Christ, looks like we're only getting Adnan back if Reus comes with him.
Don't know about Mata but he's twice the player centrally than on the wings.
Also, I fear he's having a good time there.... he wont wanna come back?
just reached home and saw that adnan is starting today. bvb losing at PAOK 60 mins gone.
just started watching.
anyone following the match? how is adnan doing?

I can live with that.
Looks like he's on the right. Oh, he's just been subbed, 84'.
He was decent and was involved in a couple of dangerous chances for Dortmund. He was a bit more reserved with his dribbling and had a couple of really good passes I'm sure. Not a star performance, but still a good one. You could tell he was tired toward the end of the second half. He was on the left, but then switched centrally.
Any highlights from tonight?
I'm a minute into that video and Januzaj has been off the edge of the image 95% of the time. Bit pointless.
half decent vid
Bit rough round the edges.
You guys think there's any chance he'll be involved in der Klassiker?
Possibly as a sub.
I think he's behind in terms of tactics, so I don't think he will feature unless Dortmund are behind or clearly winning.

Would have be nice to see him and Periera on the bench today.
Came on about 10 minutes into the second half.
Played from the right when he came on and had a couple of decent runs, Dortmund were really on the back foot by then though.
Yeah if you look at his performance in a vacuum than it doesn't look as good as it was in the context of the match. He looked the liveliest when he came on at 4-1. He still has to learn how to press like Dortmund want him to and also get used to their quick passing game.
Not a great performance IMO. Very static lot of times. So many times needed more than a couple of touches to get the ball under control. Didn't really have any great passes or great dribbles either. Good set piece deliveries though. That's about it.
Yeah, but his pass to Reus in the first half was really good.
Good to see him getting on the pitch.
I still don't understand why he's there? I mean, it's great for him and us, but what's in it for Dortmund? Do they not have enough talented youngsters, and could they not buy young German prospects and give they game time instead, to benefit from it later on? Unless they are planning to buy him from us, there doesn't seem to be much in it for them?
Well it was a last minute deal after they sold some of their squad players, so maybe Dortmund loaned Januzaj because they wanted to postpone the issue instead of spending a lot of money on a suboptimal solution. They seem to have a talented bunch of youngsters coming through, Passlack especially is getting a lot of media recognition already, but I believe most of them aren't even 18 years old yet, so they probably needed a short term solution who could perform right away while they ease their own youngsters into professional football.
Unused sub against Mainz today.
Should have been starting for us this weekend instead.
Mate, if he's unused against mainz he won't be starting against Everton who will get stuck into any weak link.
I want the lad to make it but he needs another year or two imo

People seriously are not expecting him to be subbed on every game right?
That's to be expected. The move was almost always going to be a move from our bench to theirs. The season is still very young, he may break his way into their first team at some point.
Wouldn't expect that TBH but his minutes in the Europa League are better: 174 minutes out of 180.
Would I be wrong to assume he would be starting games if any one of the three (in a 4231) were to be out injured or suspended?
he would be getting gametime here as well, look how poor memphis plays, Adnan would get chances to play form the flank once again, Van Gaal only tried him behind the striekr and as a striker.. anyway hope he does well there, the change of climate will help to be stronger and he will grow as a man I guess when he comes back. Also no negative environment in terms of Van Gaal's possession tactics
If he's not starting for Dortmund, why should he be starting for us?
Reus, Micky, and Kagawa have all been better than Memphis, Mata and Rooney.
