You want more info, sell us Alaba or no deal.

Good one. Still you can't deny me my point here. What Bayern did to BVB has been done by just about anyone. Still waiting for a nomination for some club that has not consistently bought players from within its own league. Now you are moving the goalposts. It is not just buying players within your own league! It's systemically buy-killing off your most likely competition. Huge difference. It would be like us baiting Kane to leave spuds on a free. Or De Bruyne (dont forget fact we stupidly fucked ourselves on the best AMF in world BY SELLING HIM CUT-RATE TO A GERMAN club) to leave Shitty. Or Alexander-Arnold. Or Pogba. I wish we could, but we DONT. Ffs WE sold Matic to Manure and fucked up our balance. Salah ended up at bloody Victimpool. Real raped us on Big Nose (price wise, they get now what they deserve from that cunt). What rival team have we fucked over by buying a key player and had it actually remotely work like you lot do in Germany? Kante WAS GONE, if not us, another, and zero chance anyway Leicester was ever going to be a perennial title threat.

Let's get this DONE

I will carry Donkeywater on my back to Leicester for that swap, even if it takes me 6 months to get there.

Up and coming? They were the ultimate one year wonder. If not us, another top 10 team wpukd have taken Kante. Many non EPL teams. Bayern maybe? Lolol Jelly. As for Drinkwater, we gave them a £35m dollar gift. He is huge blow to our club. £70m (with wages) down the shitter. We are hardly the dominant transfer bullies of the league or of Europe. We usually FAIL disastrously trying to buy Serie A players. We just paid £72m for a GK who 2 years ago probably was worth £20m. That 80 million euros is gold dust for Athletic Bilbao. We are hardly kill-buying rivals like you lot do. I know you will fuck Leipzig up bad with Werner. Probably get him on a free. It's the Bayern way.

If you have to rely on Robert Green and Willie Caballero as evidence of us running roughshod over the EPL, you have a priori lost the debate. Those are truly ludicrous examples.

I was never one who said they tapped him up. I said it was totally legal as its open window. I do have to laugh at your positing that Bayern don't bully the rest of the Bundesliga. Your roster has been littered over the decades with players BM has pulled off dodgy frees (perfect example is Goretzka) and other cut rate cut throat deals from the rest of the Bundesliga. Your have systemically tore into Dortmund on multiple occasions. There is no English club that has come close to stripping off down its main contenders. I have said Bayern is overall best run club in world football, but let's not kid ourselves about the fact they are the 800 pound gorilla bully boys in Germany when it comes to intra-league transfers. You want to see why CHO is a steal at £40m? Go watch his pre-season, when he was getting regular starts and significant pitch time. He DESTROYED Bellerin. That is a good game to start with. Then realise he is only 18. Finally, it is ludicrous to toss out Robert Green, Danny Drinkwater, Olivier Giroud, and Willy Caballero as examples of us pulling Bayern style bully tactics! They are all SHIT players who hardly took strong-arming. Especially at the insane price we paid for Donkeywater.

There were far too sources for it to be a complete smokescreen, especial when the exact time of the offers was given, especially the last one. In the last 2 years or so I have never seen Law push a complete bullshit story. If you look at Barca's situation and Willian's standing, it makes a lot of sense. Dembele was really coming off a pretty poor year BUT he was not foing to be sold. He is a legit long term project they dropped (with add-ons) £135m on. That is more than double Willian's final offer. Willian was coming off a pretty solid 4 year run, and was at an age where they could get 3 or 4 years of solid play out of. He can play either wing, and is really good at tracking back (his main reason he plays). He also was the darkhorse key player for the Brasilian national WC team and was one of the few who performed at least somewhat decently. He would have given time to fully raise up Dembele to complete integration level. His play for years (before this one) fits the Barca style fairly well. Also, as I was a big fan (still am) of Malcom, I followed what was going on with him as well, eapecially feom primary sources in Bordeaux and at French national level. Their narratives (that Malcom was Barca's fall-back option if Willian deal fell through) all proved to be born out by actual events. The Willian to Barca saga went on far far too long and was too documented by legit sources to be a fake, IMHO. At some point stories are too big and long lasting and backed up to ignore and call bullshit on. Pulisic is a perfect example, and was pushed by many of the same vectors and personalities that drove the Willian narrative. Morata was another good example. The player himself said it was real.

Bayern Munich Fail With Fourth Bid For Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chelsea Want To Hold On Until Summer http://www.insidefutbol.com/2019/01/08/bayern-munich-fail-with-fourth-bid-for-callum-hudson-odoi-chelsea-want-to-hold-on-until-summer/404935/

Lol, not a chance. Zero. For sure this summer window (6 months ago like you said) Dybala, Icardi, SMS, Insigne, Koulibaly, and arguably Immobile, Pjanic and Skriniar were clearly seen as better players. Higuain was already well into a very real decline, his league goals the last 3 and a half years 36 24 16 6 (and only one since October) I hope he comes good, but the crashout warning signs are flashing red. If it is more than a 6 to 18 month loan with NO obligation to buy, we are mad as ass.

Loan Army make much ₽

Exhibit A Real Madrid confirm the signing of Man City star Brahim Diaz on six-year deal Move was expected to be announced imminently with City insisting on a 40 per cent sell-on fee if he later joins Man Utd https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8133640/real-madrid-confirm-brahim-diaz-man-city/

They are trying to gaslight a clear error. The linesman flag fucked up all that happened after, plus they used a wrong angled shot. It was NOT his feet, it was his shoulder and torso, which IS what the rule includes.

Not that analysis, the telly showed (not even the one Sarri had) a multiple verticle line shot that showed his shoulder and torso clearly offside of the verticle plane.

Complete rot mate. They showed the multi-line analysis that clearly showed his upper torso offsides. You must not know the basics of the offsides rule. You will not be able to gaslight this board.

Gonzalo Higuain transfer: Row at Chelsea threatens deal The Argentinean forward has been strongly linked with the Blues, with Maurizio Sarri desperate to team up with him again https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/gonzalo-higuain-transfer-row-chelsea-13832713 A row between Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri and Director Marina Granovskaia is putting the Blues' deal for Gonzalo Higuain under threat. That's according to a report from Fabrizio Romano of calciomercato.com , who claims that Blues transfer 'Iron Lady' Granovskaia has reservations over paying up to £45m for a 31-year-old. Higuain - who has only scored one goal in his last 10 appearances for AC Milan - is seen as a top target for Sarri as he looks to add the forward that Chelsea have been sorely missing this season. Snip

He has one goal in Milan's last 15 games, all comps.

Higuain has ONE in Milan's last 15 so a perfect match.

Yes it is. Sancho would cost at least £80m (Dembele was £135m), Lille want £72 for Nicolas Pepe, Pulisic was almost £60, etc etc. Quality wingers are crazy high. CHO is as close to a lock as you are going to get at 18, he is HG, AND HE IS our bloody academy product. This one is going to sting!

They have a culture of greatness for around 7 decades in a row.

During open windows, yes.

One might say the fix was in? I am just boiling mad since last night. Especially as it is those fucking yid cunts. I hate that team and their shit fans with a passion. Three loses in a row to those NoLo twats. 2002-2008 one loss total, including 4 years in row no loss 2010 to 2017 one loss total with a 5 year span with no losses Grrrrrrrr Thats 13 years ( basically half my life) total with but 2 losses and also a total of around 9 of those years with zero And the big one 1990 (before I was born) to 2002. Zero losses! Most of my entire life we almost never lost to them, with a few exceptions. Now they are reversing this.

I know! There are (as I always say) the best run club in the world. Grrrr. I cannot see them failing to prise away CHO. They are relentless in chasing their targets.

All our lives we deal with straight human error, it is part of the game. BUT, in this case the technology actually was misused and not only didn't correct a human error (as there was none) BUT itself MADE an error that literally may end up knocking us out of a cup and cost a chance for Sarri to win his first ever trophy.

Bayern recruitment drive starts with World Cup winner Benjamin Pavard and they are still chasing Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/bayern-recruitment-drive-starts-with-world-cup-winner-benjamin-pavard-and-they-are-still-chasing-chelseas-callum-hudsonodoi-37695259.html Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to sign French defender Benjamin Pavard, who will join the German champions on a five-year deal from next season, the Bavarian club's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said on Wednesday. The 22-year-old currently plays for Bundesliga rivals VfB Stuttgart and was involved in France's 2018 World Cup final victory over Croatia in Russia, a tournament where he also scored a stunning goal in the Round of 16 win over Argentina. "I can announce that we managed to get the services of Benjamin Pavard from July 1, 2019," Salihamidzic told reporters during a Bayern training camp in Qatar, without giving any financial details of the transfer. "He signed a five-year contract. "He can be deployed in various positions. He can play on the right. He is a young player, a world champions and we are happy to have signed him." Snip Grrrrrrrr Another great option off the table.
