interview with Oberhausen boss from Jan 18:
Interview with Hans-Günter Bruns:
Coming in their place [other players who are leaving the club] would be Jamal Gay. What convinced you to make him an offer?He did his thing well in Portugal. He is the type of player we are looking for. Clearly he still has a few things to learn, but he has a lot of potential. Jamal is like a diamond in the rough, that we would like to polish. It's not for nothing that he's player on T&T's national team, one that was at the 2006 WC. Fact is: A contract is still in the works. But we still need to clarify a couple things.
By the way one hears only good things about him.Jamal is a very nice youth. He has an American guardian, who takes care of a lot of youths from T&T. And she says he is not the typical a Caribbean player. He is straight forward, open, and he has shown those qualities to us here.
The sounds good.That's true. He wants to know everything. For example he was next to me at the buffet in Portugal, and he had me explain what everything was called in German. He takes in all the information like a sponge. If the transfer to us goes through, he would like to enroll immediately in a course to learn the language.
