Patrick Herman would most likely go to Dortmund to join Reus there.

I dont think Bayern would sign any of those 2 right now

Lewandoski has a huge chance of moving to Bayern I would say like 70% chance of him signing with Bayern

I think they might get Ginter and Ginzeck too

Suprises: Lewadowski has already said he wants to leave germany for england,his interest has neva bin to play for bayern.

merengue:

The blame for Barca's failure should be put on Sandro Rosell and no one else for the following reasons:

1. Pep knew that some players had lost their edge and wanted to get rid of them, Rosell refused. Players like Alves, Villa, Pique.
2. The signings of Cesc, Song and Sanchez were luxuries they did not need. All three have added nothing to the team since they joined.
3. Illness or not, Tito is not as good as Pep, they needed someone who could tweak the system like Laudrup or Bielsa, not a continuation of the same system which the whole world has been studying over the last few years.
4. The arrogant belief that every product of La Maisa will be as good as the previous ones.

i know the game of football is unpredictable but theres a big difference between this set of ac milan players and dortmund do .
AC milan played the game as an underdog , while the dortmund guys believe they have the quality to do it , and they go for it .

thegoodjoehunt:

AC Milan's mistake was dropping Muntari for Ambrosini. That gave Barca an extra man on the pitch.

CFCfan:

He should go to Aston Villa. They need a good striker.

Nuri Sahin did well in Liverpool Are you serious?

Below is Sahins quote after leaving Liverpool



What you play in youth tournament doesnt count

Mikel was Attacking midfielder in youth tournament and you know what the drill is now

donem:
If Gundogan is definately your man of the match, how about the 4 goals hero Lewandowski?

The truth is that success in football is never consistent. It takes planning and patience. Except for Man Utd in the EPL. After the success of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, the Barca board should have actually put fate int the La Masia youngsters. I can understand buying Fabregas but Sanchez (who actually is a superstar), Villa and Song, I totally feel was wrong.

Bojan should have been left to develop. Youngsters like Thiago Alcantara, Rafinha Alcantara, Jonathan Dos Santos, Muniesa, Montoya should have been brought in to develop. The success won't come immediately but with time they will dominate. That is what Barca did before and the Germans are doing it now.

thegoodjoehunt:

Nuri Sahin did well but he didn't like the role. Mikel was pushed forward at the nation's cup, and he was clearly the best player of that tournament. It is in youth tourneys you can really see the real talents of players.

He harvested the crops after the farmers (Gotze, Gundogan and Bender) did the work. Lewandowski was the man of the match, mine was Gundogan. He was amazing.

ddippset: ironically barca and madrid have been badly hit by bad refereeing decisions and then some 1diots, big big 1diots would still come out and talk about conspiracy for an el classico final. where are they now? mute as usual.

merengue:

I disagree on that point. Look at the ones they have sold (Bojan, Jeffren, Dos Santos) what have they done in those clubs they have been to? They are simply not good enough. The buying of Cesc was purely based on Catalan emotional sentiments; Xavi wasn't ready to leave and there is no way you can bench Iniesta so what need was he brought to fulfill? The Song one is the most idiotic; you already had Busquets (because of whom they sold Yaya) & Mascherano so what is Song doing in that team? Villa was needed because they needed to lift the scoring burden off Messi's shoulders. Sanchez was supposed to offer something different; speed and directness. Now they are talking about Neymar. Barca needs a good goalie, two good centrebacks and a new striker.

sleekdot:

So are you suggesting Bvb force Sahin back to a role he stated clearly he doesnt like?

How did Sahin do well in Liverpool? He did well that he was shipped out in 6 months

ddippset: cut the long story short. barca needs at least 5 big players in the first eleven. if not get anyone you want, they will continue been bullied and if the ref doesnt protect them, teams will keep thrashing. simple.

thegoodjoehunt:

Sahin left Liverpool because he wanted to play as a deep lying playmaker like Pirlo and Xavi. Brendan Rodgers doesn't like that play and wanted an attacking midfielder. Nuri Sahin was on loan, so Liverpool let him go. Not that he wasn't doing well.

By the way, did you notice Klopp send Gundogan forward and brought in another deep midfielder. He could also play Gundogan in a more advance role. As for the defensive midfield role. I think Sven Bender has come of age and should be left there.

Suprises: But seriously u cnt over look d excellent display of lewandowski dis night.dortmund has always missed him wen he is nt on d pitch,his accuracy on goal is 86% dats why dortmund decided to sell barrios to gv him room to shine and since then his performance has bin glittering

sleekdot:

Sahin left Liverpool to play deep lying midfielder and he is now sitting on the Dortmund bench comfortably Does that make sense?

Klopp moved Gundogan up in a tactical switch they needed to defend, they were up 4 -1

He switched from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3,

He brought in Kehl and played Kehl-Bender with Gundogan forward

That is a defensive set up

Gundogan cant play at Attacking midfield

thegoodjoehunt:

How can you say that Gundogan can't play as an attacking midfielder. Playing as an attacking midfielder doesn't mean you must play as an attacker. Look at Arteta at Arsenal. He has played both deep lying and forward attacking midfielder.

By the way Nuri Sahin has played 12 games since returning in January. Is that warming bench. Please Nuri Sahin is very important to Dortmund.

sleekdot:

Of those 12 games he started on the bench in 6 of them and he has only played 627 minutes since he joined

That my guy is benchwarming

If he plays then it takes a huge part out of his game and cant function effectively.

Its like saying Cazorla plays as a winger sure he can but would he be effective is the main question

Sahin is just returning. The team has been on for Two seasons without him. He is coming in and with the departure of Gotze, he will get more games. So what is the problem. Do you think Klopp went for Sahin, if he didn't need him.

thegoodjoehunt:

Please Carzola functions better on the wings than in the midfield.

thegoodjoehunt:


The question is, will Dortmund still be able to Keep Jurgen Klopp. He has been monumental in the building of this team and getting them motivated. If Klopp stays, then there is no fear, what he did with Sahin, Kagawa, Gotze and Lewandowski, will repeat again.

sleekdot:

Not sure if you are joking or serious

sleekdot:

Klopp went for Sahin for depth purposes which Dortmund is lacking.

Ever since Sahin left Dortmund has been better and his replacement Gundogan is way better than him. Sahin cant replace Gotze. Neither can Gundogan. The pace required for Dortmund quick transition neither Sahin nor Ilkay has it and thats what they require from their front 3-4. Transition from midfield to attack at break neck pace
