Well, they have to give an answer if they're being asked about it, no? Today alone, you have the adviser said what he said and then their soon-to-be sporting director emphasized again that he's not for sale. So, go figure...

There is a big difference between spending 70m and 150m-200m (and that's just transfer fee alone).

"Dortmund aren't purely a selling club" 🤦‍♂️

Given he's spent that much and supposedly has his own team now, he should be challenging for the title and winning 1-2 cups at the very least. We've spent less than them during the same period and gotten to more finals and won a major trophy. But can't wait to see the excuses the "pundits" out there will make for Solskjaer next season...

You aren't wrong but we won't know until we see how the contract situations play out first. Silva will likely be gone next year but the other 3 could well stay.

Wait, are people really cursing Dortmund for not wanting/trying not to sell their best player? Dortmund aren't purely a selling club, are they? They still want to be competitive, even if they end up not winning anything most of the time. Plus, it's not like we've not been in a similar/the same position before. We got Hazard to stay for one more season few years ago even though we could have likely gotten more money and if the reports are to be believed, then god knows how many bids we turned down for Willian from Barcelona! Yeah but they also just sold Sancho, meaning they aren't exactly in a desperate situation, financially.

Make up your mind, Dortmund...

So one says Kounde earns twice more while the other says they earn around the same? Which is true? 🤣

BEHOLD!

Tuchel seems to suggest that Broja works better in a front two as opposed to being the lone striker... https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/07/28/tuchel-gives-verdict-on-bournemouth-win-and-prepares-to-make-dec

What's low for us may be high for Sevilla. How much has Kounde been earning there?

Still overkill, unless you're telling me that Tuchel is gonna rotate them endlessly. And Superblue has pointed out the names to fill in at CB. Plus, if we sign Rice, then he's also another option for the CB spot if we're really down on numbers.

Excluding Zouma, having 6 CBs feels rather overkill.

I guess it's close to what you both suggested. @Jype @Superblue_1986

So you're saying that there's a chance we might sign Lewandowski then? 🤪

It could possibly change the situation but we would have to do it quickly (see Jype's post above). Not sure if Raiola would really push for the move at this point. If he had wanted to, he would have done so long ago I'd imagine. And this is Kehl's full quote...

Dynel Simeu sold to Southampton for a reported fee of £1.5 million.

If Kehl had said something vague instead about Haaland's future, you would be jumping for joy, wouldn't you? Obviously, what Kehl said could be true or not, but it's pretty much in line with their stance over Haaland this year.

Kepa laughs at that.
