Marco Reus

[The Skipper 20,609]

Out of the AM's we have loaned out (e.g Piazon, Traore, Atsu, Moses & Hazard)...who do you think is most likely to make it?

In my opinion, if Traore can get a work permit, he's got the ability to be our 5th AM

Traore still has a lot to prove. I'm watching him fairly consistently in the Eredivisie this year though, let's see how he gets on.

Out of those I'd like to see Thorgan come in to challenge Oscar if he has a good year, because I see them as very similar players.

An AM set of Hazard, Reus, Schurrle, Oscar & T. Hazard would be amazing. Both Oscar and Thorgan are capable of playing out wide decently too.

SuperMonkey is right, nowadays football is so competitive even you are extremely successful you still have to make moves to improve the team EVERY SINGLE BIG WINDOW. Barca 10-11 success, decided buy but then still don't win again till now. Bayern, as successful as they are still going out to sign Lewandowski and Benatia when Mandzukic would have likely got them 20 goals in the league, good enough but for a better player it is an easy decision.

No need to do a Madrid and sign for the sake of signing but when we see a gap in the squad, no matter how small it is the opportunity is there and cannot be missed. For example Khedira next summer means we sell Mikel then so be it, Varane is available then no matter how good of a season Terry will have it is a must.

I think this all depends on the performance of Willian and Oscar this season. If they're both very good then even if he becomes available we will probably pass on him. But if Willian is lacklustre or Oscar plays anything like he did towards the back end of last season then I could see us shipping whichever one out and replacing them with Reus. We have spare money after our amazing transfer window and if one of the best players in the world becomes available you HAVE to consider making them a part of your team if you want to be the best.

I would take Reus and shift Willian tbh.

I wouldn't even have to think twice about it.

[Dy-lan 142]

It's sad to say, but id let Willian or Oscar go in a second if it meant bringing in Reus...He's one of my favorite players...next summer if Bayern dont get him I can see him getting snatched up by either Spanish giant.

[Joker10 946]

Huge if. Rooting for Willian though.

Huge if is right, i wonder some realize Willian is 26 not some 21 year old. People need to accept that he is what he is. A very good player but will never be a great finisher and always lack a great end product.

For me his best position is through the middle, always has played his best football in that role. But i hardly doubt he would get regular games there with us, with the options we have.

Huge fan of Reus and love to see him here, but i have a feeling Bayern will buy him next summer to replace Ribary.

Apart from world class ability, his haircut is one of the coolest, imo.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

If he's available, we have to go for him. As much as I rate Schurrle and Willian he is a cut above both of them and I would have no issue with us selling either of those players for £20+ million and bringing in Reus.

We have the right kind of squad now to never have to make 5-6 big transfers a summer. One or two transfers in and out every summer should be the plan moving forward. Look at how much work we've done to reach this point and look at how mad Man Utd's spending has been this calendar year.

One thing I do want to see us do is continue buying promising talent between 18-21 and loaning them out.

Never? in 5-6 years we will have to start rebuild again, football is a cycle. Not even the likes of Fabregas/Costa will go into their late 30s like Drogba and Lampard. Yep I know 1-2, but those 1-2 have to be about players like Reus and not just signing someone like Van Ginkel for squad depth.

This. Extremely hard to replicate as well. I love Marco Reus.

We shouldn't have to make wholesale changes every summer with the squad we have now, just one or two quality additions every now and again. If we go about our business smartly from now on we won't need to do what Man Utd have done this summer.

We have a good mix of young talent and experienced players, almost a perfect balance.

A top-class German talent playing for Dortmund...of course he's going to Bayern.

I'd still love him here but as a right-winger in place of Willian. You're spot on with what you say about Willian. When one of his biggest strengths is that he has a decent song about him, then you're probably not going to find it hard to replace him.

Mourinho will upgrade if necessary.

Remember Mourinho first season with Maka?

Most people back then would have said why you need Essien when you got Maka?

And later we realize why it was such a good signing.

So, as long as it's a target that can upgrade us and we can get him we will go for him.

Reus would be an amazing upgrade but as some said he has Bayern writing all over it.

I believe we more chances of signing Pogba then this bloke.

Why is Reus considered a future Bayern player? Just cause he's German? I highly doubt he goes to Bayern, Dortmund would rather sell him to anyone else.
