So Christoph Kramer is coming to Gladbach on a 2 year loan from Leverkusen. I watched 5 or 6 of Bochum's matches this season and Kramer was pretty good. Of course that's in the 2nd division. Let's see how he does in the Bundesliga. He recently turned 22. He is still young and developing his game. I think it is smart business from Favre and co. Eberl is hyping him up. He scored this goal a la messi last year
Watching Kruse play for you guys next year will be a lot of fun. Such a versatile and tactically flexible player. That attack trio behind the striker will be pretty well stocked next year with Kruse, Arrango, Herrmann, Younes and Hrgota, and if LdJ still can't find his scoring boots than Kruse can just take over up top where he was brilliant for the NT against Ecuador. Love that signing.
Amen to that Its great to hear that am not the only one thinking like that regarding Kruse! As for LDJ...i hope we can get a descent sum of cash if he continues to perform weak and the club decides to give him his marching order.Thats the most important thing regarding DJ www.fotobahn.com
And *that's* why Gladbach fans are a little concerned about ter Stegen. He's still a great keeper, but he's had a few brain f*rts this year.
I am really happy that ter Stegen "scored" an own goal. You should see it from another angle: There were rumors that ter Stege might leave to Barcelona (the rumors came from Spain) and hope that this doesn't happen by now. Ter Stegen might not be that stable, but he's only 21 and to sign a good replacement for him will be very difficult. I hope he stays in Mönchengladbach!
I do not believe that a post season friendly will have any influence pro/contra ter Stegen to Barca.. Personally I hope it's just media rumors right from the beginning. We all know the business but ter STegen isn't ready for a European power house yet. Stay 3 more years, then you can leave to Barca
My friend just told me that Ter Stegen is going to FCB. According ''Sport''.http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-fichara-ter-stegen-cedera-mnchengladbach-2410808
The article (if true) states that the transfer would be next season at the earliest (i.e. Jun 2014), as their current keeper is still under contract and wants to play for one more season--and ter Stegen needs more expericence. The article also notes that a lot can happen between now and then. So he's a target to be sure. But teams do not always get everything they want.
I think it's just a answer about time when we've seen a new article about this. Probably Ter Stegen is a potential goalkeeper for the future, but I think as you said that he needs more experience.
De Jong, Herrmann, Mlapa, Jantschke playing today. An interview with them ahead of the game : http://tv.dfb.de/index.php?view=5978
I hope Max & Co understand Stegen's worth and importance for this club.Id throw everything they got at him in order to keep him her at the PARK.Its tough to compete with Leeches such as FC HOllywood and Barcelona..but Stegen has a soft spot for Gladbach so maybe if they can work something out and convince him he would stay longer at BORUSSIA www.fotobahn.com
Since we are now in the "silly season", I'm going to start a new thread for the new season. Move there please.
I attended that game ... and when I saw that sensational goal, I thought "Hmm, not bad for such a beanpole".
Guys--let's move over to the *new* team news thread. Since I'm not a moderator, I can't close the old one.
