Julian Weigl

It’s not really how City operate. They wouldn’t have bothered to comment on speculation if we were genuinely after him. The fact that they briefed journalists that there is no interest should probably be taken at face value.

Ric, genuine question....why brief you not interested in a player? All these names getting mentioned are just internet rumours and fans guessing/throwing names around....Whether the interest is real or not. Just dont get why we would want to waste our time denying something.....if anything, by not denying a rumour, it might push the price up for some of these players and make it more expensive for the top 4 in the prem to improve...denying only clears the way and makes life easier, surely? If we didnt want these rumours to start, it might have been best not to confirm we trying to sign cover for Fern, then maybe there would have been no rumours to deny? cheers

It’s so we don’t get used by agents in contract negotiations when we have no intentions of moving for a player.

For me the only reason for the club to deny a rumour is if there’s something in it for them.

If Weigl has to complete a move to PSG in order for us to buy one of PSG’s players, it would make perfect sense to issue a denial that we’re in for Weigl..

Don't think he is "special". I can only think of Frankie De Jong, Ndombele and Savic. The latter 2 are not exactly similar to the first one.
I think Pep's definition of Special and the regular fans definition differ.

Pep was simply suggesting someone who could do the job asked and also wanted to come here. (In contrast to Jorghino who didn't). Not to be confused with being special (I.e world reknownly special as in good.)


All that said :)

Yeah, I think you’re right.
 
Lots of noise from Germany on Weigl being City's next DM choice in January.
As to whether he's 1st choice or the crash test dummy for Utd to buy - who knows?
 
Absolute nonsense at 68 million. Maybe if the pound tanks before the summer window but thats it!

Worth about 35 with potential factored in after a dreadful couple of years at Dortmund.

To be fair it was a poor year, and that maybe down to the experienced players in the team all being out and having to play with kids, but i can not believe we are in for a player so mobility challenged
 
I like Weigl more than De Jong, if Weigl were physically stronger he would be the perfect signing for the midfield.


Milan and Manchester City want to include Julian Weigl in Borussia Dortmund. (Calciomercato)

Why do you like Weigl over DeJong?
