Dortmund plan cost-cutting measures next season http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-dortmund&prov=reuters&type=lgns In addition to Casey having a good showing the rest of the season at KSC, this may give Dortmund additional impetus to bring him into their first team next year.
I think if Casey can pick up his play some...finish with 15+ goals...he's gotta a shot to be their reserve striker. Almost no matter how well he plays, I can't see Dortmund handing over CF to him. I bet they keep Koller (and sell Dede). Dortmund too big a club, money problems or not, to hand over CF to someone unproven. But I think being chosen understudy to Koller would be great acheivement for his career- next stepping stone. If he could get 10-12 regular game appearances next year (including Cup), and show well, that would be terrific. Of course, all speculation and having said, he's gotta step it up a notch 2nd half w/Karlsruhe...or the point is mute
