SET, I think you missed my point, i was referring to the players we're continually linked with. I agree with you. I'd imagine, with two years left on his deal, he'd fetch about 35-40 mil. All the players mentioned are gettable though. For the right fee. Barca may so "no" to a Fabregas deal now, but shove 45/50mill under their nose and they will listen. When you see Marquinhos going for 35mill, and every club knows we need a midfielder badly, we aint gonna get one on the cheap. For all the talk of "unlimited funds", etc, it's looking like bullshit when we are going in with low figures and keep upping it slightly when the previous bid gets rejected. Especially when the selling club don't need to sell. Eventually we are going to either hit our limit (when we will give up trying to buy said player and make up some excuse about it not being because of the money) or we are actually/eventually going to offer an amount that makes it hard for a club to say no - I.E. Bale for 85mill is a no brainer for Spurs (if true obv). Fabregas depends on the new manager, and how badly Barca want defensive reinforcements. Gundogan depends on us making it worth Dortmund's while to sell. 20mill aint though. If we have the money and are actually willing/able to spend it, no deal is impossible.

Didn't know 20 Mil is what is needed to make a clone from said person's wad ...

We looked at him when he was at Nurnemburg. Now weep. yes, would love to read the scout report for that. Or find out why we didn't actually go for him In fairness, he's developed incredibly since then. Though I suppose a scout should spot that potential.

Though I suppose a scout should spot that potential.Exactly. Its one thing spotting potential, bringing the player in and then the player not succeeding for one reason or another. But to miss it altogether? Unless, as Karthy said, we enquired and he didn't want to leave Germany at the time / come to England at the time. Dortmund were the only German club in for him IIRC, and there was us and a couple other foreign teams interested too. So maybe he told them the same thing.

On that link, the Sun is 5th most reliable so. I dunno, have the Sun EVER been right? If anything I'm just glad to see a journo somewhere actually has the sense to link us to a player we all know we need, it's about time people stop playing with the filters in FM and use their common sense. Custis who covers us and City is pretty reliable. Shame he's a bellend in the flesh though. Fat cunt.

Watching the German Charity Shield. We rightly go on about Bayerns midfield but this guy and Bender never lose the midfield battle against them. I'd have either of them in a heartbeat.

Aye, I have either as well. It has just hit me at half-time there that Götze's at Bayern now. It's heart-breaking.

Fantastic player but can't see Dortmund willing to sell when they've already lost Goetze and will lose Lewandowski next season.

Did you see the hurting Bender put on Thiago at the very enc of the first half? Lovely to see! Thiago has been gash btw.

Bayern equalise, seconds later, Van Buyten scores a peach of an own-goal header.
Oh, and now Gundogan has scored a pearler.
