Bundesliga 13/14

I know you lads don't like Rapha, but he tweeted this -

Has there been reports of it, or is he bullshitting again?

edit: @bucky


Infact, they have been. I just looked it up on kicker.de. Would give much thought if it would be just Sky and Bild reporting, but the kicker article is pretty confident. Seems to be on the way out.

I just noticed Hoffenheim has a GD of + 1 despite scoring 70 goals this season :lol:

3rd best offense (behind Bayern and Dortmund), while being the 2nd worst defense (just ahead of Hamburg). You can say about that club what you want, but they are highly entertaining.
 
Braunschweig definitely down then. 3-0 Hoffenheim. Volland.

Lewandowski will finish as top goal scorer.
 
Harsh for Keller if true. He did fine job at Schalke. And Tuchel never coached such a club, real stars before. Im not sure about him.

Firminho owes it to himself to leave an ok Hoffenheim for a bigger team. What a player! 16 goals this season, 12 assists this seaon in the leaue alone.

Keller will always be just a good coach, never a top class one. Tuchel has the potential for that. It would be harsh nonetheless, though.

Firmino and Volland will both probably stay at Hoffenheim for another season and then move on.

Bloody hell :eek:

To think he's not at the world cup. Mental.

For me he will go this summer. He has a top class agent who got a clause with the new contract. Hoffenheim gets big money and he gets the spotlight he deserves. Dortmund and Schalke could be in, if Draxler goes for example.

I'd certainly replace Mkhitaryan with Firmino if given the chance. Don't rate Mkhitaryan that much if i'm honest.

I don't think Draxler will leave this summer, his season was too mediocre and has probably seen the interest in him decline a bit. I also think he would be well off to stay another season with Schalke.

Schalke could still be a good option for Firmino. Imo he is a better number 10 than KPB who then could play a bit deeper.
 
Tuchel at Schalke is very intriguing, he can do a great job with their squad. Looking forward to seeing him there, if true.

Dortmund ripping Hertha apart, I'm genuinely scared about the Pokal final. :nervous:

I agree. He could be this big transfer, besides Tuchel if true, that pushed the whole club. Schalke could be some force next season. In europe too.
They could be even in pot 1 for the CL. Have the european experience and fine last years overall in the CL.
 
Bayern looking to draw 0-0 to Stuttgart... basically an exhibition match for the new kits and Bayern's title celebrations.
