2015-16 German Bundesliga Discussion Thread II

[Andi Obst]

Okay, now I can either trust Det's or No_20's opinion on him.

That's a tough one.

Lived in 4 different countries, speak 5 different languages, played youth football with well known Bundesliga players and watch football every week from various leagues all over Europe, not just Bundesliga like you guys. But yeah, my opinion is irrelevant according to you. Right.

That's very good for you. Doesn't make me respect your opinion one bit more, though.

How is Zidane 2.0 doing, Mr. Super-Expert?

[Andi Obst]

And btw, it's not really impressive to speak 5 different languages considering you're at least 150 years old.

I'm around the same age as you, possibly younger(you're 22 or 23 right?)

Why do you think I'm old?

You think you're a fan of a big club.

You think you're a fan of a big club.

Never been relegated(only HSV, RM, Barca, Athletic, Inter have never been relegated from the big leagues), one of only 3 German clubs to win the greatest European cup competition, world famous city, big stadium, big support. If that's not a big club then I dont know what a big club is.

I have a soft spot for them because one of my favorite player at the time(Barbarez) played there.

No idea why you think I'm an old fella. I think I'm even younger than you.

[Andi Obst]

A big club should be successful, or should've been in recent memory, but maybe that's just my interpretation.

It doesn't really matter, I just think your obsession with history is really weird at times.

Seems like Xhaka to Arsenal could be close.
According to Rheinische Post(pretty reliable in terms of Gladbach) they've made a first offer of €43M + incentives.
The newspaper also writes that Sebastian Rode and Christoph Kramer could be the replacements, if Xhaka leaves.

Bayern selling Götze. Where will he end up?

Dortmund? Leipzig? Liverpool? Juventus?

you've seen how knowledgeable I am about English football as well in the PL topic and also other leagues.

lol again

No way he ends up in Leipzig.

Bayern are gonna pay 5 mil. to Benfica every time Renato Sanches completes a 25th match for five times.

No idea why Bayern signed him for so much money. Could've very well just bought Tielemans for less than half that amount.

Caldirola?

Solid backup for LB/CB positions.

"Ich saß vergangene Woche vor dem Spiel gegen Wolfsburg eine Stunde mit Beiersdorfer und auch allein mit Labbadia zusammen - aber keiner hat mir gesagt, dass ich gehen soll, obwohl es intern alle wussten", so Drobny in der Sport Bild .

Der Vertrag des Oldies im Tor der Rothosen läuft im Sommer aus, Christian Mathenia soll ihn beerben. Ein Tatsache, die dem Tschechen aber offensichtlich nicht deutlich klar gemacht wurde: "Du sitzt da, und sie lügen dir in die Augen. Das habe ich so nicht erwartet!"

Dass die Hanseaten sich nach einem neuen Schlussmann umschauen, ist für Drobny indes kein Problem. "Es ist legitim, dass sich der HSV einen jüngeren Keeper für die nächsten Jahre holen möchte - aber warum sagen sie mir das nicht einfach?"

Einmal in Rage, attackierte Drobny die Bosse scharf: "Das ist Kindergarten! Keiner hatte die Eier, es mir einfach ins Gesicht zu sagen! Wenn ich sage, was ich wirklich denke, wird es teuer für mich. Aber ich spiele ohnehin nicht für diese Leute."

"Ich spiele für den Verein und die Fans. Der HSV ist der geilste Klub, bei dem ich je war. Er ist in meinem Herzen und wird dort immer bleiben", bedankte er sich abschließend für seine sechs Jahre an der Elbe.

Hamburger SV at it again. Drobny has been amazing this season (better than starter Adler for sure) and bosses don't even have the guts to tell him they consider him too old and want him gone.

No way he ends up in Leipzig.

They have the money and the ambition.

I dont know if Götze would settle in a foreign country and move away from his family and friends. He seems like a shy guy. Remember when he came back to Dortmund and was too scared of warming up in front of Dortmund fans. Not really alpha mentality is it.

And moving to a club where he'll regularly get offended would suit his mentality then?

He won't go to Leipzig according to my sources. If I am wrong, I will punch my face once everyday for a week.

OK, I believe you.

Anyways, first Rheinische Post, Torfabrik and Kicker(SportBild as well, but those dudes are the only ones writing about a laugheable offer and don't know what they're doing anyways) reported that Arsenal has made an offer somewhere between €43 - €48 million for Xhaka and now Eberl came out and denied it.
I guess he wants even more or is trying to secure a replacement(more likely two, like he said before), before signing off on the deal...

Also, Löw has nominated a squad of U-20 guys to play against the national team during preperation.
Mo Dahoud was included as well and the only tournament I could see him playing this summer would be the european championships, given that the Olympics would interfere with a possible CL-Qualification matchup for us.

Less pressure than at world wide clubs like Liverpool and Juventus for sure. Dont foget that Götze has a huge reputation outside of Germany despite doing nothing nothing at club level for the last 3 years. He would be a marquee signing for those clubs. If he fails in Leipzig then who cares really.

[Foye]

Frankfurt signing Fredi Bobic.

Hübner and him building the team in the next few years. I'd say mediocrity secured in Frankfurt even if they don't get relegated.
