Any official word on this? Not the Puma deal we wanted to see if it’s true…

He played in Nike boots today so he’s definitely not signed with Adidas…yet. That photo is from before today. His Nike contract is over so he can wear whatever brand he wants. I’m sure Mino and co. will want to get a binding war started over which sportswear brand will get his signature.

I just can't get super excited about him joining like others have. I've watched him quite a bit over the last year and as I've said before, he's still very, very raw and for what he wants to get paid- he should be far more complete/well rounded. It certainly wouldn't be the end of the world if we missed out and went another route, imo.

I know people will throw his ridiculous goal per game ratio in my face but just look at Chelsea and how all their Bundesliga attackers are faring in the PL. It's a different beast in the PL to the BL. If Pep wants him then I trust his judgment though.

I certainly understand what you are saying, however I trust in our staff to be able to coach the flaws out of his game, and maybe like Grealish, he will not initially be an automatic starter, until he is able to play the City way.

Sterling - New Balance
Foden - Nike
Laporte - Adidas
KDB - Nike
Cancelo - Nike
Bernardo - Adidas
Rodri - Nike
Grealish - Nike
… and so on…

Walker and Ederson are in Puma…

What’s it matter?

I'd take a raw player who's got 79 goals in 78 games for Dortmund. Imagine what he could be with our manager/staff/team.

I don't know. He might rather be Shipbuilding...

Like your style Bongo. Respect is due to anyone who can shoehorn the title of one of the greatest songs ever into a football thread. For the record (no pun intended), it has to be the Robert Wyatt version for me.

I’d agree more if it wasn’t for his impressive champions league goals per game. Isnt he well ahead of where messi, Renaldo, zidane,Henry etc we’re at the same age?

Cash bonuses. Added incentive for him to sign for both Puma and a Puma-sponsored club. I think similar happened with Neymar for PSG?

Takes some of the financial burden away from us, lands him a nice net bonus.
