Gladbach keeps building roster

Hans Meyer's efforts to avoid relegation have been bolstered with the announcement of defender Dante joining the club from Standard de Liège. The twenty-five year-old Brazilian will make a sizable improvement in the defending core and represents a commitment by the club far beyond avoiding relegation. Per the club web-site Borussia Mönchengladbach Sport Director Max Eberl noted that while he has been used at left-back because of Standard de Liège problems, they "see him more as a central defender, just as he himself does."
