BVB Transfer Chat

[Catfish]

Well, I don't know what to make of Dortmund's transfer market options. They are dying financially and they only way to dig themselves out is to start winning. Is there any chance that they might ADD players, instead of selling them?

Who is on your wish list?

Don't have anyone in particular, but V. Marwijk could give Ricken a chance. I would love for Addo to be a success, and if Gambino wasn't hurt it would be nice to have him. I say we stick with this squad and just focus on avoiding the drop. A young team like this one that saves itself from such a situation is bound to be succesful in the future.
My wishlist: let's get away from the drop-zone with what we've got.

Keith's Response: As much as I hope we can move up in the table with what we have, I'm not very conifdent about it. This squad has the ability to move up the table, but I don't believe too many of them actually LIKE each other. That, mainly coming from the club's (Read: Matthias Sammer's) preferential treatment of some players over others.

I'd actually like BVB to start talking to players available on free transfers after the season in January to get some locked up.

The only player I hope they try to bring in during the winter break is Fredi Bobic.

We don't have a good "finisher" on our team. As much as Dortmund fans complain about the midfield not creating chances, those they do create are usually squandered by the finishing ineptness of Koller and Ewerthon.

Plus, Ewerthon has shown that he doesn't give a damn about the team. I'd love for BVB to try to sell him next month. I don't think they will, but I'd love to see it. He needs to go.

Thiago (young striker) and BVB have terminated their contract. The player is back in Brazil.

Keith's Response: As I said on the list, I thought maybe we killed him and buried him under the Rote Erde to keep from paying his salary! LOL!!

Too bad we couldn't sell him, but to me, Thiago shows what was wrong with this management team in the first place.

They were either too arrogant or too stupid to realize they needed help in the football trends and talent evaluation arena. They thought they could just outspend everyone for the big names and stay on top that way.

We're now learning what most of us knew when it started to go bad. It just doesn't work that way.......

I just hope the club doesn't wind up paying the ultimate price.

Keith's Response: Why don't you tell us about your Brazilian scoring champion who just signed before this season and is already telling everyone how he can't wait to leave Gelsenkirchen when his contract is up??!!

Of course, some of us already knew what kind of "s#!thole" you scum crawl around in over there.

You can dress it up with a new arena, but loser scum is still smelly, blue, loser scum.

Talk to me when you lift the Bundesliga Title or European Cup, not the UEFA Loser's Cup or the Irrevelant Pokal.

Just try to win something that freakin' matters!


TOR, TOR, TOR IN HAMBURG!! PATRIK ANDERSSON!! UND DER FC BAYERN IS DEUTSCHER MEISTER!!!!!!

Bring back any memories for you??

That was a very joyous day for me.........

"Meister der Herzen"?? Give me a freakin' break.

Second place is just first loser.

1958!!! 1958!!! 1958!!!!

Give it two seasons. You f&(ks will be right where we are now.......

Well balanced posting Keith....what more can I do than just agree? ;-)

And to the blue-white fraggles: This is BVB territory, so stay away and go to your own board! ;-)

My comments: Forgive my boldness, but we are going to make it. Albeit in the Intertoto Cup, but we are going to make it.

We'll finish in eighth place in the Bundesliga this season. I feel it.

you should FINALLY sell Rosicky. he´s getting worse and worse in Dortmund. he should never go there. spain or italy is place for him.

Petr, forgive me for disagreeing with you, but Rosicky did make the right decision when he joined Dortmund. Remember, in his first seasons, they did well in the Champions' League and won a Bundesliga title. However, at that time, no one knew that club management had gambled the club's very existence to support their way of running the club.

Sure, things look bad for Tomas in Dortmund now. You will see I'm one of the relatively few Dortmund fans who doesn't completely blame Tomas for this.

However, some of it is his fault.

If I ran Borussia Dortmund, I would have sold him before the start of this season. I feel his value was strongest after the Euro 2004 tournament.

I believe Dortmund chose to keep him because they felt they had a team good enough to finish this season in at least a UEFA Cup place.

I also believe Dortmund management underestimated how much previous coach Matthias Sammer destroyed team morale. I believe at the beginning of the season, Dortmund had a group of players who didn't trust in one another, or in some cases, didn't even LIKE one another.

New coach Bert van Marjiwik (BvM) is finally turning what's left of this group back into a "team".

Tomas Rosicky, for most of the season, has been one of the problems. However, I don't completely blame Tomas for this because I believe he is the player who was most damaged by Sammer.

We do agree it's time for Tomas to leave Dortmund. As long as he doesn't say or do anything stupid on his way out, I'll remain a fan of his and cheer for him wherever he goes.

I said this past Saturday's match against Hamburg was the first time in over two years that I've seen him look "happy" on the pitch.

I don't know if he, like other members of the team, is finally buying into BvM's system, or if he was happy about the contact from Tottenham.

Don't worry Petr. Tomas Rosicky is about 98% sure to be sold this off-season.

It seems that Watzke has come out and said that Rosicky isn't for sale. To be honest, this seems to me far more like bluffing to try and keep his potential transfer fee up, but I'm curious if people think otherwise. Not that I'm in a hurry to dispense with Thomas, but it's the sort of issue that could easily prove a distraction for the remainder of the season.

My Response: David, below is what I posted on this situation to my Borussia Dortmund discussion group at Yahoogroups. We are at "Borussia-Dortmund".

I wrote:

===============================================

This is "kind of, sort of" what I was talking about (previously).

BVB are saying they'll keep Rosicky.

I think they are saying it to raise his transfer cost.

The problem is, they need to be willing to actually KEEP him if no one gives them their price.

Now if Rosicky will just shut up and let them go about it, we might be able to pull between 15-25 million for him.


I also think this means BVB management are confident they won't need Rosicky's transfer fee to secure a license for next season.

=====================================================

I think they will sell, but this might show that BVB don't intend to jump at the first offer. However, I think the first club that comes with an offer of between 12-20 million Euros might get him.

just wanted to know what people think the chance is that porto could pick up rosicky.

[MetroChile]

I think he will most definitely leave (that's like a 99.9% certainty), just not to Porto. They bought Diego last year (although Maniche did leave or was ready to).
