Bananas 1,155 Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) If you look at their squad list http://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-schalke-04/startseite/verein/33 you can see that all 3 of their centre forwards are currently injured. They haven't had a centre forward since round 8. Then again, we haven't had one in the last 5 seasons! http://www.transfermarkt.com/klaas-jan-huntelaar/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/4357/plus/0?saison=2016&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id= http://www.transfermarkt.com/breel-embolo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/237662/plus/0?saison=2016&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id= http://www.transfermarkt.com/franco-di-santo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/59783/plus/0?saison=2016&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id= Edited December 19, 2016 by Bananas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Eagle 790 Posted December 21, 2016 Schalke lost against Hamburger SV yesterday. Score 2-1. Scorer was Donis (no, not our former coach) Avdijaj, a 20 year old forward of Kosova-Albanian descent. The goal was scored in the dying seconds of the game. Schalke is the current #11 with 18 points after 16 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Eagle 790 Posted December 27, 2016 Schalke is close at contracting Pierre-Michel Lasogga for the rest of the season on loanbasis. Lasogga is currently playing for Hamburger SV. He should fill in their lack of forwards due to injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Eagle 790 Posted January 10, 2017 And Schalke just won a friendly match against Belgian side Oostende. Oostende opened the score and got a player sent of with red. After that Schalke scored twice to win the game 2-1. The first goal was from Avdijaj or Goretzka (different names on different apps) and the winning by Konopliyanka.

pash 1,460 Posted January 10, 2017 It seems Konopliyanka has been playing more often lately. Bad for us that he's no longer on the outs with their manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pash 1,460 Posted February 11, 2017 Schalke beat Hertha Berlin 2-0 at home today. Unfortunately for us, Jans-Klaas Huntelaar made his first appearance in three months...although the game ended five seconds after he entered. Just our luck that he's back in action just as we play them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
