Hamburger SV watching Philipp Ulmer
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Mattersburg have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Raphael Weimann beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Words at Mattersburg training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andreas Schlager is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
