Pretty much this. Bayern aren't going to sell us one of the best players in the world in his position. They probably wouldn't sell us a fucking turd sandwich after taking Pep.

True enouh. We better sign a left back thogh. Rodriguez, or maybe bayern would sell bernat?Whilst it's pretty obvious sk3ptical doesn't actually have anything concrete to back up his assertions I do tend to agree with his general sentiments. Bayern, having lost their manager to City, will be loathed to sell us a player as well, and certainly one such as Alaba. As far as I'm aware his contract situation isn't going to help us either as he's got a fair while left on it. Bayern are in a strong position here and I don't see them backing down and allowing Guardiola to leave and take one of their best young players with him.

I don't think we'd have a problem selling Götze or Bernat to you guys, but I doubt they are very high on Pep's wish list haha. Bernat offers zilch going forward and passes the ball backwards 99% of the time, I don't know why his name is mentioned so often around here.Pretty much this.

Ricardo Rodriguez I find to be overrated to be honest. His setpiece abiltiy makes him look spectacular in highlights clips and his weaknesses less visible. He's not quick for a fullback, not good defensively and his technical abiltiy is not top notch. Then again it's difficult to find decent fullbacks these days so he might be one of the better options.
What seems to be stalling Alaba's contract extension is his preference to play in midfield in the future. He's always said he wants to play in the center. I don't know whether Bayern is going to fulfill his wish - as mentioned, good fullbacks are hard to come by, much more so than midfielders.

Except for switching Laporte for Stones, getting him 10 million cheaper and starying Delph atvleft back and keeping the money on Alaba. The above is my dream team.
Hart
Delph
Denayer
Laporte(30)
Kompany
Gundogan(25)
Pogba(75)
Isco(40)
DeBryune
Sterling
Aguero.
Bench
GK
Clichy
Sagna
Otamendi
Dihno
Silva
Dembele(25)
Kelechi
I'm open minded to the idea....but what makes you think Delph is the answer to our left back problems? i'm talking both ability and injury record.

What's your concern regarding Denayer?The idea of spending £200m and then having Delph and Denayer as our starting fullbacks. Jesus
That he's not a RB. He might be able to do a job there, but he's nowhere near good enough to be our first choice RB. I'd have no objection to him being considered an option there, especially as a defensive option if needed, but he's not nearly good enough going forwards for a first choice fullback in an attacking side. Currently our fullbacks are a real weak point going forwards imo, but I can't see any way in which switching to Denayer and Delph is anything but a downgrade.What's your concern regarding Denayer?
Injury record wise, probably not.I'm open minded to the idea....but what makes you think Delph is the answer to our left back problems? i'm talking both ability and injury record.
But ability wise, he is like Danny Rose, Alaba, Bernat and a few other good midfielders who have been converted to Fullbacks. Including our own Pablo Zabaleta. I think the transition will be seamless. But he'd have to stay healthy. I agree his record on that so far has been disappointing. :(
