Every now and then, you come across a story that just makes your brain grind to a screeching halt. Fox Sports reported such a story this morning. Apparently, Schalke defender and former Manchester City man, Matija Nastasic, was sold...for a washing machine.
Marco Fabian made his Bundesliga debut Sunday in Eintracht Frankfurt's 3-2 win over Wolfsburg. The Mexican winger proved to be effective down the left side, and had a positive effect on the game, setting up Alexander Meier's winner for Frankfurt in stoppage time.

Chicharito has been lighting the Bundesliga up this season, which paved the way for his national team teammate Marco Fabian to transfer from Chivas Guadalajara to Eintracht Frankfurt. But will Fabian be as successful as the Little Pea? We may get our first indication Sunday.

What can you say about the little pea that hasn't already been said? Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored his 17th goal in his last 14 games — he has 19 total this season — to give Bayer Leverkusen a 1-0 win over FC Ingolstadt 04 Saturday.

After Chicharito transferred to Bayer Leverkusen from Manchester United this summer, then proceeded to rip the Bundesliga apart (he was named Bundesliga player of the month for November, and was just named player of the week for last week), another Mexico international attacker is headed to Germany — Marco Fabian is officially headed to Eintracht Frankfurt.
This is exciting news, because Fabian can do stuff like this:
