Julian Weigl

[Delphacito]

Hope we get him. He will be the German National Team's rock for the next 10 years.

 

[Sudkurvv]

will most likely be the toughest player to pry from BVB's current crop of players. Young and very hard to come by a CDM with the composure and vision on the ball he has not to mention BVB are looking to extend him. Wouldn't be surprised if hes given an outrageous release clause of 60M+.

60mil is a snip in the current market.

 

[Kompany is King]

Like the look of him but I have to ask who would he replace in our current team?

I recognise we have to build for the future. Would he come just to be a part player, early on?

It's a squad game these days though. We'll certainly be losing one midfielder next summer (Toure), and it's quite possible Delph and Fernando could go too. Not saying we'll necessarily be in for Weigl, but I'm sure a CM is high on the list of priorities next summer. We seem to be pretty sorted long term for forwards and attacking midfielders, so would've thought a centre half, centre mid and full backs will be where we look to strengthen.

I think in terms of forwards possibly Navas will go. I'm sure I read somewhere he's getting to the end of his contract. Having said that I don't think we'll be spending big on that position with what we have already and Roberts to come back.

I think next summers window will see reinforcements for the deep lying CM and FB positions.

Yeah, I think either Roberts or Moreno will replace Navas if things go to plan.

I've not seen a lot of Roberts since his move to Celtic but going off what I've read he seems to be doing well

The 89m midfielder plays in Dortmund.

 

[chicagoblue23]

We have nobody but Fernandhino to adequately cover the pivot spot. If we add Weigl we can kick Fern to RB, and have him as the cover for Weigl.

Fern. Stones. Kompany/whoever Kolorav

Weigl
De Bruyne. Gundogan

Sterling. Aguero. Jesus

That's a UCL winning squad.

yep kick our best midfielder to a position he has never played before

I don't think there's any doubt he'd succeed as a RB in this system. He's getting old, there needs to be cover for the CDM position.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Signing someone like Weigl is not a bad idea at all. He could be the long term option for us in DM position. Extend Fernandinho's contract by 1 year and he could be very good back up option providing quality depth for year or two along with Aleix Garcia. Sell Fernando and Delph.

Though this guy probably will have lots of top clubs interested so.. wouldn't be surprised if he does extend with BVB as well.

Is "Kolorav" the guy who played the last 2 games or the fellow who looked shit hot at the start of the season.

 

[City_Sean]

Having Weigl and Fernandinho for the no6 position would be a dream. It'd also allow us to use Ferna in other positions, whilst allowing us to keep the ball moving through the opposition's press.

agreed! weigl for midfield next summer along with new full backs should be the only purchases we need!

I'd say we'll almost certainly be in for another centre half next summer.

think vinny will be gone ric? cant imagine pep is too happy with his fitness problems? wouldn't surprise me if we went back for laporte to be honest

Water is wet, grass is green etc

Agree Ric. I'd imagine Denayer and Kompany will be shipped on so a new CB is of upmost priority.
