Midfielders are integral for our philosphy, which makes Cesc the more important transfer esp. in the long run regarding Xavis career end.

Baruwah?!?!

Actually i support Cologne (aka Köln, aka just 'FC'). But i actually always supported talented and convincing teams. Thus i was actually with Dortmund for the last two campagins (as Cologne isnt involved in the title races), as they played the best football and absolutely deserved the titles...

Investigation sounds nice ... what matters though is the decision. And i would be surprised if it isnt Mou deciding who to buy.

And that gives him which powers?

Its still Mou who is in charge at RM ...

Things is that its obvious that he needs tactical training. Another option would be to buy and loan him out somewhere. Maybe Ajax would work. Some team with a similar tactical philosophy. Thats would still not be as good as training him at home, like in the B team.

I think its better to put him there so he could actually get league games than move him to the first team right away where he would train a year but only see a few minutes of match time occasionally.

What i noticed yesterday about Thiago Silva is his tendancy to play an easy sidepass to the other CD (Juan) instead of building up himself. Im not sure if thats the perfect type of player. Could however just been a fluke or sth. But it was kinda notable at some point ...

After watching him yesterday i would actually prefer - in case his transfer to Barca is actually arranged - that he comes here immediatly. That way he could spent a year at Barca B before joining first team in 2013. That way he would learn the necessary proper movement and tactical awareness.

Third full match ive seen from him yesterday. I better dont say too much before being again dubbed as 'hater'. Just one thing that i didnt notice before: his positioning when offering himself for passes is ... well ... lets say it diplomatic ... not so totally optimal ...

Id think so too. But i was mainly wondering about that rumor, saying that Pep is already learning german. That would be quite an indicator id say.

Just read somewhere that Pep is learning german. There was even a source indecating it (i dont speak proper spanish though): http://blogs.periodistadigital.com/estoesloquehay.php/2011/11/11/p305129 Anyone knows sth more about this, b/c ppl are considering him as new coach for Bayern ... ?

So does that mean that what i thought was happening (Neymar giving the ball away easily in a good position and lying down on the floor) actually didnt happen and instead he did something amazingly good, like dribble past those 3-4 defenders and score ... or run the flank, do a cross that got...

Thats true and i said this already. There is also a reason why im pretty quiet in here ;) Still what puzzles me is that those video are posted to showcase his (supposed) skills, while they just dont show (enough) endproduct - like i posted above. And despite the fact that i didnt watch a lot...

Thing is that i see a lot of good things when i see Messi. And in total the good things outweight the bad things by far - which is different with the Neymar clips on youtube. About the term 'horrible' ... ye, sounds harsh. But i used it like i do in like 'horrible weather' - just to stress the...

Honestly, there is no hate involved. Its true that i only watched two matches of him so far - Brazil-Germany, where he was invisible apart from his goal in OT that was however good and Santos-Barca where he was just invisible. So what i only see besides this are these showcase videos. And they...

I can only speak for myself, but there isnt any hate in my opionion that he is simply a horrible player. Videos like this one ... ... are the source for this evaluation. His flick might look fancy, but just take an objective look on the product: he gives the ball away easily in an otherwise...

Just my bet with Reus, as he is in top form and Löw simply might want to play him. Could be as MS too though, which btw explains why he took only 2 strikers.

Squad stripped down to 23 now with Cacau, Sven Bender, ter Stegen and Draxler sorted out. That ends us up with: GK: Neuer, Wiese, Zieler DEF: Badstuber, Hummels, Boateng, Höwedes, Mertesacker, Lahm, Schmelzer MF: Özil, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Müller, Götze, Gündogan, Lars Bender...
