Confirmed Signing Merlin Rohl

[Bungle]

Absolutely done me there.

I'm off back to the Grealish thread to tell everyone how big his calves are

Be sure to head back here in a bit please mate so you don't miss my wizard sleeve joke

 

[Nymzee]

I doubt these lads are giving up first team football in the Bundesliga to sit on the bench of a PL team without Europe.

If he’s joining he’s going to be playing.

Everton fans are going to have to start getting used to a world where a 36 year old isn’t starting 38 PL games a season for us as an automatic first pick.

James Garner has completely won Moyes over as one of the midfield pivots. He’s a nailed on starter. Dibling hasn’t come to sit on the bench, neither has KDH, neither will Rohl.

How are you getting all these on the pitch exactly? Not sure you've thought it through.

Rohl,Rohl,Rohl the ball
Gently thru midfield
Beto takes a shot
And ends up smashing someone’s car windshield.

 

[Mashtray]

I want him just for the song:

Oh, ho, ho, he's magic
Don't you know...
The tricks up his sleeve, Merlin Rohl..

Oh ho, ho he's magic
Don't you know...
And he'll never leave, Merlin Rohl..

haha so good actually

"Merlin's taking big strides after his injury troubles. He's got pace, great movement. He can be a real difference-maker, and he completely identifies with the club." - Former Freiburg head coach Christian Streich

"He fought his way into [Freiburg's] team. That's not easy. He focused on defensive work and also came into his own offensively. He's very quick and determined. He's very dangerous." - Germany U21 head coach Antonio Di Salvo

"Merlin's the complete midfielder. He can do it defensively and offensively." - Röhl's former coach at Ingolstadt, Tomas Oral

Yeah, but is he PL ready/Moyes fit/loves scouse/drinks in the Winslow/etc?

Rohl has been a sub for Freiburg recently as much as he's been a starter. He's started both games this season on the bench.

Yup. This boy is an upgrade to our midfield. For the club to progress, Gana must become wise-old-head filler and then Garner an option from the bench. One of those things will happen this season.

Just seen him Rohling down the dockroad. He came by seaplane and landed behind BMD.

Though 2 in 2 now, all Betos are off

Gueye is one of, if not our most important players. You may not notice it when he’s on the pitch, but you do when he’s not on it

 

[Rita_Poon]

Ganz Gut!

But I was an inside forward or left winger in my playing days! Scrum half in that other game...

So long as you weren't a Junker...

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Definitely not moaning, great that we're signing players. Just think that as we've all said that a traditional holding midfielder and a right back are a priority.

Moyes going for a different tactical angle - no more fixed positions. Players expected to move and interchange positions.

Total football

 

[Bryan+]

You gotta rohl with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

When we enquired about him we spoke to Hans Messerschmitt on extension 109

 

[helpimonfire]

He is called Merlin. Worth signing just for the name.
