its brother against brother in the bundes :bow:

I'm not happy about this. KBP is more than Schalke could expected in my opinion. Now, Steaua will really have to worry about Schalke :facepalm:

. The german side already has a lot of talented players, but if Boateng will play b2b will help them a lot in making the connection between compartments; the counter-attacks and positional play will be more fluid.

If Schalke manages to use Boateng at his full potential, it will cause a lot of problems to Steaua. Players like Draxler, Uchida, Farfan or Szalai will now benefit of a more solid team game.

I saw Schalke in extended highlights of the 2nd leg against PAOK and in my opinion they weren't a team to fear, yet I was impressed by Draxler and Szalai, two of the greatest players from Bundesliga.

Anyway, good job for Schalke! Great transfer!

i always thought KPB is magnificient as b2b.. but allegri never used him there... except in first season..

at times he was super lazy.. infact it took him more than half a season last year to get back to his feet...

ok psv game was exceptional... but milan just wait for grass to grow.. thats how KPB form was..

maybe Schalke will benefit from him.. but milan will move on

by Helmer Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:46 am

farfan and draxler are almost fixed in the front line...draxler plays in the hole, so i was worried where they would play KPB. But if he can play as CM, nothing like it...that is what they actually needed. If he can make those transitions from defence to attack, I am glad for schalke. It will be interesting how keller uses him.
Schalke is a team with overhyped draxler, moody farfan, szalai the 6 yard misser (i will call him unless he doesnt miss such chances), shaky defence without papa. No one has to feared of them

We have more of that - Bender/Bender, Kroos/Kroos...

We should use the Boateng money to pillage Ajax of all their quality players and ensure progress to the Ro16.

Well, the Boatengs are brothers who play for different countries - that's what makes them special.

Liverpool have made €13m (£11m) bid for PSG's Sakho, expecting a answer from the French club today. [Le Parisien]

Milan attempt now is to either sign Honda or Kaka as Boateng replacement.

if Honda doesn't come now then he will arrive in January for free, Kaka will then likely to arrive in Milan

Frankly, I'm fascinated how well Horst Heldt kept this secret. Now that's how you are doing top transfers :bow:

RWO is secret Leverkusen hater. You will find her contributing in Basel, Dortmund, BMG, Schalke, Bayern but not in Leverkusen threads :-(

I don't hate them. I just don't really know what to write about them. -_-
Maybe I'll take a look once in a while what Levin Öztunali is doing.

As good as done and dusted, yup.

Meh, don't care much about the Boateng move didn't really like him, but he did produce in big moments and that will be remembered.

Good luck in Schalke, surprised how they kept this transfer a secret till he was doing a medical.

15 million is a good sum as well.

But when it comes to replacements we DON'T need Kaka, he's old and is past his prime. Would much rather have Honda now than Kaka and Kaka's wages will still probably be high.

by S Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:30 am

Di Marzio says Milan have presented a new offer for Honda and see if they can bring him here now and see if there is a positiove response from CSKA,if not then they will 'try everything' for Kaka.

by The Franchise Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:31 am

Im kinda glad, for whatever reason Boateng causes us problems.

Newcastle has to start realizing that it's not the bid to Lyon that's the problem... Gomis wants to either go to OM or Bundi.
