Strengths

First and foremost, Reus has astonishing speed. Even though he plays in the Bundesliga - one of Europe's top leagues which has many fast players - it is impossible to ignore his electric pace and acceleration. Just like Marin, it is very typical to see the young midfielder run with the ball at his feet with opposition defenders trailing in is wake.

Not only is Reus a very fast player, he also has great technique. He controls the ball very well with both feet, has a great touch and excellent dribbling skills. A lot of his goals have come at the end of impressive solo runs where he combines his high speed with his top-class technique.

One aspect of his game that Reus has improved upon is his finishing. He scored eight goals in his first season in the Bundesliga, a handsome return for a midfielder, and he currently has a tally of five goals in 15 games this season. Reus has a very accurate shot and he is extremely dangerous in the box, not hesitating in the slightest in one-on-one situations.

Another of Reus' strengths is the fact that he is not a selfish player, quite the contrary. Reus uses his skills to create a lot of chances for his teammates – so far he has set up six goals this season.

He displays great team work and will always look for his teammates rather than try to go it alone.

Monchengladbach really reaped the benefits of the investment made in Reus as Marin's successor. The two players were found to have a lot in common, but the fans and the club directors were probably happy to find that unlike Marin, Reus' defensive work is very good – a very important attribute for a midfielder.

Another advantage of Reus is his versatility. Most of the time he plays as right midfielder, but he can also play on the left. Furthermore, thanks to his great attacking attributes, he can play in a more offensive role as an attacking midfielder on either side or even behind the strikers – a role he usually played when he was younger.

Weaknesses

So far, Reus has proved to be a genuine Bundesliga player, but it must be stressed that he is still only 21. He needs to gain more experience in order to improve his decision-making and ensure that he will be able to cope with the ambition of a big club in Germany.

Another aspect of the game that Reus needs to improve upon is his physical strength. As he is not especially tall (1.80m,) and plays in a league that is physically demanding, Reus must get stronger in order to be able to cope with well-built defenders common in the Bundesliga. If he works on this side to his game, he will get even more versatile and won't rely on his speed as his only weapon against them.

Mentality

Despite his young age, Reus is demonstrating real maturity. He hasn't had any disciplinary problems and he is well liked among Monchengladbach fans and his teammates alike, probably a result of the huge effort he puts in together with his modesty and his great team work.

Another estimable side to Reus is the fact that he is very consistent. Even though he is very young and his team is far from firing on all cylinders, he keeps improving and is becoming one of the team's leaders. While a lot of people in Germany thought he was a transient phenomenon and refused to get exciting by his great debut season, Reus has proved that he has real talent, continuing to show his superb skills week after week this term, too. Nowadays, doubters of Reus' potential are hard to come by.

Current situation

Reus' team, Borussia Monchengladbach, are having a terrible season and are bottom of the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, Reus is having a great season, scoring five times and providing six assists so far. No one will be surprised if Monchengladbach end the season in the same place, and it is likely that Reus will leave at the end of the season to a bigger team in Germany, even though he has a contract until 2015.

At present, Reus is certainly in the best form of his career, and it appears that he also has bright future for Germany's national team.

Whoever does decide to buy this great player will need to part with €5M-7.5 million – but it will be money very well spent indeed.

A German friend of mine once said that all German players except Marco Reus are overrated, including Mario Gotze. I guess that's positive..

How many of these players are actually considered "world class players"? And would get in to the best teams in the world? Answer = None, Zero. You guys signed Vucunic, Vidal, and Lictchstiner as your marquee signings?:lol: And hired a serie B coach, lol. Whilst Chelsea's are signing Modric, Mata's, etc Barca Sanchez, Fabregas, Madrid, Sahin, Contreao, etc Man city Kun agueros, Even Liverpool managed to sign a world class player in Suarez, whilst you sign the Gianncerhis (spelling) of this world, god you suck:lol::tup:

If there's one German player I would love to see at Juve, it's Gotze. We should pick him up when he only has 1 year left on his contract. Ozil-Sahin-Vidal style.

But 5m for Marco Reus is worth the gamble for me.
Where did you get 5M. ?? No we'll be able to sign him for that amount .

From that report DelSing posted, but maybe his value increased. If he really is available for that amount, he would be worth the gamble. For 10 or more it's maybe too big of a gamble.

Apparently we are in for Reus.
:tuttosport:

Very similar to Podolski's style. Shoots with power and nice dribbling skills.
I wouldn't compare him to Podolski.

Podolski is a very one dimensional player, who is primarily based on having a rocket of a shot and is basically a striker playing wide.

Reus is a more complete player, with more intelligent movement and link-up play. He's the best inward looking winger Juve have been linked with (other than the completely ridiculous ones like Nani).

I´d be super happy with either Reus or Marin, Marotta better hurry the fuck up

Though Bundesleague has passed serie a in the rankings, we and other leagues still raid their best players. Only munchen seems strong enough to keep the players.

I'd prefer Reus over Marin, but how much should he cost? 10, 15, more?

I hope these rumors are true and not just something the papers invented because he scored 2 goals and earned a penalty vs Wolfsburg.

:D

why do you care so much, you ain't even a Juve fan :p

-------------

latest, fresh from the bakery:

Juve are about to sell Bonucci and possibly Pepe, as well, to Zenit and get Bruno Alves + money in return. If Pepe goes to Zenit, the money could be used towards signing one other CB, someone cheaper than Alex, like Lugano for example.
