Marco Reus

[EdmondDantes]

Fingers crossed he will be alright. It's great to see him back and playing well. It's no coincidence Dortmund are doing better with him in the team.

 

[Ini8]

It's just a knock according to German TV.

 

[1611]

Hopefully just a knock and Klopp took him out to avoid an escalation of tempers from both sides.

 

[zanela]

Scored on his return vs AUS. His movement and pressing upfront is so so good.

The Socceroos doing well so far.

 

[Vegeta]

We should by Reus.

Turns 26 today. Happy birthday, Marco!

Shame he hasn't won anything of note in 3 years at BVB though. I hope he wins at least one league title before he leaves/retires.

 

[Galning]

He's a lot older than I thought.

 

[antonnn]

Me too. I'd always thought he was Hazard's age until I looked at his wiki a couple months ago.

Marco Reus visited Madrid this past weekend with his girlfriend and family and reportedly bought a house in the upscale La Finca neighborhood of Pozuelo, a suburb of Madrid.

So the question is, which Madrid team is he joining? Real Madrid or Atletico?

If he has to come to one of the madrid clubs it will be real unless atletico ditch jackson martinez.

ATM would be freaking scary with all that attacking power. Griezmann, Jackson Martinez, Vietto,Reus... It seems kind of unlikely. The only way that we would get Benzema is if we sell Reus. Then our formation would look like this I presume:
De Gea
Danilo-Varane-Ramos/Otamendi/Pepe-Marcelo
Modrić-Kroos
James-Bale- Reus
Ronaldo
All of the top 4 can switch positions because they're all versatile. It would be really hard for the opponents to follow all the position changes. We all know Uncle Flo,he wants his Galactico, it's either Aguero or Reus and since Aguero seems unavailable and Reus is less selfish...

That's one scary and awesome starting XI.

By the way, on Otamendi, is there any concrete rumor linking him to you guys? I thought he was linked to some EPL club?

Nothing really concrete. He's linked to Man.Utd but this is how it pretty much is :
- Otamendi wants out of Valencia, apparently he told that to the club CEO 3 months ago. Marca and plenty of other sources are reporting that he wants to leave asap
- Ramos is being linked to Man .Utd while Pepe is being linked with City and Chelsea. Real see Otamendi as the replacement for Pepe/Ramos. If Man Utd. grabs Ramos then the obvious option is going for Otamendi.
- Rumors about Otamendi saying that he wants to play for RM. Some bullshit that a close friend asked him which club he'd like to play for and he immediately answered Real Madrid.
Reus replacing Benzema would give us a lot of creativity. Marcelo and Reus linking up would be magical. I'm pretty bummed because it seems no matter what that Isco will be on the bench or even worse ,sold.

Could be. Could also become a 442 with James, Modric, Kroos, Reus - Ronaldo, Bale. You have options. But Ronaldo as a 9 might prove to be a bad idea. Sometimes a 9 is more important for other players than for himself, and Ronaldo lately has shown he only knows how to play for himself. Personally, if I was a Real fan, I would sell Ronaldo this summer, put Benzema up top, buy Reus & a top DM, and bring back Morata. I would play a similar system, only with Benzema/Morata as the pivot and a real DM in midfield. Someone like Kondogbia would be ideal for you. Selling Ronaldo would be great for Madrid this summer. It would allow you to enter a new phase, putting more trust into Isco/James/Morata/Bale, a fine collection of young stars, rather than having an egomaniacal 30 years old winger that shows anger when other players score "his" goals. That's just me. But I hope you keep Ronaldo, and you get 3rd spot next season in La Liga with Cristiano the Pichichi again.

I think it's pretty clear that as usually, Benitez will bring his 4-2-3-1. Us not playing with 4-2-3-1 most of the time will mean that he has no authority whatsoever. I'm also not too big of a CR9 fan but let's be honest , he's playing as a striker most of the time anyways. It could work because James could feed him from the right and Reus from the left . If Bale actually returns to being left, he could also feed him some nice balls(no homo). I don't see us selling any of the BBC tho but I'm also afraid of Reus going to ATM.
