I feel as we missed out on someone with a future here, what do you guys think?

This should be in general football mate.

He will be a good signing for them, he has bags of potential, if he fulfills half of it he will be some player.

Is is it me or do German clubs get things sorted early. This is the second significant signing done for the summer. I believe Dortmund got Reuss sorted. Good way to do business. Although August 31st must be dull

I'd much rather have Shakira.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

The one player I wanted

I'd much rather have Shakira.

I wouldn't mind dribbling round her box.

Eh, Eh?

Vastly prefereable to Beyonce.
In all seriousness i would have liked this to happen.

We have our own Shaq...Coulthirst.

Not good news, very talented and would have loved to see him at Spurs. Ahh well.

Probably joined Bayern because of linguistic reasons. His English is not that good.

Do we get to sign Ribery or Robben now?

 

[carpediem991]

Good signing. Thank god I am Spurs and Bayern Munich supporter

He explained in an interview that it was always his dream to play for Bayern munich and that he had lots of offers around the globe. He didn't want to move to Russia, Turkey, Ukraine.... because he wants to get better and because he is young he thinks Bundesliga is the right choice to take the first big step in his career.
He wants to win trophies, obv Champions League his dream.
He rates Bundesliga and Premier League near the same level better than Italian or Spanish league, and I agree with that :wink:

Woah....woah.....woah,....don't pressure the kid just yet!!!!

 

[lol]

freaking 8 million pounds. my god.

If they sell one it'll be Robben, he's always injured though.

 

[punkisback]

freaking 8 million pounds. my god.

If people did their scouting properly there are lots of bargains to be found in foreign leagues. This looks like a brilliant piece of business given the amount of money we and liverpool paid for dross under commoli.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Hopefully we will go for his teammate xhaka now

It's a bit like putting down their towell on the sun loungers at 5 in the morning.

Us on the the other hand go out at midday and have to sit in the shade ( or in football terms, sign Saha and Nelson on transfer deadline day)

He's a left winger though no?

And seeing as we have Bale wouldn't this be a weird signing?

Or does he play across the pitch? (I'm only going by wiki that have him down as a winger and state that he is left-footed so am putting 2 and 2 together here and possibly getting 5).
