Ppl don't want Pique? He'll be our best defender immediately, has tons of experience at the highest level (it indeed doesn't get higher), is still young, knows the club and has actually always respected us and said good stuff about us.
He is just a level below the very best defenders who we have no chance of getting. Not that I believe we'll get Pique either, but still who knows!
My eyes hurt everytime I read ppl mentionning Hummels. Even the BVB supporters have given up now and can't be bothered explaining anymore that Hummels isn't leaving them. And once he decides to try something else, Barca and Madrid will have at least as much a chance as we will, but that won't happen in the next few years anyway.
He loves Dortmund, Klopp made him one of the best, if not even the best defender in Europe, he has been winning trophies, just won the WC, Dortmund don't need to sell at all, really absolutely no reason for him to leave.
Godin might be more gettable than Hummels, but that doesn't mean he wants to come or leave Atletico.
And that's it. Which other top defender is available?
Plus considering LvG actually wanted the average and always injured Vermaelen, Pique should be a dream for him.
