I don't understand the Dortmund players and why they have no faith in the club? Dortmund have a chance of establishing themselves as one of the top 5 clubs in the world. They have a recent champions league win, a good youth system, an excellent stadium, a great manager and a fantastic young team. Yet it seems in Germany itself they are not held so highly. Sahin, Kagawa, Goetze and now Lewandowski have/will all left. There are still rumours about Reus and Gundogan. The club are in a very stable position financially and could become a real force, because they are assured champions league football for the next few years, but the players don't seem to believe in the project.
As for Lewandoski, he was incredibly underrated up until the Madrid game where he scored 4 and now is vastly overrated. He is not on the same level as Zlatan. He even is not the level below as say Rooney (as an out and out striker). Would have been far better to sell him for 25 million even to Bayern and bring in Higuain. Lewandoski has been terrible this season and does not look bothered.
Also think Klopp made a mistake not bringing in a more creative player. The loss of Goetze was a big one and teams are going to come and park the bus against them. When this happens they lack the bit of guile to break those teams down. Ozil was the perfect and obvious signing. Aubmeyang looks good and could become the new central striker. Hoffmann looks very talented and will probably replace Kuba. They just need that extra world class player in the middle to really be a match for Bayern, Madrd and Barca. A players of De Bryune's level is not going to cut it they really need someone already world class. If Mata was available he would be the perfect option, even cup tied and in January. Usually it's better to go for the cheaper option, but Dortmund need a big name signing to give their players and their standing a boost.
