Schalke wasn't ever really challenging(besides that one year), as Bremen was a way tougher opponent. The problem does start with that rule of 50+1, cause no other team can compete with Bayern Munich(40 years success, Telecom, Adidas, Audi etc.) financially. And as soon as those teams become...

Well, that's probably because ever country but Germany allows foreign investors buying a club and using it as his toy. There'll be loads of money invested and at some point there'll be some rivalries. In Germany, there's the 50+1 rule which doesn't allow that(even though it's been tweaked...

We're still unbeaten after beating Hoffenheim 3-1. :nico: Lucien Favre now also ties Hennes Weisweiler with the 17th unbeaten game in a row. Will be an interesting week for us. First we're headed to Cyprus(Limassol) to try for another win in the EL and on Sunday we'll play at Signal Iduna Park...

Granit Xhaka's freekick against Hannover.

Bayern just thrashed Bremen 6-0, while Dortmund keeps on losing, this time 2-1 at Cologne. Gladbach(3-0 at Hannover) and Mainz(2-1 against Augsburg) are still unbeaten while the fourth unbeaten team(Hoffenheim) will play tomorrow at Hamburg. Should also be an interesting week for us, as we...

Well that was fun tonight, beating Sarajevo 7-0 and 10-2 on agg. Nice goal by Granit Xhaka as well.

It depends on what the asking price from Arsenal and Podolski are. If they're somewhat manageable we could try it. He's running a lot and has a huge left foot, scoring quite some goals. Though, he's limited technically and does make mistakes(losing the ball going forwards, missing a...

Won 3-2 at Sarajevo with crappy defense and a very good Branimir Hrgota. Here's his second goal.

Yes, Bayern's after Reus again, like they were before he joined Dortmund. Back then they even thought they had him, but Reus decided to join his home town team instead, after they(Dortmund) made some questionable moves behind the back of Gladbach, to get him. Anyways, I don't see him leaving...

Müller's 24 years of age and not a captain type of player. He's more of a buddy and funny dude but not the guy with the captains armband. Neuer could be an option but I don't really like a goalkeeper as the captain. Also, Löw said before the tournament that he'd only select players that...

Schweinsteiger, if he keeps on playing. He's already missed all of the friendly games and a lot of the qualifiers due to injuries. If not him, then I'd say either Hummels or Khedira. Hummels has the composure to do so and Khedira's a leader within the team and was the captain of the U-21...

Shaqiri would be interesting. He's a very fast winger that scores and assists some goals but still needs to learn when to pass and when the shoot. A bit selfish as well. Great pick, should be playing for the Selecao already. Though, he just extended his contract at Hoffenheim and would...

Hmmmm....from Iturbe to Cerci Don't like this Mercato and I really hope we're going for someone else.

Well, Podolski might not be technically gifted but you've got to give it to him in working for the team. He's tracking back quite a bit at that LW position and helping out defensively. Other then that, we'd need to score five a game to have a shot at winning. :lol2: That would be a great...

So we pay 25 mil and they can get him back for 20 mil? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Well, neither one of those two is a real CF. Though, Müller's doing a great job and could be the one going forward. I still think that Gomez will get his share of games as I doubt that Klose will keep on playing. Other then that, I think Timo Werner could be the future at that position...

We're playing more of a 4-3-3 or, like yesterday, 4-1-4-1 system during this world cup. Löw finally admitted that we need to be stronger in midfield and Kroos is playing more of a #8 then a #10 position. BTW: We've still got some younger guys coming in with someone like Timo...

Well, before Guardiola went to Bayern there was always talk about them wanting Favre and Schalke was also mentioned, given that they're always shakey at the manager position. This past spring there was also a random rumor about Manchester United and Olympique Lyon(think so) being interested...

Thanks Red for keeping everyone up to date with the scores. :tup: Best of luck to Aberdeen and would like to see them make it to the group stages. I'm also curious at who we(Gladbach) could potentially play during those playoffs. Really hope we qualify for the group stages, again lead in...

Thanks guys. Though, I'll keep my pants on. :lol2: We might go for another striker, as soon as we're able to unload Luuk de Jong and Peniel Mlapa. The signings of Hahn, Traore, Hazard, Johnson and Sommmer are really good and should help add some depth to our squad. As for the CL. I...
