"Christian Vander perfectly fits our job discription", glowed general manager Klaus Allofs about the signing. "He's a German keeper with Bundesliga experience but not yet at the end of his career", explained Allofs. Trainer Thomas Schaaf described his expectations from the 24 year old. "We need someone who's brave, ready to prove himself and can intigrate". There is no set pecking order among the keepers. "If he does well he could easily become number one keeper", explained Schaaf.
Christian Vander began his professional career in the second Bundesliga at KFC Uerdingen. He has been at Bochum since 2000 and was a member of the 2003/2004 side which directly qualified for the UEFA cup. He has played 19 Bundesliga games so far.
