Little better but not quite there - 2020 Summer Transfer Thread

Apart from 3-4 teams it looks like cannon fodder for Bayern rb and Dortmund

 

Hoffenheim, who are twelfth, beat Bayern 4-1.

 

I like Dortmund. I’ve always wanted to go to a game in each country for my favourite side in that league

Dortmund
Marseille
Porto
Rangers
Ac Milan
Athletico Madrid

I'd love to go to a game in Dortmund, assuming we don't all die of COVID.

 

Yeah me too! Anfield also is on my bucket list. Not sure how realistic this is for me now.

 

With record new infections during the last two days, no one is going to let us in unless they have a quarantine exception and even if they do allow travelers in after they have quarantined, that means you are investing a couple of weeks to see one game.

 

I'm sitting in my underwear slobbering on my fingernail clippings that I left on the kitchen table from last night, that I had cut while listening to a bunch of international jackasses on zoom give me a play-by-play about these mind-numbing election proceedings, in a country that not only fought to defeat fascism, but was just shy of democratically electing a fascist, and looks to be on the verge of electing another one in the decades to come.

So ready to travel.

Totally agree about covid though. Sucks.

 

You need to read/listen to better sources. Wasn’t really ever in doubt.

(He says because he knew that intellectually, despite being a wreck emotionally this whole time.)

 

Oof, my doubts are just starting, with Tuesday sleepy times the deja vu. How was polling so off again? Latinos in Texas hand Trump the victory? 48% want fascism? We've gone mad.

 

The mark always has a problem admitting they were conned.

 

It is a great stadium and there isn't anything obstructing your view in the away in unlike at Everton.

Sunderland, M'Boro, and Celtic Park aren't bad either. Portsmouth in terms of viewing the match wasn't bad, but getting to the seats is a nightmare. Newcastle depends on if you are on the 100th floor of St. James or not.

 

(skip to 7:25 for the Arsenal talk)

Ornstein with some transfer rumors. Doesn't expect any new signings in January unless there are additional outgoings beyond a loan deal or two for the likes of ESR or Saliba. Says they are working on summer 2021 with the top targets being a creative attacking option, preferably on the right, and a right sided CB.

Also says Roma made a substantial offer for Lacazette over the summer but Arsenal turned it down because it fell below their valuation. Considering his recent play and contract status, it would have to be a pretty poor offer for me to not consider it. At this point, would you turn down 20m for Laca? 15m?

Anyone want to start a January transfer thread?
