They talked about this on the Athletic, and they had a quote from an ex ligue un player who said the league is faster and fitter than both the bundesliga and prem - and that's possibly why they do better here.bman2 wrote: ↑2 years agoAfter Kagawa and Mhikitaryan, let’s hope third time is lucky buying this type of player from Dortmund. But it’s not just Dortmund, players often seem to struggle coming from the Bundesliga to the PL. Havertz and Werner at Chelsea for example, though Havertz has been pretty good and seems to be finding his feet.
It’s seen as a weaker league, but I think players coming from Ligue 1 in France often do better. I’ve no idea if the stats actually back this up, it’s just my impression.
Jadon Sancho - Welcome.

Wasn’t Sancho labelled as the missing piece? Chasing the poor lad for 12 months and then when we finally finally sign him, play him out of position and destroy his confidence.
You've got to hand it to Ole's coaching set up. They seem to do it effortlessly toofat maradona wrote: ↑2 years ago Wasn’t Sancho labelled as the missing piece? Chasing the poor lad for 12 months and then when we finally finally sign him, play him out of position and destroy his confidence.

Maybe he's just not very good and we need to stop signing players who look good in a shit German league but nowhere else...?

But I've got some hope with Sancho. He looks like a class player trying to fit in. The others didn't show this quality.
he's come from a team with a defined tactical system and very precise training regime to a team that appears not to actually train or know how to play football properly. No wonder the cunt looks fucking lost. Same with Beek.dozer wrote: ↑2 years agoI got a lot of stick for mentioning this jinx.JoelfuckingGlazer wrote: ↑2 years ago Maybe he's just not very good and we need to stop signing players who look good in a shit German league but nowhere else...?
