Mario Gotze vs Marco Reus vs Shinji Kagawa

Which Dortmund player is the best?

all three are great players but Goetze is, eventhough i'm not big fan of that term, a century talent. what he brings to the table is still more than both of the others.

Gotze.

Reus is a great direct attacker and has superb finishing, but Götze brings a level of control and creative threat to the table that he doesn't, he's also superior to Kagawa in that regard, who might have the better close control and first touch, though TBH I just think Kagawa makes it look flashier, Götze still seems to have better close control, since he loses the ball less often, or it's just his superior decision making.

TBH I'm pretty certain Götze will be the best German player in roughly two years time, Reus won't be.
Kagawa is great, but a notch below the two, IMHO.

You think Götze will become a better player than Özil, Viva?

what does century talent mean? there are players better than him every 5 years

Not sure, last year I might have said "yes", but TBH Özil has improved a lot at Madrid, I thought he was much closer to his prime already, but apparently Özil still finds ways to get better, I wouldn't even put it past him to eventually become good at finishing.

Also I'm afraid that Götze might turn out injury prone.

That being said, I still expect Götze to become at least as good as Özil, certainly more complete, since Götze has already excelled when playing deeper, but still has enough close control and pace to be an asset when counter-attacking. And his finishing is already superior to Özils.

But at the moment Özil is still just better, which isn't surprising, at that age every year of experience counts a lot.
