CryptoN Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Aston Villa scouts watching Augsburg's German international winger Andre Hahn Aston Villa are on the trail of Augsburg’s Andre Hahn with Villa's scouts watching the 23-year-old winger in action last week at Schalke. Hahn, who has netted 10 times this season, was called into the senior Germany squad for their friendly against Chile. The midfielder’s strong and powerful running has caught boss Paul Lambert's eye.

samjp26 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Interesting link indeed - would be a good option to have battling with Weimann for that right sided striker role Edited March 23, 2014 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 He'll go to Man Utd. Not a chance. Best bet would be a move to another German team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Been in great form for Augsburg this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 He suits the Lambert philosophy to a tee, especially with the €2.25m or €2.5m release clause (or whatever it is). I think he will go to Leverkusen though, speaking of which.. that volley.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBejivH02_g Go to around the 30 second mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) As Samjp26 has already alluded to, he is reported to have an extremely low release-clause. The competition for his signature will therefore be intense you'd think. Edited March 23, 2014 by Isa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 It is also common for players to be snapped up in Germany by the 'bigger clubs', he'll probably move on to Leverkusen or Schalke and if he does well there move on up to Dortmund or Bayern Munich. Who knows though, I did see something about his release clause potentially expiring this month so maybe any move would have to be secured before the end of the season? If that can actually happen outside of Germany, I'm not entirely sure. Would be a great signing based on this season though, but as Isa says, probably unlikely that he'd come to us over the German teams that are seemingly in for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Leverkusen are a good shout given that they are losing Sidney Sam (again for a ridiculously low price). Edited March 23, 2014 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We do have a lot to offer, though. We have a manager who speaks German, Premier League football to offer, a world class training ground, a very tight knit up and coming hard working squad, and probably wages on par with the "next level" German clubs. We beat out a lot of other clubs to Okore's signature, so you never know what could happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Leverkusen are a good shout given that they are losing Sidney Sam (again for a ridiculously low price). Yeah that is pretty much my thinking, I think the fee they're losing Sam for is similar, German contracts seem to be seriously **** up. Freiburg have some great young talents, maybe we could go picking there. Kruse went for a similar price tag as Sam and Hahn have from there so I'd imagine they'd be a fair few more in a similar bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, the fact that he is German makes me think he'd want to stay in Germany for a bit longer in order to break into their international setup properly. It is nice to be linked with him though!

theboyangel Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Not a bad link and pleasing to see we're scouting Germany - I really like the looks of Firmino (Hoffenheim), Inui (Frankfurt) and Muller (Mainz) who all play in that same attacking midfielder/secondry striker position 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow European football so I have no idea who this guy is, but has the learned poster said above, I can see lots reasons why a young player would find our club an attractive offer.

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well Toni Kroos is interested in playing in the Prem, so why not this guy. Sell N'Zog, and this is the kind of player we should be looking at, young, up and coming, not quite good enough for the CL, but might be.A Rodriguez kind of player if you like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 This is the kind of names and player profiles this summer should be all about. Exciting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) This is the type of links (and hopefully signing) i want see from Villa... There is so much talent at bargain prices in German and many with low release clauses. Hopefully we get this done!!! rather this guy over 33 year old Wes Hoolahan. Bags of potential and would be a great fit for our side! Edited March 24, 2014 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This sounds like a load of balls. If he had a release clause of 2 mill why did Lambert go after a 33 year old Norwich player instead in the last window. Also I would be very surprised if he came here. Lambert speaking German isnt much of a reason imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
