Lucas Barrios

[Jumanji]

He's had two injury set backs and his confidence seems shot. He's now playing second fiddle to Lewandowski.

I'd rather blood someone like Guidetti in tbh for a 4th choice striker.

Although, in past seasons Barrios was very good.

0 in 12 this season.

1 start in the league, mostly off the bench late in games. He's only had time to manage 7 shots according to Soccernet.

So what is the story....why is he on the outs at Dortmund?

It seems to be because of Robert Lewandowski's emergence for Dortmund this season, he is up there with the top scorers.

I read the Bild article and was just gonna start a thread on this. But I have to say no thank you to Barrios. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a fine player and would be a great striker in the PL. But he needs to be a starter. He’s a great goal scorer but after the injuries he has had in the summer and Klopp being big fan of Lewondaski(spelling) its clear he has lost his confidence. He’s the type of player that needs to be loved and be nr 1 striker. He will not get his Dortmund place back because Klopp loves the pole. Move to sunderland would be great for him

Two years ago one of the most potent strikers in the Bundesliga, came back injured after the world-cup and hasn't really had a look in since then. Dortmund have better options. He's a bit of a mardy-arse as well. Mario's back in 3 games, how long did it take Dzeko to settle after arriving in January?

Sounds like a waste of time

you are wrong, he looked very good last season and was Dortmund top scorer with 16 league goals in 29 starts. It was last summer when he went to copa america while being injured and still played to make the injury worse. then he had couple of set backs last few months and recently came back. he only started 3 games this season and had to be on the bench as Lewandowski has been in great form and you cant drop a striker thats scoring for fun. He is class player

Bloody hell, he's gonna get crucified on here if he's managed seven shots and not scored.

Seeing as most of blue moon think our strikers should be scoring 2 goals for every shot :p

Dortmund want to hold on to their stars.

Dortmund want to hold on to their stars.

Hence why they're selling Barrios.
