His goodbye message:
I leave as a Player
But i remain as Fan.

Four weeks ago, if someone would have asked me if i was gonna leave this transfer period, I would have declared him to be crazy. Since today it is reality, and to be honest - I'm still a bit speechless.

Over the last years i could have joined other clubs. Each time, I decided to stay with my youth club and categorically excluded a transfer within the Bundesliga, with conviction. FC Schalke 04 was more than just a stop for me. Since 2001, the club has been an essential part of my life that I have unconditionally trusted, as a fan, a youth player and as a professional.

In recent weeks, this trust has been put to test several times. Being Captain is only a part of it. Travelers can be stopped, if you really want them to, but I am firmly convinced that the current solution helps us all: It helps the club to avoid discussion about my person week in week out, and it helps Myself to start a new, unstressed chapter in my life.

My biggest wish is that FC Schalke 04 will play a successful season and will be back in europe next season. If i find the time, I will be at the stadium as a fan and keep my fingers crossed for my old team mates. Just as i did against Mainz, just as every coworker, acquaintances and the club environment deserves it.

I leave as a player, but I remain as Fan.

once Schalker, always Schalker!

Benedikt Höwedes made more interceptions (119) than any other defender in Europe's top 5 leagues last season.

This signing, like the Matuidi one, is getting Juventus plenty of kudos all over social media from fans of other clubs and various football journalists.

yeah, obviously a great signing. the start of the summer was a disaster with bringing in MDS, Costa, Sczcesny and Alves, Bonucci departing, at that point I was sure that even Allegri cannot fix this. but Beppe clearly stepped it up bringing Berna, Matuidi and Howedes while selling Lemina and Rincon for good fees, feel much calmer now. If only the first part of the summer never happened :p
