I know Ryder shot it down but it would be nice if we can get the Greek lad in as well. Would solidify the midfield and then Rafa can focus at sorting out a AM and striker.

Hope it is mind.

No offence KaKa mate but I think you imagined that Don't recall that at all.

Imagine if he comes here he'd be playing in midfield rather than at CB.

Marca are saying he's chosen us over Bilbao mind.

I almost want the 7m loan fee to be true, would be a win for Rafa as Ashley would never agree to that.

I'm just glad we are getting linked to midfielders again.

Not really the best use of him but maybe Spurs want him as a CM too? Can go more expensively in certain games and rest one of the more defensive minded players.

There's probably truth to it, I see no reason why there wouldn't be. Can't wait for Ryder to shoot it down with a big f***ing smirk on his face the weird b******.

Interesting to see where he goes, I honestly have a hard time seeing him start for anyone above Everton.

Eh? They are only ones to report it.

Bilbao aren't mugs either, I reckon this kid might be good based on absolutely fuck all.

Know nothing about him, but I'd like to think loaning someone from Dortmund can only be a good thing.

The kind of one that plays in midfield. Thought he was a striker. DM/CM apparently.

WAT.

The kind of one that plays in midfield.

Don't care tbh.

Are they actually reporting it based on their own information? Because I'm genuinely concerned, after yesterday's Sports Witness article that in their opinion the longer it goes the more likely our offer will be accepted. That they are just printing stories based off that and it was just an opinion piece, maybe I'm reading too much into it but I want to be true.

I really hope that the Samaris links are not just following up from that Sports Witness article from yesterday. Hopefully not.

Why do you say that? I think he'll either stay or have better offers. Fabregas recently said it's Moratta and Bats as the main strikers. We're not getting him. Would love it if we did he's a ridiculous prospect. Wouldn't pay attention to that, means nothing and players say stuff in pre season all the time.

Why do you say that?

Considering he's following from an Chronicle report, I imagine the Chelsea stuff is also from the Chronicle.

This is true mind, pre Guardiola it was all mostly foreign stars rather than home grown players. Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Marquez etc etc, of course they had the likes of Xavi and Puyol too but in my life time this is who they were before Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, Pedro etc etc.

Yes he was, the whole of Europe was after him. Specifically after he ruined Rio Ferdinand's ankles in the CL.
