Willems from PSV to sign tomorrow is the rumour...and the reason Oczipka was sold!
Great outcome in my view if it happens.

Haller is flying to SJ TONIGHT and will be available for the 2nd match again the Quakes. It looks like he'll be playing in that match, I'm looking forward to see him.
Oczipka is very likely to sign with Schalke within the next two days, so we're having a new To-Do, It'll be hard to replace him, there's not too many left-backs available and Bastian did very well over the last years for us. I hoped he'll become our captain this season, as he almost never missed a match.

I'd be giving Oczipka a lift to Gelsenkirchen in exchange for €4m. One year left on his contract only, he wants to leave and although he was better this season than last, I think we can get better for the money. Someone who offers better quality in the opposition half would be a good start.
The Hradecky situation needs to be finalised soon. It has dragged on far too long and some Finnish fans need to know what team they will support next season
I'm optimistic about next season as I think there are some good signings. Eintracht probably had the worst forwards in the league last season with Meier injured for so long. They did very well to get enough points in the first half of these season to avoid real problems in the second half.
My flights are booked for Wolfsburg at home and Gladbach away so that's 6 points guaranteed
Too negative in my view. There were times when there were no Frankfurt players even close to half way line and you've got a Mexican international player trying to kick the ball as far as possible to nobody!
If we got the draw Kovac is hailed as a master tactician. Unfortunately when the other team scores so late there is not enough time to even create a chance never mind get a goal.
Thankfully we have Berlin to look forward to as the league has been a massive missed opportunity to finish top 6. Home wins against Ingolstadt and Hamburg for example and it would still be a huge possibility as the other teams outwith top 4 have also been poor.

Draw this weekend and beat Mainz 3 weeks after.
Job done.......until Berlin 27/5.

If Eintracht had taken their chances then "luck" and "fortune" don't come into it.
It looked to me like they had settled for a draw in the second half and got punished......by a bad cross.

After last season, I like the number of changes to the squad but the quality of the new players remains to be seen. I'm hopeful they can improve to around mid table and take it from there but I'd imagine that around 12th might be more realistic as the best outcome.
When you hear that they have a budget deficit this summer rather than a transfer budget it shows that the club are performing poorly considering the great crowds they continue to get. A sky high stadium rent to Stadt Frankfurt doesnt help but I've never had a high opinion of the board or their success in the transfer market.
It wasn't so long ago that Frankfurt and Gladbach were performing at similar levels. Now the difference between the two clubs is like night and day. When Ingolstadt and Augsburg are performing better it should set alarm bells ringing.
Massive room for improvement but I have more confidence in Kovac than I had for Schaaf or Veh.

Always great to see our eagle in other stadiums & congratulations to your victory.
You´re right, things definitely needed to change and from what we see already, they will. I dont like the fact that Carlos is leaving is to play in russia, but still life goes on and Im sure we will get a new, good defender. It´s still plenty of time and we already made some good deals, I think.
I´m looking forward to our game in Atalanta, think I will also be there with many lads. I´m still very convinced that with Kovac we have an awesome coach and now he has enough time to prepare the team for a hard season which will hopefully be much better than the last one. But I´m very positive on that.
Greetings from Frankfurt !

I agree that Kovac will do a good job. It seems already that he wants to change many things.
No concerns from me about Zambrano leaving although it's crazy to agree to keep the sales clause (only €3m?) when they extended his contract last season. €3m is nothing these days.
Good to see that they want to keep Abrahams despite an offer from Bremen. 1 or 2 other good quality replacements are needed though with Anderson and Russ injured.
I'd be delighted if someone offered good money for Seferovic although that's unlikely based on his goalscoring record last season and this summer. I heard there was big money offered last summer from England (€10m +??). Hindsight is a wonderful thing!!

Was hoping to get an early visit to Leipzig against FC Energy Drink but disappointed it's 2 games against them in 2017.
Will be two home games and Hamburg before the end of the year. Atalanta is also on the agenda next month.
Good to see some new players already - things definitely needed to change after a disappointing 2015/16 season.
After watching my team win the Scottish Cup for the first time in 114 years and Eintracht avoiding relegation, I'm looking forward to next season. I had a ticket for the game in Nuernberg but was still celebrating the cup final win and had no chance of making a 07:00 flight......even on a Monday!
Eintracht at Hampden (again)
This video sums up the game and fans celebration

The teams does fight (finally!), you see proper defending but still there's no punch in the offensive line. It's a "No Meier, No Party" situation and we have to get out of it NOW! We just need to score the opening goal just once, it would make things way easier for us.
Still Mainz on sunday is a tough fixture, they turn defending into attacking in the blink of an eye. We have to be very aware of that, otherwise we'll face situations like with the 0:1 against Hoffenheim quite frequently. Again: The defense is doing well under Niko Kovac and the result of the Leverkusen match says nothing about the match itselves. It's like everything that could have gone wrong just did. Again. We have to win against Mainz, no excuses, no alibis.

Job done, even without scoring first!!
Counts for little though if they don't win in Darmstadt.
The last game in Bremen will hopefully be all to play for.

in a certain way everything stays the same as before: we have to beat Darmstadt and Bremen and better win a further point (better 3) out of the matches against that annoying suburb or the brown-yellow fellows. Or match wasn't that bad (at least for 60 minutes - anybody knows it lasts quite a bit longer than that?) but the opponents managed to leap forward. Still Bremen is "just" 4 points ahead and should we diminish the gap to only three points it will stay in our hands until that very last match, when we face just them. Still: last days defeat feels really bad

Edinburgh contingent booked for Stuttgart and Hamburg away days and planning Darmstadt derby/markets in December. Another new face or two looking to experience German football and will be educated on supporting a proper team rather than the usual Dortmund/Bayern idiocy.
Let's hope some of the Kevin Trapp millions are spent wisely soon......

I doubt there will be too many for a midweek game unfortunately- couple of hundred maybe.
Shame it's not Leeds at the weekend and Fulham during the week.

Getting your ticket in advance will get you free travel to the stadium which is 10-15 mins train ride from the city centre.
I've never used the touts but if its a sold out game you will likely pay a premium obviously. Standing tickets are never available but adult seats generally range from about EUR25-40 depending on the category of game and where you are in the stadium.
Steer clear of the usual O'Reilly's/main station drinking scene that so many end up doing. Its OK for late opening but you'd be better off in Sachsenhausen on a Saturday night which will be very busy and has plenty to keep you occupied.

If you get the train out, there should be a few people selling tickets as you walk from the stadion train station up towards the stadium.

I'd suggest getting the train (SBahn S8/S9) to the stadium and there are a lot of places to get a beer on the short walk to the stadium once you get to stadion bahnhof. Your football ticket will cover the travel to and from the game.
Hopefully you're not ones for going overseas and drinking in Irish bars. Sachsenhausen is a much better shout for after the game.
Once you scan your ticket you will need to buy a card to get beers (and pay a deposit for the "glass" so stick outside initially.
There are thousands of English speaking expats who choose not to learn German while working in Frankfurt so you'll get by easily. It's always good to learn a few basic words and phrases when going to different countries!
Enjoy your trip. Glad you never chose to go to Munich or Dortmund!!
You'll get a far better atmosphere.

Hi
If you mean what reference to include when sending the payment then include:
Reservierungs-Nr. (example) RI-1292733
I ordered tickets today and normally also pay by card immediately but I must have chosen the rechnung/invoice method.
I emailed ticket@eintrachtfrankfurt.de to ask them to take payment from my mastercard. You just need to give them your card number and expiry date only and they can take the payment and email you the receipt
