Mats Hummels

It might not be an actual written ‘policy’, but the essence of it is there in the assessment of potential recruits. It’s hardly unusual……been publicly spouted by (for example) Frank at Brentford, the All Blacks and (astonishingly perhaps) Man U
Yeah agreed, it's not a policy, but personality type, temperament and mentality simply has to be a consideration with new signings. By all accounts, Caicedo, Cucurella etc were pretty well liked whilst they were here tooIt might not be an actual written ‘policy’, but the essence of it is there in the assessment of potential recruits.

Chelsea probably have pre transfer Dickhead coaches
Same for any employer. Best advice I ever had was from our former head of Private Banking when we about to launch a growth programme with lots of hiring - ‘get going, but remember it’s still better to have a hole in your team than an asshole in your team’

Presumably if this signing came off, it would be the end of Igor Julio or Adam Webster?
Don’t rule out Hummels playing in the CB/DCM role. His passing is good enough.
I think Julio’s passing game and value would make him the ideal candidate along with rumoured interest from Italy.

They might get sold, but I doubt it will kill them.

This was my BVB fans response when I said we were linked..

Funny how fans go down the ‘yeah he’s rubbish, I never liked him anyway’ route when a player leaves their club.

If we had to bin off one, I'd get shot of Igor and keep Webby personally.
Webster has had his difficult spells and lost form, but he's also been pretty decent in spells and was getting back to his best at the back end of last season and is a top bloke around the squad imho.
Igor is just too immobile and while he's had a couple of ok games, he doesn't offer enough and is nowhere near better than what we already have imho

I’ve said similar before and I’ll say it again, if Igor Julio from Brazil was actually Ian James from Wales with the exact same skillset/previous playing history, he’d be looked upon far less favourably than he is!

What happened to the last player we signed on a free after being released by Dortmund?
Slight difference in levels.
As if we'd do a thing like that

As I pointed out earlier in the thread.
Would be an intriguing signing but definitely a risk with a 31 year old coach.

Crap, what should we do with Dunk, Milner, Welbeck?

You mention Hurzeler's age, how is that relevant to signing Hummels being a risk?
