[RUMOUR] Ludwig Augustinsson

Not sure how much is in this as a quick Google search only gave the SportWitness link with regards to him coming here. There are more links with him going to Fulham. Still, a rumour is a rumour.

Ludwig is a Swedish international left-back currently ripping up the World Cup.
He's 24, 5' 11" and currently plays for Werder Bremen.

Surest sign yet that the Masina deal has fallen through

 

Or that Holebas is off to training fields new...

 

Is this a cheese joke?

 

Ludwig means helmet in Swedish. So I'd say so.

 

Cheeky! This will wind up a few posters who say Masina is already in the bag that is in the hold of an aircraft about to leave Italy. That is how we always receive our left backs!

 

A greve situation if it is.

 

E dam well better not scupper the Masina deal

 

Interesting fact of the day....Darren Bazeley has been the Head Coach of the New Zealand Under 20 team for the last 5 years.

 

Have we ever had a Ludwig?
Crazy name,almost certainly not a crazy guy as he's Swedish.
Possibly named after Beethoven and a Roman Emperor?
More than good enough for me.
Hoping for Amadeus Hadrian next!

 

You can’t have too many fullbacks.
An international left back - It’s a yes from me.

 

Pretty good on FM.

 

We've had a Herwig but not a Ludwig AFAIK

 

One for the oldies:

 

I've remortgaged the house in preparation of getting his name on the back of my shirt.

 

You'll need broad shoulders to carry that off.

Or a small font.

 

You know what they say. Large name printed on t shirt, small font.

 

Keith Pritchett was manager of the NZ national side for a few years and his son played for NZ too

 

So he was. Loved the way he took penalties. Gutted when GT signed Harrison who took his place in the team.

 

Like Holebas??

 

There's deafinitely some truth in this.

 

More importantly what about my outstanding cheese pun?

 

It was good but You could do butter.

 

Knowing me, you can’t believe it’s not butter.

 

A pathetique attempt at a joke.

 

I watch a fair bit of Werder Bremen and Augustinsson had a fairly decent if unremarkable season with them. If I'm totally honest I don't really remembering him standing out in many games, but equally I don't recall any howlers either. Had quite a good attacking partnership with Kainz down the left from what I remember.

 

Clearer and greater depth on DAB.

 

Ideally, we’d prefer more thrills & spills down the left side.

 

I read that in a Brian Moore voice!
You'll be mentioning 'The Pipkins' next!

 

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, Ludwig Augustinsson!

 

Jut put Sweden ahead!

 

Another 0 on the transfer fee

 

Astonishing levering of name into song. But perfect.

 

Nicely supporting his job application.
