Reus to us in the summer
For a moment I thought he signed another contract till 2019 due to the thread title.
Reus this summer?
With Klopp leaving Dortmund is he a viable target? - He signed a new contract till 2019 and is on good wages (£140k a week I think) and has no release clause anymore, however, if Dortmund received a bid of say £50-£60m surely that would be difficult to turn down - especially if they want to rebuild and wont have CL money next year.
And with no cl football and a potential wage rise perhaps Reus himself might be open to exploring options?
Would be an alternative to Bale who we seem to be linked to a lot and in my opinion a more versatile alternative who would cost less.
Any possibility - or am I clutching at straws?

I agree that Dortmund would bite your hand off if offered the kind of money you talk about there.....
it's a silly amount of money really especially after we overpaid on Di Maria
is it fair to say Reus is of a comparable level to Bale? If so it would take that kind of money to buy him as well

I think he is - admittedly I have seen less of him than I have of bale but I have seen enough to be very very impressed with him - and I think he would be a star in the premier league
Carrick (Schneiderlin)
Herrera (Gundogan) - Di Maria (Schweinsteiger)
Reus (Mata) - Rooney (van Persie) - Depay (Young/Janu)
Sign him up! There is room for Bale as well if he wants to come.Herrera (Gundogan) - Di Maria (Schweinsteiger)
Reus (Mata) - Rooney (van Persie) - Depay (Young/Janu)
IMO he is better than Bale. He offers so much more than Bale and is less restricted to a specific system
On paper he's definitely a better fit for our style of play compared to Bale. He's much nimbler and doesn't require much space to be effective.
However, he and Memphis are almost carbon copies. Both of them goalscoring wingers who almost always start from the left, cutting in. To put one of them on the right takes a few notches off their game and it wouldn't make sense to me to bring him in as competition for Memphis at this time.
Unless we were to transition into a sort of 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 with a supporting striker (both o them have played in similar roles) we could be better off getting a more specialised right winger/inside forward.
Awesome player though, and if there's an opening for us to get him and fit him in I'd be very happy.

I don't think there is a realistic chance that he's leaving them this summer.
He's not better than Bale. His team has been shit this year and he hasn't shone out. Bale would of and that is enough to show who is better talent wise. He is a very good player thought who amongst other talented players would do well. I.e. Madrid. But for what we need now Bale shits on him.
I love this guy, would be my favorite buy after Messaldo.
Put Reus in the 2014 Madrid team and he will shine even brighter. If your whole team plays as poor as never before, it is very hard to stand out. There is no chance Bale would have done so much better, you overrate him and he is very one dimensional
I think the chance of him leaving this season is slim to none and our chances of landing him are even slimmer.
Reus was injured for major of the season. I ain't judging who better than who but you only rate Bale on his Tottenham days, he barely shine out at Real Madrid. His first season was decent, still nowhere was their 2nd best player and his last season was a disaster both on & off the field.
Reus definitely heading to Barca or Real Madrid (or even Bayern) in a foreseeable future. I wouldn't be so sure about Bale future but if he keep playing like this, he'll be kicked out soon enough.
What?
All that purely speculative BS aside Reus was troubled by injuries all season, but when he was fit he was Dortmund's most important player. His numbers aren't even bad at all: 3 goals 1 assist in 340 CL minutes and 7 goals 5 assists in 1562 Buli minutes.
Looking at Bale's numbers they almost exclusively came from hammerings, there is no goal/assist from him in the knockout stages of CL and from what I remember he was pretty much invisible in most of those games.
Tbh I don't care at all which one of the two is 'better' but your view seems incredibly biased or misinformed.

Well I assume he should be there most important player he's the only one left. He's as important to them as Rooney is to us doesn't actually mean he's playing well. It's not biased I'm not Welsh, Bale is the better footballer and he has proved it however Reus is a good player I just think some are overrating his ability a tad. He won't be coming to Barca, Real and United and turn into a superstar.
Fixed.
He is leaving,just not to United.
Reus' final season at Gladbach was every bit as impressive as Bale's final season at Tottenham, if that's the proof you're talking about? Both kinda failed to make the next step after their move though, for totally different reasons and in very different teams. But in the end neither of them stepped up the way most people expected them to.
Didn't he make some pretty firm statements after signing his new contract, suggesting he would definitely stay at Dortmund?
yes - but lots of players make statements that change, especially when there wont be CL football, the manager has gone and your best players are being linked with moves away.
Sure, it's just that there seemed to be no reason to say the things he did if he wasn't sure about his future. At that time CL was already out of reach and he could've kept his comments more neutral. But I don't remember exactly what he said and how reliable those quotes were,.
Though I just saw this was discussed on the previous page, I'd have thought it was at least ten pages ago.
His buyout clause was really low at the time, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
That's what I mean, if he just signed a contract so Dortmund could get a bigger fee, why would he say things like 'Dortmund is my home and BVB is simply my club, I'm really looking forward to the future'. Followed by their DOF saying Marco knows there will be no CL football next year, but he intentionally choses for a future at Dortmund, etc.
More neutral comments would make more sense if he wasn't sure about the future. But of course in football everything can change within 24 hours.
Come on, that is as generic as "it has always been my dream to play for [insert club]", or "you never know what the future holds".
There have also been rumours of Barca signing players verbally Pogba,Reus etc till their ban expires.
I guess I just don't want the temptation, but on the other hand I do want it. It's just that my poor muppet heart couldn't take it
Such a talented player, though us signing him wouldn't really make sense.

I think the best career option for him would be to retire in Dortmund.
Cant believe this thread is at 50 pages long, there is zero chance of him wanting to sign for us.
Shouldn't be a problem then as we don't want him.
Today he was also quoted with something like: "I've thought a lot about my extension at the time and I still fully stand behind that decision" and a statement about challenging for titles again in the years to come. Of course this might be all lies, but I don't see any reason why he should do it so blatantly, especially after what happened to his buddy Götze.
And I don't see any reason why Dortmund should be willing to sell him, they could probably kiss goodbye Hummel's contract extension (which they supposedly are working on right now) and after a season such as this and after replacing Klopp with someone who probably does not have any international recognition at all it would be near impossible for them to find a halfway adequate replacement.
Well that kinda depends on what you define as the next step. Imo Reus improved a lot on his playmaking skills and technical ability/precision.
Bayern opted against buying Reus deeming him to be too injury prone. I think Reus and Bale are about the same level. Bale obviously has the insane long range shots and insane pace but Reus will get you just as many goals as Bale from the wing and is a more technical player.
I'd love to see us buy Reus as he is actually very gettable unlike Bale who will probably stay in Madrid and also I would prefer Reus to Di Maria because a German will always settle in much easier to a European cold climate in another country than a South American will. Hopefully Di Maria comes good but you worry of having another Veron situation is he stays where he looks just as bad in the second season as he did in the first

Exactly.
I agree that he improved some parts of his game but overall I don't think he surpassed the level he showed in his final year at Gladbach, certainly not in terms of impact and leadership.
Lots of chatter re: Liverpool making a bid.
And we're not linked to him becauseeeee....
And we're not linked to him becauseeeee....
We are well stocked now unless Di maria leaves....
This chatter is mostly coming from Liverpool fans screaming 'SIGN REUS' on twitter and facebook.
I'd actually be gutted if he went to Liverpool.
Could aim so much higher, and I just see Liverpool as a team slowly going backwards

He wouldnt be seen dead at liverpool. he can play for any club in the world. Barca are full, as are madrid. It would be us, Bayern, chelsea, arsenal and PSG.
I remember there being the same "chatter" last season before Liverpool ended up signing Balotelli. They won't be making a bid for Reus or signing him and you can quote me on that.
