    Hinkel is not a good defender...
    He is indecisive, poor in the tackle, shy's away from a high ball, not physical enough, and doesnt challenge enough for the ball, leaves centre halves exposed, and gets caught out of position up the field and cant make it back

    His crossing is erratic at best, he gets a few decent balls into the box, but only when teams double up on McGeady and he gets loads of space. and even then to say he is a brilliant crosser is a pretty big overstatement of his abilities!

    he has a long list of faults in his game.....


    As for the comment needing continuity in our team...thats the last thing we need...our defence continuing to be as * as it was last year.....our CB's have taken a lot of blame for our weak defence but Caldwell for example was left exposed by Hinkel time and again last season....not that Caldwell was the best defender in the world either but having Hinkel beside him made him look worse because it meant he had a higher work load....more wingers / midfielders cutting in on him without being challenged by Hinkel, and trying to cover for Hinkels defensive mistakes.......without ever getting much ,if any, help from Hinkel in return


    and for Hinkel in the German squad...there are a lot of fullbacks ahead of him... Lahm, Boateng, Jansen, Badstuber are 4 off the top of my head.......champs league winners, big money players..... he's dreaming!! Fact is he's a liability in defence and wont be in their squad
