Bundesliga 2015/2016

Who's that with the ginger beard and mustache? He needs a hard slap.
 
Poor fella tweeted "I'll only be out for a couple of weeks"

btw, the new Nationalmannschaft's away jersey has been revealed:

..erm...
One of the ugliest jersey of all clubs and national teams I can recall.
 
More and more rumours about BVB's interest in Polish midfielder Bartosz Kapustka (18) who's playing for Cracovia Kraków. No idea where it originated from and how much truth is in it but I'm namedropping him here because he's going to be the next big thing from Poland imo.
 
Line-ups for today's game:

Hamburg:
Adler, Sakai, Spahic, Djourou, Ostrzolek, Jung, Kacar, Holtby, Müller, Lasogga, Ilicevic
bench: Schipplock, Diaz, Gregoritsch, Stieber, Olic, Drobny und Cleber

Dortmund: Bürki - Ginter, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer - Gündogan, Weigl - Reus, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang
bench: Weidenfeller, Piszczek, Bender, Subotic, Hofmann, Castro, Januzaj

No Marseillaise, but the French flag is present, but shouldn't the colours go from left to right? Not from top to bottom? :confused:

I read today that Kucharski met with Watzke, Dortmund's CEO, to clear the air after the Lewandoski transfer to Bayern. And Kucharski said he suggested Kapustka as a future signing for Dortmund in that conversation. One of the Dortmund fans on the Caf might know more about it.

Wow, impressive YouTube-wise. Based from the very little I've just seen he reminds me of David Silva.
 
@Balu yup, read about it as well.

@Kopral Jono he's got great vision and passing range, can dribble and isn't the slowest player either. Most importantly he's got the right attitude and doesn't seem to be injury prone.

Plus he's got amazing start to his NT career, 3 matches, 2 goals and an assist.

I don´t think much more is known about this topic as of yet. The only other thing I read is that Kucharski is currently his agent, but the player isa appearantly set to change the agency in the beginning of next year.

I have not seen enough of him to really judge him, but in terms of profile he would fit Tuchel´s ideas of the 8/10 positions which Kagawa and Gündogan normally play in. Given that Castro has shown to be more suited for the midfield roles on the flanks, there is technically a squad spot open, although I don´t see him as something like Gündogan´s potential immediate successor and more as a back up for our little Samurai. While we have with Christian Pulisic a highly talented youngster of a similar mould in our academy, I don´t see him featuring in senior football before 2017 because he certainly needs to buff up physically at first.

We have a good history with Polish players and the potential to become useful is certainly there, so it might be worth a shot.
 
Why oh why do we always suck versus Hamburg? Let's hope for the usual improvement the longer the game goes...
 
Seriously, how can you let Holtby score a goal :lol:
 
WTF happened to Hamburg? They have been great this season last season they could buy a win.. They have been great tonight, power and passion.

They always look like a top side against Dortmund. It's completely insane, it's like both clubs switch roles for a day. It has been that way for a few years.

Yeah this is the 7th game they win vs BVB in a row or something.. But I mean they have 18 points and have won 5 games this season last season they were dreadful and by no means is Labadia a great manager
 
I like Hamburg, I'm glad they are back on track. With their money and the amazing City in the background, I've always hoped they could become the third power the Bundesliga needs so badly.

Early to say, but they might be on the way.

The midtable teams in the Bundesliga are so close together, they can still easily end up in a relegation fight again. If only Dortmund stopped to gift them points all the time :mad:. fecking Hamburg.
