Dortmund bought:

➡ Dembélé €15M, sold to Barça for €105M
➡ Aubameyang €13M, sold to Arsenal for €63M
➡ Pulisic €250k, sold to Chelsea for €64M
➡ Sancho €8M, sold to Man Utd for €85M
➡ Haaland €20M, sold to City for €60M

Paid: €56M
Sold: €377M
Profit: €321M

problem is, what have they won?

Brilliant team, develop players well. However Bayern dominate the league so need a special season to topple them and selling your best players every other year doesn’t help.

All the time fans are happy to play second fiddle to Bayern and win the off trophy with decent run in Europe that model will work brilliantly.

Wenger did it for years at arsenal doing similar things in the last 10 years of his reign.

On dortmund.

You could write similar about atletico. However atletico reinvested, improved and won Europe and league titles over time.

Dortmund had actually got worse and while the have a few good young players etc they have some awful ****e and are as soft as **** and cannot defend.

There is literally zero point in being another clubs servant.

Dortmund are regressing imo not improving and need to rethink here. They are after taking haaland but they agreed to bend over backwards for his agent to get him and he has now scanned straight for less than half his value but has been injured a huge amount.

Now hakimi is next and guess who's the agent company?

At some point you need to have a bit of levy in there to secure the player and not just keep seeing them go but you also need a bit of simeone and deliver results.

Bayern are actually regressing as well as they have no competition and are aging as a side.10 titles in row? That's not football. That's a procession


The sad thing is the sheep media and bitter mancs would wish the same to happen here with the oil state club. How many season of utter dominance before they wake up out there?
 
Lewandowski told Bayern won’t extend deal past 2023.

Either sell this summer or leave for free next year.

Except they're not.

Who do we want to wake up?
I think anyone who isn't just happy because it isn't us or Man U winning knows that the current model is wrecking our league. It's what they do about it that counts.
Can anyone do anything to prevent City from just buying the title almost every year?
There are supposed ongoing investigations into their financial practices, but they never seem to get anywhere.
 
Coutinho agrees huge pay cut
Philippe Coutinho has accepted a 70 per cent wage cut to join Aston Villa on a permanent deal, according to The Telegraph.
It's believed the Brazilian's new four-year deal is worth £125,000-a-week.

General fans. General fans stood up when the super league scum (fsg included) tried to steal the money.

How a ahem Southampton fan can protest super league 6 scum ****ing off but not protest oil dopers stealing the league and cups every year?

Not quite sure how that works

We need to set up a go fund me page for the lad, how is he going to cope on only 125k per week!
