Well you lacked the dynamism of those two even in the Gladbach match for me. Gladbach were just very poor. Stuttgart played without fear from what I saw. Difference today is the midfield was poor. I am not a fan of the false 9.Rotweiss said:Stuttgart were good throughout the whole match and deserved at least a point tonight.
We didn't look as good as against Gladbach and you could clearly see the absence of Ribery and Robben. Credit to Stuttgart though, they gave it all they've got and it was a great game.

Dortmund need to sign somebody and Holtby would be the best bet. If things work out well then they could use him to replace Gundogan.

Dortmund's managers may have done a good job financially, but they are clueless when it comes to combining the two. The team are low on confidence as are the fans. They have a lot of injuries and they need a boost not just a player. Signing Holtby somebody the team are familiar with would have given them that extra boost. Holtby could also be the replacement for Gundogan is he leaves. He is used to the Bundesliga and won't have any adjustment time.Ruhr said:supercrystal7 said:Do you think anything will happen in the transfer window?

no, Holtby was offered by his manager everywhere, but it looks like he stays in England. BVB seems to sign serbian Talent Milos Jojic. That is all
Holtby was just 22 when he left and a starter for a top 4 club. How can you say he did not make it in Germany? He has German caps and is a recognised name. BVB fans won't like him just like they don't like Gundogan or Lehmann. Holtby comes in and does a great job and then the fans will love him.Ruhr said:Holtby didn´t made it in germany, he didn´t made it England and as a former Schalke player BVB fans don´t like him. He is no boost.
Which is usual for most youngsters. It's when they it 22/23 they need to start stepping up and performing like that on a regular basis. Holtby is still far too young to right off. He made a bad move, when he should have stayed at Schalke, especially because they had a great chance of making the CL final. Would much rather take Holtby than Sahin.Ruhr said:As a Schalke fan i rate him on his time at Schalke. He was a solid player, not more. He once was one of the biggest talents of his generation, but while others of his age are playing for germany now, he is farer away from that than ever before. He simply isn´t forceful enough. A good match of him is followed by 3 or 4 average ones.
