Thought there were quotes about agreeing an £18m fee?
Not seen those.
Pretty sure he'll leave bayern. Pep's dropped the double pivot and I'd say he fancies schweinsteiger, Martinez and Thiago ahead of gustavo for that deep midfield spot
Yeah, he's on the move. Think they 'said' as much by entering into negotiations with Wolfsburg.
Allegedly it was his agent Roger Wittmann who revealed, in an interview with some Austrian Radio station, that Bayern had accepted an €18m bid from us. :hmm:
€18m would be a steal, get it done 🙂
I'd love it if we signed him. Exactly what we need. Need a bit more though...
26 is a good age aswell
He's not rated exceptionally highly by Bayern fans is he?
Acht nein
Not weltklasse
Nur ein bischen
Ja me neither
I've looked for his agent's comments quoted but there's nothing out there
I don't really know anyone who watches the Bundesliga that regularly who thinks this guy is anything better than decent.
Still, as things are getting desperate, I'd probably have him.
He's big, athletic, and can play a bit, that's all I'm looking for in a CM this summer.
Gotta wonder if we're seeing a potential centreback in Gustavo. Assuming we're even interested.
Wouldn't mind him as 4th choice CB, similar to how we used Song.
We're not going to sign a 4th choice centreback for £18 million. That's more than our current transfer record.
No, I mean he would be our first choice midfielder but could also cover CB in an emergency.
Like Song used to do.
Honestly, with Gustavo and Sagna both able to cover at CB if needed I'd be fine with Per, Kos, and Verms.
he's a good player, but is he worth 15-20 mill?
Yes, relative to others
