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

You’ve watched him a fair bit I assume?

Yep, I used to make a point of watching Dortmund when Haaland was there.

 

[JBizzle]

It’s done.

I refuse to believe it until I see him paraded at the Amex in a massive black puffer jacket

Fitness will be the key- he has had rotten luck over the last few years.
Was out for a few months with a knee injury last season, then got this shoulder injury that has kept him out for large parts of this season. Our medical team obviously fancy their chances though which is a good sign.

 

[amexer]

if he is that good why cant he get in the Dortmund side

You're talking about Dortmund not Crawley. Dortmund are a top 2 german & a regular quarter final champions league team. Not being able to get into Dortmund's side isn't a slight on the player

There's this kiddie they've got, you might have heard of him, Jude Bellingham. He's pretty good.

Good point. We should only be looking at players better than Bellingham IMHO.

They have pulled off what can only be described as a miracle on previously long term sick note Welbeck

 

[raymondo]

That is sensational. Looks perfect for the sort of player RDZ needs to receive the ball in deep areas from the GK and CBs.

Beautiful touch and change of direction. My caveat is that virtually anybody can look good in a highlights reel!

We look forward to seeing your personal highlights reel

 

[Pavilionaire]

In terms of where he is most likely to contribute to the team - and assuming both Mac and Caicedo leave in the summer - this is what I think:

1. Defensive Central Midfielder replacement for Caicedo.
2. Insurance policy in case Moder doesn't regain form / fitness.
3. Insurance policy in case Gilmour / MacAllister's replacement gets injured.
4. Experience of European football.

Who?

This, and holding James Milner's hand.

Bellingham, Reus, Can…. Pretty potent midfielders play his position. They are a fabulous side who regularly gets to the latter stages of the Champs League.

 

[The Fits]

If you haven't seen Bellingham much lately I'd argue he's the best CM in world football presentely. He is a phenomenal talent.

 

[The Fits]

Re his playing position, he is comfortable deep but I don't think he can be classed as a DM, he certainly won't do the work Caicedo does and will be encouraged to get much further up the field IMHO.

Is that the Jude Bellingham who has just won this season's player of the year award in the Bundesliga? If so, don't think he would get a game in our first team.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

While we wait for the club to announce Dahoud, here's a nice video of Bellingham doing beautiful things with a football.

Title is absolutely right, real shades of Zizou, my GOAT.

Small clue

Bellingham named Bundesliga player of the season

Borussia Dortmund's England midfielder Jude Bellingham is named the Bundesliga player of the season.

www.bbc.com

Bellingham has done well, still only 19. And if I was him I'd stay away from the Premier League. Well out of the spotlight as he makes his way to becoming one of the best midfielders of all time.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Got injured then lost his place to Bellingham/Brandt
