I'd add Vidic to the list as well, purely based on his defense abilities, but I think Rio's a little bit more assured on United's back line. Vidic can have a tendency to let frustration set in as close games wear on, which ultimately lead to bad like decisions giving away free kicks in dangerous areas and such. Rio's got a tad more resolve to mind his head when the games get tight. He's part of the reason United were able to grind out so many close wins last season. But as we all know, a close win is still 3 points in the bag, which all adds up come May. And there's the mastermind of Sir Alex at work. The calm assuredness of a Rio Ferdinand to compliment the tenacity of Nemanja Vidic, and alongside them you have marauding wing backs in who can also cover in defense in Chris Smalling and Patrice Evra. Quite the intimidating back four.

He just won the league with Dortmund and its a very good team currently. Why in the world would he leave? lol.

Jurgen Klopp's built a time that will challenge for a while if everybody stays. They've even coped with the loss of Sahin. Let's see how Dortmund do this year though. I have a feeling if things turn pear-shaped and they don't make it through the UCL knock-out phase, and don't look good in the Bundesliga, Gotze may move.

Better chance to go for M'Vila and Marin though.

Why did Karim Benzema leave Olympique Lyon for Madrid when they won Ligue 1? Why did Manuel Neuer leave Schalke after they were runners up in the Bundesliga and managed to make it to the Champions League semi-final? Don't get me wrong, I love Dortmund; love their playing style, love their manager, love their youth system, love the supporters, I even love their home ground. But like I wrote a few pages back, most footballers(especially of his quality), want to play at the absolute top. I don't want to diminish Dortmund or start some banter about which club is bigger than the other, but if Real Madrid, Milan, Bayern, Inter or United come calling, you have to say someone like Götze is going to be interested. I'm willing to bet if he shines the way we know he can during the early stages of the Champions League this fall, someone will make a very reasonable offer for him during the January transfer window. And Dortmund just might sell.

or a double brace

Like lambs to the slaughter

I think the Dutch will be one of the Euro favorites. Ozil with the hat against the Austrians as well, good show for the Germans, although our newest signing rode the pine, guess he needed a rest...

I hear he was caught in the dressing room still wearing an Arsenal shirt by mistake
