Leon Goretzka

[MessiDinho10]

It's fucked up we got Paulinho because this guy has the same profile.

 

[Butaan4barca]

The only way he will be considered by the board is if enough fans tweet about him. I am sure, the board wouldn't know he exists.

Yes, the reports are from May and noone reliable, like Kicker or so ever backed them up till they got squashed by Schalke and Goretzka themselves. He's better than Gomes and Paulinho so he'd only compete with Rakitic and Barca plays 50+ games a year.

And the most important thing is that Bosman ruling is forbidding him from agreeing to any sort of pre-contract with a new club until 1st January. All he can basically do is hold talks with a club (and only if Schalke allows that) and make a verbal promise that isn't actually legally binding and that doesn't forbid him from signing elsewhere in the end, if he prefers to do that. If you remember back then this is exactly what happened between Bayern and Arturo Vidal in 2011. Vidal had one year on his contract, told Bayern that he'll sit it out and join them for free, and then eventually joined Juventus instead for 12m€ because Leverkusen didn't want to sell and Arturo had a spontaneous change of plans when he heard that he can already sign a top club this year and must not wait for next year. Bayern was pissed about it in the end, but Vidal never signed anything that prevents him from doing what he did.

Bild is reliabre about Bayern, while Kicker is reliabre about Dortmund, 2 different cases. There is a guy in a Turkish forum, l think he is very close to BM board, he said that BM got him. Also one example doesn't mean there will many more cases like that. we can't know it.

let's wait and see.

ED linked many German players before with Barca, including Goretzka himself. They are not reliabre. To be honest, l'd not go for him and l'm not expecting us to go for him. just because having 4 players for one spot is way too much.

Rakitic starter, Gomis and Paulinho are back ups. above all, Barca needs a player like Rudy style. Jorginho would be nice. For İniesta role, l'd go for Hamsik or Eriksen.

Kicker is still more reliable for Bayern than BILD is. Kicker is generally reliable, BILD is hit and miss. And regardless of what's reliable or not, you still can't actually make pre contracts with players a year before, so it would be nothing but a verbal agreement that can be broken at any time without consequences except Hoeness being pissed.

l told you it was another lie from ED. Having 4 players for one position is way too much.

Rakitic earns so much so he will be a starter. Paulinho will be his back up. otherwise Barca wouldn't spend 40 m euros for him. Gomis won't leave too.

Barca should go for Hamsik or Eriksen along with Jorginho or Seri. l still think Seri is a must.

 

[Jombi]

Barca can't get hamsik or jorginho, they are going to help Napoli fight for the Serie A

Eriksen is impossible.

We will get Seri and Goretzka, Gomes will be sold

I still don't understand why Schalke would sell their player for free to a Bundesliga club when they can get money now . They are going to sell Benedikt Howedes most likely, so I can see them selling goretzka

I think Thomas Lemar could be very useful. Can play both LW and in Iniesta's position. Iniesta is his big idol and role model. We can afford him even after Dembele.

 

[Jombi]

Wenger said recently Monaco are refusing to sell Lemar, they don't want to lose all their players

For the right price, I think they will sell. The question is how far Wenger was willing to go to get him. Monaco already seem willing to sell Fabinho after selling 3 of their starters.

 

[Jombi]

Wenger on Lemar: "It’s dead because Monaco has closed the door definitely. They’re still on cases like Mbappe and Fabinho."

And arsenal bid €50 million and they rejected it. They also really don't need money

50m isnt much for someone like him. We should be willing to go 70-75m for him to get their response.

 

[Yannik]

Robert says he'll sign 1-2 players

Probably Coutinho/Di Maria and this guy

I guess Goretzkas signing would also be dependend on wether he manages to get rid of Arda/Gomes and Rafinha this window.

 

[draconifire]

How good is he? What type of player is he?

 

[Yannik]

How good is he? What type of player is he?

Tall box to box mid, a jack of all trades so to say. Was Schalkes best player last season and Germanys best player during the Confed Cup.

 

[Truthist]

Has he got the Barca DNA though lol.

 

[Chainsaw]

Has he got the Barca DNA though lol.

Sign!

 

[BarçaBarça]

Signing him in the winter but getting him next summer would be the smart thing to do.
If he comes on a free transfer, it is not much of a risk.

 

[Aryagorn]

So we interested in signing him? Hope we are getting him in January!
