Last year, Büscher trialled with a bigger Regionalliga (4th tier) club, Rot Weiss Essen, shortly before he signed with us last season. His new club, Tus Haltern, is a smaller club at this level. They were just promoted last season and are currently sitting just above the relegation zone.
I also rated him highly with us last season but I'm not too surprised this is the level he's ended up at. When you think of our other imports, i.e. Mavila, Brown, Minatel, even Malonga, they came to us from similar levels. At the same time I think he's definitely capable of being an impactful player at a higher level. But it's important to note in that article that he'll also be working as a trainee in an advertising agency so it sounds like a career off the pitch was also a consideration.
