4 seems a little short since we need probably 2 CM's, 2 fullbacks, sounds like a CB is a cert, and a wide attacker/striker. But this would be a great start.
 
That's a bargain price

Sounds too good to be true that price

The Pep factor.

That's because it is too good to be true.


In the article it says this:

Manchester City have opened talks with Borussia Dortmund over İlkay Gündoğan, informing the Bundesliga side that they are prepared to pay €18 million (£13.95 million) with a further €5m (£3.88m) depending on performances.

Dortmund are yet to respond to that offer, but are likely to inform the Champions League semi-finalists that they would need to offer considerably more to persuade them to part with the 25-year-old.

Pep seems to use midfielders everywhere so he will probably sign 4 of them :-)
Gundogan Pogba Isco and Sanchez. And frankly, ID be okay going into next season.

Denayer replaces Demichelis. Get those 4 in and I think we come out significantly better off. Release, Yaya, Kolarov, Bony and Demichelis. We wouldn't be perfect, but will be a lot better than people expect.
 
My German newspaper talks about a first official bid from City being too low for Dortmund who allegedly want 30 million Euros which equals something like 23 million pounds. I think this will get done, just need to agree on the price, and it does not sound as if this could be all too difficult. 23 million is a steal.
 
Really want this guy best passer in the Bundesliga in my opinion and if it is actually the numbers we are saying that will be a steal
 
Here's the source so do one yourself.


lkay Gundogan injured again, worry for Manchester City


If it hadn't been for injury problems then it's pretty certain Ilkay Gundogan would have left Borussia Dortmund last summer. The club announced the player was set to leave and Gundogan commented on it too, it's worth pointing out that so far was the midfielder out of the Dortmund door that at one point odds of around 8/1 were available on him staying (a happy Sport Witness memory).

No club came forward who were prepared to satisfy the financial demands of both player and club, and so Gundogan backtracked, extended his contract by a single year, until June 2017, and made sure we were all set for the same situation a year later.

This time around things are different, Gundogan has proven he's returned from a long term back injury situation, and that will have helped gather more interest. Manchester City are the most linked club, with claims all over Germany about a deal being close.

However, the player has yet again succumbed to injury. Bild report that after Dortmund's last match, Gundogan was seen with his calf bandaged, and 'walked silently and frustrated' in the dressing room. Dortmund have said he'd taken a blow to the shin, but Bild point out that the injury comes not so long after Gundogan picked up another in early March, leaving him out for over a month.

On one hand the injuries could be nothing to do with a long term issue, and absolutely nothing to worry about, but on the other hand Manchester City will surely be keeping a close eye on the situation to make sure they're not on the verge of picking up a player who will be repeatedly out.

More like he is being frozen out imo as his move to us moves ever closer.
 
You really think Dortmund will accept such a laughable offer?
They'd rather sell Mkhitaryan and Hummels and make Gündogan the one having to sit out his contract.

We'd just have to put the money towards Pogba then and sign him on a free next summer :(
