Cologne are considering drastic measures in order to turn around their stormy season.

They are bottom of the table with 3 points to their name, they parted ways with long-time coach Peter Stöger and their injury list keeps growing and growing. Something must be done at Cologne ahead of their Matchday 16 fixture against leaders Bayern Munich if they are to stop the rot.

Will we see Lukas Podolski return to his boyhood club? Is French goal machine Anthony Modeste on the brink of a Bundesliga comeback?

Reports suggest that Hennes is confident in his ability to turn the club's season around. When asked who the best player in the world is, he replied with a loud "MEEEEEEEEEH!".
