It is also clear that you would not like to lose it and that it is now almost part of the inventory. In this context you have to ask yourself what Sippel wants. Playing a class lower for relegation, but kicking around the corner of Därgem again.
The fact that Nicolas “couldn’t prove” it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have what it takes. and I think at Borussia you can assess it better than we can. Otherwise you would not have extended with him a few days ago. Exactly for the reason I already mentioned.
But to each his own opinion.
It’s also about Sippel and I’ve already written that it would of course be a great story for both sides and also for all football romantics.
Personally, I would cry for Sippel because he’s just a great guy and character that’s good for every team. An absolute model professional who never complains, but as the 2nd TW always puts himself at the service of the team and was there when he was needed. Never had a bad feeling when he had to score for Y. Sommer, quite the opposite.
