<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Ya, I feel sorry for Klopp. Excellent manager but losing his players now. </font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Dortmund luckily have an advantage over Arsenal in regards to youth development. It is much easier to develop young German stars than it is to develop English stars as the Germans are developed in a straight system from a young age. The English are brought up in two ways. One way (mainly long ball, kick and run) and then once they are around 16-17 they are forced into the Arsenal way but they have a tough time adjusting. That is why Arsenal and many other English teams buy and mainly produce other foreigners. This also affects the English negatively as these foreigners need to adjust to the English way and the physicality but they can't.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Also Dortmund got an array of talent in the Bundesliga just waiting to be picked up. Losing Robert Lewandowski? Then try these other top Bundesliga strikers like Stefan Kießling, Vedad Ibisevic, Ádam Szalai, Mame Biram Diouf. Or use your Champions League power to attract Premier League guys who would also be cheap options like Christen Benteke.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">So ya, they will be fine. Sadly I do not see them making it this far again (unless they keep the core of there squad) but they will definitely be a force for many years to come.</font></div>
