I’m also pretty sure United or Liverpool would never put themselves in situations where the other can pick up their players for free or cheap on release clauses.
The thick shits have done the same now, and I wouldn’t at all be surprised if Haaland seamlessly takes over from Lewa.
Well run clubs prevent the Götze & Lewa, Hummels situations from happening. Strengthening your closest competitors whilst weakening yourselves is the worst thing you can do in football; yet Dortmund let it happen without a fight. It also sets a horrific precedent and firmly cements you as a feeder club rather than a rival, all future players now know this, join Dortmund and you can go to Bayern later.
United were prepared to take Heinze to court ffs
They’d have sold him to Europe for a quid rather than see him at Liverpool.
Dortmund are as stupid as Arsenal and their situations as a side note in their leagues are no surprise.
Do any of you defending Dortmund on losing those players think there’s a cat in hells chance Pogba will be allowed to join Liverpool on a free?
Would Greenwood be allowed a low release clause so City can just nab him after he scores a WC winner?
