At age of 24 he got solid amount of time to make it plus that injury and one year left in contract should downgrade the price substantially.

I disagree Carrick screens as a DM better than Schneiderlin. Wanyama does as much for the Saints.
Who cares about wages seriously?? He wont be a big earner at the club!
We will have to disagree then.
I am of the opinion that Schneiderlin is a better cdm than carrick and is exactly what we need in the midfield.
The shareholders care for one, I'd imagine.
Really? Carrick who when fit transforms our team. Is prob the best deep lying playmaker in the PL (defo for me). Was at the heart of title and CL teams which got to several finals against Barca the greatest team ever perhaps but beat quality getting there. I disagree completely. Just listen to Alonso talking about carrick. He's pure rolls royce for that position.
Oh come off it add the wages of several fringe players and you have Gundogans wages. If we lose Nani thats prob most of it. Shareholders couldnt give a rats arse about an average wage earner at United!!
But if you had your mentality when it came to every salary negotiation then it quickly escalates. Player's demand wages based on what their peers are earning.
I get your point but its nit picking pal.
"Louis van Gaal has already secured the signing of Memphis Depay, and Dortmund general manager Zorc has hinted Gundogan could be Old Trafford's second arrival ahead of the summer window.
“We will have players leaving our club this summer," Zorc said. "There will be some action in the turn of next week.""
Gotta hand it to the "express", thats some stellar sports journalism right there. Not only is the quote not accurate (Zorc said that there will be activity in the coming weeks aka this transfer window not definitively next week), this quote was the answer towards the question if the squad is currently simply too big, which is undoubtly true. There will be quite a few departures like the squad player Milos Jojic, who is heavily linked with a move to Cologne.
There is nothing in this interview that hints towards Gündogan´s departure, though. Outside of some PR talk to make Gündogan appear in a better light in terms of negotations, there is little about Gündogan in the interview at all.
Right now, the odds have turned clearly in the favour of a contract extension:
- Dortmund officials changing their tune somewhat and being less definite about Gündogan leaving
- Gündogan´s agent doing a 180 turn and bringing up an extension again while ruling out leaving on a free transfer in 2016
- Schalke securing Johannes Geis (former Tuchel player who was heavily linked with Dortmund as Gündogan´s replacement)
So while a potential move to United is not impossible or off the table until Gündogan puts his signature under the new contract, the likeliest scenario is Gündogan staying for at least one more year at Dortmund.
Realistically I think we need them both. Schneiderlin with Gundogan/Schweinsteiger with Herrara is ideal.
this one is dead in the water.
My muppet dream signing...the thought of him, Herrera, and Carrick playing together in a midfield 3 is amazing.
Another one bites the dust
No one wanted him in the end then. Greed got the better of him, I bet.
No one wanted his fat ass
What I think happened: United got a deal with the player, Dortmund asked for way too much for him and he wasn't that high on LvG's list. Then Barcelona said they would like him but can't until 2016 and he should wait another year. No club could find an agreement with Gündogan and Dortmund so he decided to stay and for another year, prove his worth for Dortmund and get his dream switch to Barcelona next year.
Best for him IMO. If he rediscovers his form then he'd get a big move and teams wouldn't hesitate paying those wages he was asking for.
Yeah seems all his realistic destinations - the clubs weren't too keen on his wage demands, especially after his serious injury.
He'll probably renew (if the news above is accurate - he has already). And head off to Barca/Madrid/Bayern in a year or 2, if he reaches his top level again.

It seems if those reports are true,he entered this transfer window with mindset like he is free agent,which it is not the case.
He's extended his contract.
Guess this one actually is dead in the water
Good. Wasn't convinced with his fitness anyway.
for 1 year. Barca bound after that.
You fecking tease!
Fantastic we didn't get him
He's a fat bastard anyway.
Extended until 2017. There's blatantly a clause that will see him go for a set fee / to a set club.
Definitely thought we were going to get him when all those reports came out a while ago... Oh well. Let's hope Schneiderlin/Schweinsteiger go through
"Barca are buying pogba and gundogan?!
Lack of solid interest from other clubs I reckon. Don't think many are sure he will reach his previous level.
Why are they sitting in an art studio like room?
And Turan and Verratti, they are also monitoring Herrera.
Tailed tucked firmly inbetween his legs. If he does regain form he'll be out that door oh so quickly.
A good thing for everyone I think. Gundogan, with doubts surrounding him currently and lack of interest from big clubs, has got a year to get back to his previous levels in a team and league he is accustomed to. Dortmund retain a key player and will think that Gundogan will get better and fitter than last season. For interested clubs, if Gundogan stays injury free and reaches his previous levels by end of season, there will be a v.good player available in summer 2016 with just 1 year on contract.
again?
According to the bad sources, they do.
