Football Transfers Thread

It is, but I'm hoping Dortmund see off all these attacks from Bayern and get somewhere(in terms of profit and revenue), they've got a great coach in Klopp who almost doesn't seem to mind rebuilding year after year, so as long as he's there, Bayern can go do one.

----------

How amazing would it be if they got one over on Bayern in the grandest final of all? Oh man, just the thought of it all gives me the chills. :D
 
Gotze and Lewandowski will have vicious Dortmund eyes on them if they reach the finals and face Bayern, for the obvious reasons. 2nd legs haven't started
yet and you can suspect if they will stay loyal to Dortmund.

Should they be impartial and do it for BvB and open a can of worms of hate from their future club. Even worse if they underperform with the psychological barrier and let down BvB which spurs even more controversy of their loyalty..

Either way the timing of their transfers is odd, indeed. Even if they don't want to, they're turning their back against Dortmund and possibly backfiring themselves in the process.


Thing about Dortmund being a business is right to some extent. They will always have ardent fans despite losing their star players or not. In a way Dortmund have been helpless in the recent transfers. There was nothing they could do when cash rich clubs meet their players' release clauses. So winning CL is a must for them to protect the players' long term contracts and give them the much needed financial boost to get better next season.

Henrique, Keirrision, Chygrynskiy, Hleb, Affelay, Cacares. Transfers during the time when things worked. :p


Added to that, they overpaid for Alves, Zlatan, Villa and Sanchez. Not great history over there, although Abidal, Mascherano, Pique and Alba were good/decent signings.

Lewandowski did declare that he was not going to sign a contract weeks before Dortmund came to the semis.

Anyone else notice this strategy followed by Bayern - leeched Ballack, Ze Roberto and Lucio when Leverkusen were their arch rivals; Frings, Klose and Borowski when Bremen were; Mario Gomez when Stuttgart won the BuLi; and Gotze and probably Lewandowski now that Dortmund are their arch rivals.

Oh and they also leeched Dortmund's manager, Ottomar Hitzfeld, back in 97, when BVB won the Champions League.

Vile, despicable club. :rolleyes

They've been doing this for ages in reality. They stole Kahn from Karlsruher, Effenberg from Gladbach and a countless more, so this is a traditional thing in reality.:p


Part of it has been the mentality of youngsters in Germany to move to Bayern.

He had a goal drought. All the best strikers have them - I remember Shearer didn't score for two years or something like that for England, before tearing Euro 96 apart.

RvP has scored 20+ goals this season. He has got plenty left in him. If anyone's 'mad bro', it's you. And I'd see to that cough if I was you...

As for the offside goals, I don't recall any Villa players making a big thing of it, so it's not as if they were blatant. A foot was offside maybe - those decisions can go either way; just happened this time they went RvP's way.
 
Come on, he's just a poor Arsenal fan, you got to be sympathetic with him.
 
Why on earth would Barca go for Kompany? He's an excellent penalty box defender but is a liability when he's caught high up the pitch, which is exactly what they don't need.

When I said "it worked for 4 years", I was referring to your comment on Barca's tactic of putting together a back four of two slow center-backs and two attacking wing-backs.

I get that, but this is Gotze ffs, guy's been at Dortmund since the age of 8, and he wants to move to their biggest rivals? Especially now too, with the Zorc/Klopp project going places... :facepalm

They mostly played with Abidal, who's nothing close to an attacking wing-back.

Apparently he used to sleep on Bayern bedsheets lol..

Anyway things not looking good for him ATM - his brother got sent home from school after getting bullied, and his house has also been painted in Dortmund colors by some of their fans now.

Klopp's reaction to the transfer kind of put it into perspective when he basically said Gotze's gone for the manager and not the club, but still, he should've just waited it out imo... Pep's not going to be at Bayern forever, and neither will Gotze probably, but Gotze's going to have to live with this for the rest of his life.
