I don't think that was the case with Havertz and Chilwell, for example, last year.

Think going back to a back 4 permanently is gonna cause a lot more tactical issues.

No more away goals rule in UCL, UEL etc. Starting from 2021/22...

1. Are we supposed to believe a random Turkish(?) journalist will have inside info on our transfer dealings or Haaland? You would think that if anyone was gonna have inside info regarding Haaland, it would be someone like Fjortoft. 2. Who the heck even offers a 4+1 years contract to a young player like Haaland? 🤨 3. €85 million for Haaland? LOL

Didn't they already get that money and use it to cover for what happened with Suning months ago?

Yeah but where would they get the money from to spend then?

I am aware of that but wouldn't Inter then still need to spend their own money to buy a replacement?

This is stupid. Inter didn't want to accept our money + player offer for Hakimi but they're now having to go out and spend god knows how much for a replacement. 🤦‍♂️

The Delta variant.

No clue. Am guessing that week of July 5, assuming there are gonna be additional friendlies added to pre-season.

Given almost the entire first team squad is gonna be away when pre-season starts, hardly a surprise if Tuchel needs the numbers to fill up the spaces and use that to maybe assess 2-3 players. May or may not come to anything in the end.

No one said they aren't but Dortmund always do it their way and sell players when they want to.

I don't think our chances of signing Haaland is dependent on whether they sell Sancho or not at all. Plus, given Dortmund's stance on both players, it doesn't seem like they are in desperate need for money as well.

One could argue that at least we have a better squad now than back then to cope with having a silly transfer window of purchases.

But didn't we start negotiations early on and then it just went quiet for however long it was? There was also the Europa League for Leverkusen last summer as a reason for the delay. All we've heard regarding Haaland is that we're exploring the options to sign him and Dortmund's stance is pretty clear. So unless we're planning to break the bank here, would like to think we've started to look elsewhere? Or is everyone on holiday and no one is working? 🤣 Saw London Evening Standard mention that the club are unwilling to the meet the demands that it would take for Dortmund to sell Haaland this summer. Although, I suppose the "fun" will begin next week when pre-season begins...

Didn't know the club post weekly updates on transfers...
