@moreinjuredthanowen not sure why Bayern is necessarily higher than us. He hasn't said any sort of thing has he?
The answer there is simple. Ample funding and zero competition long term. 3 years at real 3 at bayern Legacy cemented ala pep or whoever. Already has German cup and league unexpectedly therefore career is accelerating but wasn't willing to risk it with us. Is now jumping ship as its inevitably gone tit's up at leverkusen. Anchelotti being unable to accommodate vini and mbappe and poor starting form means the old guy is now under real pressure at real. Perfect time to jump
So Alonso taking Leverkusen to an undefeated league and cup double in a team expected to be mid table and being loyal and sticking with them before maybe moving to a much larger club is jumping ship? But Slot leaving to take over lfc is progressing his career? What is Alonso meant to do. Just never leave?
Some bits from the BBC report on Doak...........'electrifying,a whirling dervish,a human blur taking the fight to Croatia'...... Sounds like he gave Gvardiol a night he will want to forget,Gvardiol ending up having 'the steadiness of a blancmange'
I think the fact he is a regular starter for Boro makes all the difference which is obviously why he went on loan.
He stayed when 3 clubs were after him? And where does it say anywhere he’s leaving at end of this season?

Exaggerated probably. Look he's played 10, scored 1 and assisted 3 at boro. That alright isn't it? 4 yellow cards though which is piss poor for a rw. They are not really competitive so far so I'm hoping his recent form for them signals a player gaining match fitness and he will have a big second half to the season
Watch the highlights,Doak goes past Gvardiol on numerous occasions like the Croat is the 19 year old and Doak is the £77m player.
On the train into Liverpool, just gone past Everton’s new stadium. Why does it look like a third world airport terminal?
Cos it's a tesco wannabe. It's fine but they are that cheap they wouldn't put turf in they sowed the pitch
This is no reflection on Doak, who seemed to have a good game - but that article is one of the most over-the-top bits of sports journalism I've seen in a long time. I don't know what it is with sports hacks - they're either borderline illiterate, or like this guy, think they're bloody Jane Austen.
