Stock Exchange: Bundesliga in search of cheap savior

A touch of holiness surrounds Wolfsburg. As the Bundesliga club in last week presented his new striker, was introduced as Dieumerci Mbokani. The first name of the Congolese means "Thank God", but unfortunately it is not his real. Dieudonne correctly his name, he explained to his new employer, Dieumerci was only his nickname.

His real name is, however, religious in nature and means "Given by God". It may be forgiven the wolf burgers that they have lost track of. For one thing worries plague sports, on the other hand, the potential approaches currently give the handle in his hand, as they can at VfL ever get confused.

In general: Crisis and purchases, the two concepts are combined in football tradition. For if his own players can not be trusted to issue new her. And so today a lot will be happening on the transfer market. To 12.00 clock, the name of the exchange volunteer to appear on the transfer list, to 18.00 clock must now contracts with the German Football League (DFL) will be submitted.

After that, the club survive until the summer with what they have. Wolfsburg is currently the focus of a huge player vertebra. Mbokani striker has been the only new the manager Dieter Hoeness lured this winter to Lower Saxony, he was on loan from AS Monaco. But that does not reach, finally, the Edin Dzekos transfer to Manchester City brought a lot of money and cost a lot of quality.

Coach Steve McClaren complained after the 0-3 against Borussia Dortmund. "Everyone has now seen that our squad is busy too thin" Now Hoeness moves with the check book around the country to fill his coach the team. Jefferson Farfan is one of the many players he will have in mind. The unconventional Schalke attacker who recently wanted to provoke a strike with his move and said 15 million euros is expensive, but can only change if its still coach Felix Magath will substitute.

Perhaps he has already found him well: On Sunday was Angelos Charisteas, who mittrainiert since Wednesday at the Royal Blues into a contract until season's end. He was without a contract since its resolution in the French first division club AC Arles-Avignon club in November. € 37 million invested in the clubs the past few weeks in fresh legs, more than twice as much as in the past winter break.

The majority of them (15 million €) leafed out Bayern Munich for Hoffenheim Luiz Gustavo. And there are added some changes. For most clubs, the hackle behind the expectations, do wegkaufen the crisis. In addition to Wolfsburg and Schalke Werder Bremen also looks after the cost savior - especially for the central defense.

"We are looking for, because we still want to do something," said general manager Klaus Allofs, "but it must fit the business environment." Werder have only about three million euros for a transfer in this winter. The club does have more resources, but has built reserves to survive the next season without damage can - after a season without threatening revenues from the European Cup.

Defender Samuel Firmino de Jesus, currently Unemployed, trained for several days in Bremen and is probably required. "Samuel is little risk for us," said Allofs, because there are only about 250,000 € earnest money and intermediation costs due. Whether it comes in addition to the cheap or a Nobel variant is doubtful: "It is rather unlikely.

I currently see no life-saver that can help us directly, "said Allofs. Josip Simunic from Hoffenheim and Nico Kranjcar (Tottenham Hotspur) were found in recent weeks as too expensive.
