It's alright, the 'tax' is mostly for english players. There's something structured in Reid's contract; not sure it is a release clause as such as I can't really remember.

Anyone know how good ILKAY GÜNDOGAN is. I've seen him a bit and he looks good but I can't say I watched him all season

Reid has been great this season. Prefer him over Williams. The West Ham fan at AM has been raving about him all season long.

Gundogan is better than anyone else in his position currently at this age group

Be a pretty big deal here in NZ if we signed Reid. I remember we were briefly linked after the World Cup before he signed for West Ham.

He is someone that is going to be world class (many would say that he is, already). With so many leaving Dortmund this season, I don't see anyone taking away Gundogan from them.

Not me, I only deal in facts.

Fats?

Peps has great taste in women.

That's probably why he's so fat.

Never eats a whole one.

Purely speculating here, but i think the german clubs doing well in the CL and Pep moving to Bayern has kinda affected our transfer plans/targets. In the last two years we have been linked with Bundesliga players a lot regularly and i suspect we had been scouting there a lot more. With all the increased attention to bundesliga i think the competition for players has suddenly increased.

Real looking for a CM. Vidal was first choice, but might go with Marchetti with Carlo coming from PSG. Gundogan also a target.

AFC-Juve vying for Jovetic. Higuain to Juve almost done. Juve also looking at Tevez.

Chelsea want two strikers

Real and City competing for Isco.

Real also looking at Bale. Who is also in MUFC sights

Lot of demand for strikers this summer!

Would any of you take Torres or Ba off Chelsea's hands? I would in a heartbeat.

Torres? Wouldn't suit us in the slightest and he's proven he's an unreliable risk.

I don't think Ba would be that great either, but I'd take him at the right price.

I woudn't. Torres is a lost cause. And BA is a strange one

I'd take Ba.

Would've take Ba in Jan. Want neither now. Better available and they aren't selling to us so why even bother wasting time discussing things not happening.
