• Unfortunately, we are slowly losing all the “faces” that stood for the double-winning season. But maybe that’s exactly the goal, or as R. Wagner once said: “Kids, create something new!”
• “Slowly” is putting it mildly. On Saturday, only two double-season players will still be in the starting eleven. On the bench then at most 3–5:Lomb, whom I’d leave out a bitAndrich, who has been sidelinedTellaArthurHofmann, who is just running down his contract
• Of more than 20 double-season squad players, only 7 are still in the squad. A dream came true: German champions SVB!
• Hopefully with a high sell-on percentage. The fee is unfortunately justified given his injury proneness. If he really takes off, it would be nice to profit afterward.
• First away game: 12.10.96 in Karlsruhe, 1–1
• First home game: 08.11.98 against Stuttgart, 0–0
• Then it’s time for some new double winners!
• I also assume he just wanted to take the contract now and then go back home in 2 or 3 years. I no longer really see a move to a top team because of his injury proneness. With such intense tacklers, that will probably increase year by year.
• The transfer should be understandable to anyone objectively. In Wiesbaden he didn’t really miss any chance to show that he no longer belongs to the team. You could maybe smile about the photo from Newcastle, but not about Saturday. I found that disappointing.
• I think for many, he created a moment to remember in Augsburg. I saw that celebration again just yesterday evening — every time, pure ecstasy and goosebumps.
• It’s a shame to say goodbye to the next double hero through the back door instead of in front of the north stand.
• His many injuries were ultimately also partly the reason why we were able to keep him in the team for so long. He must have felt how big the competition was for his position. Meanwhile, I believe our new coach is someone who has a completely new team in mind and is willing to sort ruthlessly for that goal. Pala was only average last season and a shadow of himself the season before.
• The transfer can no longer fall through. The clubs have agreed on a fixed fee of 22.5 million euros. Information from The Athletic matches that of Kicker.
• On top of that guaranteed sum comes a package of bonus payments totaling another 7.5 million euros, so Bayer 04 could ultimately earn up to 30 million euros for the defensive midfielder, who will turn 28 in October.
• Now also the “here we go” from Fabrizio.
• Ouch, that somehow really hurts... purely emotionally, of course (can one still just be emotional as a football fan?)
• I really liked watching him play. His championship season was incredible. Last season it flashed up once more against Arsenal in the home match. But unfortunately you only saw that rarely.
• Too bad that in the end it’s only just under 30 million. I think not so long ago you would have gotten at least 50 for him.
• Hopefully with a high sell-on percentage. According to Romano, 10%.
• Pity.
• Thanks for everything & all the best!
• The sale price, which feels too low, perfectly reflects that Palacios may feel like a player of high international class — but in practice, because of his frequent injuries, he has to be placed one tier lower.
• However, an injury-free Palacios also wouldn’t have stayed with us for... 6?... years.
• Take care, lad. It’s a shame that the well-deserved next step is basically just a move down to Ipswich. You deserved European competition and/or better weather.
• A bit exaggerated, isn’t it, for a player who was/is at his first foreign club for 6 years? It’s only natural that fans stay longer than players do. And 6 years is really a lot.
• I was glad Palacios was here. I loved his passion on the pitch. He leaves as part of a legendary team.
• Thanks, LEGEND!!!
• Once a lion, always a lion!
• I don’t want to be picky, but the place is called Ipswich. Nobody switches IP addresses there!
• Wow, you’re picky!
• The fighter in our Team of the Century! Thank you for everything, Pala! I will miss you, you deserved more than this third-class Premier League club!
• Does he even know where he’s signing?
• At a club that pays more money.
• I also thought he had greater ambitions after us. But the problem is his susceptibility to injuries. That’s why no bigger club approached him. Maybe he’ll have a strong season in England and then move on straight away. We wish him that.
• Forever immortal and a legend. Thanks, Pala.

Quite a lot about his injuries. I think we'll just have to accept that as par for the course and play him when we can, hope he can put a few runs of games together and hit form. |  |

I think if the roles were reversed we would be saying the same. They played CL last season. We've only just been promoted back to the top flight. |  | | |
