You don't even need Cavani.
City already have 2 world class strikers.
Jovetic makes sense. He's young, versatile and has potential. Will cost what, £25m? Why pay £50m for Cavani. I've never understood why so many City fans feel the urge for this big name striker.
Already with the proclamations of greatness? The Galliani spirit is strong in this one.

Gotze, Cavani, Handanovic, Rooney, Ibrahimovic... It's still April yet things are already interesting.
Now, who the hell are we after? Agazzi.
I mean.

Worry not, Super John will save us!
I still wish City had activated Isco's release clause and offered to loan him back to Malaga for the rest of the season or something. He was available for so cheap!
I know. And now it's something like 576m :lol Damn it.
Gotta sell dem new Nike shirts!!
Hey, I like him. Although it would have been better to go after Sirigu me think.
I understand how frustrating the situation is. Berlu needs to conform to the regulations but he could have at least shelled out some money on the likes of Isco, Griezmann, Draxler or Dzagoev.

City need a striker, someone who can finish the plays, Aguero is great but he is more of a trequartista than a Center Forward.
Innit.
CM and wingers should be on City's wish list more. Promote Guidetti instead of him fucking about in the EDS.
So, it seems a PL club was actually trying to get Götze.
If you browse through his tweets from SATURDAY.

Another United fan. Shocker.
Incredible.
Oh god no. I actually feel insulted
Portsmouth fan and I do not like Manchester United fans in the slightest (everyone at school was a fan growing up, a lot of them cannot take losing graciously and the minute they lose they turn against their own manager/players)
It was some rumour posted by Bild which they said was a done deal.
I heard in the wind it was Arsenal.
Bayern needed some positive PR after the whole tax debacle.

The manager was Arsene Wenger who we know bid for Gotze in the past.

It was bild (newspaper) that broke the news first
Let them hate. I will try to ignore it. It will not always work but its worth a try. The hate we received today was just ridiculous. Butthurt football fans who wished mario götze would join them. But we are not in the 90s anymore. Where a big name was enough to get a certain player. Im proud that bayern caught up with those. Between the 80s and the 2000s we were always inferior to the other big european clubs. Maybe they are just afraid that another team has entered the stage. 2010 was the start, 2012 showed we can do it again. And reaching this years semi final was also a huge benchmark. Especially after besting champions league legends like arsenal and juve. Anyway, get used to some more bayern, guys. Just like i have to get used to read ur trolling in gaf after a defeat. But maybe thats just a sign of acceptance

They probably want to destabilize each other, either way it Dortmund are on the wrong side at the end.
At least wait till the end of the CL.
Some ridiculous idiot posted a link to one of those absurd conspiracy theory posts about the Boston Marathom bombings being staged on the NeoGAF Facebook group last night. Pissed me right off. Looks like someone deleted the post though.
Here's the guy who made the post initially though: https://www.facebook.com/JCRCrasyz. I was livid.
Thank goodness. Sorry about you guys going down but it seems like you'll be in a better place with the new ownership situation.

Actually it's not quite clear.
Of course neither Dortmund nor Bayern wanted it to be official now, but there are alot of sources who claim the leak is within the bayern.
You could also claim it was Hoeneß
to overshadow his current problems, still Klopp doesn't believe so and if you watched the press conference he left a hint.The hint could mean two things, either there was someone from Bayern who leaked it or even someone from Madrid to heat things up.
But don't you guys think it would have made more sense for Dortmund to announce it later? What did Bayern do wrong in this announcement in your collective opinions? What is this about Klopp saying someone timed it to cause disharmony?

I prefer Perin, a little bit better imho.
And honestly I don't see Berlusconi pay more than 10-15m for a non-striker. Even less if there aren't any elections in Italy. Plus, this year we have a debt around 7m and next year we'll probably have around 25m to spend on new players, so it's just a matter of time before we get back to signing important players every six months.
At least, that's what I'm hoping for, based on Galliani and Barbara Berlusconi's comments.
Well Gotze is a mainstay of the Dortmund team and they've a big match coming up against Madrid in a CL semi-final. When teammates find out it's bound to have a destabilizing influence.
So you think someone from the Bayern camp initiated it?
Any idea if the source of the leak came from either Bayern or Dortmund?
That is what I am trying to figure out, what did bayern actually do to cause a destabilization (other than buying gotze if course)

So there is no way we can know for sure if this is Bayern's fault huh?
City met with his agent in March. Arsenal have a longstanding interest in Gotze as well. The guy who tweeted it said Wenger told someone who told him.

Bayern fans are awful at taking hate :lol
No idea, rumours point towards Bayern, but nothing is confirmed. I guess it was easier for Dortmund to confirm it now instead of having it asked at every press conference whether it was true or not for the rest of the season.

Its going to be for the best, it feels like we have won something rather than be relegated. I was at the game on Saturday, the atmosphere is electric again and it feels like we have just been released from someones basement after a few years. Cannot wait for next season, its nice to be able to talk about football than off field problems with fans.

that's more like it Mr. Wayne
You can make that case with any top manager, you expect Pep to manage a team like Everton now
Ancelotti, Mourinho they all move to teams where they will have a huge transfer budget to mold a team to their image.
Ancelotti started his career at Reggina/Parma and Mourinho started his at Benfica/União de Leiria. That's very different from Pep's
There's no reason why Dortmund would have leaked it themselves to Bild. They didn't stand to benefit from it at all. It was either someone within Bayern or perhaps even Gotze's agent. He doesn't lose anything from leaking it.
Bayern announcing that Dortmund will lose arguably their best player a day before a difficult game against Madrid benefits them. They're already the favorites in the league next year, if they help cause Dortmund to get knocked out of the UCL before making extra money by reaching the finals (and possibly winning it), all the better.
I doubt we'll ever find out the official source of the leak.

Champions League legends.
?
Anyway, you have the right attitude. Like I said last time, I am surprised that isn't your attitude already since everyone must hate you in Germany.
I think it's pretty obvious that Bayern orchestrated the whole thing. Brilliant move, really.

Klopp said he doesn't believe it was someone from Bayern. That leaves only few options:
- Someone from Schlake did it because they really hate us and want us to fail
- Someone from Madrid/Mou did it to weaken us
- Someone from Barca to try to irritate Bayern players
Honestly, none of those are any better than the Hoeneß theories.

He is questioning the inclusion of Arsenal I believe. And i agree with u - I think Arsenal are not an easy team.
That is what I am wondering - why Dortmund didn't keep it quiet for now in order to not destabilize the fans. Probably because the leak already did the damage eh?

Actually Pep managed the B team in third division, won promotion to second division, then against all odds Laporta promoted him to the first team, more than 2/3s of barca's governing body wanted Mourihno in that very summer.
Even myself had doubts about him, he was too "green" but knew the club.

I don't see any hate. Only fear.
Haha, had to smile there too. Arsenal fans are going through harsh times. I wanted to be nice.
I'm unforgettable I know, but nobody can stop our love.
You involuntary asshole, you.
Lets not overlook the importance of #BasedTxiki in Pep's promotion.
I am fine with the accounting, it's just a bit sad that the supporters are given Iwata's speech this season as well. Had the big teams in Italy restrained to bribe referees prior to Calciopoli, Serie A would be now in much better shape. Financially as well. Stupid FIGC.
