Bundesliga mid season review

1/3 into 2011/12

Best player

It's hard to imagine that a sizable number of Bayern Munich supporters would have been all too happy to trade in €35 million ($48M) buy Mario Gomez for Edin Dzeko 18 months ago. The Germany striker was very nearly sent on loan to Liverpool before the 2010/11 season but regained his form and composure to win over Louis van Gaal, his harshest critic. Under new manager Jupp Heynckes, the 26-year-old Gomez has improved even further. Gomez has not only scored 19 goals in 17 games for Bayern in all competitions but worked hard on his technique to become Europe's best orthodox center forward. His strike rate is even more remarkable if you consider the fact that he's playing without the support of a second striker and spends most of his time battling against two opposition center backs.

There was always a romantic element to president Uli Hoeness' unwavering support for Bayern's most expensive player: Hoeness has a soft spot for powerful center forwards in the mold of Dieter, his younger brother. Football's tactical evolution toward smaller, more versatile attackers threatened to pass someone like Gomez by but his brilliance might yet convince a few teams of the merits of an old-fashioned poacher -- and herald a new/old trend for the big, strong target man.

LOL@the two clowns on here who think Gomez isn't becoming that guy in world football.

Shooting Star

Marco Reus was hardly a nobody before the start of the season, when a host of top clubs were already weighing up offers for the 22-year-old. His seven goals for Borussia Mönchengladbach this season have taken his profile to a whole new level, however. "Rolls Reus," as the tabloids call him, is the hottest young German property after Dortmund's Mario Götze and surely only a few months away from big move. A release clause of €18 million ($24M) no longer looks prohibitive; there aren't too many young players who are intelligent, fast and able to play in any position in attacking midfield.

Pos to Bane/Philos

Worst performer off the pitch

Former Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen was supposed to wake up Hamburger SV, the sleeping giant of German football, and overhaul the top-heavy, expensive squad with some clever signings. The 55-year-old instead fudged the decision about Oenning's removal during the summer and bought five players from the Chelsea reserves to plunge the club into a veritable relegation battle. "I don't underestimate [the Bundesliga]," Arnesen insisted this week. "That only happens to people who have no clue and no experience. I have a clue and experience, too." New manager Thorsten Fink will probably steady the ship in weeks to come but so far, Arnesen has done nothing to justify his reputation as a shrewd international operator, nor his high salary.

Must-do-better

1. Sotiros Kyrgiakos, Wolfsburg. The Greek defender has continued where we left off in Liverpool. His record reads 1-1-5 in seven games but the numbers can't convey the extent of his ineptitude.

2. Ilkay Gündogan, Dortmund. Not a bad player by any stretch of the imagination but the midfielder has been lacking the brain and know-how to replace captain Nuri Sahin.

3. Michael Mancienne, HSV. What was Arnesen thinking?

Ones to watch

3. Moritz Leitner, Dortmund. The 18-year-old has gone from playing in the second division with 1860 to starting in central midfield for the champions in the Champions League.

2. Mohammed Abdellaoue, Hannover. The 26-year-old Norwegian of Moroccan descent no longer lingers in the shadow of team mate Didier Ya Konan. A fast, clever, hardworking striker.

1. Lars Stindl, Hannover. The 23-year-old midfielder has played every game this season and scored a wonderful goal against Kopenhagen in the Europa League. He looks certain to upgrade his career from also-ran to secret star. At least.

Van Basten to coach Heerenveen next season

Sporting have sacked Paciencia (The guy who ended Liverpool last season and took Braga to the Europa League Final) and replaced him with Sa Pinto (former Sporting and Portuguese International)

It starting to become clearer this saga

Paciencia was a striker for Porto many moons ago. Was coach of Braga done well so Sporting hired him last summer.

Recently he has been holding talks with PDC(Porto's president) about quitting Sporting for Porto

Sporting directors found out he was gonna snake them at the end of this season so they sacked him

:lol:
