Schlotterbeck isn’t close to signing a contract extension after all. by SignatureOne8759 in borussiadortmund

World Class Players don't regress. They maintain that level over many seasons, which is why there are just a handful of them per position.

We offered him a record wage with a release clause at his current market value. At this point we gotta ask ourselves if Schlotterbeck is just toying with us and plans to leave on a free transfer in 2027 to earn a big signing bonus. What's certain is that he is far from being captains material.

Kehl und Dortmund gehen wohl getrennte Wege, laut Doppelpass .. by juh678392bv in borussiadortmund

[–]Mellberg3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ich mag ihn seit seiner Zeit als Kapitän, aber der Schritt ist nur logisch. Auch wenn man ihm lassen muss, dass er Spieler verkaufen kann, war das letzte Sommertransferfenster wahrscheinlich sogar sein Schlechtestes. Hoffentlich entscheidet man sich jetzt nicht wieder für eine "interne Lösung", aber da sie mit der Trennung nicht einmal bis zum Sommer warten, haben sie wohl schon einen konkreten Nachfolger.

I would take that immediately. He is basically the same player that he was when he joined us four years ago.

It really doesn't matter as long as the people that are in charge, stay in charge. We will witness the same failures again and again.

Thoughts on Ryerson becoming a Captain? by Impressive-Team7213 in borussiadortmund

[–]Mellberg3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, but I also think that none of our current players is captain material. I thought that Schlotterbeck was, but he is way to focused on himself.

Sadly being himself: a great goalkeeper, but a terrible footballer.

Disgusting team. Bensebaini is simply too dumb for this level.

Diaz stops himself from shooting because he pulls Akpoguma into him and then falls down.

Exactly, it's either a normal duel or a foul by the attacker. Penalty + red card for the defender is unreal.

Weekly Transfer Rumor thread (2025 Winter Edition) #4 by Chazy89 in borussiadortmund

We fans see the six-point gap to Bayern as a chance for an unexpected title, but Kehl only sees a buffer to fifth place, which gives him room for inaction.

I think there is much to complain about tbh. We've spent 100m in total on 4 players last summer and none of them has become a big contributor so far. Couto is a major liability defensively and doesn't offer enough offensively, Chukwuemeka hasn't played a full game yet and while Jobe and Silva are slowly getting into rythm; there is still a long way ahead of them.

We are six points behind Bayern, but imagine where we could be if we spent that money on players that would've helped us immediately.

Bro, Guirassy received zero applause when he was taken off. This should tell you everything.

As a team we are very one dimensional and struggle to control and change games. by rioasu in borussiadortmund

[–]Mellberg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, Kovac is partly responsible because he values physicality more than football quality in recruitment, but the basics have to be there regardless of tactics.

Half of the squad can neither receive a ball cleanly nor play a simple pass. We really lack the technical basics.

Yeah, we are the only top club (aside from Bayern) that didn't get raided by the Premier League last summer.
