It basically seems greenwood was replaced by a similar valued player which is fair enough I guess but Iām still not sold.
Just the two Bundesliga titles pal.

Sure, sure.
And with Liverpool?
Financed through the Ā£142 million sale of Philippe Coutinho which rather amazingly is still a Premier League record sale Iād say, 4 and a half years since itās sanction. Remind me again who did ETH have to part with to fund all these recent splurges? Iād say a few pyjamas was about the height of it.

You said he won on a restrictive budget.
Having Ā£142m to spend is not a restrictive budget.
Iād rather a manager who is prepared to put the pressure on himself by spending money than a lad not spending so much so he gets an easier time of it
Paul Pogba? No, waitā¦

He had to sell his best player to fund those two deals.
Thatās club revenue buddy. Itās his budget.
He spent massively to get them across the line.
Youād wonder if lads on here are a bit bemused when they go to trade in a car and find out they canāt keep both cars

Well when you turn an ā¬8 million player into a ā¬150 million+ asset you kind of become self sufficient. It was absolutely exceptional and astute financial management.
Are ye still at it lads?
Donny Van De Beek got married during the season? Surely he could have foreseen upcoming fixtures and aimed for the close season. He must have been engaged a while, had the hotel booked before he realised the Qatar World Cup was in December not June and couldnāt get a refund on the price.
Ferguson was some genius to win the EPL with his miniscule budget after selling Ronaldo for Ā£95m then. Didnāt even have to break world records to do it.

Rio Ferdinand was the most expensive defender in the world mate.
