Kai has gone.

Correct. I believe we signed Kai from SC Freiburg's second team, who were (and still are) in the Regionalliga Suedwest, Germany's fourth division. Sonnenhof Grossaspach play a division higher in the Dritte Liga.

 

His new club need a goal scorer- 3 wins this season and in the relegation places.

 

Looks like they're a small team at that level, with one of the smallest stadium capacities and just one top half finish in four seasons.

They are fourth from bottom in terms of average attendances, and in actual league standing (relegation zone).

 

They'll soon be climbing up the league now

 

Haha, I'll be interested to see if he gets game time.

The fact he got minutes here was due to extreme circumstances - intrigued to see if he plays/scores at that level over there. Could be very telling of the standard in 3. Liga

 

TBF I've only seen him on video, but I've been to a few games this season at a local(ish) Non League side, Heybridge Swifts ( Isthmian League North 8th tier ) and he'd struggle to get a game.

 

It was absurdly obvious after his ten minute cameo that he was nowhere near - people wanted to give it a little time, which is kind of understandable for most players, but not really in Kai's case. I've never seen a player so below the standard required that continually got game time under different managers; shows what they had to work with, really.

Lots of people have said he'd be nowhere near Halifax or Bradford Park Avenue, and I 100 % agree - no surprise to hear you say he would struggle at Heybridge, it looked like that from the first minute and never really looked any rosier for the lad.

But he legitimately tried hard, which is why I never booed the lad, nor would I ever. It wasn't his fault he got a job he simply wasn't qualified for, it happens, it's not a fault in his personality or anything so never held anything against him. Wish him good luck, but feel his new team may have slightly overestimated his ability on the basis of the number of minutes he got here.

 

Different standard, but that's why Carlton Cole will always have a place in our hearts

 

I agree.

Why it took us as long as it did to realise that, I don’t know.

He tried but hell I’d try hard enough if I was on the pitch. I’d still be crap.

 

Their next fixture is on the 26th in-case any of you are having withdrawal symptoms for Der Panzer.

 

Is it pay on the day?

 

All ticket for the unveiling of their new super striker.
Tried StubHub?

 

Looking back, you've just got to laugh.

The squad was on its knees during the transfer window, we'd been stuffed by Rotherham, Killa was on the radio pleading for reinforcements to give us a lift. McCall needed help.

After talking ourselves up as being in for 750k-rated Ipswich forward Kieffer Moore we then turned our attention to Kai Brunker.

It just summed up Rahic's reign. A pure Championship Manager (the game) and a warped fantasist. If we were genuinely in for Moore then there is no way on earth, having missed out on him, you'd then move onto Brunker or any other player from the German third tier when you are trying to sustain a promotion push, as your next target.

I don't think Abbott had anything to do with getting Brunker in at all, though Abbo did himself no favours with his stubborn defence of our activity during the transfer window when questioned at the fans forum later. "Prepared"? Yeah, right.

Thank God both have moved on.

Kai was just a pawn and thankfully nearly all fans recognised that. He was given an opportunity to play professionally and took it - as any aspiring footballer would. To try and move to a new country and settle at a club as toxic as ours must have been difficult.

He was no where near good enough for L1 but he tried his hardest and at least seems to have left with a favourable impression of the club - thankful of the opportunity he received, even though it didn't work out.

 

Today's result is no surprise after letting the heart and soul of the club go.

Worrying times.

 

Edin wouldn't have made any difference today .

 

Bump.

The squad has clearly lost the man who was the inspiration and reference point for effort and commitment. Look what's happening now he's gone.

 

Thought for one minute you was going to tell us he'd scored a hattrick yesterday, stand easy.

 

Agreed
Let’s keep this thread for any Kai goals. I’m still following him on Instagram, so will be looking out for goal celebration pictures from him soon
