Borussia Mönchengladbach

Has Borussia got option of first refusal Kramer?

Well, the modalities of the contract have not gotten out yet. For now, BMG have loaned him from Bayer for two years until 2015. There was nothing mentioned about any option to buy or so.

Dominguez has broken collarbone and torn ligament in arm.  

Now management of Borussia must try to buy centre back in winter... Centre back, right back, left wing - these positions require good reinforcements.

That's sad to hear. I hope he will recover fully and soon!

Arsenal is reportedly ready to spend 17 million pounds (~20M euro) on Patrick Herrmann. Perhaps it is a rumor, but imo if The Gunners actually will submit such offer then management of Borussia should consider selling Patrick.

I think worrying is that the Swiss FA might be inclined to make Lucien Favre an offer for the Switzerland job after the World Cup.

I thought about this recently and in connection with end of a career of Otmar Hitzfeld, this option seems to be likely.

I really like him, but despite a much better game in this season sometimes I get the impression that Favre and Borussia isn't entirely harmonious set. Anyway, if Borussia found worthy succesor - then I'd like to see Favre as manager of Switzerland.

Thorgan Hazard is going to sign for BMG, I will have to try watch some of their games now!

They already signed Fabian Johnson so I was already on board.

Yeah, it will be a loan for one year as the German press write (Thorgan Hazard).

I think they got some good signings for this season - top of them of course Yann Sommer. But Fabian Johnson, Ibrahima Traoré and André Hahn aren't bad either.

(Eh, moto, you pipped me to mention Fabian Johnson!)

Twice

Sommer signed for BMG?

I had no clue, why didn't you mention it, RWO?

Yeah, RWO, why didn't you mention it

But I did mention it - here: http://www.goallegacy.net/t34731p18-summer-2014-confirmed-transfers#1150952

Oh, and if you scroll up a bit - I also mentioned the Fabian Johnson transfer there in the confirmed transfers thread

That was a bit of sarcasm, RWO, hence the wink

Someone please explain this sarcasm you speak of

I'm curious about where he will play? Left-wing? Alternative for Raffael? I think that is good deal for all sides (Gladbach, Chelsea and Thorgan). Finally bench won't look like shit... Very levelized staff.

*Case of Sinan Kurt is unexplained

He isn't like his brother so I doubt he'll play LW.

He is more of an AM so probably an Alternative/competition for Raffael.

Today Yann Sommer and Fabian Johnson were unveiled at Borussia M'gladbach:

Is Mönchengladbach close to where you live, RWO?

Well, M'gladbach is about 70km away. I'm living in the Ruhr Area which is a veritable football stronghold. Of the Bundesliga, I have Schalke next door (15km away), Dortmund is around 40km away, Leverkusen around 60km, Köln 70km. Smaller, but still traditional clubs within 30-40km are RW Oberhausen, MSV Duisburg, RW Essen, Fortuna Düsseldorf, and VfL Bochum.

The matches are 2x30min and will be broadcast for free at SAT1, which means there should be a free stream available at ran.de (German Proxy necessary).

So what you're saying is that now is finally the time for me to hook you up with Sommer?

*giggle* Naw, I prefer to admire him from afar *sighs dreamily*

One day I will make it happen

As there are always numerous accounts looking like player accounts at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, BMG decided to make a definite list of the official accounts of their players: http://t.co/ATg4uk7W61
