Maybe it wasn't him.
A clone.
He was under the influence when he did it.
Why would he sign a contract at a club that seems to POSSIBLY be relegated? Unless....Marco Reus is the realest footballer playing today?
So, Reus, one of the most sought after players, one would think is focusing on his release clause just like Lewandowski so he can get the heck out of this sinking ship. Because the modern footballer does not put the club and fans first...surely.
Now, before you hail Reus is the saviour of all mankind and get Spielberg and Frank Darabont to script up a movie about what a sweetheart he is....there is method to this madness. And if you connect the dots and just use the thing called a brain...this is a commendable strategy.
Reus is going. He knows that and Dortmund know that. But Reus also knows that Dortmund will need help whether or not they get relegated. So instead of leaving on a free, clubs will now have to cough up somewhere in the region of fifty to sixty million for one of the BEST attacking midfielders in the world. This means that even if Reus leaves, he leaves the club with something, a helping hand to allow them to rebuild for next season.
And you know what, that is a GREAT move. Because it's still a gamble. He could get another serious injury, the price may just be too high for the big teams to play which means he would be tied to that contract and would have to say. So when you look at that fact, it's quite rare decision for someone in modern football to make. It just doesn't happen. Players are so worried about getting THEIRS, that they could give two haribos about what state they leave their club in.
So Reus, my brother.....nice one. But there's now an important job at hand......KEEP DORTMUND AFLOAT!!!!
