Never thought Dortmund would accept it, just something to see where we stand. I'm personally under the assumption/belief Dortmund would want Tammy over Silva.
This.
@Tomo and I mentioned maybe a year or so ago that Liverpool will have a 2-4 year spell then fall back to mediocrity. Their rise was an anomaly given it was heavily funded by Barca for the Coutinho transfer, and with Klopp's record of burning the team out + their ageing stars with ZERO resale value, you can fully expect them to drop out of the top 4 and stay out for the foreseeable future.
Us, City, United, are pretty much set moving forward given the quality and age of our players. 4th spot is up for grabs.

Basically detailing the ongoing civil war in Cameroon (hosts) and the COVID pandemic is most African countries.
He's alright in a back 4. Not elite, but does a job. He's as close as Dani Alves as you could get given his attacking instincts.
Should Tuchel leave he would still be very useful under a progressive manager.
I always thought Haaland would cope well in the premier league given his physicality. To assume at 20, he wouldn't be able to adapt is a bit premature.
Formation hasn't been an issue. We are 1st in chances created since Tuchel has been appointed. Its converting them that's the issue, which is a collective one.
Since Tuchel has been appointed we are 16th.
Again, are you willing to take that risk considering the level of drastic improvement that is needed with the current squad? Add the fact we are losing both Giroud (potentially) and Tammy? 16th in the table is a lot different than 4th. And this isn't even considering the possibility of Kane moving to City.
We are 16th in the league in chances converted.
To assume, or to merely hope we can drastically improve that with who we currently have and not a recognisable ST in the side, is poor planning.
