When I say they're on par with us I'm strictly talking about modern times I.E the last several years.
And yeah we're in no position to take key Dortmund players nowadays. We're handicapped by the backwards league we're in and the World wide negative reputation it's had since Calciopoli I.E corruption, retirement home, empty stadia etc.

If di maria and khedira stay in rm, would you try to sign Isco for 40m with the Vidal money, that seems like a fair price given rm is overpopulated in mc.
--------Buffon
Lich-Barza-Chielli-Evra
Pereyra-Pogba-Pirlo-Isco
-----Tevez--Llorente
It reminds me of our 2004-2006 squad :')
That's horrible, would be lucky to beat Delneris Juve.
Pereyra as our starting RM - Bad idea.
Isco out wide - Terrible idea. He couldn't adapt to a normal CM role under Carlo, God only knows how bad he'd be in that system. PLays to literally 0 of his strengths.
Pirlo in a 4-4-2, with only Pogba covering for him. Not only will Pirlo be overworked, Pogba will have to neglect his offensive duties which means he's not being used remotely well.
