Solid start to the year with an ok win in the German Cup

I very sloppy played game by us lead to a dramatic ending against a team we should have beaten easily but none the less a win is a win.

Tobias Werner (36)
Tobias Werner
A good result as Kruse and Raffael both pitch in with a goal and an assist to help us defeat Ausburg 2-1
Artjorns Rudnevs (24), Rafael Van Der Vaart (49)
Max Kruse (14), Rafael (20)
Raffael
Another lead blown by our team as we got up early but eventually blew the lead to draw against HSV
League Table
Not the start of the season I was hoping for with two blown leads but its a long season so hopefully we eliminate these blown leads soon
Player of the Month
Max had a great month scoring 4 goals in 5 games including an assist over the month of August earning himself the Gladbach August Player of the Month
Transfers In
I'm happy with this signing and think he will be a big part of the future of Gladbach as not showing up here is Gabriel Barbosa the Brazilian Wonderkid who will be getting a lot of playing time even at his very young ago at the start of next season when he joins
Transfers Out
I was hoping would have interest in more of my players but none the less I though I got great value for De Jong as I play a formation with only one striker and I prefer Max Kruse so I feel like getting $11.25 million was a good deal.
