'I find Schalke's summer transfers very weird. You have given out almost 50 million Euro so far, but your squad still looks mediocre'
Well, my little Werder friend, you seem to be saying what we say every year and I always try and hold on until at least October before putting it into print. I am prepared to accept that the new man knows what he is doing, but to bring in such new players and continue with Choupo-Moting and di Santo and others will prove his efforts to be wasted. He has to get tough and let the young players and the new men have a decent chance. Leon might still be here for part of the season and I hope Max will still be around, but treating like they were treated last season will guarantee that they depart as soon as possible. The are others like Platte and Reese who will go the same way if they are not treated fairly and the usual habit of ruining their confidence will have its usual effect. as for mediocre - yes if you leave it as it is, but to clear out the garbage will make it look much more of a group to be reckoned with. To-day's game showed where part of the problem lies and the trip to China could be vital in this season's future decisions. I am sure that Inter Milan and Besiktas will not be travelling for fun so bring it on!!!
