With transfer rumors a plenty things are looking bright in the Bundesliga as we enter the third match of the spring season, the ruckrunde.
Talking Points
Last seasons top goal scorer was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He beat out Robert Lewandowski and made the player get a little mad in doing so. Within seven months the player is doing everything within his power to leave.
Borussia Dortmund was starting hot under Petr Bosz. Then the bottom fell out and in comes Peter Stoger and despite 13 goals on the season Aubameyang wants out to such an extent he has rode the bench the last few matches.
Rumors have it that the selling price is 70 million Euros and in England Arsenal is being fickle on the price. If you were saying the price is 70 and they go up from 53 to 58 million there is understanding as to this ongoing soap opera.
