Julian Weigl

I do wonder if we will be in for Dahoud, who is a similar player and will be available for much much cheaper..

Isn't Dahoud rumoured to be going to Dortmund?

Isn't Dahoud rumoured to be going to Dortmund?

Yeah, all but confirmed apparently. They've been getting their business done pretty early, Toprak from Leverkusen signed for them (as of summer) just after the January window closed too.

Even with them getting Dahoud I still can't see us stealing Weigl unfortunately. Gotze will most likely be out of action for a while and that leaves them with Castro, Kagawa and Guerrero as their midfielders. Would've loved to see Weigl replace Toure this summer though, the lad would thrive under Pep and would give us a pivot for the next decade.

Out for 3-4 months according to Dortmund.

Broken ankle after an awkward challenge/landing according to the media, sounds similar to Laporte's injury at the end of last season. Hopefully the lad makes as good a recovery, always awful to see a footballer get badly injured but even worse when it's a youngster with so much potential.

Dortmund aren't having much luck with major injuries to their players. Good luck to both Gotze and Weigl in their recoveries.

Would say he probably won't be leaving Dortmund this summer, although I didn't think he would before the injury either.

 

[Neville Kneville]

If he's broken his leg, it probably means he's on his way.

I'm surprised we haven't tried Stones in midfield yet.
