Gundogan has only just signed a new deal with Dortmund, can't see anyone going for him unless he stays injury free all season.
His new deal was a one-year contract extension. His contract expires in 2016 now.
Why Barca can't sign Reus? Because of their transfer ban?
Yes.
Just curious...
What answer did you expect to this question??
Sadly yes. Although i do think there's a fair chance Reus will be at Bayern Munich next season.
Donno. It's not just the expansion but a comprehensive facelift : they're remodelling updating the exterior with night-lighting, renovating some director boxes, building a complex right next to the stadium and adding a roof apparently. Looks pretty cool :
He's much more of a box to box player at Roma, with Pjanic sitting deep. I think that's his role long term because of his power and presence. Decent left boot on him too.
Granted Herrera and Gundogan are a bit more mobile and less physical though.
This, Thiago and Vermaelen are 3 transfers I'm glad we didn't complete. All 3 are crocked right now and it doesn't look to get any better for any of them.
I wasn't aware that those players would never play again.
I assume you are talking about the comment from Athletico Madrid's CEO? That is hardly confirmation. Confirmation would have been if Dortmund had announced that they had received and rejected our offer. Also he said that Reus turned us down, not Dortmund. If he is telling the truth (which I doubt he is) then Dortmund must have accepted our offer.
Put wheels on the back of that Real stadium and it will pretty much be a robotic lawn mover. Will be called the Bosch stadium from now on.
I think it's inevitable that we will try for Strootman but there's nothing much in that article related to us going for Reus, just the basic fact he has a buyout clause. We need to give up on Hummels and keep an eye on Varane's contract situation at Real.
Gundgoan and Vidal were my muppet choices to be our new Scholes and Keane, but if Gundogan has signed a new deal I guess that wont be happening along with Vidal's knee ruling him out.
Gundogan's contract is only a year deal.
Ah, still, he's gonna look a bit of a dick if he has a good season and then jets straight off after they stood by him.
Oh they will play again but they'll be consistently on the treatment table for their careers, which might be good if you have Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Martinez, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio as the other options but not when your next options are Anderson and Fellaini.
Have I missed something here?
Yes you did. Apparently Vidal's knee flared up and Thiago's return date is uncertain.
Pjanic is their main creative and attacking force pretty much, De Rossi is the holding midfielder with strootman or nainggolan being the box to box player. Strootman I feel like is more of a controlled player then other box to box mids, as in he doesn't charge all around the pitch but rather gets forward and back but is good positionally.
He most definitely does get around the pitch, he's an absolute live wire. I'm pretty sure van Gaal referred to him as 'all action' too. He isn't one for holding, though I do think he's capable of it. Even in his last season at PSV he was beside van Bommel who sat deep. A midfield three of him, Blind and Herrera would be awesome.
He does but I mean like he's not a box to box to the same extent as Vidal who will be everywhere all the time. Strootman is probably a bit more reserved then him going forward though that could be because he doesn't have as much license to get forward and score goals as Vidal does in Juve as he has pjanic next to him in Roma.
El loco Bielsa strikes again
Obviously we will be all over him, and i expect us to get him too. Roma will know that, eventually selling him to us for a high fee
The second time today he's made her do that
Bit of a strange one, he looked like he could be a top player after the 2010 World Cup.
Pep or Frank De Boer would be perfect for United post louis van Gaal. Would love Pep back at Barça one day.
No transfer news but quite interesting, always had the feeling RVN was more productive than Henry.
In the Champions League, Ruud is 0.77 goal ratio with Messi just ahead of him at 0.78.
Those are always a tad misleading imo. How many games did Henry play as a winger?
Ronaldo spent a years as an out and out winger. In 06/07 he moved further forward after RvN left. How many games did he play in a midfield 4? Same with Messi to an extent, but he moved centrally much earlier in his career, after Eto'o left.

Very impressive, but I bet you that his number is going to drop a bit after a few years when he is closer to retirement. If you got someone like Raul when he was 26 or RVN just after he left Untied they would probably be a fair bit higher.
Falcao has 220 goals in 356 matches, he should be on that list right?
Maybe its a certain number of games played to qualify?
Those also include international appearances for some of them, not sure if it is for all of them. Probably isn't entirely true. Anyways, those is just a select group of players, Rooney has a 0.45 ratio so he would be in that.
