One slight addition; Watzke left the door unlocked by saying BVB might sell (after the internal transfer window) if the transfer fee were in the neighborhood of €100m.

They were inspired by Bob Cobb.

Reminiscent of his recent goal against BVB

Well, the influence has to travel. It’s not instantaneous. The master did stick the Bartra doll. He just did it a month late. And he got Bartra’s arm.

Great. Now the Cavs will be all in for OKC’s folding chair in the offseason.

So good.

Add a fourth and you get a swastika!

It seems you may be conflating some of the principles of gambling and insurance. While both involve risk and (typically) money, the approach and use of each is very different.

Nice to see Bender back.

Club hierarchy? It would help if you read the article.

Just a typo. Intended to write “watchtop”.

If you do it before the rooster crows, just don’t whistle while you pick.

Good point. The same thing happens with players.

I think the Götze signing was good. He is extremely talented and is still trying to repair his confidence. Bartra is a tricky one. He suffers from a big mental lapses, but really helps in starting attacks. So far he’s inconsistent, but could turn out to be fine. Rode was a mistake and is a disaster.

My local Fox affiliate did the same thing. So stupid.

EDIT: As I kept reading your other comments, I see you already know all of this.

Genau.

Very true. Tuchel does like to rotate players. And, even though Mor and Dembele are exciting prospects, they are unknowns. More importantly (and sadly), Reus is often injured.
