Likely to make a move for unlikely, have a chance of signing.....i think we would have a chance if we were more ambitious
If we put in a 60million bid for Aubemeyang, what's the worst that could happen, for the board probably that we would end up signing him
I seriously doubt Dortmund are going to sell him to anyone this summer.
Maybe not, but like i say no harm in trying is there?
No but he was unknown, same difference.Originally Posted by Letters
yep, two suitcases of that white powder should get us Gabriel Barbosa, Gabriel Jesus or in fact both of them. I'd take either of these youngsters anyday over Morata or Janssen btw.
'WHEN HE HAS A PLAN, WE BACK HIM, WHEN HE DOESN'T......WE KEEP QUIET'
Easy for a club to think they have no intention of selling but the mindset completely changes if there's a fat pile of cash sitting on the table. Players won't fall into our laps, we need to do the groundwork and at least give the club reason to consider selling.
It's probably the work permit situation that stops us from going out there. We must be on some sort of probation or watch list after that Denilson stunt.
I think that makes a lot of sense. And if Hummels hadn't of been poached by Bayern that is the sort of approach that probably would work. How proactive Gazidis and Dick Law are is a different matter though.
After Hummels departure and quite possibly Mkhitayran and Gundogen leaving this summer as well, I think Dortmund's board will do whatever it takes to keep Aubemyang even if it means stapling him to the ground. They've got no other choice to prevent a fan revolt.
And yeah I agree, I'd much rather take a punt on Janssen than Morata tbh. The three key things we need from a striker are goals, goals and goals!
Gündogan has officially joined City from Dortmund for about £20m.
Bilbao's Laporte is reportedly close too, at around £39m.
