The only other central forward they have is 18y.o. talent Isak. In short. Dortmund are putting their season in the hands of Michy. But I can see him succeeding there. Dortmund focus on fast transition and commit many bodies forward early other than we do we only attack with a few players at once. This is why we need a striker with good hold up play and michy is not optimal for us. Dortmund however try to break the defensive lines by committing people forward thus causing havoc in the opposition so the striker gets the space to play on the shoulder. This should fit Michy more and that is why they are gambling on him. It is no coincidence that Michys goals have always either come when the opponent's defense was in disarray because we were going all out to score a goal, or a ball over the top or a fast counter attack caught them out. If he succeeds there I do not see him coming back tho. Most of his goals have been tap ins where he has only had to get on the end of the ball (after all the hard work has been done for him by his team mates) from about 5 yards out.... in terms of a modern day striker he is terrible, he doesn't offer anything except being alert in the 6 yard box and even then his movement is pretty sub par for a top level footballer. At least Aubamayang has real pace and stretches teams, can beat players in 1v1s, combine well with attacking midfielders... Michy not so much. Dortmund don't put chances on a plate for him then he will struggle. Big time. No idea why Dortmund haven't looked for someone else in all fairness, a more rounded player, because the likes of Reus, Yarmolenko, Phillipp, Sancho, Pulisic, Kagawa, Gotze, all these guys like to play little 2 or 3 pass combinations as well. particularly Kagawa, Gotze, Reus, wont get much from Michy in that regard. Can't see them building their team around Michy when they have all those sort of players. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It's clear that Conte gave him too many chances. Worthless striker that will be worthless for Dortmund. We always had this right in the past. De Bruyne, Salah and Lukaku are all shit. We know how to cope with young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will loan us a player but we give others what they want. If he performs well at BVB his market value will sky rocket at the very least. Bosnian Blue and 11Drogba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and obviously leaves us for small money, because the board is incompetent to spot a talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They have 14 more games to play in Bundesliga and he will probably score around 8-10 goals with few more in Europa league  But Conte rather played with false 9 just because Michy is not a classic target man who can hold up long balls ... or maybe he is just too young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
