Nach Recherchen des kicker sieht Borussia Dortmund im Winter keinen Handlungsbedarf auf dem Transfermarkt. Nur für den Fall, dass noch ein Spieler abgegeben werden sollte, bessert die Borussia nach. Ansonsten vertraut der BVB darauf, dass nach Sokratis auch Marco Reus und Henrikh Mkhitaryan zum Rückrundenstart am 31. Januar 2015 bei Bayer Leverkusen wieder an Bord sein werden. Source: http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/wechselboerse/2014-15/transfermarkt.html This team's going to end up playing in the relegation playoff. Callin' it here. If anyone in that organization thinks this defense is any good as it is (even with Sokratis back), they are out of their fucking minds and are utterly clueless. | ||

After announcing the signing of Brek Shea from Stoke City, OCSC head coach Adrian Heath told SBI the club is in the process of acquiring more players in the coming weeks, suggesting they will come from abroad. “We’re still working on the finishing touches with the team, so we’ll look to add 3-4 exciting international players in the coming three weeks,” said Heath. “They won’t come from Europe, but from South America, so it’s just a matter of time until our supporters receive these nice gifts for the holidays.” Reports earlier this month indicated that 20-year-old Carlos Rivas from Deportivo Cali has been linked with OCSC, and club majority owner Flavio Augusto Da Silva told SBI in November that the Lions were in discussions with a “Colombian talent.” Heath wouldn’t confirm if one of the the approximately four players were bound to fill Orlando City’s third and final designated player slot. Meanwhile, OCSC general manager Paul McDonough also confirmed the move and didn’t rule out if Rivas was among that group of players, stating that they’re coming soon. Source | ||

If anyone in that organization thinks this defense is any good as it is (even with Sokratis back), they are out of their fucking minds and are utterly clueless. Since then we heard those two sentences Klopp after being asked if he can rule out any transfers: "We need reinforcements (after that he talks about the need for training but it does not sound as if he means reinforcements in form of injured players coming back)" Zorc: "I generally do not rule out anything. We have clear conceptions of what we want to realize." Watzke, Zorc and Klopp are going to be asked about transfers every day for the next 5 weeks. They'll make the same statement over and over again changing one or two words each time because they do not want to repeat themselves. Let's play a few matchdays of fpl and afterwards there might be news. I'd be shocked if there was anything new until new year. | ||

DeAndre Yedlin will join Tottenham in January after securing a work permit, according to Sky sources. The north London club announced in August that Yedlin had agreed a four-year deal to move from Seattle Sounders for £2.5m, but he did not meet the requirements to work in the UK. Yedlin, 21, subsequently pursued a Latvian passport due to heritage in his family but Sky Sports understands the player has been granted a Governing Body Endorsement and will not need the Latvian passport. | ||

Edit: Don Won Ji has left BVB, he is playing for Augsburg from now. I think this is why BVB is looking for one new player. | ||

Well, at least we know who will score against us when we play Augsburg... | ||

Yeah but probably 59 of Penaldo's goals were penalties. He's obviously shit compared to Messi. On December 22 2014 20:58 RvB wrote: He can just be honest. Everyone saw what happened anyway so why hide it. Because the team is probably as low on confidence as possible. Have you ever done something, and had no one, not a single soul, believe that you could do it? It's a shitty feeling. The players are getting endless shit from the media and fans. The last thing the players need is their manager doubting them as well. | ||

Either one would be a noticeable and immediate improvement. Without Reus, we have no quality on the left/center and we need some depth in the back 4 since it's playing so poorly. | ||

You are talking about stats, stats do not equal performance on the pitch. Anyone who has watched multiple Ronaldo and Messi matches over the year and says that Messi is better is either blind or Steveling. | ||

Well that's great because I didn't say that Anyone who thinks stats over a year (60+ games?) don't mean much is either the devil or got bullied by the math teacher in school. | ||

Fuckin' gettin' shit done. I thought we'd have to wait until the New Year to hear anything from BVB. Not a fan of yet another RW, and I honestly would've preferred some defensive depth, but it seems like he's also competent in the center, so that can help. | ||
