The Interview: Just Football meets Jonathan Pitroipa is a post from: Just Football

Jonathan Pitroipa's transfer to Rennes in Summer 2011 immediately looked a very shrewd piece of business when the Burkina Faso international took to Ligue 1 like a duck to water, instantly endearing himself to supporters with his dazzling pace and trickery down both flanks and a hugely welcome, late, point-rescuing goal against Paris-Saint Germain in a 1-1 draw early in the season.

The name Papiss Demba Cisse appeared very briefly in the summer in connection with a possible move to Spurs before the rumour went away as quickly as it had appeared.

Cisse plays for Freiburg in the German Bundesliga and unlike Seydou Doumbia for example, he isn't playing Champions League football and as such, he has largely fallen under the rumour mill radar.

Timothy Chandler and Nurnberg are in desperate need of a win against bottom team Freiburg while Edson Buddle and Ingolstadt will try to pull out of the bottom three when they visit Karlsruhe.

German-American defender Daniel Williams has joined Hoffenheim on a transfer from SC Freiburg with a two-year contract, and is expected to bolster the team's defense in their third Bundesliga campaign.

The transfer madness continues ahead of Wednesday's European deadline, and it's already involving potential future U.S. national team call-ups.

German-American defender Daniel Williams is the latest to switch teams after he moved from SC Freiburg to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on a three-year deal, according to reports from Germany.

Brazilian midfielder Wesley put the finishing touch on Werder Bremen's 5-3 win over Freiburg on Saturday. It was only his second Bundesliga goal, so he decided to keep a memory of this rare occasion.

n these late stages of the transfer window it's rare to see any new names linked with Spurs and stories over the last two days have largely involved proposed moves for Diarra, Adebayor, Samba and Cahill.

So it was interesting to look at the credentials of Papiss Cisse, a 26 year old, Senegalese striker currently playing his football in Germany with SC Freiburg.

In Köln geht es drunter und drüber: Die Saison begann schlecht, doch dann übernahm Frank Schaefer – bis dato Trainer der U23 – die Mannschaft von Zvonimir Soldo, der Erfolg kam zurück und der Klassenerhalt schien schon bewältigt. Doch nach drei Niederlangen in Folge befinden sich die Kölner nun wieder inmitten des Abstiegskampfes – Platz 14 drei Spieltage vor Schluss und von den Abstiegsrängen trennen den Traditionsverein nur noch drei Punkte.
