Thanks, but I also think there was another interview before that which didn't reveal the name. The Caf was arguing whether it was Villa or Ozil, but then came the interview you linked which proved it was actually Villa.
Nuri Sahin
- Thread starter SiYuan
- Start date
It didn't prove dickshite. It was all just stuff SAF decided to tell the media.
The line Fergie had first used was "the player never wanted to leave his country"
And then he said we were looking at David Villa.
So either he is the one player we wanted, or Fergie lied from the start

They need two defensive midfielders in Alonso and Diarra/Khedira to play every game because their attackers are too attack minded and hence the defensive midfielders play a major role in their team.
Sahin can do almost everything Khedeira does defensively and is superior going forward.
Khedeira does have the physical presence that Sahin can never provide and Mou does prefer some big MF's imo.
I haven't watched enough of Sahin to become a fan, but 6m would be a steal imo.

We won't get Sahin for 6 million, not a chance.
Fergie Fergie Sahin him up!
Friend of mine is a massive Dortmund fan - he's convinced Sahin will go to Real, and for £6m because that's the buyout clause in his contract. Apparently Dortmund are trying to agree a new contract with Sahin (with a higher buyout) but right now £6m is the price.
Well, that'd be a complete bargain, 2 million less than Bebe?!
Well isn't Sahin out for the season with a knee injury?
What is the opinion on this guy?
Real after another bargain after they got Ozil for peanuts.

My opinion of the guy is he is the bees knees.
Apparently this buy-out clause does not exist - one local paper reported it.
However, it looks very likely that he will leave Dortmund in the summer - either to Real or, another contender, Inter Milan.
To make things worse for him: he is out for the season with a knee injury.
If Real buy him Real will have two of the most talented young midfielders in the world in Ozil and Sahin.
Media reporting that Sahin is now close to agreeing a new deal with Dortmund.
Borussia's fans unveiled a banner on Sunday - at the end of their side's 3-0 victory over Freiburg - which said ''With Nuri into the Champions' League''. When asked about it, he just smiled and replied: ''Our fans know how I have decided.''

are they home and dry (relatively speaking of course) in the bundesliga? They have something like a 7 pt lead?
They were at one point doing everything they could to blow that lead.... It's come under question recently but they'll hold on.... They had an 18 point lead at one point... But going that far ahead too early can actually harm you more than benefit..
8 points ahead of Leverkusen with 4 games to go.
Leverkusen getting thrashed at Munich really ended any outside chance they might have had.
I just think Sahin would be the perfect signing for us. He can take free kicks, corners, and is a creative force from midfield, who can also chip in with a few goals. Did he ever sign that new deal? Doesn't look promising for us to sign him.
You forget that his defense is another great asset...
He has the potential to be a lot better than Carrick imo.
Also he is only his early 20's and Carrick was still a bench warmer for WestHam during those days.
Aston Villa
Wish it was, SAF on alert,
Gotze + Neuer + Sahin... Lovely trio.

Marca claim he's Madrid bound. They always do.
Shame, I think he was a better fit for us than the ongoing Sneijder drama.
Looks a good player, if Madrid want him then to Madrid he will go
They won't need Ronaldo then, will they? Maybe we could sniff around...
Daily Fail says he's off to Real for 8 mill, poor Villa
£8M? fecking hell, just like the way they stole Ozil last summer, amazing.
If we spent 7 fecking million on Bebe, then I think it is totally worth spending 8m on Sahin.
A snood? That gets my "pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttt of the day."
Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttt.
Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttt.
madrid will out gun us on wages if we try to go for any player they are interested in.
khedira, ozil, now sahin...they are raiding the bundesliga on the cheap in regards to fees, but will be paying quite a wedge on wages.
that said, where does sahin play? khedira's done pretty well. not a chance they drop alonso.
There's a space for him in the squad but i'd imagine sahin would want to go where he'd be a first XI player guaranteed.

He is good enough to bench Khedeira. He is also the kind of player who can play the most attacking role in the 3DM tactic Mourinho has liked employing vs Barca.
Young, ugly and supposedly affordable. That's it, we're signing him
His agent has just denied that a deal is already done - it looks as though Sahin's representatives are trying to speak to Dortmund first before going into negotiations with the Spanish club.
I really think that Sahin is capable and if not maybe even better suited than Carrick is, not that at this moment Sahin is already better than Carrick but I definitely see more potential as Sahin has more pace, has better dribbling skills and really looks up to it imo.
If we got Carrick for a supposed fee of around 16-18m surely Sahin at around 8m would look like a steal ?
not that the muppet in me really thinks Sahin has what it takes, I have the same feeling like I did for hernandez, he'll have an instant impact to our next season if we buy him.

Yeah, doesn't work like that though, does it?
