Bitter Dortmund

[Blue Smarties]

They knew exactly what they were doing with this subtle dig... At least he didn't go to Bayern though, eh?

Gündogan moves to Manchester City

Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund and Ilkay Gündogan will go their separate ways in future. The midfielder, who is currently suffering from a knee injury, will leave the eight-time German champions in the summer to join Manchester City, who finished fourth in the English Premier League last season, on 1 July 2016.

Hummels gone, Gundogan gone, Aubameyang linked with leaving.

Just another Bayern Munich feeder club with a chip on their shoulder.

We have nicked one of their best players,no need for the bitter bit though

no problem with it really. must be a nightmare as a dortmund fan, with all their fantastic support, to see their star players consistently cherrypicked.

They got £21,000,000 for him, I wouldn't call that "nicked"!

Agreed. If we lost Merlin, Kun and ginger Kev, we'd be sore as well. Mind you, they don't call us the Bitter Berties for nothing!

Yeahhhh they were Europa league quaterfinalists while we were CL semi finalists and they lost to the club that finished 8th in the BPL.

They aren't or weren't a top club. Just a club on the rise. You cannot expect a club to be able to hold all the top players if you aren't one of the clubs on top of the food chain and do not pay the biggest wages or are able to guarantee trophies. And Dortmund just started to be out of the debt again after they had a real great time around the 2000 but that did not go hand in hand with managerial greatness. They need to keep working the way they did the recent years.

It is not just Bayern Munich - Kagawa went to United, Sahin to Real Madrid, Gündogan now to you. The players that left to Bayern would have left to one of the bigger and better paying clubs anyways.

Have I missed the many "sorrys" people offered for the other clubs in Germany that are the "feeder clubs" for Dortmund?

Gladbach just lost Harvard Nordveit to West Ham, Xhaka to Arsenal - and that is probably not the last one they will loose this summer... . And it is not the first season it is like this. They lost Reus to Dortmund, Dante to Bayern, Neustädter to Schalke, Ter Steegen to Barcelona, Kruse to Wolfsburg...

They must have been really gutted about Dante.
