He played a match today behind closed doors. (apparently with the U23)

Great news.

Yep. He played in a test with the 2nd team of Dortmund against the 2nd team of Bochum. So did Marco Reus.
Gündogan also scored a goal

Great news as im a Dortmund fan, he probbaly won't be heading to Barcelona now though what with Rakitic and now Samper coming up after by the time the Ban is over.

We still need an attacking midfielder though. Both Rakitic and Samper are CDM.

Rakitic is a CM/AM, not a CDM.

Rakitic is a CM/AM, not a CDM.

I know, but his role with us is more of a CDM these days. I love the guy but he is not offensively creative enough.

That's because the system doesn't give him the freedom to be creative.

Well he has to cover for Alves, so it's expected that he doesn't have as much freedom as before.

The main driving force in attack behind Sevilla's Europa League win is not creative enough. Luft pls!

Denis Suarez?
He is doing great at Sevilla.

 

[DinhoR10]

Samper may in the long run replace Busi but if he were to be promoted next year he'd play mostly in Xavi's position i'd imagine.

Yeah, I hope Rakitic as the CAM will be unleashed soon.
