The Bundesliga Thread

[MaestroZidane]

I see it as more of a reason for each team to prove a point, after being eliminated from the CL...

 

[newbie original]

Also, the seemingly meaningless game between Bayern and Dortmund next week takes on massive significance.

Not in the Bundesliga. I don't think that either team will start their regulars.

 

[Mandieta6]

Leverkusen has signed Robbie Kruse from Dusseldorf, meaning that they have a replacement for Schurrle set up, so he can join Chelsea.

I hope they can get someone else as well. Kruse is decent, but he is enough nearly as good as Schurrle and it sounds like they won't get KDB on-loan either. If they want to get to the knock-out rounds of the CL they'll need more than that.

 

[Mus]

Kruse is horrible. Rogic is better

 

[Mandieta6]

Doesn't play for over a month and a half, only two goals since December, scores 3 goals and an assit on his return.

 

[Mandieta6]

I have no idea who Rogic is, but Kruse is probably Dusseldorf's 2nd best player after Giefer. At least from what I've seen. 7 assists and 4 goals is unimpressive, but it's the biggest direct contribution of anyone in that poor side (over a third of their goals, actually). I don't recall much of him, but I do remember making a mental note to distinguish him from Max Kruse because they were both pretty good.

 

[Mus]

Tom Rogic, he's 4 years younger than Kruse and already showed way more promise and ability than Kruse has in internationals

 

[Mandieta6]

Oh he's some Australian guy. Right, I wouldn't know about internationals, but Kruse has been a good player in a bad team recently. I don't think he's good enough to be anything more than good depth at Leverkusen and I hope they get someone else, as well.

 

[Mus]

I suppose Düsseldorf are probably a better team with a better manager than Australia so he'd probably shine more anyway

 

[ShiftyPowers]

So Dortmund have basically flipped Gotze for De Bruyne and Son Heung-Min. Obviously they don't want to lose Mario, but that's not a bad piece of business.

 

[Arnau]

I'd like to see a 4-3-3 with Sahin starter, Klopp should start to change things.


-----------------Weinderfeler--------------------
Piszczek----Subotic----Hummels----Schmelzer
--------------------Bender------------------------
---------Gündogan---------Sahin----------------
--Reus------------Dzeko-----------De Bruyne---

 

[Deisler]

Dzeko?

 

[Mandieta6]

They say Dortmund want Dzeko.

 

[MelvinSmiley]

Weinderfeler?? Its Weidenfeller.

 

[Haarithan]

"Go to hell Gotze!" from BVB fans...

 

[Sepak]

EA's team of the season, do you agree?

 

[chygry]

Seems quite right, although Mandžukić needs to be there, Güdnogan as well... And Martinez among the subsitutes.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Boateng? Seriously?

 

[Mandieta6]

Yeah, I'd say even Wollscheid deserves it more.

 

[1966+2006]

It's times like these where you really notice how much everybody in Germany hates Hoffenheim so much.
