I dont see him leaving Dortmund for us right now. Jesus thats how bad things are for the biggest club in the world ha
You can't dismiss rumours like these either. Reus has been linked for awhile and there were solid reports that Zubi had him as their primary target to replace Alexis/Pedro, before Lucho got the coaching job and supposedly went all in for Suarez. I think it reflects several things, if true. That Lucho has far more autonomy than Tata (Lucho preferred Bravo to Navas and blocked the Luiz move, as well) and that the board are desperate to improve the sporting project.
From a board level, this still stings due to apparently stringing Reus along only to back out late which hasn't been the case with transfers for probably a decade. Another thing to despise about Rosell et al
The Kroos story is interesting because of Pep & Lucho, I think there's more to that rumour than idle gossip. It surprises me but I trust Pep's view of midfielders above anyone else
I can't help but suspect that this thread has only been resurrected because Sanchez has gone to Arsenal and it looks like di Maria is heading to PSG....
If we don't sign a wide player I'm not really that fussed. Januzaj is quality and between Nani, Mata, Kagawa, Welbeck, Valencia and Rooney I'm sure they can cover the other flank.
Saying that, with Sanchez, Di Maria and maybe Reus moving this summer we will look like fools if we pass up on them all and are weak on the wings next season.

Thus, we simply have to go in for him. It doesn't matter how much they want, we were willing to go to 47m for Di Maria, we could easily apply that fee to Reus and most likely get him.
Best time to go for him IMO. Barca just signed Suarez, Real Madrid are focused on James and PSG want Di Maria.
Next summer these teams would want their next star signing. And Man City will sniff about too.

His buyout clause comes into affect next summer though.
We'd have to pay really big to have a chance this summer.
Yeah and that's even worse. Because it means definitely every big club will sniff around. There's also a risk that Dortmund would give him a pay rise and remove the buyout during the season.
He fits the profile of the kind of player we need. I don't think he will come in.
Put £100 million on the table and then say "give us Hummels and Reus".
£50m each. They might accept that for one but £100m isn't adequate compensation for turning them into a midtable side.
I'd gladly see us pick up Vermaelen for peanuts and go big for Reus there was ever a chance. He's the perfect player for our left side, and if we could secure Vidal, I would gladly see us spend £70m/ £80m to get him this summer.
Once some dross is cleared that would perhaps reduce the financial burden, not to mention cutting the wage bill. If it really came down to it, I'd sacrifice Rooney in a heartbeat to raise the funds. A 20 goal wide man with speed is more needed to our attack than Rooney I'd say. Reus, Mata, Januzaj and Persie would be a great front 4.

I don't see us spending 200 million pounds this summer like some of you do.
Vidal and maybe 1/2 other cheaper and good signings hopefully.

With the buyout clause situation I do not think Dortmund sells him this summer.
As for Reus, Considering his contract situation i do wonder though would they entertain maybe Kagawa + good amount of Cash ?
I think they'd sell Reus more likely than Hummels from what i've read, but dunno.

When do teams ever really entertain these deals ?
He's not leaving this summer.
Surely Real or Barca will come in next summer with a ridiculous fee.
Buyout clause next summer means they don't even have to offer a ridiculous fee. We'll be well behind in the buyers queue for him next season. So might as well give it a go this season.
Then it will be a ridiculous salary to blow everyone else out of the water.
Staying at Dortmund has shown, though, that it's not all about money for him. So perhaps he'll want to stay in Germany, or even at Dortmund, as he came through their youth system of course.
Not really. He want CL football, and provided we get that, we have as good a chance as any of the others. Real have Ronaldo and Bale, Barca have Neymar and ratboy. All players who they spent a lot of cash on.
No, I think we will have more competition from our league rivals and Bayern maybe.
Klopp could easily build a brand new Dortmund side with £100. He'd plunder every gem from the lower Bundesliga leagues, as well as eastern european leagues and have them contending in no time at all.
He's good but not that good.
Regarding Reus, he's one of those that look cert to move to one of the 2 Spanish teams next year imo.
With Barca having bought Suarez, there is no way that they would be in for Reus this or next season. Madrid will simply not have room for him if they get James. If they don't get James they could challenge for him.
I doubt he would go to Bayern considering he has a lot of respect for BVB and knows what Bayern have done to them player-wise the past few years.
No one in Italy would be able to compete and he doesn't seem like a money grabber to go to PSG (who already would have Di Maria).
That leaves England or staying at Dortmund. In England, Arsenal have just bought Sanchez, have Ozil and seem to love Walcott but might be in for Reus. Chelsea have a million AMs but could still compete. City would be the main competitor for his sig realistically.
Logically, we stand a very good chance of getting him. It would be tricky though.

They would not sell their two best players in one window immediately after selling Lewandowski. Klopp could rebuild over time but the impact it'd have on fans and squad morale would be detrimental. That would be their three best players gone.
Not to mention the question of whether Reus/Hummels would actually want to go to United.
Madrid have Ronaldo/Bale for the wings, surely they won't sign a top player there?
Not to mention Jese looks a top talent if one of them gets injured and they still have Di Maria.
They didn't sell Lewandowski.
I agree with your post though, Reus would only leave this Summer if an insane bid came in for him. I might see Hummels leaving considering they have Subotic and Sokratis (who played very well last season). They've also spent a lot of money so far this Summer.
This coming from a club that likes to try and balance their books each year.

They didn't sell him but lost him, which is even worse to be fair. Sokratis was a top signing - another under the radar player they picked up, they do it brilliantly. We'll see how Immobile gets on over there as well. Adrian Ramos/Immobile are both good strikers but Lewandowski level? I don't know, but all Dortmund's signings seem to go right so I won't judge.
Soon to be replaced by James Rodriguez.
Have Barcelona dropped their interest in Cuadrado? Or was he just a backup in case Suarez deal went balls up?
I wouldn't be surprised if PSG went in for Reus next summer tbh. He'd replace Lavezzi who'd be 30.
Yup, you'd feel its now or never for him!
Agreed. And even it ain't big wages, the lure of Real/Barca will be huge.
Not sure, would he really fit their style at all? Can't see how they'd need him for anything other than a backup and even then they still have Pedro floating around who can play both sides.
PSG could be an option but I don't think Reus is the kind of player that'd want to go there. I think he'd prefer a club in a top league rather than a club like PSG/Monaco. They will probably replace Lavezzi though, who I don't rate too highly.
Reus--Cavani--L.Moura wouldn't be a shabby front 3, assuming Ibra will be getting on a bit by the time they sign him, although he shows little sign of slowing down. He could move on again as well, never seems to stick around.
Dortmund refused to sell Lewandowski to their rival club thus he's joined Bayern Munich at the end of his contract freely. Financially, BvB should sell Reus this summer for money sake, seriously, 35m for such a player like Reus is absolutely a steal. Next season when his buy-out clause becomes active, many clubs'll line up to get his sign, Unless BvB can convict him to sign new contract, I personally don't think it's good idea to keep him. But BvB let Lewandowski go for free just to send a message... so who knows but I hope Woody see this scenario and offer 50-60m pound for him, definitely worth it. Next season we won't have much chance when City,Bayern,RM, Barca join the fight.

It's hard to know a players character tbh. I thought Gotze would stick at Dortmund for several years and instead he goes and becomes a bit part player at Bayern. I rate Lavezzi, he's a good player imo, but replacing him with Reus is a no brainer.
City will probably go for him, Arsenal would certainly be interested. We'd have so pretty fierce competition for him imo even if we removed Barca/Real from the equation. feck, I bet Bayern would go for him if given the chance too.
They could try playing Reus down the middle, I would not put it past them. Also they do have a history of buying a top player every year. However, with James, they really would have no room for Reus.
Doubt Arsenal would get him. Sanchez was a top signing but Reus is different.
City probably favourites like you said if he did get sold. Are PSG in for Di Maria then? Would be a shame. I rate Moura, thought he should have made the Brazil squad. Who could go for him if he left? I'd love to fool myself in to thinking Spurs could get in there if his price has dropped significantly but I'm sure bigger clubs would be interested not to mention wages.
Sport and MD still think Barca are interested in Cuadrado. Though how they'd use him I don't know.
Wing back. It's where he started his career and he'd do well to replace the now old Alves as a top, top offensive threat who isn't up to much defensively.
