Schalke is always a disappointment!


Huntelaar has no business playing for Schalke

raumdeuter:


See as he just dey waste chances and lose possesion anyhow

Schalke get ill luck with strikers , If they are not using Teemu Pukki, they would be using Adam Szalai, Chinedu Obasi

Lordave:
Schalke is the only club I've a soft spot for Europe(Bayern is my club by birth), but they keep messing around each and every season. With all their money, history and position on Richest Clubs Ranking they should be competing with the likes of Tottenham, Roma etc in attracting top players. They don't even have any good signing this season and they have a load injury prone players. I just wish the club finds managerial redemption.

Seems like I'd port to Leverkusen. Since Schmidt took over, Leverkusen became a joy to watch, I couldn't blink against Lazio. Just a defensive reinforcement and Leverkusen can easily be in the UCL quarters.

raumdeuter:


Bayer Leverkusen is a better managed club they have less fans and a smaller stadium but they do extensive scouting especially in South America

That was where they got gems like Lucio, Franca, Vidal and now their left back Wendell

Dortmund also have potentials with Tuchel in charge

AirborneLacer:


I doubt the authenticity of these figures you're reeling out, unless we're talking dollars here.

Firmino cost Liverpool £30m and Son cost Spurs £22m. City on the other hand are yet to confirm the report that they've launched a £58m bid for KDB.

Meanwhile, If you were Son, would you rather remain at Leverkusen to play in the UCL at the expense of moving to a team who are offering you bumper wage?

So a player's individual ability is now a function of how big his club is, no more performance in world cup final?. Keep shifting goal post when cornered, to defend your sappy assertions. No coach will bank on boatank as his defensive saviour and look elsewhere. He is a very unreliable defender whose flaws are being overlooked because of other players superb performances which have been covering up for him.

They are in Euros. Abi wetin dem go take pay German team?

KDB is going to City forget about it

If I'm Son I'd not leave Leverkusen for a rubbish club like Spurs is what I'm saying. He is football royalty in Korea so he can't be hurting for cash that badly. Either way I'm keen to see how he performs. Hopefully he got some advice from the likes of Schuerrle, Holtby etc

Dadehmola:


....only for Bayern to snap up their 5 best players for a combined,miserly fee of €25m euros & dang - both clubs are back to square one again!!
How can a league be this hopeless & worthless??

You still haven't told us why klopp left Dortmund. I heard he was threatened with a sack letter at bayern's AGM at the beginning of last season!

Right now we have Vidal, Juve have 35m, Leverkusen have nothing.

raumdeuter:


A Man Utd supporter would know more about being useless

Regarding Leverkuse, We gave them Kroos on loan, We told them to sell us Vidal

We offered Leverkusen more money than Juve offered for Vidal they prefer to sell to Juve for 11m in 2 installments

Right now we have Vidal, Juve have 35m, Leverkusen have nothing.

We gave them Can on loan one of our youths, they went ahead and sold him to Liverpool for peanuts

Lars Ricken:

“It is not the most important thing to catch Bayern Munich because they have such a strong team, maybe their best squad they had in their history.The former Germany international, who turns 39 today, added: “Our aim is to catch up with Wolfsburg, Schalke, (Bayer) Leverkusen and Borussia Moenchengladbach. They must have the aim next season to maybe to win the League and come as far as they can in the German Cup and play in the Champions League in 2016.”

raumdeuter:


I think a loan is in Hojbjergs best interest. You know if he stays Pep has already had his mind made up on playing Alonso until that one falls and die on the field or play Lahm in midfield

If Hojbjerg stays he would barely get to play. You know Pep's idea of rotation is to play ALonso till he dies. We played Hoffenheim and Hambur Pierre didnt play is it when we play Barcelona and Madrid that he would play?
He is a 20yr old needs to play a lot of games and in the guys career interest its better for him to go get play time at a Schalke level club and come back when Alonso is off

At Schalke, there would e less pressure to deliver of be benched like at Bayern and he can work with their young core of Geis, Goretzka, Sane, Meyer, Clemens etc

SIRcumalot:

You'll leave bayern munich for enyimba if enyimba offered more money.

You must be laughing out loud, when you typed that. Even kevin boateng would laugh too.

OBOABONA > boatang

A40:

Just because you guys have been signing lots of Mercs lately doesn't mean every player is one. Lahm, Mueller, Neuer, Robben, Alaba would not leave Bayern regardless of what you offered them

Lordave:
I'm happy because Hojbjerg will have more playing time at Schalke than at Bayern. Remember he's not competing only with Alonso, there's Vidal, Rode, Thiago, Lahm, Kimmich and even Gaudino and a fit Javi Martinez. With the rate of his maturity, he needs to be playing constantly and keeping him at Bayern would slow down his development . We won't miss him and if he's happy with the loan, I'm happy too. He'll be back to replace Alonso next year.

AirborneLacer:

Bawo loja? I'll tell you it's pretty tough to price away players from their teams lately. I thought PSG had lost their marbles when they shelled out 50m for Luiz last season, but it turned out they were getting on the bandwagon - spend massive to acquire a transfer target.

And given how integral Firmino, Son and KDB were to Hoffenhiem, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg respectively, it was always expected that they'd leave for huge figures.

IMO Son's move isn't a bad one. Spurs is one team that offers you the chance to market your skillset before the entire world. Modric, Bale etc all made the moves of their lives from White Hart Lane. Kane is doing that today and I'm sure Levy is receiving calls for the lad.

If Son can prove himself in a Spurs' shirt whilst pocketing home handsome wages, then it's a win-win for the Asian. No bother yourself, orile ede to rewa ni England and our football is good, he'd love it here

SIRcumalot:

I guess this makes schweinsteiger and ballack mercenary then.
I wonder what will happen to most of those name you mentioned above when they're past it or "Madrid come-a-knocking" like they did for kross.

A40:

Shuo! Who does not know that Ballack was a Merc?

Schweinsteiger technically was one too

Kroos left because we didn't pay him. Not because Madrid came-a-knocking. If we want to hold on to a player not even Madrid can take him from us

A40:
. Aside the addition of Vidal there is little to suggest Pep has learned from his mistakes of last season

A40:

How can Alonso at almost 34 be an undisputed starter at Bayern? This would have been an excellent opportunity to rotate Hojbjerg with Alonso.

SIRcumalot:

We go see now.
Robben,ribery and lahm done dey old when they all don't take kindly to sitting on the bench and they eventually leave you go call them mercenaries too.

Pep is an idiot, imagine he couldn't bundle boatank out and sign a quality central back. I can't see bayern winning ucl with an epileptic defender which every striker has discovered his weakness as a calamity in defending one on one against attackers.

airmark:
That's the question on many people lips about boatank still in your team, since their will be the likes of Messi, aguero, hazard, Oscar, Neymar in ucl, boatank should be booted out for a better defender, you see man City buying otamendi, why Pep couldn't go for this kind of good defender? Benatia is injured, Dante and boatank are like twins in calamitous performances. that reminds me, where is badstuber I am tired of seeing stvpid boatank? with a better cb and dm bayern should reach at least the semi final of ucl this season but there's a certain boatank who would sabotage that, he has started the mission.

As usual, a supposed title contender don gba kamu even before the season kicked off.

The bundesliga should be cancelled with red biro!!

3 BL Titles
1 Champions League Title
1 UEFA Supercup
1 Club World Cup
2 German Cups

So Barcelona was wrong to bundle valdes out , for a ter stegen, who have never won any club title in his life? Valdes won all these and more laurels than boatank with Barcelona, so based on stvpid analogy of someone like you, he should have remained in barca. What about when he got to man utd? is he better than de gea or Sergio romero, because they have not won ucl in their lives?. You need a rest.

Lars Ricken team Dortmund battled with relegation for most of last season. They just got a new coach

So why would the suddeny expect a team with that recent struggle to suddenly compete with Bayern.

As a Man Utd fan I think you are not paying attention enough. Man Utd had a poor season under Moyes and last yr got a new coach. It was declared by everybody in Man Utd that their aim last season was to make top 4 and not gun for the league because of their recent struggle

This is a club who spent about 150m on transfer last season yet someone expects Dortmund to view things different when Man Utd a much bigger team even couldnt in their useless eague

Andy Cole thinks Manchester United should target a top-four finish next season because he believes the title is probably beyond them

LvG: the most important thing is the goal we have set, and that is the top four. The aim is to reach the top four in our first year together, and if we do not achieve that you can write that we have failed.

I hope you wished they cancelled the EPL with black biro because the biggest team in EPL history was hoping to finish just top 4

Victor Valdes left Barcelona at 32.

Boateng was one of the major/key players who won the CL and WOrld cup for him team Something John agama Terry can never say

raumdeuter:


When you had a new coach after a bad season you were just content with 4

Is that not the same situation DOrtmund is currently? Coming off a bad season with a new coach

Dortmund this season was Man Utd last season only that they didnt spend 150m on players

You spent 150m on new players and still targetted just top 4. Isnt that a shame and the whole league should be cancelled?
