Did Verl have a lower purchase option and Dynamo wanted to avoid selling him too cheaply? Somehow I don’t fully understand this transfer. If they had brought it back to install it themselves in Dresden, fine. If they had brought it back and resold it immediately for a large sum, fine. But get it back and then only lend it out with a purchase option, the mgwl. is only slightly higher than the transfer fee you paid yourself? Kind of doesn’t make much sense to me. He could have earned this sum if he had continued to play in Verl like he did in the first half of the season. Did Dresden perhaps simply gamble away?
If I remember correctly, they broke off the loan with Verl because they didn’t want to strengthen a direct competitor in the promotion race. So far so good and also makes sense. The fact that Zurich is then given a KO of 400-600k doesn’t make any sense to me either…
It’s difficult to find the truth anywhere, in the end it’s all just a lot of speculation.
When the loan was agreed, Verl certainly didn’t have a KO – without getting too close to Verl, their record purchase is 100k – they won’t have agreed a KO for 3 or 4 times as much, plus Dresden continued to pay a large part of his salary has – so difficult there too. For me, Verl was a good place for a loan from the start, a quiet environment and not the money to sign him.
I also think that just weakening the competition is too thin… but it’s also clear that if Verl had been ahead of Dresden at the end of the season thanks to an OBM and Dresden wasn’t promoted – that would be more expensive than anything else.
The development in the first half of his loan, in the second half of last season, was difficult – I wished in the summer that they would give him a chance in preparation, but that didn’t happen – but the first half of the season was fantastic for him in Verl – there One might think that it would be a goal to celebrate promotion to League 2 together with his parent club…
I can well imagine that Dynamo planned to integrate OBM into the team – only those in charge know when the time was or whether there was already interest and offers. It was clear to me after the 0-1 defeat in Verl that integration in Dresden could be difficult – how one can be so happy about Verl’s goal against his home club and possibly future club – was astonishing – the interview after that Game has shown that he has little interest in coming back to Dresden – so nothing about the joint promotion.
Since the relationship between OBM and Markus beginning can be described as difficult, it was perhaps not the luckiest circumstance that a sick note arrived on the first day of training and departure for the training camp and he was only able to travel late – it may be unfortunate, it has an aftertaste Only OBM knows the truth. It was also emphasized several times that you always pay attention to harmony in the team – so perhaps it was difficult. The fact that he sees himself in the CL in the future shortly beforehand in the interview and that his advisor Dennis Aogo can imagine him playing in Dresden shortly afterwards – perhaps the picture shows that OBM has looked for a new advisor – was certainly not the case the statement, but it also looks strange.
In the end there was interest from the 2nd league, whether Paderborn, Hamburg and whoever else – perhaps it was OBM’s wish to go this route – no transfer came about. It seems very confusing, it seems to have gone quite badly… Loan to Zurich – after all, they’ll probably cover the entire salary, but only a loan. Purchase option – somewhere between 400 – 600,000 € – if he had played a strong second half of the season in Verl, there might have been 1 million – but there was also the risk that he would cost us promotion, which would be a double-digit million amount.
If you now look at the OBM situation, highly praised talent, the paths were open to him at Bayern – 3rd league champion at 18? years – loan to Holland and return to Bayern – due to the relegation of the Bayern U23 regional league, at 20 years old – an offer comes from a 2nd league team that was only promoted at the beginning of the season, but is safely in the middle of the table in the winter – a charismatic coach with Alex Schmidt, who wants to play offensive football – exactly OBM’s thing, sounds like a match – some write, say – he signed voluntarily – yes the situation also looked sexy
In the end, Dresden didn’t win a single game in the second half of the season, relegation – OBM won in 7? Experienced 3 coaches in Dresden in months – plus Capretti, who thought more defensively and completely failed (which was not only due to the coach, but also the timing etc.) and M. at the beginning of the restart in Dresden with a focus on the 1st. Victory in 2022 and also a stable defense. Loan to Verl and six months later the parent club is looking for a player, midfielder, evasive on the outside, standard shooter – and lets you “sore” in Verl.
The match was no longer a match early on – for me, as I said, everything was just a description of the situation and my impression – perhaps the management has now gambled away – for me as a fan it is silent that the situation cannot be resolved again in the summer… if Zurich doesn’t pull the knockout. We all don’t know the contracts, maybe it was a great deal because from €500,000 or €600,000 we would have to transfer x% of the profit share to Bayern… maybe he would have matured further in Verl at the end of the season, we would have been promoted and OBM would have changed, similar to Hollerbach, for a seven-figure sum.
If it were, the topic is off the table for six months and for me personally, he should really ignite in Zurich, be happy, knock out Zurich and he’ll soon be playing internationally again in Switzerland – he should be granted everything, the boy is 22 , has huge potential – should he show it and be successful, it’s a shame that it didn’t work out for us again.
