We also just need a player who is hungry.

Because that's the way a player in that position can be effective in the modern game, otherwise you play with two hard-running B2B players with a DM behind them, or 3 CBs.

There's no room for a player that doesn't work hard in any top team. It's hilarious how people will lambast and lament lack of workrate for years on end, luxury players, etc. and then when a coach comes in and demands workrate will go on to lambast and lament how he doesn't "know how to use" talent. It's starting to become impossible to read this nonsense anymore.

Then don't buy a number 10 like James to add to the wreckage of Ozil and Mkhi.
Better to play a Ramsey-type player or settle for Zaha, Sarr or Ziyech type player instead.

Gazza M

van de beek or ziyech would be good as a high pressing 10

Claudius

Yeah. That’s what we should be doing. Get rid of these non-defending, non-scoring AMs we currently have. They’re hurting us.

Meatwad

can't defend, can't score, what are you good for.

Chip chop (TM) shots

And looking like a hunger games contestant.

Juve in talks to sign Milinkovic Savic

Brandt to Dortmund for €25m and earning £135k a week. That's exactly the kind of deal we should've tried to make.

Meatwad

except he had no interest in leaving germany yet.

Claudius

Lovely player. Would’ve been great Ozil replacement

Apparently, Real Madrid want £120m for Isco despite benching him. Maybe we can bid for his head

Pulisic sold to a rich English club with more money than sense. Brandt and Hazard in. And a £10m profit.

That's "outsmarting the market." Take note Mr. Sanllehi.

Borussia Dortmund have also signed German international left back Nico Schulz from Hoffenheim.

ohboy

Superb business for Dortmund.

Wheeling and dealing has always been our weakness.

Claudius

Brandt and Hazard in with Pulisic out is just criminal. Shows you that some clubs are awake and others are getting taken for a ride.

I feel like Dortmund are doing those logical things many people on here propose. Sell player X for that, buy those two instead. With Arsenal "it's not that easy in real life", but Dortmund do it time and time again.

Exactly, it really is not that difficult, Arsenal have made it seem impossible.

The key first step is, sell your players at top prices

The first step is shift some of Xhaka, Ozil, Mustafi and Mkhitaryan. And then see the magic happen.

The first step is to identify talented players before it becomes obvious. That's the part Dortmund do so well. Pulisic might be overpriced but he's also a good player, and potentially a very good one.

We don't sell well, by and large, because we're trying to sell players that have proven to be unsuccessful (talent/coaching issue) in the very league where Dortmund take clubs to the cleaners.

Other Premier League clubs would pay big money if we put Bellerin (injury aside) or Guendouzi on the market. Because they are young, hugely talented and have proven they can play at the top level. We wouldn't get bumped in those cases.

You can't sell wastrels, or good prospects you've coached to play like wastrels, for big bucks. Even Premier League clubs aren't that stupid.

ohboy

I see your point, but the fact remains if we had sold properly (Ramsey, Sanchez, Ozil, Oxlade, Walcott, Fabregas, Henry etc) we might have come out ahead.

We have been poor sellers for a long time, although the point about lack of talent is also true.
