Lewandowski did none of those things, so you can leave him out of this m8.
Son ran down his contract but still played at world class level in his final season. Yea, it sucks bvb couldn't get money of out him, but they didn't want to sell him either and he was set to leave last year. BVB fans aren't mad about lewa, yea it sucks he's leaving, but it was bound to happen with a talent of his magnitude and all the clubs that were scouting for him too.
Gotze on the other hand...

Inter and Gala are interested. I think Monaco as well. It seemed that he didn't want to go to another PL club and wanted to go abroad. But City made him the best offer, 100k per week or so. Looked like he was going to take their offer but since we have won, he wants to sit down and talk. He deserves more money, he has been great for us. I really hope he stays

^ You talking about the fans that got injured or that both along with Valladolid getting relegated? Oh well, them the breaks...
Had a full weekend of footy for my son. He had the second 2 hour try out for a different more talented/competitive club (travel) team. One of the assistants looked at me afterwards & pointed while winking indicating he's done really well. He also has a tryout this Wednesday & Thursday for another team he's interested in playing...
He had two games today to finish the spring season with his current club. We won the first game & tied the second so we finished 4-1-1 for the spring. I was proud of my son. He played very well this spring & grew as a player.
After the first game today the 3 coaches came over to my boy & said they were really impressed with his play. he & the other full back would not let their side score (we won that game 2-0) which is an accomplishment because that team hard hard & were super fast.
Anyway, just got done watching the Barca vs Atleti game.
First off, congrats to Atleti. They had a superb season. They were the embodiment of el Cholo. Christ, the team lost Costa & Turan, their 2 best players early on & were still able to hold Barca at bay & draw at Camp Nou. I was glad to see the Camp Nou crowd give Atleti a standing ovation.
I feel bad for Tata. I honestly think the board held him back for truly doing what he wanted to do. They also made the mistake in not making any purchases in January. The second half of this campaign went terribly & I attribute a large part of the problem to a lack of leadership amongst the players. They also didn't play with any sense of urgency or tenacity most the second half of the campaign. Tata also had to deal with a ton of drama that effected his squad that was none of his doing.
I'm not sure I'm onboard with the hiring of Enrique. There are already rumblings that some players aren't on board with his hire because of his abrasive in your face managerial style. I would've rather seen the club go after de Boer if anyone.
I've said this many times before, I'm not confident in the president Bartomeu, the board, or Zubi to be able to rebuild this team properly or to properly utilize or carry out an action plan for the younger players on the B squad & below.
That being said, I hope Costa & Turan are ok because I'd really love for them to win the CL & also prevent Madrid from la decima. Go Atleti!!!

My post was mainly more towards Gotze
But Lewa could of stayed, for less money of course. I didnt expect that level of loyalty since he is Polish so the money talked. I mean at least he made a decision and didnt pull a LeBron. Personally I lost a little respect I mean he could of went abroad instead of joing their rivals but thats just my opinion.

The Poles and Germans don't necessarily have the happiest of relationships (ie. lingering feelings from WW2/ German Invasion of Poland). Apparently when Lewa first asked for a transfer, it had less to do with greed and more so the fact that when he was in the negotiation room with Dortmund execs, statements were thrown out like "A Pole can not earn much in Dortmund" or a Pole cannot be the highest paid player on a german team.
Taking that into consideration, Lewandowski is completely justified in wanting to get the hell out of Dortmund.

The problem with Barcelona is the board members. They're the one accountable to how bad the season has gone. Don't get me wrong the players and Tata have done a terrible job as well. But at the end of the day it's The president & Zubi who call the shots. I truly believe they brought in Tata to say look we brought a foreign manager not from la masia to change thing. Didn't let Tata do as he pleased and now going for Enrique as to show that changing things wasn't a good idea. Tata was used by the board and it sucks cause I believe he was able to turn things around and he did that at the beginning of the season but seems like the board didn't like it cause we lacked possession smh

Saw that in some footie forums over the weekend.
I wonder if Nike will soon regret letting go their original club and introduction to world football now that Arsenal dusted off their trophy cabinet and have plenty of cash to spend this summer.
