Day 2

Bayern Munich’s Indian-origin midfielder Sarpreet Singh was keen on a move to India and made inquiries, but his salary expectation of USD 3 million (approx. Rs 22.5 crore) was way beyond anyone’s budget in ISL.#IndianFootball #Transfers #Secrets

Complete BS I'd bet several rupees on.
Had two 0-3 home losses, but also a 3-0 win on the road, amongst those games.
5 pts off relegation spots, and 8 pts off promotion playoff spots.
Only 3 rounds to go (will then be league halfway point) until combined WC/mid winter break of 2.5 months! Season will resume 28th January.
Singh should do a short guest stint at the Nix to get match fit, if he has recovered from his injury! But imagine JR will head to warmer climes of Middle East or Southern Spain for some sort of camp early Jan.

Last round of Bundesliga 2, before the WC/winter break. League to resume for JR 28th Jan next year. By then Singh should be available.
Short trip to NZ on the cards? Catch a Nix game?

Jahn goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic spoke of a "good start. It was nice to see the boys again and to have the ball in our hands and on our feet again."
Offensive player Sarpreet Singh also spoke of "a lot of fun and a lot of energy" in the first training session back on the pitch. He spent his free time in his native New Zealand with family and friends. Now he is "very happy" to be back: "I can't wait to get started."
There's also a brief post-match interview, in case anyone wants to hear Sarpreet spricht ein bisschen Deutsch, and some slight Denglisch when necessary.
I'll attempt translation, if nothing else, just to practice my German. Won't be perfect, especially with the interviewer's accent/speed.
Interviewer: What are your conclusions on today's friendly?
Sarpreet: Yeah, was good, first friendly. We had a long break, so, yeah, it was good. Everyone played, 0-0 is okay. We want to win, but for first friendly it is good.
Interviewer: You came on at halftime, how much fun was it? It looked like you had a lot of fun being back on the pitch.
Sarpreet: Yeah, it was real fun, I only want to play football and finally I am allowed to play so it is good and I had fun. I can do better, of course, but in the next weeks it keeps going.
Interviewer: After such a long time, did you quickly feel comfortable after coming in?
Sarpreet: Yeah, I worked very well in the last months, when I can't play, so I was ready, and, yeah of course, I need match practice, so, yeah, it was good for me today, and also next week and until the season starts.
Interviewer: It was often close to the goal, and in the last action could have possibly scored. What is your view on having more chances and possibly scoring a goal? [or something similar]
Sarpreet: Yeah, I believe a bit more people in the box, in the 16er [box]. We create chances, but no one's on the end of it. I think we need more people in the box, and, yeah, we must work to make more shots, then I think it'll come again.

Be great if he came down to NZ for the rumoured China friendlies in March. But wouldn't surprise if he didn't especially if J-R are struggling to avoid relegation. It's a long flight from Europe, and sounds like if was in NZ for Xmas.
Hopefully he hits the ground with Liga 2 restarting this weekend
It’s been a long time, much longer than it should have been, but that wait is almost over. Sarpreet Singh last played a competitive game of football on 2 April 2022 before a painful dose of pelvic inflammation ruled him out for the rest of that season and beyond... realistically he already hadn’t been the same for a couple of months at that stage while he tried to play through the hurt. 2022 was a year to forget for Sadi.

Didn't take him long to get his starting spot back now did it? 🙏
But great start with Singh the assist at 2 mins for a 1-0 lead. 50 mins in and is 1-1
Edit - sadly JR lose 1-3. Singh off at 87 mins at 1-2

Fans are livid, calling for the coaches head and talking about liga 3. Hopefully there's a turn around soon 🙏
Get him back playing for the AWs, and who knows the goals might suddenly start happening. AWs were scoring under Hay in those windows late 2021, before Singh got injured. He's that important now for the next 10 years.
Here ya go, have a geeze at Sarpreet Singh's assist for Jahn Regensburg on the weekend... as well as an even better one that didn't count thanks to a VAR-determined offside #FlyingKiwis pic.twitter.com/zwDZuXiliP

Dead last J-R with 14 games left to avoid relegation. Hopefully Singh goes well over this period and another Bundesliga club aka Bremen (currently looking pretty safe in 9th spot) take a look at him.
I think this must be the last year of his Bayern contract?
First JR goal since Dec 2021.
First JR goal since Dec 2021.
Sarpreet loves an early start. Assist and goal inside first 15 recently.

13 games left, bottom 2 teams automatically relegated.

He also had a teammate hit the post in the first half, whereas Karlsruhe's goal came from a massive deflection that took the 'keeper out of play. That's the luck of a relegation side unfortunately.
So close, Sarpreet #FlyingKiwis pic.twitter.com/DPK1hXEPxc

They re-signed him before sending him out on loan, they obviously backing him to impress enough to be sold in the off season.
