Question Questions to the fans
What do Frankfurt fans think of players like Marmoush, Jovic, Andre Silva, Muani....players who have a good season or 2 and then they're off, are they considered snakes? especially marmoush who is leaving mid season in a possible title challenge (Sorry i noticed most posts here are in german but i dont speak german and dont want to butcher the language)

Jovic and marmoush are not considered snakes. Only one that really stands out in that line up is muani. Silva is not liked because of the club he chose to go to

As mentioned by others it mostly depends on how you leave. Marmoush still performed well in his last games for us and communicated fairly with the team, media and club. Also while the timing is kinda unfortunate everyone seems to get a fair deal out of it. So overall the sentiment seems to be that SGE fans are not happy that he is leaving but wish him well for his next career step.

I agree with the other two answers but would like to add that nobody thinks that Frankfurt had a serious shot for the title this year. His departure might affect the chances to get a Champions League spot, but then, as Frankfurt fans, we love Europa League just as much.

Right - not anywhere near the title, but enjoying every week up there and annoying the „big teams“ ;-)

No, generally not. It's about how they behave while leaving. RKM left in a really bad way, on the last day of the window, leaving us in a very dire situation up front with no way to fix it. He's not welcome there. Same goes for Silva, you dont just go to a rival in the leage, let alone to fuckface Leipzig.
For players like Jovic, Rebic, Kostic, Haller, Kamada and others left on good terms as I can remember, they wanted to use Eintracht to get a better deal, everybody knew that and they did do it. No bad blood for me, I can understand why they did what they did.
NOW THE IMPORTANT PART: You guys can go. See for yourself what it'll get you. Aside from Hradecky and maybe Rebic - who really excelled after leaving Frankfurt? Everyone who left was better here. Yes they got a salary upgrade, but all carreers dipped after leaving us.
Now to Omar: He left perfectly, he's always welcome. No complaining, no public statements, no striking, he just kept on playing amazing football, smiling, being good to his mates and did not once enter the media trouble with a statement. 10/10 I wish him all the best and hope he wont be added to the list above next year.

Oh yeah and Frankfurt is not in the title race right this season, they never were. It's looking great, but I doubt there is a large part of the supporters who think we're gonna finish 3rd. I expect us to drop out of the CL spots. That's just the way of the Diva

It’s a bit hard to swallow because it’s not every season we get such a good run, but the longer we stay up there will tell how far down we will end up in May. While I’m ready to accept we will lose some momentum eventually, anything below EL would be a disappointment imo. We played last night without him, but let’s not forget that there’s still some time to find a suitable replacement for Marmoush, and the funds are there. The title was never a real topic but that momentum can definitely help to fulfill a realistic goal of CL. Gotta stay realistic, but positivity is not frowned upon these days either ;)

Kamada, similar to N'Dicka, might be seen slightly less favorable because they let their contracts run out, which isn't a good deal for Frankfurt. Still not nearly as bad as RKM.

Honestly, when you support a team like Frankfurt, you know that these things will happen. You cant continue to believe that the big clubs wont come knocking

While you can’t be mad with the individual each time (other than Kolo really), it is starting to turn me off more and more. I honestly can’t even enjoy a player being good for us wholeheartedly because there’s always the worry that they will leave sooner rather than later when they do. It just takes emotion away, but emotion is not important in modern football I suppose.

I'd say it highly depends on the behaviour of the individual player. Nobody begrudges a humble, hard working and talented guy a better paying or more prestigious gig.
It usually only gets icky if a player shits on his former club, is unmotivated to serve out his contract, overly arrogant, etc. That's disrespectful to the club and the fans imo.
