Agreed. He's worth that at his age and with his peak still ahead. It's not really that expensive for promising talent.

I don't know if he is worth it or not. Considering the biggest transfer from a German club was Gotze at 37m euro (or around that), its over priced.

But the point is, we need quality players now and if we have to over pay by 5-10m euro/pounds than we should do that rather than losing that player to a rival

Not far off half what United paid for Di Maria, who had a bigger reputation but not sure he is as good as KDB at this point. Just do the deal if we have a lot to spend or someone else will if he leaves Wolfsburg. I watch KDB regularly and he is NOT a flawless player but is a damn exciting player who will look for ways to make things happen.

With Reus and Bale not on the market, we should be trying to sign KDB and either Sterling or Depay, probably Sterling for the homegrown quota (but double the cost). We are a stale team and all phases of our midfield need changing where the real problem is (defence would be OK if we had more legs in the midfield and runners tracking back).

I would be happy with Sterling and KDB. playing either side of Silva (who in turn plays in a deeper role).

Sterling has weaknesses. He doesn't have composure and his finishing is poor, and his vision and passing may not be top class. But his close control at pace is something we have needed for a long time, and his off the ball movement is very good. He gets into very good positions, if he can work on his weaknesses he can become a top top player.

KDB's isn't the most accurate with his passes, but looking at Di Maria's stats he is not far off and his drive, directness, set piece proficiency is something that would probably affect the result more than say Nasri's ball retention. His crossing is a bonus too (and the fact the he isn't the quickest means he will have someone in the box to cross the bal to (tongue in cheek)) as long as we have people in the box.

Their wages would also be probably less than the players they should replace (Dzeko and Nasri -> shift to 433). Sterling maybe overpriced at 50M (hopefully that figure will include sizeable add ons), but even adding De Bruyne's fee takes the total to 87M pounds, which is still less than half of the supposed 200M we can spend.

These two are very attainable targets and we should tie these deals up as quickly as possible before moving on to CM which will be much harder.
Koke and Pogba who should be our top 2 CM targets, those will be difficult to obtain even if we have the funds.

I've watched him 3 times this season and can assure everyone he'd walk into our first 11.

He's very very good.

I'd be offering them Dzeko + a fee.

Win wins all round.

 

[Andy Morrisons jock strap]

Does seem to tick all the boxes of what we are lacking, energy direct, shoots on site, creates, and at 23 has his best years ahead

 

[MeatHunterrr]

This guy seems to fit the profile, direct, energetic, wants to shoot and creates chances + young.

The german league is bobbins. This lads numbers hugely overrate his actual abilities.
