SV Werder Bremen

At some point, the national team is going to have to look at him and see if there is a role for him within that group.

Hell, who doesn't need a target man who you can pull off the bench and score a goal? Werder Bremen is making it happen every single week here, it seems like.

Yes, Fulcrook is 33 years old.

Yes, he is not the future of German football.

He's not going to be leading the attack at the 2034 World Cup by any means, but right now he's scoring goals, and that is an important qualification for a striker, especially for a country that does not exactly have any strikers right now lighting the world afire.

Now, Fulkrug has returned to Werder Bremen.

He looks like he has rediscovered the fountain of goal-scoring youth.

He's got nine Bundesliga goals and eight appearances this year, 12 across all competitions.

They know him.

Is it Werder Bremen? They want him back, don't they? But I think along the lines, because you know, like, transfer deadline day, it was a given he was going.

But I think, I mean, this is just me presuming this was the case, but I think an option that we were going for, we couldn't get, so we couldn't afford to let him go.

And I think they want him for free as well, whereas we want something back for him.

The last time Boniface scored a goal for his club, for any club he played for, was the 2025 season.

The goal of last season, he didn't score any goal for Werder Bremen.

Unless he had scored one goal for Leverkusen this year that I don't remember by mistake.

It's not by them using you for social media banger boy that will make things make sense.

Some other news.

There is a former FC Cincinnati Academy player, Sam, 19-year-old Jykes Fields, that just made his Bundesliga debut for Hoffenheim over the weekend against Werder Bremen.

He is a German-American who previously, again, was playing for the U.S. U19s, switched over to the actual German U19s, where he's now provisionally cap-tied to them.

But Three years ago, he was playing in the GA Cup for FC Cincinnati scoring goals, and now he's in the Bundesliga.

So I think that's a positive thing.

for the league in itself um and it was a good it was a good spectacle um from from what i saw of it and and yet don't be feeling good about themselves um but yeah let's let's roll into some other saturday games i think uh you know saturday afternoon it'd be wrong for us to um not talk about you know one of the form teams at the moment in in the league which is SV Werder Bremen, who saw off TSG Hoffenheim 2-0 at the weekend at the Weserstadion.

Again, a goal for, you know, Niklas Falkrug.

Just a powerful finish from a player that is just... on cloud 9, 10 and 11.

And there's always that one team, Rory, in the Bundesliga, isn't there? And who would back it beyond being Werder at the moment to have that fairy tale season? I mean, obviously, we saw the likes of Booney Holm back in the day, always punching above the weight.

Freiburg, we don't even classify as punching above the weight anymore, being in the top six of the league.

But Bremen, it's been a long time since we saw them in Europe.

But, wow, they're playing really well.

Union Berlin.

Tied Werder Bremen.

Yeah, the Bodo L is there.

But they're making progress in Bundesliga.

They have won three and lost five of their opening eight games.

They lost 2-0 to Werder Bremen on Saturday.

They are also 23rd in the Europa League group stage.

They have one win and two defeats from their first three games.

Have you had the chance to meet her? Not yet, maybe one day.

Can you pinpoint a stage in your career when you made the biggest leap forward? I think that was especially with my transfer from Werder Bremen to Wolfsburg in 2023, because that was my first step into Champions League football.

That was a big step for me because I was at Bremen for seven or eight years, so I was leaving my comfort zone.

I was leaving everything I knew.
