Union Berlin have completed their 5th and 6th signings of the summer. Defensive midfielder Manuel Schmiedebach has signed on loan from Hannover and winger Joshua Mees has signed from Hoffenheim. Now all Union need is another right back and they should be set for pre-season and then the new season.
The squad is now:
Goalkeeper
Gikiewicz and Busk
Right back
Trimmel and Kurzweg
Centre back
Hübner, Friedrich, Torrejon and Schönheim
Left back
Reichel and Lenz
Defensive midfield
Schmiedebach and Parensen
Centre midfield
Kroos, Prömel and Zejnullahu
Right wing
Hedlund and Gogia
Left wing
Redondo and Mees
Attacking midfield
Hartel
Striker
Polter and Andersson
Other players in the squad
Dietz (defensive midfield and right back cover), Kahraman (centre midfield) and Taz (attacking midfield and winger)
Subs - Busk, Torrejon/Schönheim, Lenz/Kurzweg, Parensen, Prömel/Zejnullahu, Gogia/Mees, Antonssen
The squad may not be as strong as Köln and Hamburg but Union have the experienced Urs Fischer as Head Coach whilst Köln and Hamburg have Head Coaches with the combined experience at this level of 1 and a bit seasons. That will make a difference. (Good on Köln and Hamburg for going with the young approach though)
