Wh0t Schürrle plays for Leverkusen.
I always confuse Schürrle's current team with the current one of the other guy who left Mainz 05, Lewis Holtby. I forgive myself as Leverkusen and Schalke are pretty much the same to me anyway: clubs which never win the championship no matter how hard they try.
Besides I wouldn't trust most of the Dortmund players either.
Of course you wouldn't. It's an unwritten German football law to downplay players who are not from Bayern. It's in the media. it's in the football fans. No wonder, as 95% of football experts on German TV are former Bayern players/coaches/presidents (Beckenbauer, Hitzfeld, Effenberg, Kahn, Scholl).

And yet you gave me no reason why Löw should trust them.
Hummels got 15 caps and only his most recent appearance deserved praise. Schmelzer has 6 caps and he hasn't convinced anybody either (though there is still a chance). Götze has also about 15 caps and while he showed some more impressive stuff than Hummels, he could in no way challenge Özil's place or even Müller's who is totally out of form.
Hummels is also the only one who will definitely stay in their starting 11, but mostly because Mertesacker had so many disastrous performances over the past 2 years.
And don't get me wrong. Müller and Lahm were horrible yesterday.
