That makes sense, the preferential treatment Munich seem to get over foreign buyers is completely idiotic.
At the same time, some of these young players are coming out and saying they rather stay home than go out to a foreign league at a young age. Laporte mentioned it, last season Draxler left Schalke but moved to Wolfsburg after persistent links to Arsenal and said he wasn't ready for that move just yet and rather stay in Germany. Sané is real close with his family, his father made Germany home, he has a younger brother also in the academy and an older one who just left. It's not out of the question that there's merit to the Bayern being a landing spot to stay close if he doesn't choose us in the end.That makes sense, the preferential treatment Munich seem to get over foreign buyers is completely idiotic.
Well we don't necessarly know what happens behind the scenes. It could be likely that players push for the move to Bayern as they are content in Germany which makes the deal easier to complete and reduces the price.

we need this done this summer or turn our attention elsewhereFor those reasons you mentioned, I think it would be best to close this deal this summer. I think 12 months with Bayern "whispering" in his ear, could only make it more difficult to sign him in 2017 ;)
That could be true but it's not just with German players. Remember Comical Ali's comments about De Bruyne?
Going to stop listening to the ITK on here. I don't doubt they post in good faith and this is in no way a dig, but they are consistently wrong this window and it is becoming frustrating to constantly believe what they say
It's cool mate, there's a posted called Ojo on here as well, sometimes people get us mixed up (not saying it was him mind).I take your word for it, and would like to apologise if I made a mistake.
Isn't he the lad that played the Silva prank on the rag forum?It's cool mate, there's a posted called Ojo on here as well, sometimes people get us mixed up (not saying it was him mind).
Genuine question, with things looking like they might be stalling in Sane transfer talks, could signing Gabriel Jesus reduce the need for us to meet Sane's valuation? 32mil euros for Jesus, isnt cheap for a 19 year old from Palmeiras, so I'm guessing we might have big plans for him, especially if he could still join us in Jan. Both seem similar type of players so if Jesus deal is done, maybe we no longer feel under pressure to meet Schalke's asking price?
Very odd that they are possibly willing to hold out a year to take less money for him. We should just pay the 50 if we think he is that good and want him that badly.
But why does it feel like all of the Bundesliga teams, maybe with the exception of BVB, seem to be OK with the fact that they are a feeder team for Bayern and almost willing to help them (lower fee next year for Bayern to possibly sweep in). Its almost as if they all know they have no chance of beating Bayern for the title and are OK with just support Bayern in winning Europe.
Imminent.
Imminent is the new alloffs lol
