Gundogan

[mosssideblue]

If 17mil is the asking price....then no reason why we cant buy Gundogan (injury or no injury) as his signing isnt going to impact our spending for the summer. At a bigger price bracket this might be a risky move but the long term potential of this signing and at this price, makes it a win-win for us.....I just wish Txiki would close some of these deals....find it really frustrating that Bayern can close Renato Sanches deal in 2 days after reports that the rags werent moving fast enough and we've reportedly been in talks for "months" for players like Gundogan and Laporte and still not closed even when one of them has a release clause we've rumoured to be willing to trigger.....

It's probably not that simple. As long as he closes the deal, when he does it isn't that much of a worry within reason

Do you think if we sign Gundogan we will sign anymore midfielders? Because we really need more than 1.

 

[George Hannah]

You must have been really unlucky.

I dislocated mine, did all the required physiotherapy at the hospital and have never had a problem with it since.

I assume he'll be getting the best treatment possible so we shouldn't think twice about getting him.

That's good news, I don't know anybody else personally who has had this excruciating injury. To be fair it happened late on in my sporting days and I gave up football and cricket afterwards. Nowadays the knee is very arthritic and unstable and will have to be replaced soon, probably didn't get the right care and physio at the time.

The transfer window isnt actually open yet is it? Hasnt it always been july 1st? or is my head in cuckoo land here?

Don't buy damaged goods - much better to persuade Dortmund to sell Weigl.

You not in cuckoo land mate!;) Your right....Officially no, its not open for another month but try telling that to teams like Bayern and Arsenal who have already done deals...With the euros coming up that "official" transfer date doesnt really make much impact as teams wanting to do their business earlier this year...

Agree in principle and sign in july then?

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I dislocated my kneecap - it has never been the same since. I think we should pass on this player.

I disclocated mine at the age of 21 and it's been weak ever since too. I'm 27 now but I'm not able to play football at the same intensity, as it can quite easily give way if I make a wrong turn.

At the time I was told there wasn't a surgical procedure that could be done, due to an impact fracture being caused by bone on bone.

Hopefully, if we sign him, his injury is not the same and he makes a 100% recovery.

I agree....what has surprised me this season is that teams have already confirmed signings and shown pictures of players signing contracts so early...as you say, normally you hear rumours of "agreement in principle" deals and then its confirmed closer to the transfer window...for teams like Bayern/Arsenal to be signing so soon after the season, I think this shows teams acting alot quicker this season with euros/copa in 2-3weeks...another example of this is athletico madrid signing Nico Gaitan from Benfica....looks like thats close to done and as he's been named in the Argentina squad for copa that deal has been done quickly...
