Boateng looks done, Müller needs to bring some argument to the table that isn't 2010/14.
Hummels I think he might be wrong.

Much more interested if he finally demotes Neuer. Ter Stegen has carried Barca probably more than messi recently while Neuer continues to look very average

e: actually I know, he won't which annoys me already

I think Muller deserves to be around the team for what he has done and can still be that poacher to throw on in the last 10 minutes no? I think Boateng is gone but probably not Hummels he was pretty decent against Liverpool at least but i have not watched him other than that!

But yeah mainly Mr Low needs build the team around Ter Stegen, Sule, Kimmich, Sane + Werner. This needs to be the backbone and then you add in the likes of Rudiger, Brandt and that special talent at Leverkusen in Kai Havertz!

Ok nice, i just depressed myself. I thought Germany would be in a pit for a few years, struggle at Euros and the next World Cup like they did this one. Alas, those players i listed are all under 24 minus ter Stegen who is 26 lol. Dammit

Also, this is probably the time to introduce new core players. As long as they don't completely fall apart in the qualifiers, the team doesn't really need to peak until Euro 2020.

I like that Löw is actually doing something but I feel like especially Müller is a pretty ballsy call considering that he is pretty good right now and someone who keeps the morale up in the locker room.

No clue though why Löw made it so final that they are gone. They are not that old and (for example like Müller currently) might still regain some of their form. Also it's not like we have that many CBs currently or options in the offensive. Need one injury on Süle or Rüdiger and Löw will probably have to reinstate one of Boateng/Hummels.

Alas I'm happy that Löw isn't just going for the status quo again. Let's see how it plays out

tfw you have so many players that you can leave Muller and Hummels out of your team bc you look at the future

Playing for Stuttgart in their fight against demotion from Bundesliga.

Well.... playing.... He played some games early in the season, then got injured again, since then he is always benched.
