    Horn: One of the biggest goalkeeper talents and he is rated very highly. Before Xmas he has extented his contract until 2019, but a 9m€ clause was implemented so he ll prob stay at Cologne for 1 or 2 seasons more and then he could think about taking a new challenge. Liverpool was interested and clubs like Dortmund could be very interested too, as Weidenfeller ll leave latest 2016. Definitely chances to get him.

    Leno: Another one of the bigger goalkeeper talents. I rate him very highly, but there is still a blunder there from time to time following by class performances. I dont see him leaving Leverkusen any time soon. If u r intzerested in a keeper, then there r other, cheaper options..like

    Trapp: Another great product of the legendary keeper school of Gerry Ehrmann from Kaiserlautern. His contract ends 2016 so I think he ll leave Frankfurt at the end of the season. A clause of around 4-5m€ is reported.

    or

    Karius: Made his breakthrough this season and it was a little bit surprising to see him extending his contract beginning of the year. It is very likely that Karius used his expiring contract to implement a relatively cheap buyout clause.

    Goretzka is one of the biggest CM talents. Before he went to Schalke all German top clubs wanted him..Bayern after him for years..also the big guns from England, Spain and Italy. Unfortunately he has been injured this season, but is expected to be back soon. IMO he is going to become the next big thing and its impossible to get him now..he ll end up at bayern in 2 or 3 years. No chance for Juve to get this player.

    Selke: Played and won a fantastic U19 EC and also became top scorer. Had a great offer from Benfica last summer, but decided to stay at Bremen for less money. He has shown some good performances for Bremen and is their light at the end of the tunnel. He is still very raw and needs to play one or two seasons before making the next step. Bremen is notoriously skint, so they have to sell him at one point, If he wont extent beyond 2018.

    Süle: One of the big CB talents and IMO he is a bomb and ll be WC is some years..he has totally impressed and convinced me. What a player. Unfortunately he ruptured his ACL so he needs some time to be back. Hoffenheim is very well aware of his qualities and he wont leave for cheap. I think he ll stay there for at least another season, but 2016 he could maybe leave. TBO i dont see big chances for Juve to get him, but not impossible.

    Bittencourt is a good AM player with good performances for Hannover. Dortmund have a buy-back option, but I have no idea, if they want him back or not. If not, he should be easily gettable.

    Havent seen enough of Wendell or Gruezo to make an asssessment.

    So only Goretzka looks impossible with Leno and Süle highly unlikely.

    didnt know, feel sorry for him...

    i didnt like Vieirinha the few times i watched him last season and the 1 time i watched him this season. maybe hes better in other matches but from what ive seen he didnt really convince me. about De Bruyne, i was thinking he would be a potential Ribery-replacement candidate. the clubs have good relations, Bayern did sell them Gustavo for a fair price, they got Mandzukic for 13M etc. then there is that he said 2 years ago that he doesent really like living in Germany when he was at Werder prior to moving to London (maybe things changed now). financially, they can keep him, but when bigger clubs come calling HE might decide its time to move on...

    Vieirinha is a decent player..no world beater, but he constantly increased his performances and is now a relatively good and reliable player. He would be good as a squad player, but his contract is running out upcoming summer and he is obviously trying to use that situation to his advantage. Wolfsburg offered around 3.5m€, but Schalke is rumoured to be in pole position offering his 4.5m€..gross of course. His advantage is, that he is also a decent RB and so he could be useful there for Schalke as BU for Uchida and as additional option for the RW. Heldt also likes to overpay for wages a little for Bosmans or players having clauses..Stindl from Hannover (3m clause) prob next.

    I guarantee u that Bayern want De Bruyne..for sure they want him as soon as possible. What makes him interesting r not his skills to play on the wing though..he is simply not fast enough and no Ribery or Robben at all. Bayern obviously think that even Reus isnt perfectly suited to their system (I agree), so De Bruyne makes even less sense. No they want him, cos he would be ideal for their midfield. He is very complete and energetic with a lot of drive and good technique. That he can ALSO play on the wings and being useful there makes him interesting so that he can shift positions during the play..his versatility..more in the mood of Thiago than Ribery, but of course with his own attributes.

    I agree the very good relationships with VW and VfL make him a very possible candidate, but Bayern for sure wont get him upcoming summer and the chances in 2016 r not very high too..2017 would be the most realistic prediction, as he obviously has no buyout clause.

    The not very smart comment about Germany being just a short term solution while being at Bremen on loan is history..he was young and didnt know better..now he does, cos the style of Bundesliga suits him like a glove.

    Send Gio and replace with Osvaldo. The great man is up to something. Why spend money on a striker this winter when we can get one on loan and spend only wages?

    :beppe:


    He is cooking up something for summer.

    I'm going to be controversial and say I like him even if X is going to hate him for being a river/Riber player and insist we go with Insua (who i like too). But hey you know me I insist on getting a argentine left back :D

    I was hesitating to ask because of the River thing. :D
