It’s official: Ebi Smolarek is now a member of Racing Santander. The transfer fee was actually less than I originally reported, as the two clubs came to an agreement at €4million. This, unfortunately, only sees BVB pocketing €2million. The other half will be sent to Feyenoord Rotterdam.
In other news, Westline is reporting that Sebastian Kehl […]

Just as it appeared as if he was blazing the comeback trail, Alex Frei has been hit with a torn calf muscle that is expected to keep him out an additional three weeks. The earliest the team expects him to be back is the September 14th match against Werder Bremen.

Alex Frei is back. And it’s about time.
In a friendly match (staged for charity) against DJK Greven, Frei scored two goals in a 8-0 Borussia Dortmund win. Hey, atleast we’re awesome at beating up on crappy teams throughout Germany (but when it comes to world powers like MSV Duisburg, we’re helpless…).

After AS Roma completely blew their chance, Newcastle United are now believed to be after the services of Dede. That is, if you believe FansFC, who say that Sam Allardyce is “keen” to sign the Brazilian.

Sorry Roma fans, but Michael Zorc has extinguished any and all rumors of a potential Dede transfer to AS Roma. Apparently Roma were offering well below what Dortmund were looking for (€10million was the magic number), and as a result, all contact between the two clubs has been broken off.

Frei, Federer, and Anderlecht
By: Steven | No Comments
Well, it now looks like we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to see Alex Frei back in training with Borussia Dortmund. And it’s not because his recovery took a turn for the worse. It is because Thomas Doll has told Frei to take his time in rehab, saying that it’s “not good to […]
Preseason progressing well

The official Bundesliga website has a story entitled “A magician in Dortmund” on their main page today. The magician in question is new signing Mladen Petric. Apparently he loves to perform magic, but the story is more focused on him playing as an emergency goalkeeper for FC Basel and saving a penalty kick.
