sum31uk Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned as it’s on twitter. German media reporting that Marcus Godhino has signed for German 3rd divison side FSV Zwickau. https://www.liga-drei.de/fsv-zwickau-godinho-kommt-aus-schottland/ Best of luck to the guy! Edit: I see this has already been mentioned in the transfer thread. Edited July 8, 2019 by sum31uk Saw mentioned elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The FSV Zwickau has strengthened on the defensive wing and presented to Marcus Godinho. The 22-year-old comes from the Scottish first division Heart of Midlothian and signs a contract with the "swans" until 2021. "We are delighted that we could sign a right-back with Marcus, who can be used in the back four and also in the triple chain system. He has already performed well in the Scottish 1st League and also in the Canadian A-national team and we are convinced that he will be able to prove that in the 3rd league as well, " said sporting director Toni Wachsmuth. Recently at the Gold Cup in action Godinho, who owns not only the Canadian but also the Portuguese citizenship, moved in the summer of 2016 from his home in the offspring of Hearts. After a one-year loan to the fourth-rate League Two to the Berwick Rangers, he came in the past season for Midlothian in twelve league games used. He scored one goal and prepared two more. For the Canadian national team, he ran a total of four times, three times at the end of June ended Gold Cup. The continental championship was Godinho and his country in the quarterfinals final stop. FSV coach Joe Enochs now has another alternative on the right. In the past season Morris Schröter was set there from the 13th matchday.

Hungry hippo Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I think it was definitely time to make the call and release either Brandon or Godinho. Don't think there's much between them so happy either way. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Good luck to him. Was always going to be difficult for the lad with Smith our first choice RB & also having Brandon back fit as well. Hope the move works out for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just copy my post from the other thread... The standard of the 3. Liga isn't that bad. SPFL Championship or lower Premiership I'd say. And before anyone says "And how much 3.

Just my initial uninformed opinion to the news! Knowing German football standard on the whole you are probaby correct in your comparisons.

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 A good season or so at that level, he could be picked up by a higher level German side easy. He wanted more game time which he wasn't going to get with us so fair enough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard of the game in Germany will still be pretty high and the 3. Liga is even in Fifa video games and still reasonably well thought of even if its not a club who are a household name. Some sizeable clubs in that division 1860 Munich, Hansa Rostock, Duisburg, Kaiserslautern etc Would you have thought the same had he went to Livingston, Luton, Falkirk?
