Armel Bella-Kotchap please

Linked with BVB and Bayern and seems like Dortmund is favourite at the moment to sign him.

However Pavard is going to Inter Milan so Bayern could move go all in soon.

Ritchie out and Gordon number 11?

I guess it’s Reyna

As a BVB fan I watch almost every match and Reyna is someone I would not sign. Lot of hype because of young age but doesn’t really provide much and hasn’t developed much during last year or so.

He does have potential, but all these injuries and lack of development does not make him highly interesting player at the moment. Because of attitude problems he didn’t play much at World Cup.

Absolutely love this club, this team, these players and the manager.

Tedesco just got sacked at RB Leipzig - could Tuchel end up there?

Marco Rose is (or was) very close to signing with them. Tuchel could change that though. But I have a feeling Tuchel won’t go there straight away.

Chelsea probably dodge the bullet with this as Tuchel is notoriously very hard person to work with.

I was very happy when he was appointed after Klopp at BVB. Definitely the best man for the job at that point and very exciting future ahead with him. However he only did well for one season and the second season was just full of bad decisions, odd tactical decisions and fighting with the board. He did win the German Cup which was obviously great archievement but he still got sacked because he was so difficult person to work with.

He’s excellent cup manager and could do really well at managing national team but in long-term he makes everyone tired around him. I think that is the reason he got sacked (again). He throws everyone around him under the bus as excuse for his behaviour.

6 points after 6 games is less than most of us hoped for, but it's too early to be reflecting upon expectations. I hoped we go all season without dropping into the bottom half, but we have.

But it's early enough that one win puts us back into the 'safety zone'. 

We've had a challenging first 6 games, and we've fought in every one of them, and haven't really seen our best eleven in a run of games.

Think it's a bit early for worrying.

You are probably right. It’s hard to not to worry about relegation after going through all these years. Most of here that slag me off have come around when PIF arrived and don’t really understand what it is to worry all the time for relegation. I had to switch off for years because it just felt there was not any joy with this club.

They're not good enough but what kind of support is constantly going on about it ffs - its bordering on hate with some of yous

Funny thing here. Did I say anything bad about players or Howe?

I was absolutely sure I would get this hostile and angry response, are we really the best fans in the world? I just said I’m worried because one win in 6 games - and this is what I get. I’m not going to write anything here anymore. Don’t like this place so much anymore after I just said I was worried.

I did not write anything bad about Howe or any of the players. Just that I AM BIT worried. I’m sorry for my feelings, didn’t realize that I was getting bullied like back in school.

We have not won in 5 games, I’m getting worried we’re back in relegation fight soon. Just wanted this season to be different.

I’m almost sure we will push for Chelsea’s loan players until the very end.

Chelsea is close to signing Aubameyang which probably makes Broja available on loan (or permanently). Another player possibly available today if we plan to play Isak on the right side.

I don’t know whether we were ever interested on Memphis Depay but he might one of the better players seriously available today.

It would be amazing to go for Gladbach’s Kone today. Gladbach is not a big club and Kone would be available for decent fee (compared to British market).

He doesn’t play for France but regular starter at Gladbach so working permit should be ok.

I think if there's any signings it will be current Prem players or loans, anything else would surely take too long to organise and execute. 

I think so too, should be planes landing right about now if we’ll sign someone abroad.

Properly sick of Edwards now and I’ve been one of his longer term defenders. Yesterday he was banging on about how our business was pretty much done and we’d only be looking at loans now he’s claiming to have info on bids we’ve made to sign players. 
 

His constant negative twist on every possible scenario is really transparent now. 
 

I actually think he’s a decent journalist but he’s too far down the rabbit  hole of being a prick in retaliation to the heat he got over the takeover and Bruce stuff.

Yes, I think you are spot on. And now he is completely out of loop so it makes him even bitter.

What the hell is this? Never expected something like this from Howe. Just lost of words, what the hell is that starting XI?!?

Is there actually link to Barkley or just speculation?

Carrasco hopefully. Probably nothing.

We are hiding our targets pretty well. It seems like now we have launched many bids and go on what we can have (Isak over Pedro).

Hope for CM and RW but probably is going to be just one more.

Dortmund looking to sell Akanji who is in the last year of his contract and has shown no indication of extending with them.

Would add pace to our CB pairing. Think he’d be great alongside Botman. Would really complement him.

Almost certainly going to Inter Milan.

I reckon we'll still go for this lad.

He is not similar player as Isak and probably more planned to replace Almiron and give us options from the bench. Wilson’s injury forced us to look for a player who is more clearly number 9.

Yet another former Borussia Dortmund player. I’m pretty sure Real Sociedad did buy off the Dortmund’s buy-back clause so that should not be problem.

Merino is also former BVB player.
