After selling from Derry Murkin to the Dutch eredivisia, FC Schalke 04 looks around for a new left -back. One of the traded candidates is the Polish international Tymoteusz Puchacz von Holstein Kiel. However, ex-S04 star Tomasz Hajt does not believe that the 26-year-old would not be a good choice.
“He would not be reinforced for Schalke”, the pole faces “WAZ” a hard judgment about his compatriot, who was recently loaned by the fjord to Plymouth Argyle: “He has the role of the left -back very offensive. In Poland, in the jersey of Lech Poznan, it has worked very well. But since the switch to Union Berlin, the boy has not been going.”
The former full -back from 1. FC Kaiserslautern, who moved from the capital to Kiel for around two million euros in the summer of 2024, often “does not come after: he has blatant defensive weaknesses. He only thinks aggressively and runs without meaning and understands too often. But Schalke has to be successful again to be successful again,” said today’s TV expert.
Puchacz for FC Schalke 04 probably too expensive anyway
According to “Sky”, it is unlikely that the national player will hire in Gelsenkirchen anyway. A commitment of the left -back is probably difficult to manage financially. In addition, even more financially positioned clubs from the English 2nd league have expressed their interest in the European Championship driver from Poland.
According to Hajto, Puchacz would not be the urgently needed reinforcement for the most third-party defensive in the past second division season. “It may sound a bit buried, but Schalke should reflect on the strengths of the past: the zero has to stand again! This is how you form championship teams-regardless of the league,” the 53-year-old gives his ex-club advice.

If FC Schalke 04 “does not allow anything to little to the back, the whole team is strengthened from the head and will always be good for a goal on the offensive. This should also be the Schalke plan for the new season”.
