Holtby would be a dead end for them, no real motivation to play and out in six months. His game could have suffered a lot (of course the word here is "could"...), so why not sell him now and plan for the long term?

Besides, I never considered Holtby a great player. He was average in most of the games for Schalke. He was never a real brain of this team and thats what he should have been if we look at his position on the pitch.

This also puts him out of at least the first leg of the Champions League encounter against Galatasaray.

Trying out the new code, eh?

So he'll miss against us.

Huntelaar injured his knee ligaments in the Dortmund victory today.



Not looking good at all, he may be out for the rest of the season.

Poor man. He was just getting back to his early season form. A huge loss for Schalke.

Huntelaar has rifted a little part of a ligament in his knee

He will not need a surgery but will miss for few weeks

It seems that sitting on the bench does indeed make you homesick

Hey, that's Borusse

Now the this season is nearing its end, I'd really like Schalke to be the team to play for CL playoffs.
There still might be trouble as AC Milan or Arsenal/Tottenham might be drawn against them.
However, what I would like to know is your views about who should be the coach there next season? (I know, I know. We're settled so I wanted a coach transfer to discuss about )

1. Jens Keller : He did control their slump in form. But it's his first big experience and Schalke would most probably won't continue with him.
2. Robert Di Matteo : Well, his appointment could be awkward. Seeing how that lucky bastard got away with beating Pep's Barca and Bayern. Now Pep will be at Bayern. He did give Chelsea a very good start in the beginning of the season but couldn't keep it up. But still an interesting prospect.
3. Armin Veh : I read Heldt was interested but I believe Veh just signed one year extension with Frankfurt(I remember something about it, Please confirm). He would have been a very good choice seeing what he has done with Frankfurt and could have even taken away a few players along with himself.
4. David Moyes : Now here is a guy who has enough experience and tactical knowledge. And he's disappointed with the board for providing a thin squad. Plus he wants to compete in Europe. Also, he provides a very stable option. Even ManU supporters prefer him if SAF were to retire.
I'd like such a dedicated and appreciated coach to come to BuLi. He's stated that he might one day want to coach in Germany and even Schalke are behind him. He'll be in CL and we rob EPL of it's gem.

I would like to hear whom would you prefer to come to Schalke as a BuLi supporter.

I'd love for Di Matteo to come to Schalke, it would make his eventual firing due to him being shit just sweeter.
