Gotze's had his own problems. But the position he has been playing these past years is not the one where his talents made him one of the brightest young stars on the planet.

Your genius coach put him there even though he hasn't been performing well. However, can't really blame Pep because he simply doesn't have that much talent to be one of the stars in the world.

What genius coach? Gotze's never played for Tuchel, Streich or Favre.

So often when I read massi-posts all I can think of is Randy Marsh yelling "that's not how we're remembering it" in the South Park episode parodying the Da Vinci code :lol:

while it would be a difficult homecoming, i would welcome götze back in dortmund. only question is, where he would find a spot?

as for auba. he has a contract til 2020!!! i think any club would have to pay a lot of money. as watzke would say, an oil field would be in order. and we know from the whole lewandowski to bayern situation, that watzke doesn't care for the money, if he isn't able to find the right replacement.
too many urkels on your team, that's why your wins low

That might be a nice dream, but in reality he should take a look at it and with those EPL teams loading in on cash this summer, you've got to sell if there's an ridiculous offer for Aubameyang in the summer.
That would also give the club a shot at buying a replacement with the money and maybe strengthening other areas.

BTW: Seems like we've got a huge dude defending for us in the second half of the season. :o

Anyways, the deal's said to be worth about €8M(loan + option to buy) and we've got to make a decision in april.
I guess we should give him the Eberl diet(lost over 8 kilos last year) and putting him into a room with Martin Stranzl should give him a chance to learn from a real vet.

This is a DFB-Trainerausbilder. No wonder there are so many bad managers in the country.

Marcel Reif quits Sky after this season.
One terrible commentator less to listen to. He is #2 on my worst commentators list right behind Bela Rethy. Fritz von Thurn und Taxis takes the #3 spot.

He might be leaving Sky but he's also stated that he won't step down completely.
I guess we might have to prepare for the terrible triangle of Bela Rethy, Steffen Simon and Marcel Reif during the european championships, given that ARD/ZDF would be the most logical landing spot for him with them broadcasting the tournaments and ZDF also having the rights for the champions league. :nonono:

Bartels is the worst.

Top 3 best:

1. Marco Hagemann
2. Wolff Fuss
3. Frank Buschmann

Oliver Schmidt from ZDF is decent as well.

Buschmann's terrible at anything besides basketball and the only reason for that was his emotional broadcasting style.
Though, he hasn't been doing basketball for quite some time now and I always shudder listening to him broadcasting american football.

A guy I like is Matthias Stach, who's doing football but is also the main guy at Eurosport doing tennis etc. for over 20 years or so.

BTW: It seems like Granit Xhaka will be gone in the summer.
Even sporting director Max Eberl won't rule it out anymore, stating that the club has the final say but that there are insane amounts of money being thrown around by those clubs in England.

I hope he goes anywhere but Bayern for a good amount of money and I believe that he'll end up in the premier league given all the links(Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Citeh etc.) and him stating that this league is one of his goals.

On another note:
Wolfsburg is about the sell cb Tim Klose to Norwich City.
They're said to receive €12 M for their third choice CB( :lol: ) and are after Niklas Süle to replace him.

Eurosport usually has pretty decent commentators that are not going to annoy you. Unfortunately, they their program contains few sports that I actually want to watch lol. Literally, the only thing I'll watch on Eurosport is Tour de France.

Timm Klose officially leaves Wolfsburg for Norwich for the rumored 12M: insane. Sule still the expected replacement: lame.

In other Hoffenheim news; the club are said to be closing in on a move for Leicester's Kramaric. Their next attempt to spark that attacking unit which has been so dreadful now that Volland must do it all without his partner in crime. If their midfield gains some competency (aka Amiri takes over the 10) and Kramaric settles in much better than Vargas has, this might just be a good way to get both club and player on track...though a Philipp Ochs breakout wouldn't go amiss for them either...

See EPL fanboys? Your money means nothing when even the last place BuLi team can buy from the clubs at the very top of the EPL table...

The best part of their program are the Australian Open (just started, yay!) and the French Open for me. Love their work during the tennis tournaments in general.

I'm not into tennis at all. One of the least watchable sports for me. I'll be watching darts before I watch tennis lol

Yes, I'm watching tennis since the Becker/Graf days and I'm very happy that Eurosport finally seem to have a "german window" again.
Though, I don't like the French Open much(never liked playing on clay myself, whenever I played a bit) and favour the Aussie and US Open.

On a football note.
cgf will be able to watch left back Christopher Lenz playing at the "Alte Försterei" as Union Berlin has signed him from our reserves.
Lenz is from Berlin and signed with us a couple years ago from the Hertha BSC Academy.

Oh, and the Xhaka saga keeps on going.
After stating one week ago that €50 M would be enough for Gladbach to sell him, Bild has "written" another article now stating that €40 M would be our asking price.
Them guys are really knowledeable, I guess... :rofl:

Though, I expect him to go in the summer and it seems like Arsenal(for €40M +) could be his new team.
