Confirmed Signing Merlin Rohl

[Kurt.]

He has a cousin playing in Geneva…Swiss Rohl.

Huge sporting family they are …. His sister Forewerd is a gymnast

 

[TyphooToffee]

I honestly can't remember.

Is he our first German player?

I'm mentally prepared to look stupid.
I've got a lifetime of training in that respect.

I was wondering that as well

 

[ElGato]

Kept us waiting all night but handily managed to get an interview with him in. Yeh you looked rushed, Everton.

Mad how much more articulate, honest and charismatic this guy is than most of the other native signings we've made

Germans are good people man (mostly)

[rochdaleblue]

Didn’t realise he was so tall.

Rohl 6’3
Beto 6’4
Barry 6’5

Get our delivery right, we are going to be difficult to stop from set pieces.

 

[ultra]

Wonder what nickname his teammates will give him?
My money is on “Magic”.

 

[LostLegend]

Liked the honesty when he talked about the shirt number in his interview. Acknowledged he comes from a privileged background and understands that it's important to remember that not everyone had his opportunities growing up.

Seems like he has his head screwed on and having level heads across the squad is a good thing.

 

[Kurt.]

Hope they let him bring his dog sausage with him

 

[MikeyMike]

He's impressive in his interview, that's for sure. And his personal ethos seems to suit the club.

Just hope he can play a bit too!
