I think Leverkusen have done really well, selling Son for a lot of money and bringing in Chicharito and Kampl instead. Should definitely help them. Too bad that their other new player Aranguiz tore his achilles tendon last week.

Horrible few days for Wolfsburg though. They have lost their two best attacking players in De Bruyne and Perisic (who has joined Inter). Dante is well past it and Draxler has been underwhelming for a couple of years now, yet still they paid A LOT of money for him now. Reckon they won't be able to challenge Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen this year.
You're right, I re-read what I wrote and I'm thinking, 'WTF, Chicharito went to Leverkusen and I forgot to mention Draxler...'

I was composing another post in another window and lost focus. My apologies.

I didnt see the fee for Draxler, I thought that was a good pickup.

I also didnt realize that Dortmund let Blaszczykowski and Grosskreutz go. Those are huge losses but they obviously arent feeling the effects.
