hasper57saint Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 FWIW My German contact tells me that Ralph was interested in Borussia Dortmunds Mario Gotze 26. A speedy midfielder who is in the National squad. Wonder if he's still interested?

Ralph is probably interested, but I highly doubt Gotze is interested in coming to us!

Wonder if he's still interested? 4/5 years ago he was unreal but the wrong move to Bayern and some illness (not sure what it was, but it was bad) have prevented him really kicking on and becoming a world beater, which he looked at 21. Dortmund have a lot of players in that position, I’m no sure how much of a game he’s getting but I’d file this one under unrealistic.
Pilchards Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Our stupid league position doesn’t help RH convincing players to come and that’s why I reckon we will get a couple of loans only.

tajjuk Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Interesting one, hes not playing much but you'd suspect a few decent clubs in Germany might be interested and doubt he'd want to come here.

S-Clarke Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 19m is a hell of a lot of money for an unproven player like Solanke. He's made less than 50 apps in his entire career ffs.

mcbendy Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 Quotes in the Sun, apparently from Ralph, confirming interest in Shoya Nakajima. "We want to give him the chance to make the next step". Make of that what you will...

Block 5 Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 S-Clarke said: I wonder what's happened to Clyne for him to be wanted by the likes of Cardiff and Bournemouth? I thought we'd be all over that, given our need for pace and a RB. Must be something else going on there as I'd have expected other clubs to be interested as well.I heard he (allegedly) failed a drug test at Liverpool ages ago. Apparently not performance-enhancing drugs either, but rather, the recreational variety. It was kept quiet but word got out. I thought it was common knowledge.

davefizzy14 Posted 4 January, 2019 Posted 4 January, 2019 If Sky reports are correct and we are looking for a new CB and pace out wide then hopefully we will get in Upamencano, Sisto and Igahlo.

One to watch in the Asia Cup perhaps.
