I thought Per was born in 85. Mertesacker "not so much better" than freaking Huth? Mertesacker has been performing on a high level for two years. He was one of the best defenders at the WC. Hannover has conceded 11 goals in the first three games without him, that says it all. Huth MIGHT turn out to be a class defender but it's definitely a risk to sign him for that insane fee. And I doubt Boro have more money than Bremen tbh.
As for Hamburg, yeah, losing VdV for two months sucks for them but Sorin gives them more flexibility.
Demel - Kompany - Mathijsen - Sorin
-------------- de Jong --------------
Jarolim ------ Trochowski -------- Atouba
