Mats Hummels

[Viper22 2,418]

The only CBs that I would personally be ok with us signing if (and only if) Terry retires at the end of the season are Varane, Marquinhos, Benatia or Hummels.

The first 3 wouldn't be available so Hummels is the only other option. And that's if Terry retires at the end of the year and if the price isn't stupid (<30M).

If we could get Hummels though it would be a coup signing. He's far better than people give him credit for; my brother is a BVB fan and thinks that Hummels is by far the 2nd best player Dortmund have (behind Reus) and it is Weidenfeller making these mistakes not Hummels.

For ~25M he would be a great signing so we could have Cahill/Hummels starting with Zouma and Kalas fighting to replace Cahill when they become better than him. That's a brilliant CB situation to have.

But if we can't get any of the 4 I mentioned earlier then i'd rather recall Kalas and have Cahill, Zouma, Kalas and Ivan as our 4 CBs for a few years, then deal with the problem down the line.

Of course this is all assuming JT retires at the end of the season, he's still looking like the best CB in England atm so no reason he can't keep going if both him and Mou think he's able..

I doubt JT will retire at the end of the season. On current form, he can easily continue for another couple of years.

Manchester United to make January bid for Dortmund’s Mats Hummels

I'm actually starting to feel bad for united fans, now...

[Mechromancer 262]

Why? They have awesome players. And with the new fair play rules, they have a nice advantage. Maybe United can dominate in two or three years.

I am going to say this once. He is a handsome bastard and I hate him for it.

[LAM09 7,043]

Looks like he's off to United.

How long can United to spend record amounts before it bites them in the ass?

It's already happening but they are too dumb to realise. LOl

Fuck this may give Dortmund some funds to prevent them from selling reus to us

It won't. Reus is being sold regardless.

reus is not being sold to generate funds, he is being sold to prevent him from going directly to bayern. bvb have been bitten once by lewa, they dont want to repeat the same mistake with reus.

Hopefully, if they refuse to sell reus, they use the Hummels money to increase reus pay and extended the contract rather than letting him go to another club that is not Chelsea

[Special Juan 28,133]

United are right now in a complete mess, hence the pressing of the panic button.

Seems more like one of those random rumours floating around. Since United have a defensive crisis, they're going to be linked with a fair bit of defenders.

What interests me in that article is potential interest from Barcelona. They need a good central defender and if they buy him, they'll probably sell Pique.
