I live in hope
:D It's always helpful to have hope or faith. If Dortmund sign another attacking midfielder (or promote from the academy) there could be a chance but Dortmund's attacking back-up options right now are similarly stretched than United's.

I know its been said so many times but why the hell did we let him go, madness.
 
They bought him for £75m and he's been one of their best players. Rubbish rumour.
He's barely played this season has he? Then again, it doesn't look like Benitez will be there for long so maybe it's best for him to wait and see what the new manager thinks (by which time his agent will have won him a shiny new contract!)

Adnan is nowhere near the standard we need at the moment. He'd be competing with Jesse and Depay and not doing any better imo.
 
According to Mundo Deportivo, Pep wants Gündogan to follow him to Manchester City.
(I lost track how often Mundo Deportivo had reported negotiations, finalized deals and medicals of Gündogan in recent years ...)
 
Sunderland are first of the mark. With a bid accepted for Lamine Kone

Would certainly improve us - 22 years old, quick and with a good goalscoring-record.
You'd want more than that for a 35 million pound signing. Is he actually a gifted dribbler or knock and run?

He's definitely not just knock and run. But he isn't close control Hazard or Martial either. I would put him around Sadio Mane level of dribbling. Lazio are a counterattacking team so he's had to depend more on his raw pace. But I've seen him beat players from a standing position many times in games they were on top.
 
Hasn't he been playing primarially as an AM though?
2 footed and quick through the middle is exactly what we need IMO, go all out for Mane and Lukakau and we would have something to build on

That logic is a bit flawed as Mane's close control is probably better than Hazard's. Btw Berahino to Pool? Would be delighted with that. Would mean we are not in for that overrated averageness.
 
I can only imagine the meltdown if he went to City :lol:

i disagree. But what I have no doubt about is that, his dribbling is a lot better than everyone in our squad bar Martial. He's also far more explosive in terms of pace over 10 yards than everyone in our squad including Martial.
 
Makes hardly any sense with the attacking players City already have.
Yep. It would be a risk coming to us when he's developing so well, but going to City loaded with top attackers would make little sense.
 
If he's willing to move, which I doubt then we should be in for him.
 
Supposedly one of the brightest talents around, built well for this league and IS A RIGHT WINGER/FORWARD.

A no-brainer for us, really.
We've only been tenuously linked with him a few months back, hardly meltdown material though.
If City went out and bought Mane I could see a meltdown for example, not a young player we've barely been linked with

I'd prefer Sane to Mane personally. Looks potentially a top player whereas Mane maybe a step below. Of course the former has to improve lots but he's one of the best around in his age group, so I'd take him. We could do with both though.
