If FSG are prepared to spend on our two recent strikers, I canāt think why they wouldnāt fund midfield players.
Perhaps Bellingham is the main target, but he wonāt be released until summer. This might also be the case with any other targets. We are clearly not privy to any approaches for players that may have been made.
Some players may prefer to go to other clubs as well.
Iām sure FSG realise that any funds spent will be returned from players we sell and of course shirt and merchandise sales.
Not defending them, but weāre all so critical of them, when we donāt know sh*t about what goes on behind closed doors.
Itās evident from yesterday that we need a reboot, so why would they let us go into decline and see their asset devalue. Just not good business.
Iām sure something will happen this month to shore up the midfield.
They're not planning on letting their asset devalue. They're trying to bail as quick as they can without putting in a cent and maintain maximum value.
The problem they've got is that no buyer is going to pay what they want/think we're worth because A - the team is in serious decline through lack of investment and B - we won't be a champions league elite club next season. So any buyer will wait and get the best price regardless of whether they will invest in the team or not. Would you overpay for a car that needs a new engine and 4 new tyres or would you drag it out and drive the price down so that the seller in effect pays for the repairs.
As far as Bellingham goes. We need to get in the real world. He may as well stay at dortmund than come here and if he's leaving there's plenty of better options out there where he will be in the CL and winning medals immediately.
We need to come up with a plan ... and find 2 or 3 ... find the next wijnaldums etc for a reasonable fee so we can get our identity back. Easier said than done to find them. And easier said than done to convince them to come to a team with no European football and alot of uncertainty off the field.
The club is in chaos. People behind the scenes want out. JĆ¼rgen is making mistakes but the blame for this mess lies squarely at fsgs door.
My message to those greedy bas*Ards is sell up and f*ck off and do it quickly. They're quids in ... all on the back of klopps work. Don't drag it out ... just go.
