Also Salah putting in work in Serie A.

What is it exactly that Chelsea offers to youngsters that they're constantly able to buy great prospects? I don't really see any other team doing it like that on their level.

@ESPNFC: BREAKING: Dortmund unexpectedly call news conference for 13:30 CET amid reports that coach Jurgen Klopp will leave at the end of the season.

 

[User 37837]

Should've happened last year for Dortmund and United.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ If that is indeed true, wonder if he got approached by City? Maybe Arsenal? Man, that makes me sad. Dortmund is said to be targeting Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel.

LOL... If this is indeed true, United really missed out.

Nah we good. Lvg taking us back to glory. We about to raid bvb now, Woodward going to be raining money and picking up Reus, hummels, Gundagon.

He's rumored to take a sabbatical anyways.

Welp, deff didn't see that coming from Klopp.. probably wanted to wait until they were safe. Pellegrini in the cut feeling mad nervous right about now

Agreed,I might have sung a different tune last year but LVG seems to be the right man for the job. I feel for BVB fans though,this has been a season from hell for them 

. I wonder if he'll entertain Citeh now.

 

[Sinner]

Surely he's headed to City?

 

[dvsonm]

I think City are front runner to get his signature. After the last couple of months they've had and the amount of money they can throw at him it's clear that he might end up at the Etihad. I just don't see arsenal picking him up. Wenger will still be there next year, again lol

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I wonder if Klopp lost the locker room which led to Dortmund having the season it had.

Man, none of us saw this coming... Damn.

Edit - Telegraph is reporting Arsenal have already ruled out a move for Klopp.

Edit II - If Madrid get bounced out of the CL, Klopp will go there...

 

[blackmomo]

I'm not that surprised with Klopp leaving. I think he just had enough of battling Bayern. No matter how good Dortmund or any German club gets, they all know Bayern is going to buy the best player from them. All of the other clubs in the Bundesliga are basically Bayerns farm clubs.

Does anyone know an app where I can listen to the porto game today? I have an android phone

I tried getting the day off to watch but it didn't work out

 

[jada2001retro]

Wonder if he takes Reus with him...

 

[Beans]

Will be interesting to see him manage a club that can compete financially and that doesnt sell off its best players yr after yr. Would love to see him replace Carlo in Madrid.

It is on the fox sports app. You will be able to watch the live feed if you pay for the channel at your home. Fox sports channel 2.

Missed this. Great Stuff Lol, love the banter. Lots of teams Porto can go up against in the trophy department, Bayern is not one of them tho

I'm extremly nervous for tomorrow, haven't been this nervous since the World Cup. I know our chances are super thin but I believe, I MUST BELIEVE!!!!!!

What do you think eiddyfouw ? We have a shot?

Normally I would easily say Bayern would be too strong. I believe they've had some key injuries who aren't available right now. Nonetheless, their bench is filled with talent that allow them to shift around. I don't think Bayern will go crazy tonight with high scores, but a solid win will probably happen maybe a 2-1.

I feel as if there would be a huge personality clash between Perez and himself

 

[eiddyfouw]

Wonder if he takes Reus with him...

I'm sure Reus is definitely leaving, just not sure if he'll follow Klopp.

I think Reus would go somewhere with a solid CL team, and even if Klopp came in tomorrow it would still be a while of re-building that squad before they can be a really solid CL team.




Btw, I wouldn't mind United taking Obamayang

 

[Kimchi Papi]

That Madjer back heel goal in the '87 Porto vs Bayern CL final is one of the all time great CL goals...

 

[captaincrown3]

Surely he's headed to City?

i can't see it. the club is a sinking ship with ffp problems, too many aging and over paid players on terrible contracts, very few players that fit his high intense, counter attacking style, and no youth system. klopp needs time, which city owners don't have.

real is probably out since hes mention the language barrier, he also doesn't fit in that galactico superstar culture, the guy rarely wears a suit & tie. that locker room would be a nightmare for him to manage with his free spirit nature

unless wenger steps down imo, the idea club right now would southampton

 

[User 37837]

I thought that free spirit nature thing was for the media/cameras and behind closed doors he was a hardass like Jon Gruden.

Problem with that move, is that no way will the Southampton board approve the sacking of Koeman for him, not after the season he's having. But I definitely hear what you're saying.

 

[captaincrown3]

i think koeman is going to be hired for a top club this summer probably city, even though he wants that barca job 

 

[flyeed]

Lolz yes Klopp planned to leave Dortmund the moment he realized the possibility of getting the prestigious highly coveted Southampton dream job.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

captaincrown3 mentioned a good point that should be emphasized, City as well as PSG will be hamstrung by FFP so outlandish moves in the transfer market probably won't be as aggressive as in years past unless these clubs bring in more money or sell players for an equitable price.
