just my personal preference that Lille would be more interesting

Jose Bosingwa- A good back up to first choice right back Piszczek plus he was a free transfer.
Mohamed Diame- Another free transfer the midfielder will be a good back up for CM.
Junior Hoilett- Again back up to the likes of Gotze and Kagawa another free transfer.
Isaac Vorsah- Needed another CB as i had only 3 a bargain for 4.1M
Joel Valencia- A great talent who will grow through the U19
Luuk De Jong- Good young back up striker which we needed as we only had Lewandowski up front plus he is only 20 so plenty of years ahead of him.

Interested to see how luuk de jong improves. Never seen him become a world beater before but always liked the look of him.
July
In July we had 2 games the German Super Cup against Bayern Munich. We also had another cup match it was the German Cup second round against Kiel.

Kagawa Reus Lewandowski
View attachment 251838
This was an absolute cracker of a game which was made that by our good attacking play but our poor defensive play. We got off to a good start when Shinji Kagawa made it 1-0 with a screamer from 25 yards after just one minute. Then there was a 16 minute horror show when Ribery and Gomez teared us apart and we were 4-1 down after half an hour. But the subsitute Reus who came on for the injured Kehl who pulled it back to 4-2 then Lewandowski made it 4-3 just before half time game on again. Then the second half was so frustrating as we had chance after chance and we battered Munich but we just couldn't score to complete the comeback. This was compounded by Perisic getting injured and as we put on the pressure in the final minutes it wasn't to be our day and we had to conceed the trophy to Munich.
MOTM=Ribery(8.8)

The stats say it all in this game 35 shots and 72% possesion as this was a one sided match. We took the lead eventually in the 43rd minute when Lewandowski poached a goal from a brilliant cross by Reus. Then Jurgenson fouled Bittencourt in the box and Mats Hummels stepped up and slotted the ball into the net to seal the win. But in the end the score should of been so much bigger.
MOTM=Bittencourt(7.9)
So in the end it was a so so month we should of beaten Bayern but we wasted our chances and it was a good win in Kiel but we didn't put the ball in the net as often as we should of done.
Next month's fixtures look like this....

In August we start our Bundesliga Campaign at home to Bayern Munich. We face newly promoted Furth away and Wolfsburg at home and a tough trip to Mainz. We also found out our draws for the Champions League group stage and the the third round of the German Cup.

We managed to avenge for our super cup loss to Munich. Just like in the super Cup we took a early lead through Mario Gotze curled in a shot from 25 yards into the top corner. Bayern hit back in the 23rd minute when Arjen Robben benefitted from a lucky deflection to put the ball into the empty net. But we continued to make chances and put the pressure on in the second half and it didn't look like that we could score but in second half injury time Lewandowski got the winning goal that we deserved and got the 3 points.

Well it was a good enough performance away from home as we dominated the game we had chances in the first half but just before half time we struck twice through Lewandowski and Hummels. Hummels heading in Mario Gotze's free kick. In the second half nothing much happened but Hummels again headed in another Gotze free kick to make it 3 and seal the points so 6 out of 6 so far.

Another victory and it was fully deserved we had a couple of cances in the first half but we went in at the break at 0-0. But the second half finally came to life when Veirinha put Wolfsburg undeservedly ahead with an absolute beautiful goal from 30 yards. But then 3 goals in 5 minutes from Lewandowski,Reus,Gotze sealed a great comeback and retained our winning run.

This was a fairly boring came it came down to who was the most clinical in front of goal but we managed to keep most of the possesion and pick them off. Gotze got the scoring going after half an hour after a dubious goal where Gotze looked have fouled the defender but the goal was givin the 66th minute. Marco Reus scored again in the 66th minute when he fired home from a narrow angle. With 9 minutes to go Lewandowski sealed the three points to cap of a wonderful start to the season.
What can i say the perfect start the table looks like this...

Top of the table with 12 points out of 12.
Our Champions League Group looks like this....
View attachment 252042
Porto,Panathinaikos and Galatasaray I probaly couldn't have asked for a better group than we got so i'm confident we can qualify for the knockout stages. We also drew Hamburg away in the German Cup third round.
