Well Celtic won't be playing in the Champions League. 5-1 behind now and their Away goals canalled out as well. Do they have a yard sale after this game?

I can't help but feel bad for Celtic fans. No CL and no Rangers for a whole year

Yea Dortmunds bitching is rather annoying especially after the Götze thing were they did exacly the same with Reus few years ago. Or the deal with Sokratis was also not really "clean" (Sokrates had a almost finished deal with Leverkusen but Dortmund jumped in last second).
Like every three days there comes something like "we cant win because they have so much money..." or "everything is so fantastic here because we are great without money..." blabla its not Bayerns fault that they cant hold their team together.

Not saying the Bayern officials are better, Rummenige is basically a walking phrase jukebox and attention whore. But he is pretty good at making sponsors happy, its not accidental that he says on the AUDI US tour "yea guys btw. Reus exit clause isnt that expensive *wink* *wink*".

First, the Reus transfer was completely different from the Gotze one, and that was covered many, many time when the Gotze transfer actually happened.

Second, it's not "every three days". You're just prone to gross hyperbole because it's criticism of your club.

Third, equating Bayern throwing competition-squashing levels of money around to buy up all good players in the Bundesliga (directly away from their rivals) to "Dortmund can't keep their players" is a bunch of BS, and that attitude is why Bayern has the worst and lamest fan base in the Bundesliga.

Klopp hits it perfectly (in german): Timing was stupid (they won the day after 4:0 against Real so i would say it wasnt too bad) but the rest is usual busines and he admits that they did the same with Reus and Gladbach most likely wasnt happy about it.

"every three days" is of course exagurated its more that i dislike how media anatomize every word and people whos job is to manage their club first and then talk.
Its more that i am a bit annoyed by the "we cant win anyway because of €€€" but thats something that is not Dortmund exclusive.

On this good old "buy up all good players in the Bundesliga" might think about it from another perspective:´Lets say it is true Reus has a 35 Million exit clause 2015 and wants to leave for titels, for the "bigger name" or for money and Bayern doesnt want him. There are like 20 clubs that would instantly pay that without thinking. So would you rather see Reus playing for PSG, Barca or Van Gaalnited or would you like to see him stay in Germany.
This isnt slavery just because Bayern wants somebody doesnt mean that he has to go there. And just because Bayern buys him means that he didnt wanted to go away in the first place. Or do you think Lewandoski and Götze would still play for Dortmund if Bayern didnt wanted them?

To be fair.. it really sucks for Dortmund, if Reus also joins Bayern next year, but you really can't blame them. Bayern would be dumb, if they don't take this opportunity to get (one of) the best german players of the last years for 25?mil.
The interview with Rummenigge gave me the impression, that they already have an agreement with Reus for 2015 (I might be wrong though).

But i don't really understand Rummenigge to make a statement like that. Reus is still a bvb player for at least one year.. why does he talk about his contract details now? That doesn't help anyone and puts the player in an unpleasant position...
