On the month...
A very good month overall. We notched five wins out of five games this month, even though Wolfsburg and Hamburger results were closer than I would like, but still strong win against Atletico which has gone a long way in boosting the morale of the players. Hopefully we continue this form as we move into October and take on Benfica!

Thanks guys! Thank you everyone for reading and commenting on this story! You dont know how much it means to me I really want to take this save as far as I can, and let's hope that is what happens!

On the month...
A very nice month again! We won five of five games, which keeps us at the top of the Bundesliga and the CL Group Stages! I feel really confident of progressing in the CL, but we will have to be wary of Atletico this month when we play them at Vicente Calderón. However, this month the midfield played really well. The defence looks good as well, except for a few mistakes here and there. We had our best match against Leverkusen this month, a match that I think we could have win more if we had Lewa with us, since we hit the woodwork four times and missed many more. We are coping with his departure quite well thus far though. The win against Schalke in the Rivier derby lifted the team, especially since we came back from being a goal down to beating them, at VELTINS Arena! Heja BVB!

Gündo?an pens bumper contract

http://static.sportskeeda.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/gundogan-2080710.jpg
Gündo?an has made 17 competitive appearances for Dortmund thus far, scoring 9 goals and making 7 assists

2nd November 2013

?lkay Gündo?an has extended his stay at Dortmund by signing a new contract with the German club that will see his wage rise from £24,500 a week to a mammoth £70,000 a week! His new contract will also see Gündo?an stay with Der BVB for the next five years. GOAL.com sources tell us that Dortmund opened up contract negotiations with Gündo?an's agent after the player approached manager Klopp stating his wishes to be offered a new contract. His agent and Dortmund had a very long drawn negotiation process with the two sides finally settling for a five year £70,000 deal. Gündo?an has been one of Dortmund's key players this season, and his importance experienced only a rise after star striker Robert Lewandowski left the club to join rivals Bayern Munich in a £32 million deadline day deal.

Gündo?an is said to be delighted at having extended his stay at Signal Iduna Park, stating that he loved the place and he loved playing under manager Jürgen Klopp. Dortmund manager Jürgen Klopp, also, expressed similar feelings, stating that he was extremely pleased that Gündo?an would be around for longer now, also adding that Gündo?an has been one of the best players at the club, and has been in stunning form for the black and yellows this season.

Gündo?an joined Dortmund from 1. FC Nürnberg for £3.5 million in the year 2011, and has quickly seen his value rise due to his inspired performances for the Dortmund team, which currently sit atop the Bundesliga, 12 points ahead of second placed Wolfsburg.

On the month...
When you put this month in contrast with the ones that we have already had this season, it was not so good. Although the Atletico draw was commendable, the draw against Hertha was certainly not, and neither was coming so close against a team such as Freiburg. The only positive from the month was the 5-0 victory over Stuttgart, which tells us that on our day, we can dispose of quality opposition with ease, and look good doing it. Qualifying from the CL group is another positive, which gives me a chance to experiment with the youngsters when we play against Benfica.
