Goretzka.. Signed for Bayern..

[juniormember]

The Firm are staying quiet on this one.

Let’s just hope it’s because they’re busy relocating their offices after the windfall they got from their NDA.

Christian Falk (I think a journo of Bild) is quoted as saying he's decided to join Bayern.

A little bit of me just died.

Never in doubt.

Well that's what hope does to you.

 

[Hansern]

He's a journo from SportsBild. He's the one who claimed he had signed in December as well, and that wasnt true.

It's whats the most likely outcome mind....

 

[doctor_mac]

Not over until it is over. He's a Bayern stooge, and I think he made a similar claim in December.

 

[doctor_mac]

Ahh, beaten to it. Hansern, you quick-fingered fiend.

 

[Insignificance]

Your Norwegian is a little off. We call an enemy for "Fiende" and not "Fiend". 😉

James Pearce here to spoil the party as usual

Booo

 

[reuque]

Won't believe it till the Firm say so...

[Zlate]

Well that’s just fucking shit

 

[MomoWASright]

It’s OFF! As expected really.

 

[Hansern]

Yes, it was sadly.

 

[Judge Jules]

True, but it was worth the attempt. We do need another player of that type in CM and Goretzka's at the kind of level we're now looking for. On we go.

 

[Hansern]

Puts to bed the whole debate that it cant be announced until May

 

[Judge Jules]

I like the fact that at least that presser refers to him signing "despite notable competition from abroad".

 

[Modo]

I think we pushed hard to get Goretzka partly because we don't have any money left to buy a good midfielder.
Really hope we start culling the squad in the summer and manage to get enough cash to buy a top class midfielder and keeper.

Don't have any money? Please don't make me laugh. The downpayment on Coutinho alone means we're sitting with a £100m in the bank and even if you take into the consideration the Van Dijk purchase which wouldn't have been all up front it still leaves us sitting pretty with a cash like to go get someone if needed.

Klopp already said we have the coutinho money to spend if needed. We wanted him because he's a very good player.

 

[Modo]

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Glen C]

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it.

Klopp has no reason to lie about it. I'm sure we'll see more signings in the summer

 

[dantes]

Grujic coming back will be like a new signing.

 

[Insignificance]

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it.

So the "seeing is believing" campaign is giving results?

 

[Holle]

Unambitious twat.

 

[moron]

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it.

So true - they keep saying we got the money...if there was any truth in any of this then you would expect us to re-invest that money straight away on a lemar or a mahrez. Otherwise it makes a mockery of the stories regarding trying to convince Cuntinho to stay. Because to me it means we needed that money to fund vvd and keita and the money for salah and ox was really from the expected CL revenue plus other revenue.

My thinking as well.

 

[Judge Jules]

Or maybe we're just not panicking but are going after players we really want, rather than the latest "flavours of the month"?
