En ung, høy, duellsterk og ballsikker tysker med en herlig pasningsfot som er vant med knallhard trening og er landslagsspiller for Tyskland. Enormt! Digga White og håpet i det lengste på han. Men dette er minst en hylle over!
At Leeds signerer en Tysk og en Spansk landslagspiller på samme dag er helt vilt!

When Robin Koch flew into Yeadon on Saturday, tracked all the way by diligent to the point of obsessive Leeds fans, he completed a story arc that began in Victor Orta’s office on January 31.
By Graham Smyth Sunday, 30th August 2020, 5:40 am
When he was photographed, by a Leeds fan, entering Thorpe Park Clinic for his medical, he had all-but closed the chapter of the Elland Road story dedicated to the man he has replaced.
When he was filmed, by a Leeds fan, walking into the stadium to sign the paperwork and pose in an Adidas home shirt, he became a part of Marcelo Bielsa's Premier League squad.
The German defender has been signed to take the place of last season’s Young Player of the Year and YEP Player of the Season, Ben White, who Brighton refused to sell to the Whites.
What Leeds are getting, with their new defender, is not a carbon copy or like-for-like replacement for White, but Orta knows exactly what he has spent a sum of around €13m on.
Almost seven months ago the director of football sat down at Elland Road with the YEP to talk about Jean-Kevin Augustin, the one that hasn’t yet got away, despite there being no future for him at the club.
The conversation centred around scouting and Orta was only too happy to share details of the sheer scale of his database, containing a little over 8,000 reports.
In an effort to show the variety of the reports on file, he pulled up a page on a Mansfield Town game, then flicked to his dossier onSC Freiburg’s Koch.
It is unusual that a club official would speak about a potential transfer target on the record, but with a little under half a season still to play in England’s second tier and promotion far from a certainty, Koch wasn’t yet a viable option, he was on the wishlist.
Orta explained that the work of his department is to find players who are suitable for the club’s current reality and players suitable for the possible future realities. Bringing Koch, a twice-capped German international, to the Championship was just not going to happen.
So shortly after Emile Smith Rowe scored Huddersfield Town’s second goal at home to West Brom on July 17 to guarantee Leeds a place in the Premier League, Orta was cavorting on the Elland Road pitch and dreaming of the places he would go and the players he would bring back with him.
Last week Orta was in Valencia, negotiating for record buy Rodrigo and successfully pulling off a deal that took a lot of pestering and chasing to complete, even after it was agreed in principle.
There appeared to be no such issues with his next signing, who said goodbye to his team-mates on Friday afternoon and alerted Leeds fans to his travel plans with an Instagram picture in a jet on Saturday morning.
So who is this man who was followed through the air on FlightRadar by transfer spotters?
Firstly, he’s good in the air. Very good. Far more dominant than White was, in fact.
He ranked third in the Bundesliga last season for aerial duels won with 139 – 16 of which came in a single league game against Union Berlin.
That prowess, off the ground, brought a pair of headed goals for Freiburg.
On the ground, he didn’t make as many interceptions as White, per game, but he passed the ball well, with an 89 per cent accuracy from open play, and passed it further than any of his team-mates, clocking up 31.226 yards.
And while his profile is closer to a defensively solid passer in Liam Cooper than a dribbling-out-of-defence White, the new boy has featured in central and defensive midfield for more than 50 per cent of his match minutes since 2017/18.
That experience playing higher up the pitch and his versatility – quickly becoming the watchword of this Marcelo Bielsa squad – are key to his arrival in Leeds.
A right-footed partner for the left-footed Cooper, versed in top-flight football, albeit in Germany, who can head it, pass it and tackle – he won 34 of them last season and was victorious in 69.5 per cent of his defensive duels, Koch is a signing made possible by promotion and by the end of the White saga.
The comparisons between the two and a largely pointless debate about who is better will go on long into next season and beyond, but the one with no top tier experience or international caps who would have cost in excess of £25m-plus is not here and Koch is.
Premier League status made this signing possible and the division will provide the proving ground for his suitability.
We know how he got here and we know why. How it all ends for him and for Leeds will be even more fascinating.

Mateusz Klich helped Robin Koch with his homework before the German defender made the decision to move to Leeds United, but he knows he must discover for himself just how tough Marcelo Bielsa's Thorp Arch training is.
By Graham Smyth Saturday, 29th August 2020, 7:58 pm
Koch, who penned a four-year contact today in a move from SC Freiburg that set Leeds back a sum of around €13m, was team-mates with Leeds' Polish midfielder Klich when the pair were at FC Kaiserslautern.
They kept in touch and the subject of conversation of late has been exclusively Elland Road related.
Klich, like a good club man, talked Leeds United and Bielsa up. But he didn't sugarcoat anything.
"I asked him how is Leeds, how is the coach and training, I asked him nearly everything and he could answer every question," said Leeds' brand new centre-half, signed the same day as striker Rodrigo from Valencia.
"He says it's a very special club, the coach is really good. I'd heard people only say good things about [Bielsa] before. But I wanted to hear from a player who had been here. I had good information. Mateusz told me training is really brutal. Maybe it's similar to Freiburg, every time in training we were on the limit, even in the games. The coach Christian Streich is also a friend of hard work so maybe it's similar, I will see. I feel ready."
Rodrigo had a couple of weeks to wrap his head around a move to Leeds but Koch has been mulling it over a lot longer.
He says he's been aware of the club's interest for six months or more - Victor Orta spoke about him in a YEP interview as a potential transfer target back in January - and the club ensured he was fully briefed on what they needed from him and why they believed they could get it.
"It was maybe half a year or maybe more," said Koch.
"In time I got more and more details, with a presentation of games from Leeds, of my games, how to play as a central defender here in Leeds. I felt more and more interest from Leeds and had a lot of talks with Victor Orta.
"We had a lot of contact and videos of Leeds games from last season and my games at Freiburg. A lot of tactical things we've talked about. Most was in the form of presentation, how Leeds plays football and how it fits to my style.
"I didn't speak directly with him [Bielsa] but he sent me a lot of videos of the way he plays. I've talked to some players about him. It was more and more easy for me to make the decision."
Everything else that comes with Leeds United, the history and the club's stature, was something Koch was already well aware of, however.
Their reputation precedes them, thanks to that history, their European adventures in the Don Revie days, an Amazon documentary and social media.
"Most of the time [I heard about them] from my dad and some of the older generation," said Koch.
"Everyone knows in that generation that Leeds is a huge club. I watched the Amazon series and you get a feeling of how big this club is, with all the fans in the background. I got a feeling for this club and even on social media, every day since I don't know, one or two months ago, I've had like 20 messages each day, are you coming to Leeds, come to Leeds. It was great for me."
Armed with a feel and a sense for the club's past and where they want to be headed, Koch is excited to get started. First comes national duty - he flies out tomorrow to join up with the German senior squad for games against Spain and Switzerland. After that, he's got his eyes on the Premier League and its champions.
"I'm just very happy. Everything is clear now. It's one of the biggest leagues in the world. Wherever you go on holiday everyone knows the Premier League. Now to play with Leeds in the PL is a big dream. First game against Liverpool.
"Liverpool in the first game of the season is a huge game. I look forward to this game."

“Robin has made a great development with us in the past three years. He was never impressed by external factors and it was a pleasure to work with him on and off the field,” Saier stated. “His contract would have expired in ten months, so we have now found a good solution together by moving to the Premier League. We wish Robin all the best at Leeds United.”

Utrolige langpasninger som du skriver fra den karen ja. Og fra pressede situasjoner også. Kommer godt med til ny sesong hvor presset mot de i bakre rekke vil bli mye større og at man da er avhengig av at de henger med. Stille meg litt mer tvilende til hvordan vår kaptein vil takle dette, men han må få en sjanse til å motbevise tvilerne. :)

Llorente er den mest relevante da , selv om han nå blir kastet inn i dette uten de "nødvendige" U- 23 kampene som ballast.
Vi må i hvert fall få inn kreativitet fra midten og fremover igjen mot West Ham, og det skal la seg gjøre ..de er ett par knepp ned fra Sjelcski... ;)

Robin Koch is too cool for relegation
Written by: Rob Conlon January 21, 2022
Robin Koch looking cool for Leeds, Diego Llorente looking on in the background
Let’s get the big news out of the way. Stop panicking. Leeds United aren’t getting relegated this season. Robin Koch says so.
Interviewed by Adam Pope on BBC Radio Leeds this week, Koch was so laid back it sounded like he was speaking from a chaise lounge. “For me personally, I don’t fear relegation,” he said. “I’m looking forward, and I’ll be confident and positive enough to say that we don’t go down and we will get enough points to stay in the league. We did well with two wins in the league, but this has to be the start and we have to keep going.”
Koch could be excused for feeling a little more pessimistic than this. After starting in the defeat we don’t want to talk about on the opening day of the season, he suffered his second serious injury since joining Leeds. His first was in the opening game of last season, injuring his knee on his debut at Liverpool. Koch played through the pain until December, when he eventually gave in to surgery and missed the next three months, by which point Diego Llorente had established himself in the team after his own fitness problems. This season Koch was ruled out immediately after the Scum defeat and again tried to avoid surgery, before going under the knife to fix what Marcelo Bielsa seemed to enjoy describing as a “rebellious pubis”. While Moscow and Michael were arguing about the meaning of ‘perpetually injured’ on The Square Ball podcast, Koch was watching from the sidelines as Leeds won only three of sixteen in the Premier League in his absence. Plenty of fans were contemplating the frightening prospect of relegation, but Koch is far too cool to let form or fitness get him down. Being positive “is just part of my personality.”
“For every player it’s not easy to get a long term injury,” he says. “I’ve had two of them. So it wasn’t the easiest time, but I had to be positive as well and imagine my comeback every time. I tried to work hard every day for this comeback. So I’m really happy to be in this position now, and happy to play again.”
Rehabbing alongside Adam Forshaw helped Koch, who put his time in the treatment room into perspective by looking at Adam, waiting over 700 days between league appearances. This aspect of Forshaw’s recovery could be overlooked, the inspiration and hope his superb form since returning must provide for other injured players at the club, whether they’re an experienced Germany international like Koch or a young player desperate to kickstart their career like Ian Poveda.
Apart from his comeback appearance at centre-back against Arsenal, Koch has been playing alongside Forshaw in midfield rather than his more natural position in defence. It’s a role he tried towards the end of last season, starting there for the first time in a Leeds shirt in the dismal defeat to Brighton before helping the side wipe the floor with Tottenham from the same position a week later. There are signs he is improving in the part this season, and he sounds particularly enthused when Popey mentions he looked more creative in the win over West Ham.
“It’s not quite a completely new position for me. Of course, it’s a bit different to my position as a centre-back, but I played it at my old club lots of times and even some games for the national team in the midfield. It’s for me more about getting fit and back from injury. It was a bit different, but it’s a good challenge for me personally. And I think it’s going well.
“I would say [my ability on the ball] is one of my qualities. It doesn’t matter whether I play centre-back or defensive midfield to start the building up from defence or the back of midfield.”
Earlier this week German outlet Sport 1 reported national team manager Hansi Flick has been in contact with Koch throughout his recovery, even though Koch is yet to play for his country under the new coach, who replaced Jogi Low after the European Championships in the summer. The article says Flick values Koch’s ‘variability and reliability’ as well as his ‘personality’, a big compliment from a manager who won a treble with Bayern Munich, even if they still won’t give back the European Cup they stole from Leeds in 1975.
“It’s important now to play some games and put more performances on the pitch again, then we see how it goes with the national team,” says Robin. “It’s a big target for me to get back into the national team. [We didn’t speak] about the position he’d like me to play, but we’ve been in contact during my injury. He asked how it’s going, and then after my surgery as well. It’s good to be in contact, and with the other coaches and the medical staff from Germany. It gives you a good feeling when you are injured and out for a long time to be contacted by the national team.”
After so many frustrations in his first eighteen months at Leeds, things are finally starting to go right for Koch. The 3-1 win over Burnley was the first time he experienced winning in front of a packed Elland Road, and friends and family have now been able to visit Leeds to see him play. After moving to England during the pandemic, while the country was in and out of lockdown and ever-changing Covid restrictions, he is now getting to explore Leeds properly for the first time. “With all the Covid stuff it wasn’t too easy to enjoy Leeds in the beginning. Now I’m enjoying living in Leeds, and playing for Leeds even more.”
Anyone who takes a look at Koch’s Instagram profile will notice he has fit right into a squad of players that might just be one of the coolest in Leeds United’s history. He’s got the haircut, moustache and retro football gear to rival Mateusz Klich as the club’s head hipster. Given Koch’s current position, it might not be long before Leeds are starting a central midfield partnership wearing New Yorker tote bags on their shoulders. Unsurprisingly, Koch names Klich as the teammate he is closest to. Mateusz speaks German, and they previously spent a season together at Kaiserslautern, although Robin was still a young player in the reserve team, so they only played together twice.
Koch insists the whole squad is full of “good people” that gave him “a really, really warm welcome from my start here.” But there are some cultural differences he needs to resolve with Patrick Bamford.
“Pat has been complaining about the bread in Germany, it makes me angry. I need to bring him German bread. He was one time in Germany, he ate the German bread and says it’s not good. I say, ‘I don’t know where you’ve been, but the German bread is good, so I’ll bring you some.’ I can try to go to Germany soon, maybe for a day, and then I’ll bring in some fresh German bread.”
Thankfully this isn’t a repeat of Felix Wiedwald feeling homesick, unable to find good bratwurst in West Yorkshire, more a cultural tiff between two friends. It may have taken longer than we all hoped, but Robin Koch is starting to feel at home in Leeds and Leeds United is all the cooler for it, coming closer every day to a full squad riot in an artisanal bakery. ⬢

Koch happy at Leeds
Leeds United defender Robin Koch has revealed he is ‘super comfortable’ at the club and is already setting targets for next season. Koch helped the Whites secure survival on the final day of the campaign with a 2-1 win over Brentford at the weekend.
Reports circulated around a month ago that Leeds could be willing to listen to offers for Koch this summer, though his performances in the run-in may have put a stop to that. Speaking in an interview with Bild, Koch discussed his happiness at Elland Road and is hoping to have a ‘more successful’ season next year.
He said: “I feel super comfortable in the city and at the club and have a contract here. When I joined Leeds we had a project in mind, a journey that is not over for us as a team.
“If you have to fight until the last minute, it’s even nicer when you achieved the goal. Staying in the league is hugely important for all of us, but we know there’s a lot more to this team. We want to prove that next season and be in other regions of the table again.
“My personal goal is also to be a strong team in the Premier League with Leeds and to have a more successful season overall with my teammates.”

💬 "Off last year, Liam and Diego. But Robin has emerged as an incredible player and maybe our best player in five games. He's now really inserted himself into the future in a good way. Pascal much better than we hoped." - Jesse Marsch when asked who his preferred CB pairing is.

🆕 Robin Koch's representatives are currently in talks with Leeds United over a contract renewal at Elland Road, the player says. Deal unlikely to be signed until the summer, though. Koch also 'convinced' #LUFC won't be relegated.

Big Sam dro frem Koch som en av tre som virkelig ga jernet og tok tak når klubben slet. Tilstanden i klubben er kanskje hovedårsaken til at spillerne ikke presterer på sitt beste?
Uansett. Koch kan takke av med rak rygg og hevet hode.

Defender makes loan move.
Leeds United defender Robin Koch has today joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season.
The 26-year-old joined the club back in the summer of 2020 from SC Freiburg, going on to make 77 appearances in all competitions, for the Whites over the past three seasons.
The Germany international now returns to the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.
We wish Robin all the best during his time at Deutsche Bank Park.

Hallgeir, må bare innrømme at du har rett…
Har egentlig tenkt lenge på å foreslå at vi endrer trådtittel til "Utlånt spiller" Robin Koch, pluss de andre det også gjelder.
Kunne det vært et alternativ? Synes at det ser mer ryddig og oversiktlig ut da.

Utlån i år og går gratis neste sommer - Tror nok ex står seg bra..

Eg kan ikkje seie at Koch er blant dei Leedsspelarane som eg kjem til å sakne stort, men syns drittslenging frå supporterar mot han og andre noverande og tidlegare Leeds-spelarar er skammeleg. Det gjeld forsåvidt Radrizzani også, som eg tenkjer å kommentere i ein meir passande tråd.

Tenker på hvilken mottakelse de da vil få av supportere om vi rykker opp neste sesong.
Skrevet av: Dennis på Juli 07, 2023, 10:02:36
Koch blir trukket fram som en av spillerne som stod fram mot slutten av sesongen, men han fremstår uansett som en skuffelse i mine øyne. Ble kjøpt som tysk landslagsstopper og forsvinner mer eller mindre gratis etter et nedrykk.
Uansett er det en hard restart i Leeds om dagen, så greit å få avklart hvilke som ikke ønsker å være her lenger så raskt som mulig. Forhåpentligvis blir det snart offentliggjort med Llorente og Kristensen også.

BILD, though, say that according to their information, Eintracht have actually paid around €500,000 for the loan and had to ‘take over’ the defender’s salary from Leeds as well.
Why they would pay such a figure for a loan, particularly when Koch’s contract expires next summer, isn’t made clear but our suggestion would be that they have paid the figure to secure his long-term future and avoid a fight next summer when his deal expires.
