Would say very low. His a hometown boy from the youth academy, all be it he left and returned. I think he and Hummels will give Dortmund one last season to get their act together. He has a 30 million euro release clause that kicks in the summer of 2015. If Dortmund do not invest heavily in the summer, then h will probably leave then. I am a big fan of him too and think he would be brilliant in the City team.sam-caddick said:What are the chances of Reus leaving this Summer?
Being greedy here but I would love him to be a City player in the Summer.

I don't see Dortmund spending 20 million on a 29 year old striker and I am not sure Dzeko would tage the wage cut. With Aguero's injury problems and the number of games City play he is always going to get his fair share of matches.sam-caddick said:supercrystal7 said:Would say very low.

I love Edin but he will be 29 next season and maybe I would consider looking for a younger option, I know we are not a selling club but if around 20m came in I think City will take it, either that or part exchange plus cash with Dortmund for Reus.
I will be happy if Edin stays though, he does a job for us and will get us 20-25 goals in all competitions in a season.

Looks like one of the big guns will be going down: Stuttgart of Hamburg. If Stuttgart go then Werner has to be signed up by a big club. Wolfsburg Gladbach, Mainz and Leverkusen all fighting for fourth, whilst Schalke and Dortmund fight it out for second.

I wasn't clear on that line I meant lose Reus in the summer or maybe even January of 2015, because they won't invest properly. That's why I said this a little bit later on.bayern blade said:Hang on, you said one page back that it "looks like they will lose Reus". Tbf I don't think he will leave either.

I agree, which is why it's important to have the right balance in a squad.Maldeika said:I guess it is good to have different kind of strikers. But they have to live with not getting the full match time... That can be a big problem as strikers need to have the right mentality to be able to perform...
Shame for Hypia, but they have been awful since the winter break and now look like they will miss out on the Champions League, which would set them back massively.Ruhr said:and there it is: Hyypiä sacked as Bayer Leverkusen coach.
supercrystal7 said:Bayern finally lost today, though it appears they played a C team. I wonder if it would be considered a good season if they just won the league and lost the cup to Dortmund.

Nothing is impossible in football. I don't think Draxler is going to leave in the summer now (nobody seems to be in for him anymore) and he wants to be no10 (though he shouldn't be). Boateng no matter where he is told to play, ends up playing in that role. Goretzka is probably best there too. Something has to give or else the youngsters just won't fulfill their potential. Either Boateng or Meyer has to be sold in the summer and the money reinvested in other areas.Ruhr said:supercrystal7 said:Schalke are messing up with Meyer.

no.
Boateng is not fit enough to play 8. I missed the game yesterday so not sure how he played, but he just does not do the defensive work. Even when he is playing 8 he just leaves Neustadter exposed. A Goretzka/Boateng partnership is far too attacking in midfield and will only lead to more scorelines like you had against Madrid. If Boateng is going to play 8 then he needs to get fit and actually contribute defensively, which is something he has refused to do all through out his career and nothing suggest he will change. It's why Milan ultimately had to play him out wide.Ruhr said:Boateng was playing no 10 yesterday, as Meyer needed a rest. During the match he and Draxler decided to change positions with Goretzka, because Boateng felt much more comfortable on the no.8 position. And there he will play with Goretzka on his side next season.
It is Meyer or Draxler on no.10. And it is more likely that Draxler will leave. And Farfan.
Schalke´s plan is to attack BVB as No.2 in germany next season. Why on earth should we sell our biggest talent to Dortmund then?
