James Rodríguez

I hope he would be great for us but IMHO its a daft price to pay.

I would take a cab ride to north London with £60mill in a suitcase asnd stick it on vinegar tits desk and bring Sanchez over.

Put him on the RW with Eden and Costa and let them go bonkers.

If you think, that 'maybe', if everything works out for the best, there's a chance, that a player could be good/great for your team, you don't break your transfer record for him. You break transfer records for players CURRENTLY at the absolute top of their game, bossing every team they play against. Anything else than that approach when dealing with such large figures is lunacy. This figure would be enough to buy Messi in a couple years, even Ronaldo once he declines more; and once they do decline, they'll still be better than James at their old ages.

As I said he wouldn't fit our system at all, but under the right circumstances he has potential to be world class, like in Dortmund. He ripped the Bundesliga apart at a very young age, so he is hardly 'shit'. And yes he is better than overrated James Rodriguez.

No, he peaked too soon and regressed since then, like Shakiri. He has no business in a top team anymore, he will be in Everton or something like it in 2 years.

Better than James hahaha

If recent history is anything to go by, I would be wary of buying players from Dortmund. Most of their star players, who did well under Klopp, and left the club for the bigger teams but a number of them failed, failed so badly that they went back to Dortmund - Kagawa, Gotze, Sahin. Only Lewandowski has done alright. Hummels appears to be going down that route too and Mkhitaryan's form at United before he got injured suggests he might shine too, while the jury is still out on Gundogan.

There'll be exceptions. I expect Aubameyang & Dembele to shine when they move on.

Yes, there will be. Not denying that but we gotta keep in mind that they play certain kind of way and have players with specific skill set to make that work.

Fair point, but the great players learn to adapt.

Not now. Talented but still raw. Won't develop if he joins us now.

I agree with Jason. He still has several flaws in his game ATM, which is understandable at his age and only around a year of first team football under his belt. Give him two full seasons at Dortmund and then go all in for him.

buy and loan perhaps. Football market is nuts right now and just getting worse with monied clubs buying so many players. A young player like Ousmane might be a risk, but his potential is so HUGE, it's worth gambling on him ASAP. buy buy buy.

AS say Chelsea want to sign Rodriguez in January, but Real Madrid are keen on keeping him until summer

We can't splash 75m£ on someone that's won't 100% fit what we want as a winger.

That's premium price, and he isn't a winger. Just splash the cash on Dybala

we cant splash 75M on someone that won't 100% fit what we want as a winger... so sign Dybala? Dybala is a striker... same problem.

Carrasco (spelling probably dodgy) is a good option we could look at I feel. James would be more than good enough too I imagine, hes played on the wing for Madrid at times as a wide 10.

People still using the term "winger" doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.
