    Trying to remember how perm-y Ji's hair got...

    EDIT: Quick google = he had short hair at Augsburg

    don't think it matches his current hair or his hair during Augsburg days.

    I'm not a hair stylist so I will wait rather than more conjecture. :)

    hehe, good deal for both sides. I guess Sunderland wanted to rip Dortmund off. Dortmund's manager is a friend of Augsburg's manager.

    thrilled & elated by this news. looking forward to how Ji develops under Klopp. raw but he does have potential & hopefully.. Klopp gets the best out of him.

    at the same time, I'm glad Ji will join a team or manager who really wants him & was persistent in capturing him.

    edit: btw, my theory/speculation was partially right. :laugh:

    S***. I have a sales thing in 10 minutes followed by client meetings after and I'm not sure I can calm down enough to do my job.

    I'm thrilled also that those sunderland fans who were laughing at the idea that BVB wanted Ji now have to eat s***

    I don't understand this transfer from Augsburg's perspective. Why would they pay a transfer fee for a striker they know would be going to a different club for free in 6 months?

    Augsburg has signed him until summer 2014. He'd be a free agent then, and since his contract is only 6 months long, he is entitled to sign a contract for summer 2014 in Dortmund.

    I imagine that Dortmund and Augsburg agreed on this and Dortmund promised Augsburg 1-2 talented players on loan in the next couple of years if they "help out" now. I doubt that Dortmund wanted Ji to rot on the bench in Sunderland for another 6 months and I can imagine Sunderland wanted to rip Dortmund off like they tried in summer 2013.

    It's undisclosed, so it was probably a nominal fee. But I'm inclined to agree with smithfan's post below...

    If true, this will make Sunderland feel that much more foolish that BVB found a way to circumvent Sunderland's negotiating tactics.

    It says that Ji will join Borussia Dortmund in summer 2014. He'll sign a contract until 2018. Dortmund doesn't see him as Lewandowski's replacement, they wanted more options in their offense in general and that's why they signed Ji. It's not a speculation article, it's a "based on Kicker information" and "will sign" instead of "could sign". Dortmund's local paper Ruhrnachrichten has put up an article and BILD is expected to do the same within the next 4 hours (they'll be pretty pissed that Kicker leaked it before them - in fact, they're deleting every sent tweet on their website which has to do with Ji :D ).

    Or it was from a contractual/legal point of view much easier for BVB to sign a pre-contract and have JDW move to FCA in this window for a nominal (close to free fee) than to have BVB sign him in this window and then loan out to FCA immediately thereafter. It would also lower transaction fees as well if structured this way...

    Such great news for Ji. And plus, that makes the next 6 months really great for him. Get minutes. Get back in form. Play at the world cup. All without the pressure of playing for your life.

    So what do people think as far as room for him at BVB? Is he just going to be riding the bench again once he gets there?

    Yes, send me the proposed title. I haven't been really keeping up with the news so not sure who's playing where. Thanks.
