balanta can still turn out to be the real deal, but hes not playing lately so cant really talk about him

perhaps but for me he takes too many risks defensively which he has gotten away with, something I think he'll get found out if he moved to europe

Osvaldo close to Juve according to Sky. Yesterday he also had a dinner with Tevez.

Inter veto his move..

Firmino looks like another celebrity but I can't put my finger on it.

OK, I have free today and I really cant wait for the Bundesliga to restart tonight..even too excited to move my ass to the :vinny:

I really dont want Firmino to leave Bundesliga, as I rate him very highly. I want Bayern to sign him. I dont want Reus I want Firmino. If not Bayern, then I hope Dortmund or Wolfsburg, but their chances prob not very high. He is just great and the performances he has shown the last 2 years just have been impressive. Hoffenheim did a great job to discover and develop him and is in general a fantastic club for young players..Firmino, Volland and Süle.

Any chance of this happening without them selling De Bruyne? Seems like it'd be tough financially and then they'd have to play 2 of Schurrle, De Bruyne and Firmino outside of their preferred position.

the problem is not so much financially as it would be hard to convince him to go there. i think he wants a bigger club after leaving Hoffenheim

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.

Assuming De Bruyne would end up at Bayern, as AMC, then were would that leave Gotze and Thiago?

 

[alexjuventino]

Wasnt Tiago being used as a deep lying playmaker?

Wolfsburg make no sense, cos they have De Bruyne..I just mentioned them as the only club besides Bayern and Dortmund, who could in theory afford him. In reality its just Bayern and Dortmund with chances, but Dortmund just being an outside bet and I still have no clue if Bayern have him on their list or not..they should have.

Draxler could be another candidate for them..the dream signing would prob be Koke, but almost zero chance I guess..maybe Dybala? Its not really easy to foresee the bayern transfers anymore, but as long as they sign bargains like Bernat, I m more than happy and confident.

Maybe a mod can move all this Bundesliga talk to the correct thread and we continue there.

They will complement each other and rotating like they did when Kroos was still there. Schweinsteiger not getting younger and Thiago has been injured forever. Bayern could use one more versatile midfielder.

The question is do they want a Ribery successor now or a versatile midfielder? So a player like Draxler or more a player like Firmino. I cannot answer.

I think they need a new winger more then a playmaker, Robben and Ribery aren't getting younger.

Seeing Cuadrado's transfer to Chlelsea, Juve should be all over Schurrle

He's going to Wolfsburg for 30 million

I want Ricardo Rodriguez as LB. In 2016 one get him for 25M as such is the buy-out-clause.

Yea maybe we should indeed put our 2016 money into a Tevez replacement.

But still, Agnelli needs to have a little talk with Johnny so he maybe cuts Lapo's drug'n'whores budget and gives it to us instead
