SCHALKE what your mother gave you 2010/11

Thanks for saving us having to make a Schalke thread for next year

 

I didn't get to see any highlights. Other than the obvious they won thing, how did Schalke look in their first match?

 

hey everyone, from the USA forum here, due to Schalke's fantastic form, does he figure to step back into his starting role?

And how good is he? really. I haven't seen him play but once or twice. Is he really the "ultimate destroyer"?

 

I came over looking for the answer to the same question, but thought I'd add his name to your post for the sake of clarity. Hope you don't mind.

Any Schalke fans know about Jones' timeline for recovery? Is he training at all yet?

 

Magath was asked about Jones in todays press conference. He said that he is now starting to practice with the ball (instead of just running, rehabbing and doing cardio), but didn't give a timeline when Jones would be back on the field. Magath said this were Jermaine's own decision as the broken foot should be healed by now.

I think that Jermaine will be back playing in early or mid September, but that is just a laymans guess. I definitly don't expect him to play today and would be surprised if he plays next week.

 

rakitic possibly going to juve according to bild? i hope he stays with shalke and gets a chance to prove hmself to magaath..with that young german kid holtby pushing rakitic for playing time maybe this will bring the best out of him..btw from what ive seen of holtby he looks like a very good talent..

 

Seems like Moritz is doing a very good job so far.

Do u guys think he will start when Jones has recovered? I think it all depends on where Westermann will be playing

 

so what do ya'll think of both Jefferson Farfan and Carlos Zambrano? I've watched all three games for Schalke so far this season, and I think they're both doing pretty damn good jobs, but I would still like to get an idea from the true fans of Schalke, well let me know, thanks.

 

it seems like schalke is planning to cash in on rafinaha for 10 mios. IMHO rafinaha is worth more than tt

 

Because those two specific teams think they're the best thing in the world. They're arrogant. They're good, but still arrogant. No one should be arrogant like they are, the other mexican teams are ok, but not those.

 

slopy defending..

 

This is looking like a huge surprise...

 

Wow! I'd like to see Magath's face right now. )

 

no surprise if u were watching that match.
schalke was juz blindly crossing balls in the box.
freiburg look more dangerous at the counter than any of schalke's attack

 

and it's really no shame to lose to Freiburg. they have been the better team in each of their first 4 games except maybe the Stuttgart game. They even outplayed Leverkusen when they lost 0-5, if that makes any sense.

 

According to diverse sources, Schalke is in serious financial trouble at the moment (despite Gazprom's millions).

Well, I've already predicted this a few years ago...

 

Spread your lies around the world.

 

Grossmüller transfered to Montevideo.

 

Have to admit, that match was typical Schalke. REALLY need 3 points in Cologne (where they never seem to play very well) before getting into the tough part of the first round.
