Dear god please keep it that way

Thought you wanted that Reyna loan somewhere?

Yeah, I keep hearing that too. I’d love it personally, but I’ll believe when it happens.
I just can't see it in January. We can't afford to lose him with both Lavia and Ugochukwo on long term injury, and rumors of Enzo playing with a hernia. But if the rumored ask of 80M is close to being met, I'll fly to London and help him pack myself. Bur I can't see you all spending that, even if he feels like the perfect guy for your style.

Hell no. I want him in Dortmund. I know I always joke and hyperbolize when it comes to players I like, but he’s legitimately great and changes the teams overall play in a significant positive way every time he’s in the game. His greatest strength happens to be the teams biggest weakness, which is why its so frustrating that Terzic isn’t using him more.

If I was unclear before, I was praying for a loan instead of a straight up sale. I didn’t think staying was even an option, so I was hoping for the lesser of the evils.

I know this well before your time but hated rival Schalke might have to start over as an amateur club if they are relegated from the second league.
Yeah, I saw that. :laugh: $165m in debt and getting relegated twice in two years?! That’s nuts.

Dortmund tied them 2-2 last March, by the way…

Gives a summation about what has gone wrong. They let a bunch of very talented players go for free over the past decade.

That kid Bradley had a hell of a match for Liverpool today. The competition was subpar but still looks like a player

I dont want to discredit anything he did, because he did have a phenomenal match. It was made easier by going against a CB playing at LB, something he's never done before.

It's almost as if we shouldn't have loaned Ian Maatsen...

They're a shambles. I don't think they will get relegated to third tier, but the fact that's even possible shows the current state of the club.
And still they have a higher attendance rate than most big clubs in Europe. Only a handful of clubs ahead of them.
A club with huge potential but a lot of mismanagement over the years. Hamburg is another example for that.

Thought he looked good defensively also. Don’t remember him getting beat and won a lot of tackles. Seemed to read the play very well.

I'm pretty sure I cpuld defend Raheem Sterling these days. The dude has no decision making skills. Aside from that, it was Mudryk, who....did Mudryk things.

Ha fair enough

He played well, though in all honesty. The tactical game plan made it very easy for him. Badiashile wasn't pressing forward for obvious reasons, so in the second half he basically had free reign on that flank.

Just a game where the tactics were ALL wrong. We tried to out-Liverpool Liverpool with pressing and failed miserably because we don't have the technical ability to do so.
