Dortmund did say he was a dickhead prone to immature tantrums.

Like I said I just find their extensive use of the loan system a bit irritating.

It's a bit like someone instead of buying a car just going round different dealerships every couple of days and having 48 hour test drives on the latest model.

For me loans between top level clubs shouldnt be allowed, it just encourages clubs not to be run properly

Was the chase for Sancho longer than his time at the club?

Wouldn't surprise me to see them finish 9th or 10th. They're already 8th. Although I'd imagine they'll get helped out enough to not finish so low.

I think the current top 5 will basically stay the top 5, they look pretty much a cut above the rest.

Newcastle are two points behind the rags with half their side injured. Get some players back and they're a better side, they'll start to pick up some points again and overtake the rags

Chelsea only 3 points behind and starting to pick up some points a bit more consistently now, I reckon they could overtake them.

Brighton have just gone above them and are good enough to end up above them.

West Ham going well but hard to tell with them.

I reckon the rags finish no higher than 8th.

I agree, lmited use of loans in or out of a club is OK but the rags just seem to be taking the piss

Getting so many players in, effectively on a 'try before you buy' basis, and instead of just selling off their flops they loan them out in the hopes they'll rediscover their form elsewhere and increase their value.

bayern and barca also piss me off for this, just because they cant run their clubs properly they shouldnt be allowed to take advantage of those that do

I seem to remember them all wanking themselves into a stupor over that Axel Tuanzebe a couple of seasons back as their latest youth player all set to be the next *insert legendary player name here* and was the youngest player to captain united.

Just had to look up how things are for going for him, after numerous unsuccessful loan spells at various clubs including Stoke, united released him at the end of last season and he now plays for Ipswich.

Nice to see he's improved.

Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron?
