- Rumors are linking Rafael Sobis with a move to Hoffenheim. Betis seem to want 8 million for him.

Most likely. I've expected such activities by Hoffenheim.

What's Wolfsburg doing, now that they have a good defense? Any new striker?

LaPalma, what do you think of Jürgen Klopp as new BVB manager? I personally disliked him at Mainz. He just was...irritating.

I don't think Wolfsburg needs to strengthen it's attack. They already have a very good striker in Grafite and very talented one in Edin Dzeko although it was rumored that Magaths wanted Quagliarella and/or di Natale. They don't need them IMO as they have, besides their solid strikers, two very good goalscoring midfielders in Marcelinho and Misimovic. But you never know. They have the money and Magath is always looking out for some good additions.
Klopp might be the most popular coach (he really knows how to interact with the media and yes...he really is funny. Plus he's a very popular TV expert at the German TV) in Germany and I think he's a good one too. He's a good tactician and is desperate to establish some kinda team spirit at Dortmund. Something they lacked since Ottmar Hitzfeld. I read some things about the way he works at Dortmund....he could do something good there. There's one very important goal he already achieved...the fans love him (unlike Thomas Doll).

Mh, Doll was disliked, I know. But what about Matthias Sammer? Remember his time at BVB as coach? He made a real team with Kohler, Reuter, Wörns, Dede, Koller, Rošicky, Amoroso...ahh...does were the days when Dortmund could take it with Bayern and Bayer and actually had the money. But later it turend out that...well, it was a miscalculation.

And good transfer news for Dortmund? I think Klopp has to deal with many real bad players or mistaken signings. Nelson Valdez, Buckley, etc. At least they got rid of Armedick.

Amedick has already been sold (wise decision). Buckley will most likely end up playing for Bielefeld next season.
Sammers team was very very good...of course. But as you said they spent a lot of money back then and are (as you know) in huge dept because of that era now. Koller and Rosicky had be sold, Kohler and Reuter retired years ago, Amoroso turned out to be a huge flop after one season...only Dede is left. And of course he's the most popular era among Dortmund fans. He gave the club a lot and still does.
