Klaus Allofs is planning on staying true to Werder’s internal policies. At the press conference in connection with the Green-Whites season start, Werder’s general manager explained that he will be, as he has in the past, approaching the transfer market calmly, sensibly and in calculated fashion “We don’t buy players just to look at them. Of course public pressure is increasing but it’s not as easy to get the big names anymore. We want to sign players who fit in with us,” explained Allofs.

 

“The players need to be good and also affordable, if they have big names, then that’s a good thing too. We are much more interested in signing players who can become ‘real crackers’ with us - players who may not have the fans smacking their lips, but genuinely strengthen the squad. That’s the way we want to go.”

 

Klaus Allofs doesn’t believe that Werder are at any sort of disadvantage so far as experience is concerned, just because of their relatively young squad: “Our team have played in the Champions League and came second in the German championship. The players that we have are now also a year older and have learned a lot. You can’t honestly call them inexperienced.”
