dunno. right now it doesn´t look like we are really pushing for a contract extension. i can see him leaving in january, maybe to arsenal?
would leave us a little light in attack, though.
i think we will reevaluate the situation in march or something and then either renew (or at least get into closing distance, as we did with pogba) or sell. i´m convinced he will stay.
- pirlo has a contract until 2016... no way we will kick him out imo, neither should we. after his injury he had some very questionable games but still was crucial for us.
- there are tons of younger CBs than barzagli but you probably can´t even find a hand full of CBs that have been doing better than him over the last 3 years. no reason to think he is done.
- i like gabbiadini but saying that you don´t want berardi and then play the stats card? come on... 19 goals and 13 assists in 2800 serie a minutes in a team that was destined for relegation...
furthermore, don´t forget that co-owns will end summer 2015. so we kinda have to buy him back. can´t see another zaza-type-deal happening here.

Geis is a huge talent and only 21 years of age.
Expect him to be in play when Dortmund(Kehl) and Gladbach(Kramer and maybe Xhaka) are searching for replacements in central midfield.
He's defensive mid that can control a game and passes the ball beautifully.
There's a reason it's called Golfsburg by everyone outside of that town.
They're backed by Volkswagen and are able to spend money they don't generate. And I'm pretty certain that no player goes there because of the atmosphere in the stadium(hardly ever sold out) or the beauty of the city.
BTW: Germany players not going abroad isn't true.
They go abroad but when they do it's usually to clubs like Real, or some team in EPL, cause that's where they can earn most while still having a shot at winning the CL.
Right now no italian team can offer that(thanks to the huge financial crisis and Serie A being down) and that's why it's hard to get one of them. I mean, during the 1980's - 90's, when Serie A was king, loads of Germans did play in Italy.
Tuchel turned down Hamburg, like every other sane person would've done.

The nerve on this guy 
They aren't paying wages like Juve. What is their salary bill? Yearly income? Are you telling us that Wolfsburg pays anually 170m for players salaries because that is what Juve pays? Ridiculous notion. Serie A >>>>> Bundesloliga. Even in recent times, when most Serie A clubs are struggling, Italian league attracts more interest abroad. Face it, other Bundesloliga clubs are merely feeders for Bayern. No interest there, whatsoever.
