THE JOURNEY BEGINS:
A lot of credit has to go to Jurgen Klopp who put Dortmund on the European map when they were no where. He won two consecutive Bundesliga crowns toppling Bayern Munich. But Bayern emerged stronger than ever. Juup Heynckes led the team to a fantastic treble thwarting Dortmund at every stop. A team which will go down as a legendary unit. Even Transfer wise, there was no good news for Dortmund. Out went Gotze first, an incident which silenced the entire club. Lewandowski, one of the world's best hunter goes to Bayern on a free transfer next season. This blow was too much to stomach. Klopp left the club as a result knowing that he wouldn't be short of offers, as he is a hot property in football like Lewy and Mario, if not hotter. Dortmund turn to an untested young German manager who has big plans for the club and looks promising. "A brilliant young Manager for a brilliant young squad", said Watzke, when asked about the appointment. Stark enters Signal Iduna Park...

GUNDOGAN - A model midfielder with great vision and can only grow considering he is just 22.

HUMMELS - A strong, no nonsense centre back who is adept on the ball too. Key to the present and the future.

Lewy is leaving next season. So he doesn't make the list.
So, lets get on with it.
TRANSFERS SO FAR
- Zieler is in. He is a good GK and a much needed one at that. Will fight it out with Weidenfeller.

-Werner is in. A potential world class player. I overpaid, but I had to have him as he'll be able to make the world take notice of him within 3 years and 16mP is not that big a price considering that.

I'm trying to get Rode but it doesn't look likely as I'm running a ****** tight ship.
Let's see if this team is enough to achieve the honors this season.
