So now Real are getting investigated (or prob just catalan newspaper slinging shit) like Barca for signing under age players, does that mean this one's a go?
Marco Reus
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

If he does end up going to madrid I can see them letting go of Bale. Reus is a better player IMO, or more talented and creative but not as strong and fast (still a quick player though). Also on the whole they'd end up buying him for 20m, selling bale for like at least 80m, and they'd end up with a better player probably.
Don't think there's any chance of us bringing in Reus so I hope we take advantage of whenever he goes and buy some other class player in his position like Isco or bale.

Really hard to see how he will fit in at Madrid. Maybe because he is so cheap Real are just buying him to strengthen their squad (not that it's weak) and plan to use him as a back-up. I doubt Reus would agree to move their if that was the case though. More than likely Bale will leave. I would like us to go for him but no way should we pay £80 million for him. He will be surplus to requirements if Real make him available so we should pay £60 million tops.
Yeah I can see this too. Tbh though, if (and I mean a big if) Real sold Bale to us because they acquired Rues, I actually think Bale would be a better fit for us due to that pace and power.
El confidential and Mundo Deportivo say they can guarantee Reus will play for Real Madrid, according to that Rafael Hernandez fella.
Gareth Bale Gareth Bale running down the wing 
Excellent Reus to madrid then Bale to us.
Apart from Bale's monstrous transfer fee, this is excellent news for us.
Any chance of us getting Bale? one of him or Isco will certainly leave.
Strange move on Madrid's behalf, is he any better than Gareth? Surely one of Bale/Isco/James will make way.
He is at least at the same level, imo. And if they manage to sell Bale for those ridiculous sums written in the press lately and buy Reus for 25M would be a pretty good deal...
Can we all calm down a bit now?

Public quotes in football mean nothing.
No point in a goal scoring wide man joining Madrid.
He'll get off to a bright start then he'll be coached into passing to Ronaldo instead of taking a shot and end up moving elsewhere within 3 years ala Bale ( most likely)

Wouldn't want to see him moving to Real. Would be a waste of his talent with the attacking players already over there.
Who would move if Real sign him?
Bale, surely.
Logically, knowing Real, every goalkeeper on their books.
If they secured reus, and we offered them their money back for bale they would probably snap our hands off. That's a tidy profit from Madrids perspective. I don't think thy would try to hardball us into a bid any higher than what thy paid
Hard to see any other clubs even matching Bale's initial fee with FFP rules.
They would definately try.
Why would we give them their money back on Bale, if he becomes surplus to requirements and he is offered to us, his value drops dramatically.
We should just make it work Reus's while to come to us.
I quite like Isco though.

I'd snap your hand off for Isco.
Would they really have to sell anyone though? They could hypothetically play reus on the left, bale on the right with ronaldo and benzema as the strikers. Rodriguez and isco coming on and offering tactical options and rotation in cup games and such. Depends on how dedicated they all are to the club ofc. Jésé would surely be a goner though I suppose.
Possible but would become insanely congested. Doubt they bought Rodriguez for so high to have him as impact sub. I'm certain someone has to be let go if they sign another player. But then again it's Madrid, Perez does what he wants.
Why are peoplr thinking that Bale will leave if they sign Reus. They will have Ronaldo, Benzema, Reus, Bale, Rodriguez and Isco for 4 positions. They play ike 60 matches per season and rotation is needed.
Either Reus is available or Bale is available, either way a world class wide man will be available and we should go for them.
The Madrid gossip press say that Real Madrid have cooled down on Reus. Too many injuries and not an essential upgrade they say.
Impossible to sustain that level of rotation when the players are that good though, especially when you consider none other than Benzema are likely to play up front.
Signing Real's yearly surplus players is not a joke anymore.
Too good and too expensive to be rotation players - when the big days come they'll all want to be first XI. Plus they want to save rotation minutes for Jese and Odegaard (assuming he signs).
James is their newest toy, I don't think they'll bench him
They will use Ronaldo up front quite a lot IMO, his current style isn't far off a centre forward plus it should even further boost up his stats. I wouldn't be shocked if it was Benzema who had to pave way for Reus.
I thought Ancelotti is a huge admirer of Benzema.
Wouldn't be the first time they offloaded a player liked by manager. I think Ancelotti rated Di Maria too, didn't prevent them from letting him go.
Reus is a pointless signing for them, as good as he is, if they don't end up selling someone. If they got Reus for £25m and sold us Bale for £70m it would suddenly look like a terrific deal.
Yeah, but in terms of finances they don't need to offload anyone. As opposed to the Di Maria deal. And even if it looks like they don't need Reus, as cheap as his release clause is every big club has to be in for him. They currently got Ronaldo, Bale and Jese, who are natural in those wing-positions. Ronaldo and Jese could play as a striker, Reus and Bale could play as an attacking midfielder. It's not that much of a big fuss.
Of course they could manage it but I imagine he would be on pretty big wages and would want playing time, with Ronaldo and Bale around they will have to shuffle them around too much IMO. Jese and Isco are good enough back-ups to have.
They need Benzema to do the donkey work though, keep centerbacks busy, drag them out of position, do the hold-up play and allow all the attacking midfielders to play off him. Ronaldo is pretty much a central player now, but he's a free roaming second striker and I doubt he'd want to play Benzema's role in the team.
Also, isn't Benzema one of Perez' favourite toys? Even when Benzema was criticised a lot, his position at the club was never in question, so why should it be now, when he's performing incredibly well.
Benzema is a Pérez buy and Ancelotti loves him. If Reus goes to Real, one of the big stars is going to be unhappy.
This thread turns into another Real Madrid formation thread. In March, we should know a little bit more where this saga ends.
[For those who can't see integrated tweets: It is said that Reus announces his future in March.]

I'd imagine Dortmund will be out of qualification for a CL Spot in March, and he'll say he wants to leave for CL Football.
He's not staying there. Someone (Madrid) is going to activate that 25m release clause. How I'd love it to be us though.
