In a couple he looked good, but at times not doing much to position himself to be a part of the build up. The other games it was not easy to find him on the field. Just jogging around out there. I think his lack of quickness in pressing will hurt him with Tuchel. Not speed, but he doesn't seem to be quick on his toes in making challenges, just token pressure like Pulisic does most of the time. Pulisic seems to be improving in that area. CG needs to step that up to impress Tuchel. First thing I noticed when watching his highlights from this past season. He looks kind of slow.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 No fucking about here, Roman is smelling blood, we are going to get Haaland....the pressure of the big bid will cripple Dortmund and Raiola will get his man the gig, watch this space. Not a fucking chance BVB turned down nigh on double what they could get next year, no fucking chance. Clockwork 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,941 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 See all this talk about us wanting a CB, why aren’t we throwing our name in for Varane and letting United a free run at him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashishi 148 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If we get Haaland and he clicks with Havertz we could win back to back CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,941 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 We certainly don’t need a CB now, that’s true. But we keep hearing about Zouma going and both Silva and Azpi are old. We’ll probably need to replace both next summer anyways and we’ll be fully past COVID and clubs’ finances being in the gutter then. May as well get a young, long term CB this summer if an opportunity presents itself and prices are still relatively reasonable. Someone like Varane for the rumored 45-50m is a great deal. He’d cost nearly twice that in a normal summer and if he had a couple more years on his contract. I really rate Süle as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva’s game time also probably needs to be managed given his age, Silva and Christensen also had some injuries last season and let’s not forget that Christensen’s and Rudiger’s contracts are yet to be sorted out.

Yep. Weird how the AC and Rüdi situations aren’t officially sorted yet. I’m sure both will get done (and could very well be already) but it’s strange how we let their contracts run down when we’re usually good at avoiding these situations.

It hasn't helped that neither has been first choice under Lampard. Rudiger nearly moved on last summer and was linked again moving in January and Christensen had a couple of runs but ultimately wasn't first choice under Lampard, so I could see the reasons why this time last year both may not have been prepared to commit, and similarly the club may have been anticipating to move them on ourselves. I'm pretty sure both will end up signing new contracts shortly, along with Azpi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us maybe doing that (isn't it £150m?) As I think we may go for just Håland then fill the gaps with loan/youth players. Additionally, if there are some players Dortmund are interested of ours we could maybe get some sort of swap in. Anyway, with just Håland we could do: RWB: Liva/Zappa CM: Baka/Gallagher CB: Sarr/Ampadu/Guehi Only issue after that is GK2 but there is typically someone knocking about who you can get for cheap/on a free for a year or two. Berger is decent source although not the most reliable for Dortmund like Funke Sport, Kicker, or Ruhr Nachrichten.
