It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Dortmund have a clear strategy: they only let one key first team player leave a season.

2021: Sancho
2022: Haaland
2023: Bellingham

I’d love to get Bellingham this year but I can’t see it happening.
A lot of people saying this.
But only so many times they can let high transfer fees go

Sancho. United supposedly offered 90m, bought him a year later for 70m

Haaland. Ive no doubt if we had 100m for kane we would have had 100m for haaland, bought a year later for 50m

70m lost in 2 years on 2 players because they were stubborn whilst the team has won fuck all. Only so many times you can keep doing that without getting some reward in form of trophies. Otherwise its terrible business
 
Ederson, Steffan
RBs: Walker, New RB,
CB: Stones, Ake, Laporte, Dias,
LB: Cancelo, Zinchenko.
DM: Rodri, new versatile midfielder,
CM: silva, Kdb, Foden, Gundo replacement,
RW: Mahrez, Sterling,
ST: Haaland, Alvarez,
LW: Grealish, Felix

don’t know why but that feels incredibly unbalanced in midfield and very top heavy.

also requires 4 signings + Haaland - just not a City, in recent times, thing to do.
Imagine if secretly the spots in bold are meant to be Egan, Lavia, McAtee, and Palmer

After all pep’s been speaking about 5-6 promising players from the academy past season or so + his thing about not having very many seniors beyond 16-17 players..
 
wonder what happens with gabby if arsenal don't make top 4, go overseas maybe? i'd prefer that to a team in the same league
 
No chance on Bellingham being sold this season.

Dortmund have a great way of working for them.

They acknowledge they are a selling club, but they do control the when.

United mess about on Sancho, they delayed them for a year.

Probably always knew Haaland was gone this year.

Bellingham will be next, then no doubt some other gem they sign.

Have any of those sales been success stories for them?
 
Gundo has a year left and was told no renewal was forthcoming.

If things are as they are being reported and Gundo is in Madrid, then it might make sense for a player Mendes has offered to us and to replace Sterling and Jesus.

The Internet killers.

I'd be gutted when Gundo leaves. A top player and a top man.
