Jan (@JanAageFjortoft)  and Markus (@MarkusFjortoft) are back, albeit with a slight delay, as scheduling issues prevented the normal weekend review from taking place. However, after a week filled with European games for seven German teams, there are rumors emerging from the Bayern camp suggesting that Thomas Müller might be considering a departure. Are they true? Florian Wirtz's contract is set to expire in 2025, and the persistent transfer links that have lingered for the past few seasons have resurfaced once again. The question remains: Are these rumors true, and what draws these German superstars to Bayern? Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer has hit the ground running for Bayern. Should he automatically be selected as Germany's number one goalkeeper?

There is trouble in the kingdom of Dortmund! How do we analyze their situation? What should we expect from Borussia Dortmund, and is there something wrong with their culture?

They have now equaled Guardiola's Bayern from the 2015/16 season for the best start to a Bundesliga season. Harry Kane is en route to beat Lewandowski's "unbeatable" record for goals in a season if he continues his unreal goalscoring form, as he scored two in their win against Heidenheim.  Jan (@JanAageFjortoft)  and Markus (@MarkusFjortoft) pick their players of the week, in addition to a short 2. Bundesliga update!
