Bundesliga 16/17

Beautiful goal.

'Let's play Kagawa on the wing to cross the ball to Fellaini' - David Moyes 13/14

jones

Playing Kagawa on the wing was actually a masterstroke by Fungus before Moyes ever thought of it. Was blindingly obvious that he'd be a failure in a 4-4-2 too

Klaus

Kagawa is such an awesome player.

Mkhitaryan is an excellent player. He's a pacy player wide who really plays incisive passes.

Can play anywhere behind the forward.

Some other Bundesliga players impressing me-

Dahoud- Xhaka's partner. Great decision making and technical ability.
Julian Brandt- Awesome touch and looks like he's adding goals to his game.
Kramaric- For a forward he's got really good technique. Don't know why Leicester haven't given him a chance because he's been sensational for Hoffenheim. Leicester have got a good set of young players in him, Gray and Chilwell.
Thorgan Hazard- Plays quite a bit like his brother. Needs to add more goals. Gets a fair few assists.

Mentioned Brandt here. He's now scored in 5 league consecutive league games and has single handedly got Leverkusen to touching distance of assured CL football. For a team with a modest budget they have a fair few good players- Leno, Chicharito, Brandt, Bender, Kramer, Calhanoglu, Bellarabi and Kiessling.

They don't really have a modest budget, at least not compared to other Bundesliga teams. They spend usually pretty sensibly but they are bankrolled as well.

Gunner89

They have far less money than Bayern, Dortmund, Wolfsburg and Schalke.

jones

Bayern obviously. Wolfsburg yes although even they have to return parts of their money to VW as their DoF announced this season. Dortmund have overtaken them just in recent years. Schalke are the bigger club but they don't have more money than Leverkusen.

Savz

Schalke don't have as much money as Leverkusen? Explain that part please.

I only ask because this time last year Dortmund and Schalke were the only two German clubs aside from Bayern to be in the money league.

Deloitte show Schalke as being ranked 13th in the world for football incoming.

You don't really follow the Bundesliga do you?

Schalke have much more money and have invested much more.

Oh, oh. Telling Jonesy there is a league he doesn't really follow cannot end well! 🙂

Especially when it's his home League and he actually knows more about it than most of us put together!

Yeah, I trust his insights on Bundesliga more than those ignorant rumours.

(1st and 2nd go up directly, 3rd place enters Relegation Playoffs)

Freiburg 66 Points +34 goals
Leipzig 63 +21
Nurnberg 59 +27

Leipzig moved from 1st to 2nd in the last few games, although I'm still certain they'll be in the Bundeliga come next season. scenarios are pretty straightforward. Freiburg need another win, while RB needs 2 then they’ll both go up no matter what Nurnberg do in their last 3 games.

Gunner89

That top talent of yours seems to be on the bench for a 2nd division team.

Gunner89

Brandt with another yesterday. 6 league games in a row he's scored now.

First player in more than 35 years to do this in the Bundesliga.

I know. If it’s one thing the Bundesliga 2 is not short of, it’s young talent.

Leipzig just so happen to play with 1 main striker, and they have 2 good youngsters up front, Selke and Poulsen.

First U20 player.

Aubameyang has already broken the overall Bundesliga record by scored in 8 consecutive games this season.

Savz

Aubameyang on 8? Gerd Muller has 16.

Muller - 16
Vardy - 11
Messi - 21

Messi is an animal
