Gutted. Can we hire Dortmund’s scouting team please.
The Lewis Holtby Effect.Ridiculously good signing on paper for Dortmund but does anyone else get the slight feeling that some Bundesliga players might be a bit hesitant to come to the Prem bc of the high standard?

Or like Son, Sane or De BruyneYes, young players like Andre Schurrle, Lewis Holtby and Max Meyer haven’t been hugely successful in the Premier League.

Lots of German players are similar to English ones and prefer to play in Germany rather than go abroad
Just like 90% of ours stay here.
Bummer, but no surprise. Great signing for Dortmund. May be the best value available on the market this whole window across Europe. Don’t know that their “scouts” really deserve the credit - he’s a known quantity and one of the best players in the league with a silly low release clause.
Can anybody confirm that we were actually in for him but he just wanted to stay in Germany? I hope that is what happened because we should have had full court press on him. Hope we didn’t miss out by waiting.

Yup, Hazard is official now.Both him and Hazard were always set on Dortmund it seems.
Both! Maybe Jadon Sancho is on the move then? Still gutted that we missed out on him...
Spot on. Was going to say the same. German players are quite homely, generally like to stay in their own country.
The Pulisic fee probably covers both Brandt and Hazard.
Surely everyone knew that from the start? Poch is just smart with his words, thereby allowing interpretation in different ways. Of course Poch wants to spend without it being dependent on outgoings.I do wonder if part of what Poch meant about change is ditching the sell to buy mentality. Lot more noise this year although I guess the World Cup got in the way last year.
I suppose if Vorm and Llorente are leaving at the end of their deals then that's 2 non-HG places already to play with.
For someone like Brandt you'd surely have to act quickly and decisively.
I wonder why, I feel like the English players just can't be bothered to learn a different language or be outside of their comfort zonesLots of German players are similar to English ones and prefer to play in Germany rather than go abroad
