“I’ve always meant to ask you - you should try and get Schweinsteiger on loan!” [...]
“So you think I should get Schweinsteiger? Whom should he replace?”

FC St. Pauli on twitter: expert discussions at the fence
(Who needs Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Ancelotti, Conte et al when there’s Lienen?)
- [child] And you are, you were a football legend!
- [EL] What does that mea- and how would you even know, you’ve only just been born! So how do you know?
- [child] I’m nine!
- [EL] You’re nine?!
- [other child] I know, too!
- [voice off-camera] Face it, Ewald, you’re ancient.
- [child] I’m always up there! I’m up there! Sometimes I’m with the Ultras!
- [EL] So what does that mean, “a football legend”?
- [child] Someone who’s very good!
- [other child] Was very good! Someone who used to be good, in the old days!
- [EL] Used to be good in the old days... So I’m no good anymore?
- [child] Yes [you are]!
- [other child] Lienen! Lienen!
- [EL] Yes?
- [other child] Will - so Sahin is on loan, isn’t he? So will you buy him or not? Cause he’s good!
- [child] Please! And Möller Daehli, and also Bouhaddouz!
- [EL] Well, Bouhaddouz’s here already!
- [child] Right!
- [EL] He’s been given a contract.

- [EL] Sahin we could buy!
- [child] Yay! Will you? And Möller Daehli, too!
- [EL] Not Möller Daehli, not right now, it’s not that easy!

- [other child] But they don’t need him!
- [child] But! You have to try!
- [EL] I’ll pass all responsibility for that to Andreas Rettig!
- [child] I’ve always meant to ask you - you should try and get Schweinsteiger on loan!
- [EL] Schweinsteiger?
- [voice off-camera] Who’s that?!
- [EL] Do you think he’s still got it in him?
- [other child] No, he’s already on loan.
- [child] (About Lienen’s signature) Whoa, right across the picture!
- [EL] No, not on your arm, that’s just silly!
- [other child] What about here?
- [EL] Your shoes? So you all think I should get Schweinsteiger? But whom should he replace?
- [child] No, nevermind, nevermind?
- [EL] Nevermind?
- [other child] He’s too old! Better get Thomas Müller, if at all...
- [EL] You have to remember, if we-
- [other child] He’s only just gone...
- [EL] He’s just gone to Chicago.
