Best wishes to Marcus Beierle who left for Darmstadt today. It’s probably as good a time as any to take a look at how next season’s squad is shaping up.
ON LOAN The club is trying to hang on to Alex Meier and Jermaine Jones who are on loan from Hamburg and Leverkeusen respectively. As both players want to stay it is probably only a matter of agreeing acceptable terms for the pair.
SIGNED Highly-regarded 19 year old striker Dominik Stroh-Englel has signed from Oberliga side Waldgirmes. Francesco Copado has finally arrived from Unterhaching and it’ll be interesting to see how he fares in the First Division. Defensive midfielder Christoph Preuß returns from Bochum. Swiss international midfielder Christoph Spycher (15 caps) has signed from Grasshopper Zurich.
UNDER NEGOTIATION Another Swiss midfielder, Benjamin Huggel (12 caps) is the subject of negotiations with his current club FC Basel.
Other transfer targets reportedly include defenders Marco Rehmer (Berlin) and Björn Schlicke (Hamburg); midfielders Marcus Lantz (Rostock), Kristian Lisztes (Bremen) and Youssef Mokhtari (Cottbus). Attacking players Bernardo Romeo (Hamburg), Mike Hanke (Schalke) and Zvjezdan Misimovic (Bochum).
GONE As well as Marcus Beierle, Torben Hoffmann has left for 1860 Munich. Andreas Menger and Jens Keller have retired from the playing staff.
While it’s early days yet, the squad for next season is already starting to have a solid feel to it. Certainly it’s shaping up to be a lot stronger than what we went up with the last time.
There was a Article from the Kicker where was told that the 2 Players from Hamburg will not change to Frankfurt. But very nice Compilation from the new Player Rumors it seems the "Gerüchtekücheforum" gets Competition
It's being reported today that out-of-favour and out-of-contract Berlin defender Marko Rehmer is on his way. Rehmer will sign on the dotted line when Bruchagen returns from the FIFA Court in Lausanne where l'affaire Chris rumbles on.
Rehmer could be anything. A useful defender, he was part of the German team in the last World Cup. However, he has hardly kicked a ball in anger for a year. He started last season with a nine-match ban for contravening doping regulations and never got a look in after that. Funkel thinks he can rejuvenate the 32 year-old's career. Let's hope we're not paying him too much.
@ AvA – you're dead right. The Hamburg pair are out of the frame. I can't stand the heat, so I stay out of the Gerüchteküche! I know, I'm a wimp!

Chris and Bruchhagen returned this afternoon from Lausanne, the Result from the CAS Trial will be mailed to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2-4 weeks.

I would rather say, let's hope Funkel is right, i think he is a good Replacement for Hoffmann. And if he doesnt return to his old Condition we have also a few players who could play at this Position.

Yeah I know, there are only highly informated People who are always up to date with the Newest Rumors told directly from Bruchhagen
The big news for this week is that Jermaine Jones is signed sealed and delivered.
Bruchagen is still leaning on Hamburg and Basel regarding Meier and Huggel respectively. It'll be a question of who blinks first in both cases, and Bruchagen doesn't do much blinking.
The other big news is Amanatidis is on his way back. It'll be announced officially on Monday. Or so I was reliably informed tonight, and I didn't even have to buy the man a beer!
I don't know about everyone else but I'm having a very good feeling about next season. We're much better equipped already than we were the last time we came up. If we can snap up Beni Huggel and hang onto Meier we're a good 10-15 points better than the team of two years ago. On top of that we have a progressive trainer who seems to be very good at man-management. Exactly what Rehmer and some of the younger guys need and exactly the opposite of what we had two years ago.
Thank you F-Hoop! Great posts! Who do you think is going to be our playmaker coming season. It used to be Skela. Now who?
Also with so much more I would expect a bit more flashy signings. Are they too conservative or the money is not so much after all. I am sure they would want some more for December.
