Rijkaard lost the plot. 

The squad Guardiola came in to coach was full of players who'd already won everything, as well as some of the finest talent in Europe. It was almost entirely complete.

Eto'o and Messi and Henry.
Xavi and Iniesta (remember Euro 2008 by the way?). 

Guardiola deserves a lot of credit for the likes of Busquets and Piqué. 

Watch out for Patrick Hermann. Seen him now in 2 consecutive games against Bayern and Dortmund and I'm really impressed. Dunno why there isn't any hype around him but he looks very good to me.

Tomorrow's Kicker reporting that Arsenal might be interested in taking Klopp this summer. Firstly don't think that will happen but Kicker is known to be a very reliable German paper, they aren't known to make up silly rumours.

It would be quite the shock if true.

They are not making silly rumours up, they're just connecting the dots. There are few clubs in Europe that would be of interest to Klopp and most of them would be in England. City apparently are hoping to get Ancelotti or Guardiola should either get the sack, Chelsea and United aren't looking. Leaving us and Liverpool at a stretch, and if it's between us and them it's clear which side he'd want to manage, all provided that we'd be interested/Wenger would be ready to leave obviously.

Wenger and Klopp double team?

Very unrealistic though, can't even think of many double managerial teams. There was the Daglish one at Liverpool and also Sweden with Lagerback

Sascha Lewandowski and Sami Hyypiä couple years ago at Leverkusen. Worked great at Leverkusen, don't think it would in the EPL.

Schalke have sacked Kevin Prince Boateng and Sidney Sam with immediate effect following an apparent disciplinary issue.

Midfielder Marco Hoger is also been suspended.

Wow, that's some news given that they are one of their best players.

Maybe based on reputation but Boateng has been a massive disappointment.

How's Sam been doing? He was pretty good for Leverkusen last year. Might be a decent free pickup? You don't see many players who can dribble well at top speed.

He has barely played and when he has he has been disappointing too.

To be honest, a lot of Schalke's struggles going forward have been down to Di Matteo and his negative boring playstyle.

He has been a poor appointment and maybe sacking Keller was not the best decision that Schalke board took at the beginning of thhis season.

Robben's new baby

All over twitter that Boateng and Lewandowski had a fight in one of the training sessions at Bayern Munich, players had to stop them. Sweet.

Boateng to Arsenal then.

Three youngsters in Germany:

Felix Passlack and Christian Pulisic are two gems at Borussia.
Niklas Dorsch at Bayern is a young CM who is turning heads.

There are fights in pretty much every club from time to time I reckon.

Post was from a year ago Rex. Savz just bumped an old thread.

Can not wait to see how RB Leipzig do in the Bundesliga next season. Davie Selke is one of my favourite young strikers around. Yussuf Poulsen is also a top striker they have.

RB Leipzig tonight!

And not a single fuck was given.

I kind of knew nobody would care about a 2nd division side from Germany. Wanted to ask just by the off chance there was someone interested. They are a team going places and I've been watching them this season whenever I can.
Either way I'll try to find a link for the stream and post it up.

Dortmund have 71 points from 30 games. Would currently be top in 47 of the previous 52 Bundesliga seasons.

Vidal the twat with a solid 8/10 dive yesterday

And Bremen had a perfectly legit own goal by Coman disallowed before that as well.

Oh wow

Only thing you need to know about RB Leipzig is they were founded in 2009. Fuck these test tube shithouse clubs and fuck every top flight player they're buying with big money when they still are in the second German tier (or were even lower than that).

Also Red Bull is a horrible corporation and the disgusting drink smells like cat piss

Hmm. Wasn't there some two-bit Swede playing for them last season? I don't remember who though... Was it Emil Forsberg?

That's the one.

Has he been any good? He was pretty highly rated at one point.

He's alright. Nothing spectacular. Probably their best attacking midfielder though.

I've seen him play for Sweden a few times, and he is a nothing player if ever I saw one. As depressing to watch as anyone else Zlatan has to play with. When the big guy retires Sweden will be totally unwatchable.

Leipzig if anyone cares.
