TheMelvillan Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 After last night's semi final I want Lange to set his filters to search exclusively for Spanish and Italian players. The technically ability shown in that game was different gravy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Reus, and Formerly sancho now Malen in the 2 behind the striker and they play with a flat midfield Brandt is apparently available for 40 million and he'd be a fantastic signing imo. What do you mean Brandt doesn't play? Of course he does. He played 31 out of 34 league games for them last season. 8 CL games out of a possible 10. He's central to their style and a brilliant player for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran the show that day, it’s hard to believe he’s only 21, it feels like he’s been around for ages Given your reputation regarding young players I'll take that as affirmation that my views are correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played fewer minutes for them in the bundesliga than el ghazi did for us. He barely plays and when he does it's because of an injury concern to Reus. He had 18 total starts last season in what must be over 50 possible games. That is not playing for someone. And he only had that many games because Thorgan Hazard missed half the season through a torn Thigh muscle.

I've heard it all now. You're just talking pure tosh mate. Edited July 7, 2021 by est1874 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just talking pure tosh mate. 27 sub appearances. He had barely any game time. Dortmund fans say he barely plays. 10 minutes at the end of a game isn't really what I would classify as meaningful game time. Which is what he mostly gets.

Yep, loads of time left. It takes time to complete deals, we won’t be able to bring in everyone so soon… it’s always easier said that’s done. Pleasant surprises in store I hope… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you honestly suggesting that playing in 31 out of 34 Bundesliga games is "barely playing" for a team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing about 1913 minutes out of a possible 4500 so near enough 40% of the available time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw appearances mean nothing. Look at starts, look at minutes played. He played in less than half of their available minutes, 21 games worth out of 50. 18 starts in those 50 games.
