Gundogan

[SPIDERBOY]

Was his injury a one-off or does he regularly miss weeks on end with injury?

Dunno if this is gospel..

He played this weekend.

I know he played this weekend, it was more a general question about his career

That's fucked up. We need to cut that out. It is one thing when the team genuinely doesn't want to sell and we force their hand, I get that. But these type deals, where the player is down to one year and has often stated he'd likely leave, and the team already has his replacement in place, it's beyond ridiculous to be paying 40 million With Wiegl, Ginter, Castro, Bender, Sahin and Mkhitaryn they are well covered in every spot Gundogan plays for them. I think they've prepared well for his departure. Yet we'll get fleeced. :(

When it's all said and done, I hope it's no more than 25 million. That will be commiserate to his talent and how little time he had left on his contract. Even if he goes on to be the best CM in the world, anything over 25 milion will still be a fleece.

We will always get fleeced as long as we're in the tier we're in now (PSG, Juve) and we continue to prove we're willing to overpay to get the players we need. It's also painfully obvious each window how badly we need need certain positions filled. It won't be that way 3-5 years from now after Pep builds his core and our academy starts producing good enough talent that can fit in comfortably in the first team. It's a slow process and we are heading in the right direction.

ST - set (Kun, Nacho)
Wings - Priorty
AM - set (KDB, Silva)
CM - major priority
CDM - set for now, will need help soon
LB/RB - going to need help soon
CB - need help

There's at least 4 major players that we need this window and everybody knows we're buying so we're going to be over paying for sure (Two midfielders, CB, and a wing). We'll be getting hosed 4/4 times this window. Next window we'll probably get fleeced for outside backs. After two windows we should be set and should start getting closer to paying market value. That's how I see it playing out at least.

absolutely agree with u regarding areas of need in the team

That picture is weeks old. That's what started the rumours off in the first place.

No it wasn't City bried the English press not long after Pep took over.

What the fuck is an outside back? Is this some old fuckers saying that us young cunts don't understand.

After Fernando's deal, nothing will surprise me.

The selling club want £38 million though so I imagine there will be a few weeks of toing and froing before we eventually pay £38 million.

I am sure I read somewhere he has a 22m release clause

I thought I did as well mate. It seems to have been ripped up and binned though! Haha!
