Of course. Which is why it's probably smart of Dortmund not to sell him this summer.

 

I was reading 80 million. Still it all depends if we get Champions League

 

The same reasons Maguire isn’t worth $80m. Yeah they’re both good players but those are crazy prices. And then the valuation for other players gets whacky and the window becomes a mess.

 

Yeah I know it can get messy but to sell Sancho for less than Dembele and/around the price of Pulisic (or Werner for that matter) would also be whacky.

 

Sancho should stay at Dortmund imo.

 

How much was Pulisic?

 

57m pounds I think

 

Around £58 million. Werner was around £55 million I believe. Dembele around £95 mil.

 

Dembele was a horrific purchase.

 

It'll be more than Pulisic and Werner. Probably up at Dembele levels with add ons, but I don't really know. That 50m story from today seemed just like posturing.

I STILL don't get that. He turned down Barca to go to Dortmund and then after a year was going on strike to go to Barca.

 

This whole Ndombele saga is such a bummer and it’ll be a shame if he’s gone after one weird season.

 

Some journo asked Ancelloti about Luke Garbutt today and he didn't know who he was lol. There's a clip of it doing the round that's well worth seeing.

 

Anyone listen to Ringer FC? Since they gobbled up Stadio there's been a lot more episodes. On Yesterdays episode one of the hosts said the Pulisic should have gone to Barca.

 

The whole thing seems to be blown out of proportion. We get contradicting reports everyday which tells me no one really knows anything. And when they asked Jose about it after the last game he looked surprised at the question regarding him and Ndombele getting in an argument. So who knows.

Alasidar Gold said he gets the impression the ideal scenario is for him and Lo Celso to both start once we have a 6 behind them.

 

Same front 6 as against Sheffield United and no Mooy/Maupay for Brighton. I’m optimistic

 

Ehhhhh, he more so said that had Barcelona been patient with their director of football that a player like Pulisic could have arrived post-Neymar that would have alleviated a bit of their current "struggles" offensively. But it was still worth a head-scratch because it does imply that either Pulisic or someone in that lane of quality and skill could be a fit for Barca's attacking prowess and would have been enough to help Barca currently... which, perhaps? But people can't keep blaming Barca's situation on the fact that Dembele did not turn out like he should have. Some of these things are too unpredictable and had Dembele "delivered" at Barca Pulisic's name would have never come to that guy's mind.

Edit: And he also said that he doesn't know how their board keeps passing on talent like Pulisic... like, bro, really? Plenty of people doubted the possibility of Pulisic's success at Chelsea as recently as December (when Chelsea saw those run of defeats) and wondered if he should have gone to a different club lol

 

Alexis Mac Allister is a hilarious name tbh

 

His brothers name is Kevin!!

 

Thats not good.


I thought for sure Bruno would get a rest today.

 

Yeah same, I hope we don't run him into the ground like we did with Rashford.

He's so clearly a class above though. Love watching him play.

 

He's Argentinian apparently?! They just said on commentary.

 

Another assist for Wan-Bissaka.

 

Greenwood fucking loves scoring that exact same goal.

 

Like Robben. You know exactly what he's going to do, but it's still impossible to stop. He's so good for his age.

 

Scottish descent.

it’s gas looking at the Brighton front two, an Argentinian and an Irish lad and they look the exact same
