Nantes of all mediocre clubs ?!

*sigh*

In other news, I'm really looking forward to the Serie A. It has fallen a lot in term of level but the game proposed by some (Napoli and Fiorentina to name them) is really pleasing. The latter being my favorite team, I am awaiting great things this year after the much deserved 4th place last year despite a new system (3-5-2), a new coach, and almost no international players (bar Jovetic and Ljalic). Their politics of renting players is also very healthy in the long run. Go Viola

Man, Marin's career is fucked if he doesn't dominate in Sevilla. Screwed the pooch when he signed for Chelsea.

Lol xD Has a chance to prove himself in Spain now though. Sevilla lost quite a few players (Navas Negrado too soon) so will be a spot for him so like you say needs to make himself known in La Liga

Yeah Dortmund don't understand simple business deals

Keep a player they can get 20-25million for to let him go for free to main rivals next season. GG xD

#1 Remove the rainbow color-lines, I don't want to block every single image.
#2 We would sell him to ManCity/Real/ManU but Lewa does not want to! Dortmund is not the problem,Lewa and his agents are just fucking idiots!

So Lewandowski is hell-bent on going to Bayern? Because just about every team in Europe would shell out the money for him.

Dortmund almost in the situation we were in last season with Van Persie. Can understand them not wanting to sell to the other competitor.

So you think they doing the right thing? Keeping a player from joining Gotze at Bayern for 20-25million to let him go for free next season ? :S
Plus your keeping a player who will not play for his shirt next season, something Dortmund pretty much well known for? He will be pretty much a waste of space....giving him wages to sit on the bench probably in the end

Correct but what choice did you have in the end ^_^
Let him go for free nex season and keep him unhappy? Or cash in and buy Podoslki and Giroud to do his job (which they didn't last season ofc) but this season Arsenal are in even better shape financially and are bringing in Higuain!

BVB are in a shit situation regarding Lewy but selling him to Bayern this summer is not an option.

Bayern would have wanted to let Gomez go and take Lewy. Bayern can't do that now which means they now have a world class striker on the bench who doesn't fit their system and desperatly wants playtime in the season before WC (I imagine).

They also just don't have a replacement. Schieber is shit. They need another striker no matter what and there is just no striker on the market to replace Lewy which BVB can afford (or wants to pay for).

Maybe he will join bayern next year but one year is one year and imagine BVB last year with Schieber and another random striker. Dortmund wouldn't even be a topic internationally.

Ruddy would be an idiot to leave Norwich for any sort of money at Chelsea. He made the England squad just playing at Norwich alone, so I see completely no reason to leave them to become Cech's backup.

Agreed, there's absolutely no reason for Ruddy to go to Chelsea. Except the delicious money, of course.

So... maybe BvB should exchange Leandowski for Gomez + some cash?
