Perhaps Pep has plans to convert one of Fred or Weigl into a different position like he did with masherano .

Heard he's been quite awful for a long time now though, would rather like Pep to find another guy
I thought he had been recovering from a long term injury, and I suppose he’s mirroring Dortmund’s form this season. If he’s class, he doesn’t loose that, so probably a great time to buy, and let Pep wave his magic coaching wand over him. Just look at what he’s done to some of our players? Delphi is now an awesome left back to name one.

Watched BVB's game yesterday on BT Sport and he wasn't great. Terrible pitch though.

According to transfermarkt.de last week BVB is considering buying a DM in the summer. They would like someone a bit more physical. They mentioned Leander Dendoncker, Fabinho, Asier Illarramendi and Emre Can as candidates. This implies to me that they are not entirely happy with Weigl. I also think we should think twice before signing him.

He doesn't suit the coach and the tactics, he was superb under Tuchel and would fit Guardiola's style like a glove.According to transfermarkt.de last week BVB is considering buying a DM in the summer.

Anything below 60m is a bargain imo. He is meant to play for pep. Hope we get him. We'll be set at the pivot for the next decade.
I think he had a purple patch great 1st season and hasn't pushed on from there. He is similar to Busquets, kinda. So everyone expects him to become as good or dominant from the DM position.
I haven't been impressed watching him since his first season. He is good, but not special. Reminds me a lot of Nuri Sahin. Who was spectacular in his breakout first season at Dortmund but never reached that height again.
I sense Wiegl will go the same route.

Didn't Sahin go to Real and immediately get badly injured? Little bit different if you didn't kick on because you were on a medical table for what should have been some of the best years of your career.
He had some injury issues. But even when healthy he simply couldn't consistently break into the team. But that's not a big deal, Real has always been stacked and you never know who's not going to make it.Didn't Sahin go to Real and immediately get badly injured?

But he couldn't really stand out at Liverpool either. We are talking about the best player in the Bundesliga in his final season at Dortmund. Just never caught that wave after that season.

Ah yeah forgot about that spell at Liverpool. Shame. Maybe if he'd stayed at Dortmund he would have turned out alright.

When you watch Dortmund there is only 1 player who will really impress you and he isnt Weigl

Too bad Reus is injured most of the time. Such a gifted player.
Pulisic is the guy who looks impressive. Reus is like Kompany. Doesn't plat enough in my opinion to be rated.Too bad Reus is injured most of the time. Such a gifted player.
