[Albion] Mahmoud Dahoud (Loaned to VfB Stuttgart 31/01/24)

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Ok on a free I suppose but just doesn't seem to play enough. Are milner and him gonna be our bench players ? If yes, great.

He dislocated his shoulder in August and needed surgery, which put him out until November.

He also plays in the same position as Jude Bellingham and Julian Brandt, so not a huge surprise he's struggled for game time this season.

Last season he played regularly in a Dortmund team which finished second.

If De Zerbi can get the best out of him, he could be much more than a bench player.

Groß busters?

Somebody's on FIRE. Must be Fridat

 

[Comrade Sam]

Feels like a Veltman style signing, massively experienced pro that has gone a little stale and will have a rebirth with us.

 

[Machiavelli]

I've never understood the hate towards him. He rarely gets anything wrong. Folk just don't seem to like him stating who is after our players. It's his job.

I don't like him because he's all of what's wrong with PL football.
I agree he's usually right, but that's because he's in the pay of agents and, probably even more so, the Super League 12 who use him to unsettle players from lil ol clubs like teamslikeBrighton

Brighton to beat Premier League rivals to Dortmund star and third summer signing

Brighton are closing in on the free transfer signing of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud, talkSPORT understands. The Seagulls are set to fend off competition from a host of Premier Leagu…

If there's something strange about Mamoud Dahoud,
Who you gonna call?

Brilliant- not yet signed but we already have a chant for him.

141 appearances for Dortmund since 2017.

141 appearances for Dortmund since 2017 equates to circa 20 appearances per season.

That is a statistic which, presumably suggests substantial period(s) on the side lines ( injured or sick ), and concerns me not just a little.

Perhaps I am missing something ?

Having some lad called ‘Bellingham’ in his position probably hasn’t helped

His entire injury history can be seen here:

This is the injury history of Mahmoud Dahoud from Borussia Dortmund. On this page injuries as well as suspensions.

His two longest injuries are something that should be behind him now. I think the thing you’re missing is the fact he’s been competing with some great midfielders.

Bellingham, Can, Reus, Brandt, Witsel, Delaney, Gotze. Can’t blame him for not starting every game.

Probably more down to who he was competing in midfield for a starting place with. Jude Bellingham being first name on the team sheet so this guy, Emre Can, Reus, and others fighting it out to also play..

If true, an excellent signing and getting him on a free is another amazing piece of business!

Not a direct replacement for Mac Allister and certainly not Caicedo. He’s like a cross between Mac Allister and Lallana. Like Mac he’s better a bit deeper, has great control and can pick a pass. Like Lallana he’s got lovely balance and dribbling ability.

Really hope we can get this done. To add him to Pedro and Milner would be a wonderful transfer window already.

Great work from the club again….looks like a Veltman-esque signing. Recruitment team are playing a blinder at the moment.

Agree.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I want Alex Scott.

It’s nice to us getting our business done super early if this is true. 3 signings all but complete when we’ve still got 5 games to play this season.

Also seems to be another player De Zerbi is a fan of, tried to sign him for Sassuolo allegedly.

Probably trying to sign players early to soften the blow when We sell our best players

Exactly this according to RdZ

My twin's brother watches Dortmund a lot. He said he's scheissehaus.

 

[Mancgull]

Likely to fill one of the two DCM spaces having looked at his YouTube highlights. Very technical player who will resist the press, well.
For no transfer fee he looks a bargain.

Not just to soften the blow. Getting them in early means we won't be held to ransom by clubs knowing we've got 100 milion + in our pocket.

Plus it means the new boys have a full preseason to bed in.

Indeed, his spider chart has more in common with Caicedo's than Alexis's.



Dahoud's and Milner's charts are very similar.
