Yeah it was never in doubt that he was good enough for the 2. Bundesliga, and that he'd be a good-to-great player for this level. Nuremberg horrifically misplayed him, didn't give a shark about him settling in, and didn't utilise any of his strengths. I expected a very productive season, but 1 goal and 4 assists in 4 games is an unreal start for the kid

Still the main thing is to be a reliable player across a whole season. But he’s a player who needs to be involved IMO and definitely seems to be at the moment. Happy (stoked) he’s got off to a good start, but do feel the tests are yet to come as someone said. I’m also watching the goal celebrations to see how the team appreciate him and it seems like there is some work to do there too.

And another game where he contributes a goal or an assist. This time it's the former as he grabs his sides 4th. Regensburg romping to victory - 4-1 late in the piece.
4 games 2 goals 3 assists (1st in league) 15 key passes (2nd in league) 15 tackle attempts (6th in league) Best player in the league according to Whoscored (8.22), second best according to Sofascore (7.90)

Damn that’s impressive. Having not paid any attention over the years I still feel like Schalke are a champions league level team! Potentially no longer true lol, but still a great result.
Great to see him playing with confidence in a team that backs his abilities (although primarily playing left wing/wide left attacking mid). Seen the last 2 games now, he certainly doesn't stand out but does everything perfectly when needed. He also seems to have bulked up and doesn't get pushed off the ball easily anymore.

They are playing a 4-2-2-2, so it is probably more like a wide #10 à la Davila?
Listening to the Talking Fussball podcast and they had an item on Regensburg. One of the contributors noted that a great deal of the praise goes to Sarpreet's performances, noting "he's been at the pinpoint of most of their assists, just a wonderfully gifted player and has a crazy foot on him."
I don't recall this ever being announced anywhere but last season All Whites midfielder Sarpreet Singh signed a one-year contract extension with Bayern Munich.

That's great news for the NIX - less likely to leave for a free so hopefully will be sold on in the Jan window, if not at the end of the year where we (the NIX) can get a slice of the pie.
Wold love for him to make it at Bayern, but if not, I hope he goes for a pretty sum and the NIX do well out of it.

It’s smart business, no point losing him for free, I reckon he’ll be sold end of this season
How did we not hear about a contract extension with BM??? That should have been massive news, it's not like he was re-signed by a third division Spanish club!

We'd only know if Bayern or Singh said something publicly - not sure a player of Singh's role at Bayern would rate overly highly for a contract extension announcement.
Fair enough, but it might have been in his best interest to publicise the move. His agent could have picked up the phone and called AV or Rollo, that would have resulted in a nice little buzz. Anyway, glad he's doing well - may that long continue! A promotion to the Bundeliga would be amazing!

yeah, was almost functioning as a left striker at times which was strange. overall, a poor game from him - hardly ever got the ball, and my word, the boos from Nürnberg fans were immense every time he did.
Looked like it may have psyched him out a bit, he was noticeably a little flustered. He tried a few tricks and fancy moves to shut the crowd up, but due to Nürnberg’s extremely (probably illegally) physical playstyle he ended up on the floor more often than not. Rest of the team had similar issues, Nürnberg were playing rugby out there
Jahn Regensburg stay top. They had a 2nd goal denied by VAR (handball). Ao Tanaka who played for Japan U23 against the Olywhites in Tokyo QF, with 90 mins for Düsseldorf.
Nürnberg now 2nd, a point back. But tight at the top so early in the Liga 2 season.
A bit invisible the last few games. I've noticed Regsenberg are playing hoofball a lot, and I believe that's partly the reason. Aerial work is not Singhs strength.
