If they're nervous about his back trouble then we should be too.
From what the German newbie poster said, seems like his condition is completely unpredictable. He could play till his 30s without major problems, or he could suffer a severe relapse and that'll be the end of his career. It's a huge bet to take. High risk but high payoff? I suspect United will insert a boatload of performance related clauses into his contract.Absolutely. On the other hand if we can get a deal at the right price then maybe we'd take the risk. Whereas if he stays in Dortmund for another year and proves his back is OK, then all the usual suspects will be in the frame for a free transfer.
Would dortmund sell him for that if they thought he would recoverI'm all for this gamble at that price.
Sure, a lot of money but Gündogan is a potential top three midfield player in the world if he recovers.
Would dortmund sell him for that if they thought he would recover that being sait it was in the star so its probably not true
Fair enough...He's only got a year to run on his contract.
Not sure about this.. .
Could be a Van Nistelrooy or a Hargreaves/Aquilani
I'd pass on him if we aren't guaranteed a fit and able player
Is he a starter in the Germany national team?
Unlike Hargreaves, he's still young and potentially one of the best midfielders on the planet.Do not want, got Hargreaves written all over him
No one has.

I thought Gundogan had said that his bsck troubles aren't as bad as being made out and that it's just inflammation that hasn't cleared up?
Ofcourse he'd say that? I dont know how bad it is and whether its something he might have to deal with all the time but its obvious what his comments will be on the issue.
Why does he have to say that? Because he wants big clubs to be interested? Anyone that is interested in buying him will find out the full extent of his injury anyway.

If it wasn't for injuries, Hargreaves would have gone down as one of the greatest Canadian/English centre/right midfielders who can play at right back that played in the Bundesliga and Premier League that we were ever likely to see.
Yeah because there plenty of competitors for that award
Well done fella.
I reckon that he still wins the award. I mean how many Canadian/English centre/right midfielders who can play at right back that played in the Bundesliga and Premier League there are in football history?
Well done fella.
Because it's worth millions of pounds to him.
If you were in a position where you could be forced to retire and lose all future lucrative earnings or poker face and earn a big contract and let the insurance companies worry about it what would you do?
Not really. Things like these pass by in a medical, dont think one can be sure its a permanent problem. Considering what its worth to him, he'l always say what he did.
You are assuming Gundogan would have given them permission to do this then?After its been splashed across all the newspapers that he may need to retire, I'm pretty sure any club with a bit of intelligence would look into his back injury and at least speak to doctors involved or read medical records etc.
Perhaps the papers were stretching the truth of his injuries to begin with. I'd say that's more likely than Gundogan trying to trick clubs into signing him when he's not even physically able to play.
