VFB Relegation?

Ok maybe it's a little early to panic but things have not gone so well this off season for my VFB Stuttgart boys. We lost 2 strikers, Szabics to Koln and Kuranyi to Schalke, although that's probably a blessing ;-) and haven't got a replacement yet. We also lost our best player other than our dominating goalie Tim Hilderbrand yesturday when Alexander Hleb signed with Arsenal. Finally one of our best defenders Phillipe Lahm is off to the dark side of the Bundesliga Bayern Munich. Ouch, ouch, ouch!

There are a couple bright spots, a new coach, a new defender Hitzlsperger and a new season in the pokal (the Kickers are in it this year too!), but without another striker signing or two and with this ridiculus talk about signing an aging and fading Figo for our midfield, it's not looking good.

Come on guys, get it going for the fans!!



PS> If anyone wants to join me for the VFB vs. Karlsruhe test match on Tuesday July 12th 7:30PM let me know, tickets are as cheap as 5-10 euros!
