I noticed Massih Wassey changed clubs in Germany. He's now with Borussia Dortmund 2, coming over from SC Wiedenbrück.

This is a rather big move up, yes?

It's the same level, the Regionalliga in tier IV and the same division as his former club as well; I wouldn't say it's an earth-shattering move given that he's 28 and almost certainly not seen as someone who could move up to the first team in the future given that Borussia are one of the better clubs in the Bundesliga. That said Borussia II finished 4th last year, whereas Wiedenbruck were mid-table so perhaps it could be a more likely route into the 3. Liga.

[Obinna]

Yeah exactly.

I don't think there is any realistic chance of him joining the first team, but if he were to hit a rich vein of form (..and it would have to be mighty rich), he would technically have a more straightforward pathway to Tuchel's squad than 99.99% of footballers in Germany.

In a wild fantasy world, he tears it up and makes a brief appearance for the 1st team, putting him on the radar of lesser 1st division and 2nd division clubs. That would be a dream scenario for him.

[Ivanovski94]

His move is similar to what Bayern did a couple years back. They brought in Tobias Schweinsteiger who was a veteran at the 3 and 4th tier in Germany, brought in to add a veteran presence and I guess a guide of sorts, for the youngsters on the second team.

[shamrock]

Yeah and the other thing is that a pro like Wassey knows his limitations and won't be in the way when they have a new young talent coming through on his position. It's not like he has the ambition to play higher anyway.

After the trials he went on last year and interest from Russian and Norwegian clubs this move makes no sense.

Or they were meant to put some pressure on Lübeck. It worked cause they signed him til 2017. He wasn't able to play himself in the picture this preseason, and this is the solution they've come up with.

Why would he need to pressure Lubeck? He was never officially signed by the club because he was under 18, and they would not have received comp. if he signed elsewhere. He signed with Lubeck because he felt loyalty towards them for letting him train there for almost 2 years as an under-aged player.

Crappy. Best of luck with his recovery.

Steven Vitoria signed at Lechia Gdansk 

 

[hamiltonfan]

Nice landing spot for Vitoria. Not an expert on the Polish league (here comes the MLS vs Polish league debate) but the level of play is quality and Lechia Gdansk are a solid club.

[Obinna]

As I mentioned in the Vitoria thread, they finished 5th last year and there are other internationals at the club, so at first glance it looks to be a solid move.

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

Either because he's tired of being the 3rd choice keeper at AIK or because his wife is Norwegian and wants to go back to Norway, Kenny is spending some time there, including a trial at Lilleström SK.
