Gotze - signed for Bayern

And there blows the notion of FFP out of the water.

The clubs with less money can compete, they said. If only the books would balance, they could keep their players, they said. Eventually those teams would build in continued successes and challenge the elite, they said.

What an absolute load of shit. Here's Dortmund, picked apart like a rotting carcass.

if Gotze is singed for Bayern, that means he will probably play in the role behind striker, the role Toni Kroos plays in, perhaps we should go for him as he may not be happy playing second fiddle (and is an incredible player with an awesome shot).

They won't play a striker. "False 9".

Bye bye Gomez. Worth a punt?

and Mandzukic and Pizzaro? Why should Bayern abandon a style of football that has carried all before it this season and been arguably more effective than Barca's style of with 4-3-3 and false 9?

Remember this, Dortmund couldnt do anything about it, Götze had a release clause which evedently bayern triggered. I think we did aswell but he opted the german champions...
Dortmund will not sell any of their other players if they can say no, but if there is a release clause, and someone activates it, it is out of their hands.

the player still has to say 'yes', and to join your biggest rivals, and have it announced right before a CL semi-final game, makes you a twat.

Surely this would mean one of Ribery, Robben or Muller would then become available

 

[SuperYaya]

Well Bayern have a pretty impressive team then.

I'm guessing Robben. Can't see him fitting Guardiola's philosophy.

 

[kawkav]

According to the article Matthias Sammer called him "talent of the century"

I was wondering how many players I'll be able to name to top him.???

Gave up!............. don't have enough time, never mind we have only past 12 years of the this century

what a moron, really

 

[jauganaut]

Wow. Another few years of Pep-domination with another team.
With gotze they will have the best squad hands down, better overall than Barcelona(allowing some margin of error for messi magic)
When will we ever get a break?
On another note, I'm curious to hear what the "Dortmund are not a selling club" group of posters will say in their defence if this happens. Especially since they are selling their best player by miles to their current biggest rivals. How much more of a selling club can you be?
Hahaha

Mr. "100% impossible Gotze, Gundogan, Reus, and Draxler their clubs leave this summer" Nostradamus will be back soon to cover his tracks... no doubt saying Bayern bought Gotze the correct way unlike dirty moneybags City or something.

Every player has his price... especially when the club puts a stupidly low release clause in his contract!

BTW does Draxler have a release clause? Papadopoulos does allegedly.
