MOLLER & SCHALKE TO PART COMPANY?

Huub Stevens, the Royal Blues coach, has lambasted his underperforming players, most publicly Emile Mpenza, after poor performances in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Playmaker Moller has also felt the wrath of the Dutchman, and German media reports suggests the experienced midfielder could leave the ArenaAufSchalke.

"We will hold talks with Moller in the winter break," explained Assauer.

"Both parties will carefully examine whether a continued working together still makes sense." 

Moller joined Schalke last season from rivals Borussia Dortmund and was a driving force behind the club's title bid, the Gelsenkirchen side finished runners-up, but the team look a shadow of themselves this year, as does the 34-year-old.
