Neven Subotic is one of the top young centerbacks playing in Europe, but his future is under threat after Geman authorities opened a sexual assault investigation against him.

Subotic and three others are under investigation after a 21-year-old woman claimed she was the victim of a sexual assault.

Es gibt keine Platz für Rassismus! Das sagen nicht nur wir, das sagt auch die Band Irié Revoltés und das sagen auch etliche Fussballspieler und -trainer. Wie sie uns diese Message mitteilen ist auch ganz. Sie singen und tanzen in dem Musikvideo der Irié Revoltés mit dem Namem „Viel zu tun" mit und der Name [.

Despite Timmy Chandler's insistence that he wants to play for the United States, a familar name in American soccer has floated the possibility that the German-born fullback might still be considering playing for his native country.

The transfer window is firmly shut, but the rumours just keep on coming as far as Arsenal are concerned. Two new names that are being mentioned today are that of defender Neven Subotic and midfielder Riccardo Montolivo. Neven Subotic plays for Borussia Dortmund and according to some reports he was a target for Arsenal during [.

Liverpool are ready to continue their shopping spree in 2011 with a bid for Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
The Reds have not been shy about spending money in the transfer market since the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) consortium headed by John W Henry took over the club last autumn. In the nine months since they assumed control at Anfield, they have bankrolled the signings of Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez, Charlie Adam, and Jordan Henderson for a combined total of £85m though £50m of that sum has been offset by the January sale of Fernando Torres to Chelsea.

While many Spurs fans consider a new centre half to be as much of a priority as a couple of new strikers, there are very few defenders being linked with a move to White Hart Lane.

Ledley King's return to first team action was welcome but few would expect him to be available for much of 2011-12, while injury stricken team mate Jonathan Woodgate may get a pay as you play deal for next season at best.

Only one team were ever going to win this season's Bundesliga, as Jurgen Klopp's surprise package Borussia Dortmund have impressed from day one with their attacking and free-flowing style of football, reminiscent of the 1997 side that were crowned European Champions. With the league title all but in the bag and BVB set to compete in Europe's top club compeition next season for the first time since 2002, can the German side turn the clock back 15 years and emulate Ottmar Hitzfeld's star-studded side?

For the time being at least, transfer gossip is turning away from Spurs' need for new strikers and looking at the issues in our defence. Injuries to Kaboul, Corluka and briefly Gallas have highlighted the problems in having two long term victims such as King and Woodgate in the squad. Irrespective of the club's plans for those two, it seems likely that Harry will move for at least one new defender in the summer.

Bundesliga 2010/11 Team of the 'Hinrunde' is a post from: Just Football

With the Bundesliga season recently getting back underway, rejuvenated after a healthy 4-week winter break, we thought it about time to take a look back at the first half of the season ('die Hinrunde') and pick out a team of the league's best performers.

Losing the likes of Giuseppe Rossi and Neven Subotic has stung, but the US is exacting some form of revenge with the lastest defection being Bayern Munich's Fabian Hurzeler.
