The only player from that entire team that I'd consider above average is Kimmich but then I kept thinking of him as a good player even after his first big CL mistakes.

Hector, Can, Rudy, Werner all had pretty good seasons? I mean they're all unproven internationally but that seems like kind of the point, younger players that have been playing well getting a chance to prove their worth.

Dude, Goretzka, Brandt, and Sáne are definitely real good players.

I would rate ter Stegen as above average as well. Only he somehow seems to be cursed to always play like poo poo when wearing the Nationalmannschaftstrikot.

Let me tell you right now that he plays the same when in a Gladbach or Barca kit.

It's rather easy to see he's not comfortable on the ball but everyone wants this fellow who's one strength is reflexes to play like Neuer.

The cutoff might have been EL/CL games, also all goalkeepers behind Neuer need to be available at all times, what with the big cliff in quality after him lmao.

Look!
Trapp
Rüdiger-Süle-Mustafi
Kimmich-Rudy-Can-Hector
Sane-Werner-Draxler

Looks like a pretty decent team tbh and should get us to the final? Draxler has the most caps of that team (28) and most goals at 3 lol

He's never been with the national team though and as we all know Jogi likes to rely on players with team experience. If only Poldi had not retired yet he would be the perfect captain :D

A lot of the people that the refs deal with in the Bundesliga will earn much more than that. Add to that all the poo poo that they get on average every weekend I actually don't mind that they are paid well.

So the powers that be at Milan have supposedly done a deal for Ricardo Rodriguez with Wolfsburg. Looking at the table, signing a defender from Wolfsburg seems insanely bad. All i know about him is from watching Switzerland play now and then and thinking "Rodriguez? They'll naturalize anyone!"

So is he any good or is he just another clown man to add to the clown man squad at Milan clown school?

He's generally been pretty good but Wolfsburg has been a trash fire this year so who knows at this point.

And I mean the one that'll turn into a trash fire once everyone knows the investor is broke and won't be paying a single dime to Berlusconi.

So a net win for everyone.

Berlusconi's already been paid off, the investors owe an American investment fund 120 million Euros at something like 7%, lol

He's Spanish on one side, Chileanen on his other side but grew up in a district in the north of Zurich, him and his brothers are your average Swiss with migration background.

A very talented player who mostly seems to suffer from Wolfsburg being utter poo poo, but I would have prefered him in Spain, not Italy.

He's a great left back, but for some reason he's mostly been playing as a center back this season, where he's pretty poo poo.

Papadopoulos as usual seems like one of the only players, that is truly fighting against relegation. Which is a bit hilarious considering he is only on loan.

But HSV has gotten a lot better ever since Djourou was washed down the drain, where he belongs. Still not a great side, but with a decent defensive signing next season, I have hopes it won't be this tight again*.

(*if they dont just relegate now of course)
