"Yes. Jens Lehmann gave him a tip to watch Marco. Then Arsene called me," the Swiss coach told Bild.

However, Favre has not lost hope that he can keep the Germany international at Borussia-Park beyond the end of the current season.

"I know Arsene very well and told him the truth: Marco is a very, very interesting player. But I am coach of Borussia and want to keep him."

Good player. Very quick on the ball and genuinely two-footed.

Gazza M

more likely to sign him than gotze. havent seen enough of monchengladbach this season, but the germans seem to rate him very highly

Claudius

Wow. That's a convincing set of highlights. Will have to watch a few of his games.

3:36 made me laugh

Claudius

The boy commits his entire being - flesh, bone and soul - into his shots. I wouldn't want to be an opposing goalie

Captain

Suspect that alot of our signings will come from Germany for a while. Usually the fees aren't extortionate and they mostly don't have ridiculous wages so many players will fall inside of our price bracket. Seems that this new generation aren't adverse to moving abroad either.

Timbob

Where does he play?

Captain

I've seen him left and right but he plays through the middle sometimes apparently.

lorddulaarsenal

He's here, he's there...

Mello

And soon he'll have red hair!

Ljungberg 2?

Ricky1985

lorddulaarsenal

He's quick with the ball at his feet. Looks ljungberg like

Ricky1985

Haha, does that mean you've recently had it. Knew it was somewhere around this time. Happy belated birthday anyway! Was your twenty-eleventh weren't it? Or do we whisper things like that now.

Nov. 06 as my memory serves.

Reus is Rosicky fast before he got a flat tyre. Despite that comp, his finishing is only decent but he has two great feet, goes inside and out and can score goals. He's like a Hleb that isn't afraid to shoot; maybe more tenacious as well.

Ricky1985

As good a dribbler as Hleb?

Captain

Yep, yep.

Mello

with technique like that, if he's not afraid of shooting then i'm sure his finishing will get better.
