That's a solid idea but it's tough to get guys committing to you knowing that they'll only be the #1 for one season. Though, if we got that route, I think there might be an option at a place we normally don't look at. As Mourinhos departure from Real is pretty much a given and with the next...

ter Stegen and the Club have already stated that he'll play for Gladbach next season. So I doubt that he'll sign with anyone this summer and I doubt Gladbach would go for the sell and loan route you suggest. Alder's had at least as many lapses as ter Stegen had this season and given how...

I've read your posts and I think your judgement of ter Stegen is ridicoulus. I also watched a lot of Courtois and I don't think he's better then ter Stegen. He currently plays behind the best defense of La Liga and looks pretty good because of that. Just one season ago, ter Stegen was playing...

Well, if that's how you assess players then Barca probably should stay away from ever buying another goalkeeper, given that none will ever be as "prepared" as you'd like them to be. And talking about Courtois being better because of yesterdays game, then that's shortsighted as well. Though, I...

What the hell??? How can you be prepared for shots you can't see? That first goal by Ribery was something the defense should've never let happen(shot through the legs of the defender and no pressure at all), the Martinez goal was him running free on ter Stegen and he had no chance against those...

Of course, that always happens in football. Still, I don't see it happening this summer, given that the club isn't in need for money, him still being under contract and born in Mönchengladbach etc. Think a transfer will happen next summer or the one after, at the very latest. :pep: Wiese...

Well, given that ter Stegen already stated that he'll play for Mönchengladbach next season, Reina's the only one(of those two) that realisticly will join Barca this summer... Because Dynamo Kyiv isn't a small club and there are quite some heavy investors in the Ukraine/Russia that won't let...

I think we're onto something here... Wow, and Bayern got Götze for only 37 mil. Would rather play some youngsters instead of paying that kind of money for Neymar. Eh...small? It's pretty simple. There's no american, russian or asian investor running the club and that's why we can't spend...

Not going to happen. Unless Barca pays a huge transfer fee he won't be let go by Borussia and he also stated that he'll be playing for them next season. Or maybe he wants to be able to read and understand all those rumors from Spain as well. :lol:

Well, you could say the same thing about the Spaniards as well. Thoug, were should ter Stegen go, if not abroad? Bayern --> Neuer Dortmund --> Weidenfeller(just signed extansion through 2016) Schalke --> maybe, but won't offer enough money and can't guarantee a deep CL run at all That's why...

Another thing he's not that good at is playing Mönchengladbach. :lol: Here are two examples for you 1st goal another blunder Though, he sure as hell isn't as bad as some are trying to make him. He's an excellent goalkeeper who plays the position very offensive minded(ter Stegen does as...

In an interview published today ter Stegen was quoted that he will stay at Mönchengladbach and play for the club next season. Though, given that his contract will be up in 2015 and with the club not being able to extend it, to this day, I'd expect him to transfer next summer.

Because Reus had an opt out in his contract with Mönchengladbach while Neymar does not. Dortmund did the same thing to Mönchengladbach that Bayern did to them in the Götze deal. And if you could convince Reus to join Barca he could be had with the same strategy, as he's got an opt out in his...

Marc-Andre ter Stegens Manager, Gerd vom Bruch, has told Kicker magazine that he only heard of Barca's interest in his client from media members, but not from the club. I think ter Stegen will stay at least another year at Gladbach, given that his manager's a pretty solid guy who's not just...

I'm not too sure of that. Given how fast things change and managers are being hired and sacked, I don't think a club should give the coach everything he wants and the power that comes with it. Maybe things don't work, you sack him and now you've got a team full of guys that he wanted. The next...

I totally understand you but which world class cb will be available? Silva just transferred to PSG last summer, makes a boatload of money and they're trying to buy....err...built something that can win the CL. He'd be very expensive and I'm not sure if he'd be really that interested in leaving...

Great post Don. :beer2: We've got centre backs but what we do lack is a fast cb that can help defend the coubter attack and also add some more toughnes to the back four. Also, no one likes bringing up Real, but they made a pretty good desicion when the bought that young, lanky cb from France...

Not just that, we also lost Dante(Bayern) and a solid midfielder in Neustädter(Schalke) last summer. Thanks to that we weren't able to play the same style like last year(nearly unwatchable at times) and most likely won't play in Europe next season.

Thanks guys. :thumbsup2: I don't think anyone has to convince them. If Barca really wants ter Stegen and he wants to join them then there's not much standing in the way. The only thing holding it back, for a couple days or weeks, would be the transfer fee, given how talented ter Stegen is...

Well, if Valdes really wants to leave then of course we'll have to buy another goalkeeper. I also wouldn't want to buy Silva(too expensive) and rather have Hummels, but it will be really tough to get him as he does not have an opt out in his contract.
