    The captain has left the club. Thomas Zdebel has joined Bayer Leverkusen. But in regards to how long at Leverkusen, I get conflicting reports.

    Anyhow, this really comes out of the blue for me. I know he has been banished to the reserves like last week with Bochum not giving any reasons for the decision.

    That seems to be the new trend in forcing players out the door.

    I do find it a bit odd that out of all the teams it was Leverkusen that picked him up. He's not the young gun type they've been focused on acquiring and playing. Do you really want a Bochum cast-off at this point, captain or not?

    I also find it peculiar as well on the case of the now-former Bochum captain.

    At least the news about Schalke's Peter Lövenkrands having his contract terminated by the club today makes more sense about the consequences of a player being sent to train with the reserves. Lövenkrands was among the three Schalke players who were sent to train with the reserves since a few days ago or something given Andreas Mueller explained that they only want players who are committed to play for the club. I know Lövenkrands used to talk in the past of wanting to rejoin his former club Rangers. Hmm...
