Wishlist Non Cup-tied players?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

There was only one destination.

1. Real didn't want him anymore.

2. PSG couldn't buy him because of FFP so Utd were the only interested club (able to afford him).

A lot of people bring up Utd's situation before but remember they wanted to buy a lot of quality players and failed to attract them.

Gundogan has options, Barca is one of them. And he can stay at Dortmund. Don't think he'd move in January.

Clever purchases and hidden gems will most likely be the way to go.

Tbh he was about to leave dortmund in summer but no club was ready to pay him 10m euro paycheck. Then he extended with bvb BUT only for two years to 2017.

I think there is HUGE chance of him moving if we (or another top club) bids 30m+ for him.

The only question is not will he leave but where. And barca if realy interested are one hell of a competition for us.

But its not impossible. If w

But its not impossible. If we are ready to break the bank, we will get him.

That said, I dont trust our board much. They would offer 40m for stones, but at same time say 20m is too much for gundogan.

if you are referring to me, i've never said that.

and who said a player brought in to boost CL chances, wouldn't count towards our future?

Because lets say we have a CB, CM and ST as ideal targets but all (or some) cant play in the UCL. Should we sign a different player just because they can play in the UCL?

I honestly think this would be a very bad strategy or the future since they might do a Fabregas/Costa AGAIN due to them not being our primary intention.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that onlyngoing for players that can play in the 2015-16Champions League is not how transfers should be handled. Just like I disagree we should splash on big signings to try to salvage a lost season.

Sissoko.

[LAM09 7,043]

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. We need a CF and he fits that January fold.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Sissoko.

I like him, he's a beast - but maybe he's spent too long at Newcastle, he seems to have regressed

To @Rmpr point - I agree, we should be looking at players for the future, not just stop-gaps. No matter who we sign it is an impossible task to win the UCL - it would take more luck than our previous time

If we can grab some decent players at a fair price that we need for the future (definitely to replace Ivanovic and Mikel) then we should, a decent CM (B2B) would also be nice, still would love Modric...

Oh well at least there's some positivity around here nice I like it - even I'm not moaning

Expensive shirt though mate like 'Dave'

That's why BA was so popular - cheap as chips

Unless we call him 'Paul' for short

I highly doubt that. A highly quality CM is hot property, especially in the PL. I also think he wanted to leave but not to just any club. I think he wanted to go to Barca (strong rumours at the time) but they couldn't buy him because of the ban. Recovering in a stable and known environment was a very smart move.

Douglas Costa recently said Chelsea wanted him but he chose Bayern/Guardiola. What is Chelsea supposed to do when a player doesn't want to join? We laughed at Spurs and Utd over Willian and Pedro. You win some, you lose some.

People also underrate how great it is to play for Dortmund. Playing in Westfalen must feel like a dream and you can make good money too.

Hi friend!

Yeah, Mario Gaspar is doing a good season in La Liga with Villarreal, even getting to play with the Spanish national team. I had not thought of him as a possible signing for us but thinking coldly Mario Gaspar could be an interesting option for us.

In addition he would be a cheaper option. But it is also true that the tempo in La Liga is very different than Premier League tempo.

Another interesting option that could also play Champions League.
