No thanks.
Leon Goretzka
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
Yep, would be up there with FdJ in terms of desirability, but also sadly I suspect in terms of chance of ever signing for United.
Goretzka I don't want. Never been all that special in my opinion, and regardless you should never knowingly buy someone injury prone, especially if they're German and Bayern are willing to sell them...
I don’t buy it.
Makes sense then. Would be worth a conversation.
I see. No way Bayern would sell him imo.

No thanks. Not good enough anymore.
We will 100% not buy him.....this is just "agent/journalism blah blah".
Reason 1: He would only be on the bench for most matches with us because Fernandes is much better than him.......+ Mount, Eriksen, Mainoo and maybe Amrabat are here too.
Reason 2: He was cleary against Qatar as sponsor at Bayern Munich and that was just as sleeve sponsor........what would be his opinion if our owners would be from Qatar.

He is a box to box player. Not necessarily what we would need. The Mount signing would look stupid, which it was anyway IMO. But ETH wanted him badly.
Pass, no more payday merchants.
If we wanted a McTominay, why not just keep the one we have who cost us nothing and is on low wages. I don't see the point in going and buying a version of a player we already have, therefore, I think this is just paper talk. Probably put out by his agent.
What makes you think you have better judgement than ETH?
Hes miles better than McTominay. Still I don’t see it
Propose a straight swap for a Brazilian midfielder, then pull a bait and switch when they find out it’s Fred.
As mentioned, he's basically good McTominay. We don't have any particular need for a player like that.
Highly likely to be Plettenberg talking out of his arse and adding our name to get more clicks.

Agreed.
I actually don't think he is. He was flattered by the system they played and the players around him. There's a reason why he's out of favor at Bayern, especially since Flick left.
Those reasons are he is being played in a role that does not suit him
You could say the same about McTominay. Don't get me wrong, while I like McTominay and I think there's a player in there, I don't think he's good enough to get into the team. I hope that makes it clear that I'm not a fanboy of McTominay's or something. Between the two players, they are both box to box midfielders who are at their best offensively, both rely on their physicality. Goretzka might be a better passer while McTominay the better dribbler. Both have an eye for a goal, but both are not good enough for us.
Doubt it's veracity, wouldn't have bought mount and made Bruno the captain otherwise.
Bayern selling a player....hmmm stay away I say!
And even a midfielder with some recent fitness issues at that... what could possibly be wrong with that? Although Hargreaves was worth it for the CL season i guess.
Why would we not have made Bruno captain?
It means he's an undisputed starter in Eric's eyes(which he already was but this just cements it).
I'm assuming we're going with a midfield 3 and both bruno and casemiro will be one first names in the team sheet so that leaves just one vacant spot which will be probably mount's.
Where would gortzeka fit in?
Ahead of Mount.
Doubt erik agrees with that, we wouldn't have otherwise chased mount and given him the no7 shirt.
Yeah definitely
Goretzka is available because the consensus is that Kimmich and Goretzka does not work as a combination because neither is defensive minded.
I wouldn't be 100% surprised if we moved from him very late in the window if we haven't signed anyone else before then
Washed and injury prone. No, thanks.
Pretty much
I think he is really good box to box midfielder.
Think we need an Amrabat more than we need him though. But if hes a McTominay replacement then I’d take that
Illogical move.
Once I bought Vitamin water from the Bayern shop, turned out it was just normal water with sugar in it.
Their stadium is quite cool though, the only time I went to one and didn't feel completely robbed by the prices.
You need to go to Brunton park
I think that Fergie quote about italians and pasta should be reworded for Bayern.
Kessie is going to Saudi for just 15m. He could be the perfect cheap backup option for us instead of Leon.
I doubt that you'd be happy matching his Saudi wages.
I'd take him on a year loan. A fit Goretzka is almost the perfect player for that 8/9/10 hybrid that ETH wants.
Yeah I’d take him on a loan if we are to offload McT, Fred and VdB. If we do manage to, we might need to add two more midfielders, so Amrabat or preferably Lavia + Goretzka on loan would be incredible.
