    The man's inexpungable.
    I do. We have the talent and the pedigree to do so.

    I never thought I'd say this, but I want to give Schmelzer another shot at the starting lineup. Anyone who's watched Dortmund this season can tell you he looks like an entirely different player out there. His crosses are worlds better than they have ever been, his positioning has improved this season, and he's been strangely solid on defence.

    Also, I think Ilklay Gündoğan deserves to start on this team. He looks every bit as good as he was in 2013.

    Yes, Schmelzer deserves a chance, he still has time to prove this season until Euro '2016
    Maybe now Loew's focus is to find starter RB first, Rudy / Can / Ginter?
    Yes, he is

    Loew doesn't interested at Trasch anymore, so if Jung can't beat him, he doesn't deserve a call up from Loew

    Not sure how much better Schmelzer would have to play to be called up again really.

    Schmelzer is in good shape. Good enough to forgive him all his flaws for the NT? I still remeber when he was completely caught out of his depth against Austria....

    I have never been a Schmelzer fan in the least; you can look at my posting history. But I think its time for him to have another go at being the Germany NT LB; I dare you to find a LB in all Germany who has had a better start to his season and looks more improved.

    Just realised Hermann was not selected , I think he played pretty well in his first game for NT . Should have been selected over Podolski. Or was he injured ??

    No, Herrmann isn't injured .. but hey I'm not that unlucky with him staying at home practising.

    Draxler completes a move to Wolfsburg. Good news IMO, he'll have some stability there and hopefully can stay healthy to allow himself to make the next step.

    Sirigu is now completely out of the picture at PSG. I think we could see Trapp at the Euros.

    With both KdB and Perisic out of the door, he should hopefully find a lot of playing time.

    Schürrle has to find a way to return to his Mainz/Leverkusen form. Ever since he went to England and found his hot Canadian girlfriend, he's seemingly forgotten how to play consistent football.

    Özil is useless on the wing. Both wings.

    Well, it would seem we are at an impasse. Would you like for us to delve into stats?
