ktfox59 Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 If he ever gets injured and the Mercury doesn't go with the headline 'Fuchs' Ache', I will be severely disappointed.funniest post of the day for me. .
Lestoh Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Forest sign Matt Mills, we sign Christian Fuchs. This really is a new era, lads.
foxfanazer Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Oh dear god how long do we have to enjoy the bad jokes about his name......If you don't like it you can Fuch off
MC Prussian Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Just call him Christian then. *Brought to you by Jehovah's Witnesses*
Tielemans63 Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Hmmm, first thing I read was: Fat thing! I give it to him that he Premier League can play again For schalke no longer good enough will now be cleared in England! Have fun und stay gesund!Fat thing! I give it to him that he Premier League can play again For schalke no longer good enough will now be cleared in England! Have fun und stay gesund! I'd take all that with a pinch of salt, that's just football fans isn't it? There were a few Stoke fans saying Huth was past it. If Mahrez leaves in the summer I'm sure there'll be plenty of people piping up about how he goes missing in games. If Kasper was to leave there'd be City fans slating his ability on crosses and his kicking. Doesn't make them bad players. Par for the course innit?
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Good, experienced signing. Superb with the dead ball (which we need). Happy with this. Clubs apparently sniffing after Schlupp now.
Leicesterpool Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Well welcome to him, got to admit I don't know a great deal about him but with him being the Austrian captain, then he must be good! To be honest this signing came out of nowhere. I assumed the first signing would have been that lad from japan.
Foxymcoxy Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Comparison of him, Schlupp and Konch. Feel free to swap in any stats you are more interested in.
Fox seen in Norwich Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 If he ever gets injured and the Mercury doesn't go with the headline 'Fuchs' Ache', I will be severely disappointed. and if recieves a red card....... Fuchs off
LCCFox96 Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 If we are going to stick with the LWB role in our side then Fuchs and Schlupp are too great options to have in that position. It's about strength in depth for us. Fuchs won't have the raw pace, physicality and directness displayed by Schlupp but he will bring other things to the party like quality from set pieces and a good delivery from wide positions. Two well balanced options in my opinion.
Tielemans63 Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Comparison of him, Schlupp and Konch. Feel free to swap in any stats you are more interested in. On a side note, I bloody love Squawka.
dbtcity Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Think I will watch the real v schalke game on sky on demand to study Mr fuchs form
daddylonglegs Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 he described our escape as 'simply cool'. this guy is already my hero
Babylon Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Comparison of him, Schlupp and Konch. Feel free to swap in any stats you are more interested in. Very impressive stats, much better than Schlupps going forward and decent defensively.

LAprice_ Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 If we played two banks of four, it must be tempting to play Schlupp and Fuchs together. They could interchange between LB and LW for the whole 90 minutes. One minute the opposition are attacked with pure pace and skill and then next minute they're having to cope with very good technical ability and crossing range.

We saw the 4-4-2 didn't work last season. I wouldn't go back to the 4-4-2 (or 4-4-1-1) to be honest. Our season changed when the formation changed. And Christian Fuchs/Schlupp are both better wing backs I believe?
Generaty Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Hey there, I'm a Fan from Fuchs former Club Schalke 04, i registered here, because i like Fuchs, and want to follow his way after the time in Gelsenkirchen. First of all: Christian Fuchs (seems to me, sound very funny to you guys in with his Name, compare it to Fox, it is in German) has a great character, he always gave 100% for Schalke, his first Season in Gelsenkirchen was very strong, he do a lot to make Huntelaar the most efficient Scorer with 29 Goals. He has a very strong shoot with his left foot, especially FreeKicks and Corners are great. Most time, he played as Left Defender, but he lost his position because his Defense Skills are not that good, as the one of our other Players like Denis Aogo or Sead Kolasinac, thats the reason why he didn't play a lot in the past. His strength is in the offensive, Roberto Di Matteo saw this in the last season, and make him a left defender with many offensive parts in the Match, it works because he had Matija Nastasic in his back, we played 3-5-2 at that time. He was called "SchlangenFuchserl" ("SnakeFox") because he had some snakes, but he is married now with his american girlfriend (the reason why his english is that good, no compare to mine ones), he get a son at start of 2015 I hope you had lot of fun with Fuchs, he is a great Guy!
LCCFox96 Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 Yeah but can Fuchs go to cross with his left foot whilst knocking it out for a goal kick with his right? That my friend is a skill very few professionals in this game master. Schlupp is one of a mere handful that has and don't we love him for it.
dbtcity Posted 3 June 2015 Posted 3 June 2015 13 mins worth of highlights v Madrid he scored 1 and had a hand in the next 2 goals.... caught ball watching a bit for 1 of reals goal, but it was ronaldo who split the defenders so I will let him off, looks like a decent signing

And Christian Fuchs/Schlupp are both better wing backs I believe? I agree Col although I would say that in the Prem particularly, the opposition suss you out very very quickly and whilst we looked great playing with 3 at the back, teams will be wiser to that next season and so we have to be able to utilise a back 4 imho.Totally agree that we do look better with wing backs. My slight worry is that Hull shocked a few people playing 3 at the back two years ago but teams worked them out last season and they didn't seem able to change it up. We need to have a few tricks up our sleeve.
