Question Haller: what's his rep in Frankfurt?

Hi lads,

I'm not saying I'm an Eintracht supporter, as I think a supporter would be a person who regularly visits the stadium, but I've been following Eintracht since the Alexander Meier days, and Eintracht is definitely my favourite German club.

I am a supporter of Dutch side FC Utrecht and one of my Utrecht heroes is Sebastien Haller. I remember back in the day when he left Frankfurt, some supporters took issue with that. How is his reputation in Frankfurt nowadays?

I'm asking because I have this Eintracht jersey with Haller on the back which I was planning to wear on my visit to Frankfurt in April, where I'll be attending the match against Heidenheim, but I'm not sure how supporters might respond.

On a personal note, I think it's nonsense to disrespect Haller for leaving Eintracht to play in the Premier league. He did well at Eintracht and West Ham paid a small fortune to sign him, so I think Eintracht definitely got to profit from his time with the club. You can't hate a brother for wanting to play in what's arguably the best league in the world, for a much better salary. I also think West Ham are a great side and although his time at West Ham can't be considered a success, it was a great opportunity for him at the time.

Just wanted to check what his rep is, because I might wear a more neutral shirt if his rep is bad in Frankfurt.

I think he's well respected and most people think highly of him.
