Our second piece of good news in as many days as the team announced that Axel Sjoberg has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club at least through 2020 with a club option for 2021. This is a great building block for the next few years with the only possible concern being that Sjoberg seems a bit injury-prone.
Two other pieces of information about Aigner came out today as well. First, according to Jeff Carlisle Aigner will be a TAM-level player after this season. This gives up an idea of what his contract will be as his pro-rated salary for this year is apparently not at TAM level. That probably means Aigner is going to be getting 500K-750K a year. This is a big number to commit to for 3.5 years at a position where you have somebody a year younger already under a DP contract (Gashi).
This is offset by this article buy Bundesliga reporter Manuel Veth who goes into what happened last year at 1860 Munich. It explains why Aigner moved from the Bundesliga to the 2nd Bundesliga before last season as a way to help the club that he played at as a youth and why he now wants to leave not only the club but the Bundesliga all-together. Obviously this is all talk and what matters is how he plays on the field for the Rapids but this at least allays some of my concerns about his level and what he's trying to accomplish with his career. If he can play like he did in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt we may have gotten a steal.
