I don't think they would lose any sleep if they swapped the two.
I'd like to think that after the Summer, if we were to bid this kind of money for Koke, we're doing so in the knowledge he wants to come.
But they'll lose 40 million as well, if it was a straight swap it would make more sense, but a swap plus 40 million as well, Juventus would be laughing all the way to the bank.
Sign him in January and loan him back to Atletico is only way I can see the deal happening.
Or you know in the middle which is his proper position and the position we have nobody in pretty much. He can play wide but he plays like a wide midfielder, not a winger. He's definitely more suited to the middle.Where would he play? On the right I assume?

He'd be straight into the first 11 in Cleverleys position if he came here.....kind of obvious don't you think even if he plays in wider positions for Atletico in this moment
Not obvious at all given that we'd be buying him after a season where he's not played in the middle.
Can anyone give me one good reason why this guy would want to leave Atletico to join us?
Same for Gundogan
Because our club is one of the biggest in the world, able to win leagues and European cups rather often.
Atlético despite their nice run, will not win La Liga or the UCL. And Dortmund... well, you never know with them, but they are clearly not as good as previous years anymore, and several players will leave, so better to abandon the sinking ship now.
ps. if its money what they are after, then yeah... no idea.
Wasn't David De Gea from Athletico? If Koke does come to United, De Gea will be one of the main factors convincing the lad.

Apparently Bayern want him as well. They certainly need another midfielder.

Shouldn't but..Pretty sure they have World of Warcraft in Spain too.
I'd love to know what targets we have in mind for Jan.
