    Dortmund are a CL winner and multiple German champion. For my entire life, Dortmund has been Bayerns most fierce competitor in the country with a short Werder Bremen/Thomas Schaaf break in between.

    They are currently underachieving.

    A player twice as expensive and half as good. Van De Beek is Khedira tier.

    Khedira was better than Isco in these last two seasons

    Not at all. Khedira was a regular for the Germany NT when he was here.. .. Isco hasn’t gotten a call in ages..

    Khedira has only played over 2000 minutes in the league once since he left Germany in 2012. A career substitute player that barely made a difference anywhere.

    And are you seriously telling me Isco made any difference to our team this season, last season, or the one before that?

    Are we a team that fields substitutes because of what they did 4 years ago..? If we are, which is apparently the case with Isco.. it is called mediocrity

    Few years late in getting him really.

    Interesting to see who is dropped for him because I can’t see him going to be a bench player.

    Are you A. Going to compare a Khedira in his early 20s to an Isco approaching his 30s? And B. figure signing the 2020 version of a player we signed for free in Khedira for 50 to 60 mil. In Van de Beek?

    If we're going to keep a roster spot occupied by an average player, I'd rather it be the guy we don't have to pay half the club transfer record for.


    Isco is a quality squad player that is affordable and a positive locker room presence. That's worth having in the team. Wheeling and dealing with squad players is something teams that lack real chemistry do.

    We need to otherwise the quality of our rooster goes down hill..
    No interest in Thiago whatsoever and Liverpool jumped immediately on that cheap deal..

    i have no idea what you mean by a positive locker room presence .

    Is Thiago also cheap in wages or are those paid by the tooth fairy?

    Juventus trying to enforce 3 points vs Napoli due to Napoli being unable to travel because of covid regulations is the most Juventus thing ever. Great family that.

    Apparently. I thought we were talking about football and quality and not locker room conversations ..




    Imagine trying to defend a football player and the best quality you can come up with is “brings positive locker room atmosphere “
    lol

    He's been doing this for too long for it to be good form. It's been well over a year now.

    He will be a bench/rotation player.

    Was VDB worth 55-60m pre-Covid?

    He has no system risk, it is the 3rd team in a row where he has scored goals off the go.

    Alcacer was also scoring for fun during his start with BVB and I don't even know where he's playing now. Jovic looked hot with Frankfurt, as did Haller.

    Haaland looks MUCH better than them however. It's gonna be a real battle to sign him next summer and I don't know if we can go for both him and Mbappe.

    City need to move on from Pep

    That is as spineless of a team as you'll find for that level of talent
