You’d think they’d cover the entirety of his wages if they’re not being charged a loan fee. Hope he makes the most of his opportunity, mind you.
Fair enough, didn’t really take that into consideration.
Have I made an error here somewhere?
I think Bremen is a good choice for a loan. As far as wide attackers go Bittencourt and Rashica are really their only established options. The former is rather mediocre, the latter might very well be sold still. Between their brush with relegation last season and the Corona situation they probably don't have any money to spend, so odds are they are hoping to use Chong as a genuine option in attack. With Kohfeldt they also have a progressive coach, who (aside from last season's fight for survival) usually tries to play relatively positive football.
Reports like these are why I'm certain that di Marzio is a storyteller. In CM Dortmund have: Witsel, Can, Delaney, Dahoud, Bellingham, Brandt (situationally) and another young prospect in Raschl. There have been zero hints at any of them leaving and we all know money is tight at the moment.
Nine and a half? Ffs
Long for the days when we had: striker or centre forward, playmaker, deep lying centre forward. Now we have made up numbers
Labeling positions by their associated number isn't some fad, it's been done for decades: #1 for GK, #6 for a DM, #7 is your iconic winger, #8 for a CM, #9 for your striker, #10 for your midfield maestro. By #9.1/2 coaches mean someone playing a role between that of a striker and a central attacking midfielder. If I remember correctly Mourinho used the term quite frequently as well.
Chong's on 30k a week.
He has more than Scott McTominay last year (10k) before Scott signed a new contract this year & Mensah had 15k.

I’d have - not I’d of
One LB would do us, move Williams to RB to rotate with AWB. Remember how good AWB was for the first half of the season, he's simply knackered. Williams could then provide the option against smaller teams.
Think Ole knows the squad needs serious strengthening and said so tonight, he isn't stupid. He has now put the onus on Ed to get it done and if not, then Ed will get the blame.
Isn't that the whole problem. It is a squad, the bench options should also be good enough to start. That is what has led to our fall, a good first team but rubbish bench. The players who come in should be capable of starting, but also make the bench a threat as well.
Yeah I also think we’re definitely still trying on that front. I don’t see us giving up on Sancho just as yet. I’m pretty sure Sancho will be our player by the time the window closes.He had a wry smile when they mentioned Sancho, didn’t give too much away but reading his body language it seemed to me we are at least still trying on that front.
Would expect him to be a bit more stern on his reply if we weren’t but reading body language is a nonsense really
We’ll just take our time paying up. Can’t be seen spending such a huge amount during this pandemic until we show we have truly tested Dortmunds resolve and we had no other options left.
Villa will price him out of a move. That is their good right, because he is their best player and they have enough money. We also wont pay over 50m for him, since he would improve our squad, but not necessarily start when everyone is fit.
My mistake, I’m writing it as I would say it.
Now the season has ended I look forwards to this thread being a positive and enjoyable place for the next few weeks.
That is their right, but its sorta shitty from them. In 2018, he was priced out of a move to Tottenham after their new owner had promised to sell him if PL team came for him. He never made a fuss about it and became the most important reason for their promotion and survival. Now, they seem to be doing the exact same thing.
I'd hope we could get a deal done for £30m + 20/30 in add on, Villa also know we need reinforcements to add to squad depth.
Has Stengs from AZ Alkmaar been linked with anyone recently? Looked a tidy prospect when we played them.
It is their right, but if they value him at, for example £80m, then they probably need to give him a new contract to reflect that importance to them otherwise they're admitting he's not actuallt a £80m player.
I'd love Dayot here but we may look at Pau Torres or as you say Badiashile in the mean time.

Not really. He isn't ready for a big team such as Utd too I think. Would be wise to go to a decent German side first for example.
Yeah Sancho, Badiashile and Grealish would be great but sadly feels very unrealistic
so then... the expected flurry of United transfer news after going out of a cup hasn't materialised this morning... interesting... or rather, not interesting.
Yeah far too quiet for my liking today,hate to say it but we may well have to get Grealish and look at another RW instead which I know people won't want to hear
This is exactly why I don't hold Ill feelings towards players that make a fuss until they get the move they want. A footballers career is so short in the grand scheme of things, if you as a player want to progress you should take the opportunity whenever you can and really go after it. Don't be passive and let owners/managers renegotiate and go back on their promises
We need both but we definitely won’t buy both.
Agreed. More likely we ll sign one of them and an "inexpensive" cb
I can think of better players to spend the best part of £200M on, we need squad depth.
Sancho is a rip off at €120M, Grealish is an even bigger rip off at £80M.
Could i get down and dirty with Megan Fox? Pheck yeah i could!
Unlikely though, despite my good looks...
Probably. We really need a LB too though
Yeah, I don't think Dortmund are bluffing anymore
Nice bit of insight. My cat could have told you that.

The tweet makes no sense at all does it?
Not really, a selection of loosely connected statements with nothing to connect them together.
