FSV Mainz 05

They've brought back Mohamed Zidan, who scored 9 goals for the team last year while out on loan from Bremen. He'll join Romanian Marius Niculae in trying to revive Mainz's toothless attack.

But scoring goals isn't the club's only problem. Their horrendous defense, which conceded 30 goals, has led Jürgen Klopp to bring in a psychiatrist to toughen up his players mentally. "We're willing to try anything," Klopp said, "including this voluntary offer to the players."

But Mainz may have dug themselves too deep a hole. After earning only eleven points in the season's first half, nothing short of a miraculous comeback is needed, if Mainz is to spend a fourth season in Germany's top flight.
