  1. Surely we have to be the only one in the mix? Spanish clubs broke. Bayern ruled out. Liverpool can't afford him. United only have eyes on Sancho. City and Pep allegedly only want Kane.
  2. Please elaborate. Again, without sounding ignorant, I asked for the true message of BLM. Both yourself and Broadway provided me resources that implied this has been rooted by the belief black Americans where the only ones in peril. There is a massive distinction between left and right when you compare it to the States and in the UK. One of the many systemically racist implementations of America.
  3. You can thank left wing media for making it appear as if Blacks are the only ones suffering from police brutality. Thus creating the narrative it is a race issue. Add the fact Hollywood is primarily left wing so celebrities will also push that narrative. This does nothing but instill fear in every young black person, when the data shows it isn't true. American's upbringing in the 1900s was systemically racist. Jim Crow, Red Lining, and that Crack/Cocaine epidemic has created hundreds of black cities and counties in the United States still suffering to this day. Again, this has shrunk the window of opportunity and increased the window of crime for these black Americans. Thus being products of their own environment. THIS for me is the true issue.
  4. I'm not denying there are racist cops, my argument was that pushing the narrative blacks are the only ones targeted because police are inherently racist is not only incorrect, but does nothing to end racial disparity. This is why many are against BLM and retaliate with All Lives Matter. Or they are just simply racist. Police Reform has been an issue since the 50s, which has attributed to so many wrongful deaths.
  5. But that in itself is fallacious according to statistics, which is why many are opposed to BLM and particularly this message. The narrative that all police are inherently racist and target blacks specifically because of their race. Last I checked, FBI statistics (United States) show police shootings towards whites are significantly higher more than blacks. We narrow it down to per capita, blacks are higher nearly 2x. Now many tend to leave the argument there to support the BLM agenda, but this in itself is a cherry picking fallacy. You look at the crime rate per capita, blacks are higher nearly 2x. Now when looking at the data, a proper analysis would suggest that this doesn't have to do with racist police, it has more to do with blacks being victims of their own environment. This is the argument BLM should be pushing for in my opinion. Being victims of systemically racist upbringings such as Jim Crow, Red lining, and the crack/cocaine epidemic. This has attributed to a greater window of crime for blacks and a smaller window for success. Ice Cube in particular is doing what needs to be done. Pushing for bills that brings more money into these black cities and counties, particularly those that have been affected by the three I mentioned. This will help end racial disparity vs claiming all cops are inherently racist.
  6. Don't think the club nor Haaland would like the loan deal. Too much risk. We could fall out on a CL place or Haaland could tear his ACL.
  7. Not to sound ignorant, what is the message?
  8. I think the Bundesliga is a difficult league to judge players on. Even Batshuayi managed to look quality. Far as I'm concerned, most Bundesliga fans don't rate Andre Silva. (penalty merchant as well) Tammy has proven himself in arguably the most difficult league in the world. People tend to criticise his overall game, but at Dortmund he would be at the focal point of so many creative outlets. You just have to look at Haaland's metrics and see how little involved he needs to be in the build up. I've always been adamant that when you have Tammy in front of goal, he will likely find the ball in the back of the net. He can only get better and on a team like Dortmund, in a league that provides so much space for attackers, I think he would absolutely flourish. Far more than Silva. Personal opinion obviously.
  9. 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.
  10. Bid 100 million + Tammy and see what they say
  11. I would still loan him out until he's ready to replace Jorginho. Bring in Tchouameni this summer.
  12. 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.
  13. What progress? Finishing 2nd amid a pandemic and congested season? He's still tactically inept in Europe and bottles virtually every cup he's in.
  14. Don't think we should be fearing United until they shape up and get rid of Ole.
  15. https://www.eurosport.com/football/africa-cup-of-nations/2019/football-african-football-s-governing-body-caf-has-announced-the-postponment-of-the-draw-for-the-afr_sto8359963/story.shtml Basically detailing the ongoing civil war in Cameroon (hosts) and the COVID pandemic is most African countries.
  16. Reports AFCON may get cancelled next year so we may be able to stick with Kepa another season.
  17. He'd definitely be a player worth keeping. Just not as a starter.
  18. I thought Mount signed a contract that had him over 100K?
  19. 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.
  20. How's a Madrid based paper breaking the story?
  21. 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.
  22. Also helped having Aguero banging in 33 goals...
  23. 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.
