I guess that's very possible, we'll have to see who they replace them with if they do I guess.Quote:

You say that but their best player has gone to their rivals and this current team is probably on the verge of a break up. Klopp will have to rebuild a new team and do it again. It’s too short of a time frame to consider Dortmund as one of the elite clubs. They have/had an elite team but it all depends on what happens after that and if they can sustain the success.Quote:

So last year Dortmund sold kagawa to a bigger club, this year goetze to main rivals and lewandoski is likely to go too. Klopp sounds like perfect wenger replacement
There are bigger clubs out there and players will always be drawn to them. Dortmund will have to keep on plugging away until they a establish a long term reputation. The last 3 years isn’t enough to establish that and build a legacy.Quote:

Saying that, the sympathy for Dortmund; they're probably going to do the same to someone else. That's football...
Was surprised he stayed in Germany although I never thought he would be on his way to us! He is stll young enough to see out one contract with BM and then move I suppose.
Any players looking likely to leave BM? No doubt Pep will give the squad the once over when he takes the reins proper.
Still means that we need to make additions . . .70mi, yeah righ but if it were true I could do the lot o a package of Lewdo, Capoue and Isco. Still need a CB and GK. . .hmmmmm
Pep will walk the league with them next year.
