about germans:
"they are cold, you can´t do anything about it."
about his dortmund teammates:
"since i´ve joined dortmund no teammate has invited me to his home for dinner."
then actually some nice words about the comparisons to lewandowski, his relationship with klopp and about dortmund´s relegation battle.
at the end he complains that bild (the newspaper) hates him and dortmund because they are located in munich (they are not ^^).

Sounds like Dortmund is screwing him up.
It's funny to see articles about how he's flopped in Germany when it's practically a better league than Serie A at this point, plus the whole team is going to be relegated. You don't go from one of the top scorers in a "defensive" league to someone who doesn't score in an offensive league without reason.
Obviously it's not just an Immobile problem.

that no team mate invited me comment kind of holds weight. maybe dortmund players arent as friendly and united as before.
i mention this because ashley cole complained about the same thing when he left arsenal to chelsea. he said after vieira and i think one of their other legends left, none of the teammates hanged out outside of training, where is when vieira was around, all the teammates would go to his house every week to play snooker.
maybe after lwendowski and gotze left. they lost 2 players that were social and charismatic.

Lol everything with you is about the league. What about all the Serie A flops that succeeded in Germany from Boateng, Behrami, Jedvaj, even Donati got his fair share of play time. Ramos had 16 goals last season too in Buli. Serie A is defensive for teams like Juventus, not for Torino. Torino are the ones who are playing defensively. Immobile sucks against teams who sit back and absorb pressure, and Dortmund's technical ability is exposed, as they're just pace whores. In Champions League where Dortmund plays like a small team, he plays well.
Like someone said, he can be a big fish in a small pond, but he'll never be able to take a team to the top.

It's not all about the league for me, you are basing that off of a couple recent posts. But yeah, the league is in turmoil, no denying that. I've been watching it since 1993.
Those are strong words for any player, let alone Immobile. "Take a team to the top." How many players in the world can do that? Maybe 2?
For obvious reasons, people here hate Immobile just because he isn't on Juve. If we did have him, then everyone would be loving him. That's just the way it goes.

Immobile is good when his team wins the ball back deep in their own half and he has a full field to exploit. He is a classic counter attack player, nothing modern about him.
He is not good in possession and he is not good when Dortmund wins the ball back high up the pitch in tight spaces and they need technical ability to then bring the ball out of the tight space.
It was obvious he would face some challenges with BVB.

You can point out where is it you're disagreeing with me. As for Immobile's qualities, seeing more than a few of Torino's games last year I got an impression that he might be a decent bench option, but never to possesses enough quality to warrant starting place here or at any top club for that matter and certainly not the player you'd lose your sleep over. He's way to limited and doesn't even excell, or doesn't make the most of the only quality he possesses, off the ball movement. His finishing is sub par.
There was never a single doubt as to why Conte and later Allegri preferred to buy Morata instead of bringing him back.
