Barbar spoke about Gross in his Talksport interview. It did sound like it was still an ongoing deal.

Certainly the interpretation from German Sky:



“🚨⚫️🟡 According to Sky information, there is a complete verbal agreement between Pascal Groß (33/ 🇩🇪 ) and Borussia Dortmund. The national player only wants to #BVB . Eintracht Frankfurt, which was still in the running, and Brighton have already been informed of Groß' decision.

But: BVB is currently still negotiating with Brighton. The deal should be completed soon. The transfer fee is in the range of € 7-10m. @Plettigoal @SkySportDE”

Just a matter of agreeing the fee.

Whilst there is 6 weeks to get the deal done, I fear he’ll be a Dortmund player by next week. 😢

Mixed reaction from Dortmund fans. Some delighted, some thinking 10m for an "average 33yo is way over the top.

As polarised as the Albion fans (until he decided to move on).

Really?

I think Albion fans are fairly unanimous in that he has been our best and most influential player since he joined us.

Frankly, (I wouldn’t normally say this….about opinions etc), but anyone who can’t or hasn’t been able to see what Pascal has brought to the team, throughout his time here, knows very little about football.

Big loss.

Totally agree. And it will be really sad that he never got to say goodbye in the way Ali Mac did.
Hopefully he will get the chance to attend a home game early in the season, so fans can show their appreciation.

We desperately need to sign some senior midfielders who are ready to go straight into the first XI. Missing out on KDH looks an even bigger problem now.

I wonder if Milner will be put in the centre?

If Groß and Gilmour are off, do we keep Dahou or Moder? Both missed out on the tour as I suspect they are concentrating on moves out.

I’d still prefer Gomez and another new senior midfielder though.

If the answers to any of these questions are Milner or Dahoud then we’re in trouble!

I don't hthink I'd have to look too far back on NSC to find quotes about him being too slow, get rid and "every manager picks him but I can't see it" quotes.

I agree, almosy unanimous on NSC now that he is going and definitely far fewer begative posts as people have come to understand his value, but NSC has not been universally supportive over the years by any means.

I remember at the start of last season (and the one before) the various 'get rid' posts. I mean, what does he actually do? Slow, doesn't score (enough) or dominate (enough) or set up goals (enough) or lend a majestic presence to proceedings (enough). Yeah, get rid. Boo!

Grates that Lallana got a staged exit fit for a hero and Pascal leaves without a murmer

Unfortunately he was a victim of his own flexibility with him being moved all over the park , personally thought his best position was as a 10 . Also thought it was wrong (imbalanced) to start him and Lallana in the same team .

Was he a great player for us, the answer is undoubtedly yes but he did have some bad patches. lack of speed was also an issue but to be fair if he had a turn of speed he probably would have played for a bigger German club.

Hope he changes his mind but playing in his native country, for a big club with champions league football makes it a 'no brainer'

I think people have questioned his pace, but very few have questioned his ability, so differ to you on that.

Edit - I think everyone knows he’s not fast in terms of pace, but intellectually he’s one of the quickest in our team.

Those that bothered staying after the last game of the season gave him a bit of a send off as I think a lot thought he would be off, I'm sure in hindsight many would wish the god like staged exit for Bruno hadn't happened. In the days of zero testimonial matches very few "legends" get a proper send off nowadays.

I thought his poor set pieces last season were much worse than any lack of pace, most of them, especially in the second half of the season were shit imo :shrug:

At the risk of being seen as controversial both Barco and Gilmour were more threatening on the limited number of occasions they got to take them

Not so much Lewis :lolol:
