Six more signings and 135 million War Chest?

[Mystic]

We'd be foolish not to look at Reus, but we won't get him

100%, throw £45million and £150k at him.

I don't think that would be enough

Give them/him Aspas too.

 

[Richey]

Give them/him Aspas too.

They might consider that as bringing the total value of the offer down.

He has a release clause of 35 m euro!!!






(From next year)






(Rumoured)

Well if he has that clause then they might be of a mind to accept say 50m euros now.

LOL and there was I ranting at people for even mentioning the possibility. 🙄

 

[Lippy]

Even if we try for Reus I don't think it'll come off

 

[peterhague]

You'd think a player like him would just wait for Real or Barca to come for him.

It's good that (if) we're trying for something ambitious, though.

This is the club that Lewandowski go for nothing. I don't think a release clause next year will force them into something that isn't on their terms.

 

[Judge Jules]

@jay_78_ and Mark MC, its 100% bullshit, but the merge suggestion is enough.

*The* Mark Mc? He's no bullsh!t merchant.

Unless they think 'Jesus, that was really fucking stupid to let a £40m player go to our only rivals for nothing. Let's not do that again.'

Well, Real seem close to signing Kroos and Barca have just got you-know-who....

Not a chance.

Why should he leave Dortmund?

 

[Mystic]

Not a chance.

Why should he leave Dortmund?

Money, new challenge, because I really want him to come LFC.

 

[Skullflower]

offer him 300,000 a week

 

[ChastenedMUFC]

offer him 300,000 a week

I don't think you would have to offer that much but probably over 200k pw

 

[cloggypop]

You should play this as well. Make it 12 more signings though and 200m.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

About high time we get some Germans into our team.

 

[Ryan]

I hate the term "war chest".

Yesil!!!!!

Can!!!!!

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

German WORLD CUP WINNERS preferably !

 

[Mystic]

Ah, fine, scrap Reus then.

 

[SummerOnions]

I hate the term "war chest".

fucking knew it

 

[Silver Sean]

Not a chance.

Why should he leave Dortmund?

Because, sooner or later, everyone does.

 

[RolandG]

Agreed.

Tbh I'm starting to wonder if we should just throw Lille a few extra million for Origi and use him as Sturridge backup. He started at the World Cup, so surely he could handle that.

Then go for someone really special in the 'wide forward' role. And maybe sort a right back and GK too.

Someone like say Shaqiri?

 

[Holle]

Because, sooner or later, everyone does.

Well, erm, yes...I guess.

 

[peterhague]

Someone like say Shaqiri?

No, someone like Reus or Di Maria or maybe Lucas Moura. I rate Shaqiri a lot but it doesn't look like he's going to be expensive, so he's not one we'd have to sacrifice other priorities for.

Reus yes, Di Maria I'm sceptical. Not usre if he'll survive the hustle and bustle of the Premiership. Spain is soft. Shaqiri would offer us more physically, is cheaper and will be hungry to prove himself.

I was really just using him as an example of the calibre of signings we could go for in that position with ~£40m to play with. I couldn't be bothered thinking very hard. Here's a better one I genuinely believe in - Draxler.
