Thanks. Is he more of a Wanyama replacement, that will sit in front of the back four, or is it a case that Romeu will move there and he'll play a more advanced role?

He looked amazing and had a bit of everything as a 18 year old but has kinda stagnated the last couple of years. Played #10 for the Danish under 21 and was classes above everyone else. Big guy, but much more of a box-to-box type than a holding midfielder. Maybe stamina is an issue if you want him to play twice a week though.

Prob more considering he's English + buying from Leeds. I mean they are talking £50m for Stones right now, Rio was already elite when he moved to United. Stones can't even get ahead of Cahill or Smalling for England.

Saw some Atletico rumours yesterday too. I don't watch paint dry, unless LvG is directing, so haven't really seen him much. Isn't he supposed to be a pretty limited player though?

I still love the kid, but he really didn't become what everybody hoped he would become.

We bought Kimmich for €8.5M. LÖL at the naive English around here who don't think their clubs are getting milked for a tbtvditw premium.

I'm not sure why ze Germans think it bothers us that English clubs are getting more TV money and therefore paying a premium for players.

In 'Pep Confidential' Pierre EH is specifically mentioned as an uncut diamond, ie. Pep saw a great potential in him then fwiw. Hasnt lived up to the hype, agree, but hopefully consistently starting matches will help.

He played well back when Bayern bossed (but lost to, lol) City at the Etihad 10 v 11.

Gotze is another one that feels a bit Ploppy. I don't think he's better than Eriksen, and if we are going to bring any type of AM in it should be someone who can offer width + pace.

But then £20m for him or £40m for Mane? Hmm......

Well with brexit I'm sure these dirty euros aren't going to have the opportunity to take yer jerbs, so we may have an isolated lolengland markt.

Yeah if we can sign him we'd be dumb not to. But he is surely on massive wages so we can't and we won't.

We paid 35. He could get a hell of a lot more expensive than that through bonuses, though, and I sincerely hope he will. On the other hand, we won't pay Benfica a dime more than what we already did if Renato turns out to be ****e.

Haven't seen a single Inter game last season and have no idea about him really. He's 23 and reportedly worth a lot so why not a 40M punt when you can ball out of control.

If it's easily within your budget I wouldn't set a max price for the player if he's going to be a guaranteed starter (which Pogba is).

I mean if you guys have the money then just do it - Neymar is not walking through that door. Neither is Suarez or Messi.

Most of the great strikers are a little older than that perfect age range to amortize the transfer fee anyway.

Even if you got Lewandowski or Higuain you wouldn't expect them to score 40.

In relative financial terms, it's probably no different to the VDV deal. I read somewhere Gotze was on £120k a week, and his options are Spurs and Dortmund.

I have no idea about the quality of Dortmund's shirts, but he may well find he's taking a paycut wherever he moves (unless it's Plop, obviously).

I mean, jesus, we were paying Crouch £70k a week....
