Sounds like he's Dortmund bound from what I've read. He's been to visit them with his family in April, and is a fan of the Bundesliga.
Kirchoff might be one to keep an eye on for Sunderland. Big strong DM, seems to have added real stability there and decent on the ball. Dint think they'd be too keen to sell and prob wouldn't buy him off back of 6 months but another decent year next year and he could be on the move.
He's got 2 games to get a move and the next is against the Champions. We can't compete with that motivation with a final to play in.
We've over relied on pace in the past. Plus it's fleeting, players only have true pace for a couple of years tops and then you have to rebuild when they crock it or slow down.
Few times ive watched him been pants. Can't pass the ball and kept trying to hit it early and losing it.
The Dembele lad.. "If" its between us and Dortmund.. he could wait until next Wednesday.. In that, if we win the UEFA Cup, we get CL, we become more attractive and that pushes the decision in our favour? We lose, he's off to Dortmund because they have CL confirmed for next year.. Personally, think the lad has made up his mind and he's off to Dortmund.
