Reus to Madrid, Jese to Bayern. Good thinking by Jupp

Given the high possibility that RM would probably have a go for Reus, you really think Bayern would want Jese?!

That's just my own personal obsession tbh, after seeing the kid for 15 minutes.
But, in the hypothetical and unlikely case Real do not trust in youth but continue to place expensive signings ahead of him, would you think Jese would be a good understudy to maybe succeed Ribery/Robben?

As for Reus, I made up my mind and I hope we don't sign him.

I actually thought Shaqiri would have been a legit replacement for either Ribery/Robben but I gots no idea how that is going. As for Jese, he wouldn't be a direct replacement (i.e he isn't another Robben or Ribery) but he is very much talented enough to take over either spot without too much of a loss in personnel.

Of course, RM would probably not sell him since he is actually the few cantera we have currently that not only made it to 1st team but is good enough for 1st team.

btw, the full quote:

"I would recommend Marco Reus to go to Real Madrid. FC Bayern has four, five world class players in attack, where would they find space for him?"

Shaqiri was meant to become Ribery's successor but it looks like he just doesn't cut it. He's young and who knows how he'll be after playing somewhere else regularly, but after a strong and promising impression in his first season he has failed since to show anything that would warrant starting him or consider him a meaningful competition/successor for Ribery. Not that he's been bad, but just not at that level.

Jese, obviously no real idea about him but he seemed to me potentially the kind of assertive attacking player that we would need once those two are gone. Most of all of course I love the thought of stealing a real homegrown player who Real fans love as their baby.

If Shaqiri doesn't cut it, Reus to Bayern would seem like a no-brainer. Like a sure hit, no 50-50 chance like with Shaqiri. Bring in Reus, move Shaqiri on and bring in either Draxler or Depay as the next Shaqiri. I could see Bayern doing that.

Gazzetta still insists about Inter on Lucas Leiva and Mancini likes him much
He has just said now " Lucas Leiva is a great player. He 'd help much "
Is Liverpool available to sell him in January ?

Sure. 25m €, German NT player, proven top winger/attacking player in a position we need fresh blood very soon.

It is a no brainer, except for the fact it would be too much *bleep* Dortmund in our team, and that he's always injured.

True. If he doesn't join us it's not because we didn't try (Rummenigge and Sammer would have no scruples lol)

I'm not sure, he surely was in the summer, but now Rodgers has been playing him a lot again. He's, like, our 2nd choice CM right now when Henderson is playing wing-back and Allen has been so shite that even Rodgers has had to admit that and drop him. And for some weird reason Emre Can isn't getting minutes. Maybe he is available, maybe he isn't, who knows. I'm also not sure if Lucas is willing to swap Liverpool for Inter when they're not doing any better and he's being able to fight for his spot at Liverpool.

Why would Inter need him anywa, though? You've already got plenty of CMs as far as I can tell.

Would Mancini say something like this out loud if there weren't some kind of contact or positive signal?

yes we signed 2 midfielders this summer under Mazzarri , Medel ( bought 9 mln ) and M'Vila ( on loan with an option to buy ) , but the 2nd is never fit , and Mancini doesn't like the Chilean . Mazzarri loved him but Mancini doesn't like the Chilean and he prefers him definitely Leiva

no ,we don't follow him anymore
Roma does it

Well, I don't think it's impossible to get Lucas to Inter, but I would find it a bit bizarre, he's not exactly a game-changer and you seem to be in need of something more special.

Hapless_Hans wrote:Would Mancini say something like this out loud if there weren't some kind of contact or positive signal?

No, the journalist asked him about Leiva ( why Gazzetta reported our interest , but it talked also about Cerci and Lennon tbh .. and today Auslio , our director, said  Inter is not interested to Road runner Lennon ) and he responded about him  , about the fact he appreciates Leiva, great player etc etc
Anyway Mancini said it is difficult to sign him too

I ***************** hope not.

But we're Liverpool... so we'll probably just loan him out for free just for you guys.

it has begun

100 mil pounds and he is yours, with love

I'll take 80 mills.

Roma is interested to Podolski , according Gazzetta dello Sport
this because Gervinho is going away for Africa Cup
