It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[chesterbells]

Out of Kane, Haaland and Mbappe, who has looked the most dangerous when playing against us this last season?

I know it could be argued it doesnt matter as aren’t typical opponents a player would face across a season, but my feeling is that Kane is a flat track bully but doesn’t do it against the best teams, so just wondered what everyone thought, based on us playing all 3 of them this season …

Chelsea will easily make the money for Haaland transfer just by selling players at high fees they do not even need. They have a huge loan army they do not need and can rake in great fees for them.

I am 100% sure they could get more for Tammy Abraham than Txiki for Jesus in transfer fee.

mbappe and haaland both looked average in the 2 legs against us.
Mbappe is massivly overrated for me, wouldn’t work for us with teams playing a low block , he would be running into blind alleys like Sterling does.

A move to Chelsea would be a great move for him and a big upgrade on Dortmund.

It would, but next summer you can add a wider number of English clubs; PSG, possibly Juve, probably Barca and Real and Chelsea would still be available, unless they went for Lukaku. Footballing wise, it makes little difference, but the saving the buying club makes on the fee becomes part of the signing on/salary negotiation.

Considering he's not been at Dortmund long, has a long career ahead of him and will be in the CL next season, I don't see why he'd want to move this summer. Makes much more sense for him to wait until next year with a choice of clubs and more money.

Danny Ings it is then, get in :-)

Yangel Herrera fractured his tibia playing for Venezuela. Doesn't look like we'll be selling him this summer then. Hopefully it's not as serious as it sounds.

Mbappe was anonymous at our place. ;-)

I'm telling you now, Roman throws in a sweetener to the buying club.
That's the only way they can get as much for some of their cast offs as they do.

Definitely something dodgy

He didn’t do too badly skinning 2 inside the box for assist yesterday.

Daft stuff like that is no different to the oil money and backhander jibes that we get.

The difference with Chelsea is that they don't really give a fuck about what people think. They are here to win trophies.

Our owners are different. They want trophies but with it, they want this image that we are the good guys and that's why we've yet to go over a certain fee for players and won't pay stupid wages. Perception.
