Nuri Sahin, Shinji Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, Dembele, Emre Mor, Ginter, Alexander Isak show that Borussia's 'star transfers' lack something at the highest levels. Looking good for Dortmund and looking good for Real M, Man Utd, Bayern, Barcelona are different things completely.
That's an extremely young and inexperience front 5 or 6 depending on whether you include Sancho. Great potential, but those players will take a good 2-3 seasons before hitting their stride.
I don't think we're getting Sancho anyway tbh. But it'd be an either or scenario is my guess. Greenwood and James rotate on the right, Rashford has the left wing his, and then Martial and Haaland would fight it out for the middle. All are very versatile and can play in more than just the 1 position anyway, apart from Haaland who is just a classic #9, so I think it'd be a really good balance. Obviously all young, but wouldn't be crowded with them 5 and would ensure we have cover no matter what. If we get Sancho and no Haaland, then I'd see it as Greenwood fighting it out with Martial, James squad player for the wing/bench option and that's that (with only Martial/Greenwood as the 2 strikers, which I wouldn't be too keen on).
That's why they are ITK. They leak news before it becomes official.
If he wasn't encouraged by us Ole would have shut down any interest and said we aren't pursuing him. The club has briefed the media accordingly before (see De Ligt).
There should be 6, and adding Sancho in the summer would be fantastic. It´s a long season, suddenly 2-3 attackers are out injured at the same time, or out of form.
These are Dortmund ‘stars’ that failed to make the transition at bigger clubs. My point is signing for Dortmund as a stepping stone doesn’t necessarily guarantee he will succeed at bigger clubs.
I hope your right mate.
Once SAF said Charlie Adam's corner kicks worth 10 mil.
Which part(s)? His rap skills? Or sleeping with all his hat trick balls in his bed and calling those his girlfriends? What about waking up to the Champions League anthem every morning?
His representative, I believe, is his father. Raiola is just an adviser. I think it´s up to Haaland, really.
Maybe Ole was having a dig at the ones who want him to go elsewhere.
Emre Mor went to Celta de Vigo
Nope. It’s reported news but like with a lot of Liverpool’s signings gone under the radar probably because of fee /league.
That’s when pool were trying to buy him. Both genius and hilarious
It was spoken about as common knowledge on Sunday Supplement... they were asking the lady journo whose spent time getting to know everyone in Salzburg why the release clause are so low and she said they do it because they don’t want to prohibit players that they develop from moving. But for Haaland they prefer he stays an extra season or goes to Germany, apparently they build very good relationships with the players that they develop and try to advise on the next step that they think is best.
Yeah which is why Haaland is a tricky one to call.
Don't think you can play for two teams in cl during the same season
Wtf are you trying to say here? First of all it was Zlatan who took martials number. Best than him? Lukaku is better than Martial? Is that what you are saying!?
What a stupid post. You think we will be out of the champions league forever?
You're right. RB is big league. We're minnows.
Not so sure now he's with The Athletic.
I believe you but I think the only people that really know what's going on is Haaland and senior. I doubt any would gossip to the teammates.
This isn't coming from teammates, though. This is coming from senior members of staff involved with the national team even back in his father's playing days.
Not the same club. Have the same parent company. Like Man City and New York
