Typical response to BVB's problems by @Livertool: "BVB must spend more money, they have to go after Harry Kane, Vinicius Jr and Osimhen. All at once!" Typical response to BVB's problems by @jerry: "There's a great player from Wroclaw 2, Ngubu Yeboah, so far he played 1650 minutes in Druga Liga scoring 3 goals, he could easily replace Moukoko." @jerry All these "news" are old news. Bild is the German version of The Sun, they like to stir shit up. I don't care about the U-21 team, so Adeyemi staying in Dortmund working on his game is a plus to me. Let's be honest, the Milfhunter is no U-21 player anymore and also should not be allowed anywhere close to the National Team. I listened to the podcast where the other BVB news have been taken from, also nothing new here. I think we all agree that Modeste in Dortmund was a bust and everybody here, myself included, called it. Maybe Cavani would have busted as well? Who knows? Cavani wasn't much better in Valencia if you simply look at his stats. For example, other big name players like Bonucci and Fofana haven't show much for Union this season as well. Watzke loves Edin almost as much as he loves himself. However the current discussion about Edin is totally ridiculous. Just let him cook in peace and once we reached the Christmas break, we can reevaluate. The BVB only needs one win to reach the 1/8-finals. I'm expecting some UCL glory next spring! Finally, something I can agree on with @Livertool. That's the same thing I recognized as well that the BVB's bosses are pretty content with the status quo. All is fine and dandy as long as there's UCL money coming in, we play entertaining football at home and some star players can be developed and sold. That's the reason why a Leverkusen win would be so important. It would immediately eliminate Watzke's favourite excuse of Bayern being overwhelmingly better funded, thus there's nothing the BVB (under his watch) could have done any better. The German NT is playing in Berlin vs Turkey this Saturday. Obviously a home game for our muslim friends, so this could be a LOLsy atmosphere. Mr Erdogan is visiting Berlin as well this weekend. What do you think guys? Minute of silence/boos for Israel?

I think the BVB was offering Bellingham something like 15 M a year last season. But if Sancho, Haaland and Jude wanted to move on, what are we supposed to do? Hold their families hostage and force them to stay? That's not good for long-term business. Last winter, during the WC, the BVB was in fifth or sixth place, 10 points behind Bayern. Edin turned the team around, starting in winter training camp. In addition to that, the BVB brought in 2 reinforcements with Ryerson and Duranville. Ryerson practically plays all the minutes as RB or LB and Duranville has been injured all the time. Bayern is signing some "17 year old" from Australia for a few million Euros: Regardless whether or not he'll make it in the first team, however this is the creative type of transfer, I'd like to see from the BVB as well! Seems like one hell of an athlete.

Haaland? Kimmich, Davies, Gnabry from Bayern were also rather cheap and "unknown" when they joined the club. Not that it matters though if specific players won trophies or not... The point is that your hypothesis is that the BVB doesn't spend enough and I've proven now that you don't need to spend much at all and you can still find gems. Nkunku, Diaby, Sancho, Tapsoba, Kone also are well known Bundesliga names that were available for <20 M Euro. My point is that you need a plan and scout for specific players and to me it seems like the BVB is moving away from scouting and developing a little too much.

Top players in the Bundesliga and their transfer fees: Xavi Simons: 0. Grimaldo: 0. Boniface: 20 M. Guirassy: 9 M. Undav: 700 K. In the past: Kolo Muani: 0. Wirtz: 200 K. Musiala: 200 K. Frimpong: 11M. Bellingham: 25 M. Haaland: 20 M.

25 M for a mascot who hardly plays. 45 M for a rotational player who gets playing time against HIV Helsinki and Hapoel Jerusalem in the Conference League and Luton in the PL. I neither follow the Scottish PL nor the Scottish National Team, so congrats, I assume? So is Schmaddi still at the wheel? 75 M+ plus boni for Malen sounding enticing?

The confused boomer in the green jacket obviously didn't get the memo...

Sure, what's just 100 M Euros among friends? By the way, Bayern also profited from finding idiots that bought Gravenberch, Mane, Sabitzer and Pavard from them, resulting in them to be so stretched thin right now, that their bus driver and team cook is sitting on the bench... Let's be a little more realistic here. I think one key factor is the Haller situation. The BVB needs him to be able to contribute similar to like he did in the 22/23 Rückrunde. Currently, he doesn't which means that Edin should have altered his system some time ago, which he however refuses to do.

Guys, you're "analyzing" the BVB because of flashscore commentary? You know that these are computer generated and nobody is sitting there, actually watching the games? Führich already played against the USA. Yes he missed the penalty and an open shot early in the second half, however I'm always looking for activity and impact when judging a player. But you could see that Führich had extra motivation against his former club (youth team and BVB 2). The way the BVB is "scouting" right now, it wouldn't surprise me if he were on their list for the summer. Führich, Undav and Leweling were playing in the first half and they completely dominated the BVB. They had plenty of chances and Guirassy was almost invisible apart from the penalty (which is totally understandable). Already looking forward to Tuesdays and Wednesdays next February! Again, for the 425th time, a perceived lack of investment is not the reason for the BVB's performance. Players like Haaland, Bellingham, Sancho, Dembele, Auba cannot be bought by any Buli club, they have to be developed. Right now, the BVB has a lot of talented kids but no one is sticking out performance wise. However this can change... Well, well, well...If only one community member praised Hoeness in the past, potentially linking him to the Leverkusen job once Pretty boy Xabi leaves for Real Madrid next summer. Who could have mentioned something like that? Oh right, me, that's who... Having said that, Honess totally outcoached Edin today, as we saw attack after attack roll towards Kobel. Edin now has to start cooking again and finally scrap this stupid lineup with Brandt on the wings! Adeyemi/JBG - Fülle - Malen Brandt Or we're playing with a 3 man midfield like we did against Hoffenheim: Reyna Brandt Can/Özcan The BVB with a poor offense and an even worse defense, despite Kobel playing in God mode. Edin wanted to strengthen the defense, however he's doing so at the expense of the offense. Today, the goal by Füllkrug was the only shot on target.

Watches Stuttgart-BVB, most active player in the first half is Chris Führich. @jerry : "Who's Chris Führich, never heard of him." All in all a complete disaster. I don't know what Edin was doing today, bringing exactly the same starting lineup as he did against Newcastle has to be #DrunkenCooking. Bynoe-Gittens had a good cup game against Hoffenheim, since then: 0 minutes in 3 matches. Adeyemi probably spent the last few days banging his Albanian Milf in order to celebrate his OKish game vs Newcastle. Another stupid yellow after 15 minutes for getting in a shoving match in midfield. So after the past 3 Buli games vs Frankfurt, Bayern and Stuttgart, the BVB leaves with 1 point and 4:9 goals. The next games are against Gladbach, Leverkusen and Red Bull. Also, Stuttgart sold Endo, Mavropanos and Sosa before the year. Despite all that, they were clearly superior and are totally legitimate contenders for the Euro spots.

@Purps Totally deserved, though.

I was already demanding answers, however it's been radio silence from you for two weeks. Well, well, well... Kicker reports that the game was sold out, which makes more sense. The way they played so far, God have mercy on our souls once Guirassy comes in. Gregor "The Kraken" Kobel keeping the BVB in the game. Adeyemi also with another stupid yellow, fighting Undav. Dude's gone after the break. Nmecha, Özcan, Sabitzer nowhere to be seen. Kane now with two more goals: 17 for the year.

Watching football on a Thursday... Nagelsmann with some funny choices again! Marvin Ducksch and Blaswich! Schlotti having to stay at home again!

Stuttgart-BVB probably the only game worth watching this weekend, Bochum-Köln is the "Topspiel". Will be interesting to see what the BVB does and what Edin is cooking as well. Personally, I doubt that Guirassy will be back. @Purps Out of pure curiosity, is there a Buli club or certain players you follow specifically? Besides Julian Brandt, of course...

This confuses and enrages the Finn: I'm not eating frozen pizza myself, so I cannot say if these are good prices post inflation, but non-degenerates usually check the discounter brochures for special offers like this and then stock up. Hopefully they keep Bald Fraud II around and don't fire him before January, because I want to see Jadon Sancho back with the BVB. 1,5 year loan with a 20 M option to buy in 2025 while ManU pays 2/3 of his current salary sounds fair to me.

@Livertool Which absolute degenerate buys discounter brand frozen pizzas? If it has to be frozen, at least "invest" in some Dr Oetker or so. Also funny that you worry about the "cheese", I'd be more concerned about the "meat" or the six sorry "green peppers"...Bon appetit. I'm now eating some home made burgers with real ground meat, bacon, real cheese and salad! Musiala now out with an injury as well, however Bayern gets Heidenheim at home next and a NT break after that...

Group of death, they said! The BVB doesn't have a chance, they said! One win, and we're in!

@Purps Time to finally buy his jersey? But yeah, excellent counter attack and if I'm not mistaken, he's even right footed! Also great effort and pass by Adeyemi to initiate the Brandt/Sabitzer counter with the long clearance. You can say a lot about Adeyemi (wasting chances, diver, stupid yellows, stupid hair, Albanian Milf...) but he's always fighting on defense, giving effort.

Also hilarious to see all the leftists relying on massive amounts of media support and propaganda now getting blown out by Jewish influence/propaganda themselves. Greta Greta's dad being one of the firsts... Edin is a bettor's nightmare. Crappy game as expected, I didn't even show up to watch for the first 20 minutes. The BVB now with 2 goals in 3,5 games in the UCL resulting in 7 points.

So according to your logic, all Ms Merkel has to do now is say "sorry for letting in all the migrants, oopsie" and all is fine and dandy? HT Draw? Edin is parking the bus! Also funny to see Loris Karius still having a job in the EPL...

Tough to say how the team reacts now and what Edin is cooking. Once the lineups are published and in case Edin decides to go with Gio, Old Man, JBG, Nmecha etc, I'd bet on the BVB. If he's playing the boomers (Reus, Fülle, Sabitzer), I'd stay away or go for the HT draw. Loldecky tried his best to prevent it, but Leverkusen is marching on. Red Bull is also a funny team: Whenever I watch them, they look like absolute beasts...only to then lose in Mainz or draw at home against Bochum. The BVB is playing in Stuttgart next week, who now might lose some steam without Guirassy.

Some Japanese business men pay serious money to get kicked in the balls. That doesn't seem like such a bad deal now... All in all a horrific performance by the players and by Edin as well. Not an ounce of value in the bets I proposed! Kobel probably the only good player today. I think Edin should have changed much earlier, maybe even in the first half and bring on Reyna, Moukoko and JBG. Reyna and JBG didn't even come off the bench today. Leverkusen with the win today and I don't see this BVB winning against them next month.

Süle in for Wolf and switch to a back 3. No Mouki, Reyna, JBG? I'm demanding answers!

#LetEdinCook

Sandhausen only 2-2? Bayern with Roidretzka, Upa and Mazraoui in the lineup...

Down to 3,6 at UB, 3,45 elsewhere. Sandhausen now creeping up again towards 2,2 at the competition. We'll see later today...Maybe 3rd division football isn't on the radar here... Edin with a solid press conference yesterday, basically announcing that the BVB wants to play for the title by showing it on the pitch! Wolf seems to be matchday ready, so we're only missing Emre Can and he might even be ready to sit on the bench. Roidretzka and Upamecano flew with the team to Dortmund, but that might as well be a smokescreen. We'll see... I'm expecting a highly emotional and intense game. The BVB really has the physicality and the speed to hurt Bayern.
