@Ric @tolmie's hairdoo this concrete news or more paper talk ?

from the first page of this thread:

Our interest in him is genuine. Guardiola is a fan.

It will cost a lot more than 30m though if I remember Schalke's DOF/chairman's quotes from a few months ago correctly.

Incredibly fast, powerful player. Great dibbler. Poor finishing, worse shot technique than sterling, but that will improve. Overall, i wouldnt spend 40 million when we have roberts, barker, nemane, and of course brahim in the youth system.

oh lord

That was around January time though , there hasn't been any links to him for ages

probably a good thing. A lot of the ground work may already be completed since then, similar to KDB last year, aside from when Allofs drug it out the last couple weeks.

I like our chances on ANY player against the Rags.
Rags: traditional big club, with $ and will be in the Europa next season.
They "might" have LVG for 1 more year? or 1 more week? or who knows.

Us: upcoming big club with $$$ and will be in champions next season.
oh and we have the best or at least top 3-4 managers in PEP for at least 3 seasons.

if the $ is remotely comparable, any player would be nuts to go there.
-now if they settled whats happening with the Turtle, then we have a totally different debate.

Direct replacement for navas, right? Seems very similar to Sterling when we grabbed him last summer. If Pep likes, get him in. He's had a good long look at him.

Pep has apparently already told Txiki he wants all our signings done by the Euros. Imagine it'll be a busy couple of weeks.

Where's that from? Someone reputable, or just random paper talk? Would be great if that's true though.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

With Leroy Sane getting named in the German squad, does this mean we need to move a little quicker in talks to get this done before the euros (if he is a target)? I do get the feeling that Txiki likes to show interest in a player but doesnt like to rush things when it comes to formal offers.... It seems other teams are already making moves to get deals done before the euros and I just hope Txiki is doing the same....

I don't think he will improve the starting eleven or the bench.

 

[Dax777]

He is soft! Like his ball skills. Especially if you only watch it on YouTube. But watch a few games and you'd see a lot of Jovetic's loose with the ball issues.

Not gritty enough for me.He is young though, so could very well explode. But right now, I'd be meh on his signing.

it would be ideal to have our business done before the Euros/Copa, but everyone aside from the selling clubs always want that. We did sign Silva in the middle of World Cup 2010 though if memory serves, so any time this summer is possible.

"Sane is a huge talent and I can only congratulate Germany to have a talent like him."

Pep, 21 November

I do like the move but would agree that this isnt our biggest need and would like CM and LB/RB needs to be sorted out before adding another winger...

I agree mate.....just would be nice to get things done early for a change!;) The last few summer transfer windows have seemed to drag on, with us holding back formal offers as long as possible....

 

[DClarkMiamiU]

Us signing a player before euros... that's basically a death sentence for them.
99% chance of an injury the minute the ink dries lol.

As long as we get everybody we need it doesn't matter what order they come in.

Fair point mate!;)

I actually belong to a minority that thinks wingee is our greatest need. 2 of them really. These are positions that can alter our status. Fullbacks on the other hand are good, but their overall influence is less. Unless we are getting Alaba or someone of that ilk, I don't think the effect will be that great. Winger on the other hand we have, right now 1 backup and one possible project. Even CM can be fortified by repueposing Nasri and Silva to the Center with The Ferns interchanging at DM. Denayer will return at RB, but no one at WM is currently at the level of speed/skill combo Pep gas used at his last 2 stops.
