In an interview with Germany’s main sporting tabloid, Knäbel also spoke on the rumors that hopes of acquiring 1. FC Union Berlin winger Tim Skarke had been dashed.
“We haven’t given up on the transfer of Tim Skarke yet,” Knäbel said, “but it’s not entirely in our hands. We still have open eyes and ears. We still have time to find an offensive player as, in my opinion, an attacker can be integrated into the squad more easily. A striker can come after a defensive player.”
The Sport Bild article quoting Knäbel also quotes Union manager Michael Parensen as saying that a loan-out for Skarke remains extremely unlikely. Paresen confirmed to the tabloid that Skarke is on his way to finding a place in head-coach Urs Fischer’s new tactical system. The FCU official explicitly stated that the club “does not wish to send Skarke away.”
