“With Peter Niemeyer we have managed to capture yet another talented German player. He gives the impression of being a very bright youngster and possesses fantastic ability”, explained a very satisfied Klaus Allofs after the deal had been completed. Coach Thomas Schaaf added: “Peter Niemeyer excelled as a defensive midfielder and also as a central defender at Twente. We hope to further extend his development here in Bremen.”
