EDIT: I wouldn't mind taking Vidal for a few seasons if Goretzka is going to replace him.

Such a fecking relief that Liverpool won't get him.
Damn, the way Bayern gets away with top signings is incredible. No wonder their spending is so low
Exactly my feeling. Well in Bayern.
"How well Bayern are run".
I think it's pretty grim really. These players aren't running down their contracts and signing for free by coincidence, they'll have agreements with Bayern a long while ago and will profit from a healthy signing on bonus no doubt but to hell with every other team in that league.
Isn't just with Bayern. Matip joined Liverpool on a free and Kolasinac joined Arsenal on a free - both from same team Goretzka is leaving.
No real surprise there at all, Bayern will always be at the front of the queue for the best players in Germany.
Thank god for that. I was afraid we'd let another one just leave for the Prem.
For sure. That would be a mistake.
Teams need to stay clear of Vidal
Should sign him and ask Pirlo to reconsider his retirement. Can reunite the boys again.
Who else has just left for the Prem that Bayern would want?
Sane is probably a big one.
A great tapping up system.
They're tight wads so go in big time when a bargain comes up.
Definitely, they identify players and tell them to wind down their contracts. A great strategy with no downside, even if they get caught it will just be a small fine while Lewondski will cost around £100 million.
They’re the wealthiest team in Germany by some distance. It’d be like us without City, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. We’d be able to hoover up all the best players at the other clubs. It’s the same with PSG.
Sane is a good call, certainly wioth Ribery getting on.
True, but what's stopping the players they tell to run down their contracts (if they are) from signing with the highest bidder?
@Utdstar01 it certainly seems that way, but I don't understand why players would stay on their original salary (Goretzka hasn't signed a new contract since moving to Schalke) for 5 years! And at the end of it they may not reach their potential so won't get that move to Bayern in the end of it all, just seems a very big risk for someone like Goretzka.
Lewandowksi on the other hand was a little more clear cut, established player scoring goals for fun for one of the best teams in Europe at the time, and was itching for a move the year previous, but it was Dortmund who rejected any sort of fee.
Kolisinac and Matip left Schalke on free transfers as well.
That was one painful summer thread that year
Oh yeah, I still have kinda fond memories of us all watching clips from Chilevision that were posted in the early hours, with different posters trying to translaste any drops of info.
True. He might struggle to get in the first eleven. Guessing he wants to stay in Germany.
Think that's more likely the case here, if say you were playing for Everton with a year left on your contract and United were the only top club in your country (you're English) would you go abroad to any other club but United?
It's quoting the article from Richardson in the Mirror, but I'm not sure about his reliability either.
Would love this signing more than anyone at the moment, but while United are "eyeing him up" he probably wll be paraded in a City shirt by the end of it.
Wasn't it Dybala who was slagging off English football a year or so ago. Sounds like he has his sights set on La Liga.
As predicted. Nothing new to see here. Moving on...
Mirror is tier 3 or above according to MU reddit, So nothing remotely concrete.
Bayern is able to get a large number of good players on free's or via the release clause.
I’ve been checking since midnight hoping for some confirmed transfers by Utd. I guess this will be another annoyingly quiet window
