BVB General Transfer Thread III [R]

Wait. What "position" is BVB in? Lewandowski hasn't left yet. He isn't injured.

Even if something like that does happen, BVB is betting they can do something with Julian Schieber. Schieber may not be Barrios, but he's not chopped liver either. He is one of the top rated young German strikers.

Also, if Lewandowski does leave, there's the money that will come in for him and a transfer period to do something with it.

And if Bayern keeps talking the shit they do, some guy named Mario Gomez might be available.

You guys are really getting ahead of yourselves.

No Barrios was not "as effective" in his great season as Lewa was last season. Lewa's overall game is better than Barrios'. Barrios couldn't deal with that and asked to leave. And believe me, I was and still am a Barrios fan. My last BVB shirt bought had Lucas' name and number.

However, I can clearly see Barrios wasn't as good as Lewa.

Barrios also made it impossible for BVB to keep him around.

I can't see where anything has happened to make anyone with a rational mind even consider selling Barrios "a mistake."

This reminds me of the f#cking bullshit we heard for a lot of last season. How it was such a "mistake" to have let Sahin get away.

That was bulls#it and so is this.

I laughed at people who wrote us off because "We'd never be the same without Sahin."

We weren't the same. We were better!

We won a title without Lucas Barrios doing jack shit. We'll be fine now that he's gone.

Dude, I expect silly stuff from "BVB1989." He doesn't know any better. I'm surprised this stuff is coming from you.

This is why BVB worked hard to keep Santana around. Santana is the player they knew we couldn't afford to let go.

 

I've called for us to get Volland and have written the club about it more than five times. Maybe not ten.

I'm all right with having Scheiber right now. I think Schieber is the better guy right now, but I believe Volland is going to be the better player in the long run.

Spot f#cking on.

Dude, you haven't been here long enough to know the guy is going to say silly shit quite a bit?

 

I have only got to see him play a few times (on downloads), but he seems to be the real deal.

People believe the purchase of Julian Schieber is why BVB sold Terrence Boyd. I don't think that is the only reason. I believe the major reason is BVB management believes Ducksch has the potential to be our top striker down the road.

I also believe Schieber could even be a "filler" until Ducksch is ready.

Just my opinion though.

 

I meant to mention this and forgot to. Thanks for the catch!!

 

I'm sorry for my irriation during the response.

You're leaving out one word on what I said about Schieber.

I said one of the top-rated YOUNG German strikers.

Key word being "young." And that, he still is. At least I still consider 23 to be "young."

Don't forget, Julian Scheiber was well on his way to a national team call-up at Nuernberg until he was forced to return to Stuttgart. If we can get Schieber back to his Nuernberg form, we will be in good shape.

I think it helps that we have one of Schieber's FCN teammates on our squad. Ikay Gundogan.


I agree to disagree with you on Barrios. Only time will give us that answer. I do know this. I'd rather have that Barrios transfer fee money in the bank and Schieber on our bench than an annoying, disgruntled, big-mouthed, self-centered and frankly f#cking whiny Lucas Barrios on our bench.

 

What?? Really???

Dude, what CL experience does Lucas Barrios have that any of our other strikers doesn't have??

Barrios was there for the failure just like the rest of them. His "experience" didn't help then.

And guess what? Scheiber actually has slightly more CL "experience" than Barrios!

Schieber has played in 6 CL matches, including 3 qualifiers with Stuttgart. Barrios has played in 3 CL matches.

Where Barrios does have Schieber beaten "experience-wise" is the Europa League. Barrios has seven appearances to Schieber's one in that competition.

Now, are those differnces really great enough to make any real difference??

I don't see where Barrios has any "experience" advantage over Schieber.

Hell, Barrios even only has 5 more Bundesliga appearances than Schieber does. That "advantage" for Barrios will be erased this season.

What's more, Schieber has made his appearances for two different clubs.

Am I saying Schieber is a better player than Barrios? No. Barrios is definitely better than Schieber. Far better.

However, Barrios wasn't happy to be in Dortmund as the #2 striker. He wasn't happy and he created distractions by bitching and crying in the media.

Schieber is happy to be in Dortmund as #2 and potentially heir apparent to Lewandowski.

That's the major difference for me. I still love Lucas Barrios myself. However, I know what he did and I know exactly why he's no longer in Dortmund. And I'm fine with it.

 

The difference between Scheiber and Barrios isn't so great that we needed to keep an unhappy player who was causing distractions.

We're not doing as well as we are because we are the most talented team in all areas. We do as well as we are because we're the most cohesive team.

We have the best team chemistry. Our guys truly get along with each other AND PUT THE TEAM FIRST!

Lucas Barrios quit doing this once he lost the starting striker position.

So no. I don't agree that it would have been best to keep Barrios around just because he's better than Schieber right now.

There are far more things to consider than "who is better right now?" The major thing being "who is better for THE TEAM right now?"

I believe between Barrios and Schieber, that answer is Schieber. Based on team chemistry issues alone. Not to mention that even if you take the Scheiber transfer fee from the Barrios fee, we still also made 4M Euros.

Which is what we paid for Barrios in the first place........

 

No real comments on this because it is far too soon for me to consider what BVB might do if the situation even comes to pass........

 

Another article attempting to link Robert Lewandowski with Bayern. Must be an international week.





I've heard some rumors from people after this one saying BVB is considering selling him during the winter break.

What a joke! I guess those people don't realize he has another season left on his contract after the current season.

Lewa will play out this entire season. If he doesn't extend with us, that's when we'll sell him.

If he has a season like he did last season, there will be a bidding war for his services. If Lewandowski doesn't extend, this is what he's counting on and this is what BVB is counting on.

Unlike Kagawa, Lewandowski is not tying BVB's hands. Kagawa screwed us out of millions when he decided he would only join Manchester United.

Robert Lewandowski did not say "I want to go to Bayern." He said he would leave that option open.

While many don't like that Lewandowski is really considering leaving, Robert Lewandowski is saying and doing all the right things to set BVB up to receive a huge transfer fee if he does leave. The only thing the guy has done "wrong" in my opinion is apparently agree to personal terms with Bayern if they can get a deal done with BVB.

Other than that, as far as I'm concerned, we can't ask for much more. The guy has every right to leave.

I'll only hate him if he joins Bayern or Scheisse.........
