JoeAman08 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Let's be glad this deal was done. What a player he's been to start the year. Quick and strong and drawn comparison to Gareth Bale. Good move for him I think too. Can play at a good standard for an up and coming team. Roughly €10m. RB Leipzig are a team on the rise in Germany. Not well thought of because they go against the grain in Germany. They prefer fan owned clubs and despise corporate teams. The RB stands for Red Bull. Moved to a large stadium not quite in Leipzig if I remember well. Gone from 4th to top division in 5 years and I reckon they could get champions league in the next 5. Awash with cash and ambition. If they can secure moves like these(and past ones tbf) they will be a force. Linked with young Reece Oxford earlier in the window as well. They continue to impress. I know this isn't Bristol City related but I thought it was an interesting story and situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English players rarely go abroad so this is a bit of an odd one but fair play to the lad for taking the plunge. Sort of player I would hope we would sign if we are ever in position to compete for his signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he would've stayed in England the fee may have been higher. For example Renato Sanches was linked with United for £40-45m. Ended up going for €25-30m. I think all other countries know the money in England. I would assume forest have a massive sell on clause whatever the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it to be £8m with add ons up to £13m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Been really impressed with Burke and looks a great prospect. Reminds me of Bale also with his direct running and eye for goal but really strange club to go to and not a Prem club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 The first line said something like `footballer ,19 who might as well retire now as he`s ruined his career` His name was also edited to Oliver Snake Burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claverham_Red Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Surprised Forest are selling Paterson and Burke. Expect cheaper imports to offset these sales. If Assombalonga goes I would expect another season of decline for Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question as I know zero about the majority of continual football but if they despise "corporate teams" why do they have the name of a drinks giant in their name and their logo as part of the club badge?

It`s the rest that despise RB because they`re corporate and not like the others. Think of them as Germany`s MK Dons which is probably the closest analogy over here.

I've only written what I've read. I probably didn't explain it as well as what I've read either but the post just above is a good analogy. Think it has less to do with the name but I think the majority of lower level teams which is what they were are fan owned.

They've got 3 quality young forwards already in Poulsen, Selke and Werner. Probably the youngest top division team in the big 5.

Lrrr Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 When I heard Bayern Munich wanted him I thought he'd have head off there, interesting to chose Leipzig, yes he'll get first team football probably, however if he then doesn't live up to the standard his career could decline sharply. A move to Munich or a prem club, even if he doesn't step up someone will take the gamble on him still, and if he were to make the step up he'd be playing for a huge club in all likeliness.

True but I'd still see at least an upper championship team take him back on a whim if he failed. Personally can't see it though. Think he'll be a hit there.

ZiderEyed Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 As someone who follows German football quite closely, the reaction to RB Leipzig has been unbelievably toxic, protests against them at many away games, protests from fans of the club Red Bull bought. Despite it, the money they've got and the young talent they've nabbed could mean they reach the Champions League in the not too distant future.

Robin 101 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Well done to the kid.
