The deal's essentially done. You don't need confirmation on things like this. Sadly, Dortmund can't do anything about it and I doubt he gives a shit about fans' reactions when he's getting a twentyfold wage increase.
true, but we could offer him high wages as well, and dortmund could accept a bid from us, allowing him to talk to us. if we are top in jan, offer him very high wages, he might be tempted. keeps his reputation at dortmund, gets to make a mark in a new league, new challenge plus he is best mates with Szcesney.Quote:

By all means give it a go as long as we don't waste too much time on it. If he's made up his mind on Bayern there's nothing we can do, and Dortmund have no say in it either since with his contract situation. He can wait until June and walk to any team he wants.
I reckon Berbatov would be a decent short term signing. Something tells me he'd raise his game playing with better players (and I include Spurs and Manure in this).
I really think we need someone lively up front who is willing and able to shoot and score out of nothing. Giroud holds the ball up well, works hard but he's not the deadly in front of goal.
Giroud is probably the most improved player in the league (including Ramsey). He'd be very hard to replace because he gives us a lot defensively as well that most other strikers couldn't replicate. Whoever we bring in, if anyone, would be second string to Giroud so don't expect any big money superstars. That shouldn't stop us bidding £40,000,002 for Suarez just to piss Rodgers off and get him to do that funny temper tantrum thing again.
Giroud has improved for sure, just don't think he's dangerous in front of goal, he'll get goals obviously he's just not a constant threat.
I've changed my mind, let's buy all the players.
Definitely need a new striker, Bif has been excellent for us just not prolific enough in front of the goal. :coffee:
