Something something war chest. Something something showing ambition. Something something preparing a bid. Something some Bayern reject declares self lifelong Liverpool supporter.
And so on. ...
And so on. ...
Something something Chelsea swoop in
I think the reason I can imagine us signing him is I can imagine him crying after losing a final with us.
I always think of dead pets when I want to distract from other unpleasant thoughts.
Works for me.
I have to believe that Klopp has still Gotze inside track
lets face it, it was never on.
Nope, not according to the journos
I hope they're right, but I'm betting he'll be a Juventus player next year.
Kitchen sink has been thrown.
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892...iverpool-throw-the-kitchen-sink-at-gotze-dealThe Reds have gone above and beyond in their pursuit of the Bayern Munich attacker, but the 23-year-old is yet to offer them assurances over his future
Liverpool believe they have done all they possibly can to persuade Mario Gotze to opt for Anfield as his next destination, but Goal can reveal the player is yet to make a commitment on his future.
Jurgen Klopp has led a passionate push to convince the 23-year-old he can resurrect his career on Merseyside, with Fenway Sports Group backing the manager financially as well as with an all-out pitch to the Germany international.
“Liverpool have done absolutely everything in their power to make Gotze happen, throwing the kitchen sink at it,” a source close to negotiations said.
“If the deal doesn’t happen, it won’t be because of a lack of effort from them, but because the player decided to go elsewhere.
"They won't get beat in terms of a bid or a package as they're prepared to do whatever it takes to land him. He is taking a long time over giving them an answer though.”
The Reds were confident of securing the Bayern Munich attacker, but there is concern that he has not offered them any assurances as of yet.
There is a feeling that perhaps Gotze was waiting on the result of the Europa League final before making a decision, with the World Cup winner keen on playing continental football.
Liverpool suffered a 3-1 defeat to Sevilla and will be restricted to domestic action next season after missing out on a place in the Champions League group stages.
If the five-time Bundesliga winner does spurn Liverpool on that basis, it would not worry Klopp who has previously stated he is not interested in players that are only concerned about how the club can help them rather than how they can assist the team. "It is about pushing the train, not jumping on a running train. That is what we need here,” he said.
“If somebody says: ‘But you don’t play Champions League next year’, then goodbye and thank you, have fun next year wherever you will be. We will find players or we have players already that will go our way.”
Gotze’s former club Borussia Dortmund as well as Juventus have both also registered interest in rejuvenating his talent, with Germany manager Joachim Low advising the player to sign for “a coach who wants to have him in his team.”
Gotze was his supreme best under Klopp at the Westfalenstadion, and the 48-year-old admitted it “was like a heart attack” when he departed after four seasons to join Bayern.
It was the Reds boss who promoted the 2011 Golden Boy from BVB’s youth academy to the first team in 2009, and built him up as one of their core players.
Together they lifted two titles, a DFB-Pokal as well as finished runners-up in the 2012-13 Champions League.
Liverpool are hoping Gotze will give them encouragement soon, but will work on alternate targets in the interim.
we'll get him.
Apparently he's broken a rib and will miss the final tomorrow, I wonder if that'll rule him out of the Euros? I hope not because I look forward to watching him play, but if he doesn't make it, maybe we'll have less competition for his signature and can tie this up sooner
If he's broken a rib, i don't want him. I am terrified if we sign him we will in effect sign somebody who will spend large chunks of the season recovering from injury. There must be other alternatives?
I already don't want him. It's pretty darn clear that he's not keen, and regards the possibility of coming here as sloppy seconds at best.
It's about friggin time we put attitude over talent first. Sick and tired of prima donnas who think they can do whatever they want just cos they have talent.
And here's where Ferguson was so successful, loathe him or not. He didn't care if you were a Keane, Beckham or a Stam. Team first, individual second.

Obviously you want attitude PLUS talent. Duh.
Does it have to be an either or? Clearly we need players with both.
You dont want him because he broke a rib?
Rib-breakers are cunts. Everybody kno' dat.
How's it pretty darn clear? You only know speculation of what the press are feeding, who probably know fuck all. Unless you are within negotiations or know someone who is, don't come out with rubbish stating he's not keen.
I reckon there's a few agents hiding in here.
Arn's probably one of the mad ones.

We've been after him for months now and the leaks linking him with other clubs still keep coming. If he wanted to be here he'd have instructed his agent to make sure that stopped happening. It's the Alexis Sanchez situation all over again. But keep your head stuffed in the sand if you really want to.
Not even close to be the Alexis Sanchez situation all over again. The links keep coming because Bayern want as much money as possible. IMO it looks like Götze have said that he want to join us and no else but we haven't offered Bayern the best deal.
Löwe is desperate to make the deal happen before the Euro2016 so he is also now getting tired of Bayern and want the deal done as soon as possible. He don't want Götze to be distracted by the situation during the Euro2016.
That is my take on it.
I'm not 100% sure he'll come here or won't come here, but to suggest he doesn't want to come here is ludicrous. You don't know him or anyone near a potential deal, all you know is the rubbish the press feed. They still have a cup final to play, he's injured, we just finished a cup final, there is heaps of reasons as to why he hasn't signed. As to why he's being linked with heaps of clubs, could it possibly be Bayern is trying to get other teams interested to drive up his price considering he's near the end of his contract.
Just calm yourself down, don't talk rubbish when you don't know why a deal hasn't been done yet.
