Nothing should be taken away from Grafite. He is having a stellar season and from what I heard and read he seems to be a very polite and humble man.
That said, I think it is telling in just how many goals Missimovic is involved in with Wolfsburg. He was there scoring and creating goals when Grafite was injured and he was there scoring and creating goals when Dzeko is out. I think he deserves it more if we are going to be completely fair and objective.

He's also pretty smart. I like him, too.

I saw Misimovic live for many times last season (when he played for Nuremberg under Hans Meyer) ... and knew he'd become one of the best playmakers soon (despite FCN's surprising relegation). Great player!

I followed him ever since he left Bayern, I actually never wanted him or Trochowski to be sold but I said the same about Feulner :D and that didn't work out too well, lol.
I was always impressed by the little I saw of him, his goals against us at Bochum and Nurnberg were fantastic. He has been a real bargain for Wolfsburg. I can imagine there will be a few clubs after him in the summer.

Wolfsburg has no reason to sell any of their best players unless they basically force a move.

If next season, Feulner gives us half of what Misimovic has given Wolfsburg, I'll remember this post.

This is exactly why I wanted Dortmund to sign Misimovic before he moved to Nuernberg. He was available on a free.
But one of my good friends and some others claimed he wasn't good enough.
I wonder what they are thinking now........

Yesterday was a day of wasted chances for sure.
Wasted chances in terms of scoring to beat Cottbus and wasted chances to take a commanding lead in the league.
You can sense the result happening after each failed chance.
Here's all that's left.

A 5/6 pt lead would have been very beneficial in case of a slip up in any of these games. Now there is no room for error..

I knew you'd lose in Cottbus (well, important was that you got the lucky 3 points in Gladbach). Bayern will become champion again because the other teams are simply too silly (as always)...

I'd rather we didn't for once in my life to be honest. I'd rather Cheeseburger wins it, and Wolf to make the CL spot along with Bayern. I think Stuttgart would be a monumental failure again in CL if they sell Gomez in the summer.

I have heard of no plans to sell Gomez in the summer...

This is a tough program for Wolfsburg. Hoffenheim might seem somewhat toothless recently but they're still dangerous, Stuttgart has a similar run as Wolfsburg, Dortmund is also very strong recently, Hannover is very strong at home and Bremen still has a great team even though they're far off in the table.
I still think that Bayern will win the championship, but it's going to be very close. I wouldn't be surprised to see a last minute foto-finish this season.

I could easily picture three or so teams going into the final day still in with a chance of winning the title. Would be crazy.
If I was going to bet, which i'm not going to because it's so close, I would agree as well that Bayern would still be favourites.

The only way I see Bayern as favorites is due to the possible effect of getting a new coach. The squad is still the same and will face the same problems the rest of the way.

Several papers are reporting that Magath will leave at the end of the season to take over at Schalke. Magath neither confirmed nor denied the reports.

It wouldn't be the first time Magath jumped ship so we know it's possible. I actually assume he will be Schalke's coach next season. Which sucks. Because if there's one guy who can break the Schalke spell... it's Felx Magath.

True, Wolfsburg is probably the most boring city in Germany, but Gelsenkirchen? Not really a dream come true either...
