Wait, whats going on with Gotze?

So thats Gotze off the shopping list so! Sort of embarrassing constantly missing out on high profile targets. Either the club needs to stop the leaks or actually start sealing some of these type of deals.

For context:

He's reportedly decided to stay at Bayern.

Makes sense for him to say something like that esp if any prospective deals go tits up.

Until I see him leaning against something in melwood, I won't even believe were talking to his agent.

Oh yes, it's in Bild so it's therefore true. They never get anything wrong or just use idle speculation do they?

Is it Bild or Kicker that are the reliable ones in Germany?

Harry Palmr · 23-05-2016 2:23pm

Bildsport is more reliable than Bild but until it's in Kicker.....at which point its like a Kickerinthenuts

murpho999 · 23-05-2016 2:28pm

Read an article on it and there's nothing in the story. If true it's just him saying he's looking forward to first training session with Ancellotti.

How that means he said he is staying is beyond me.

Mkhitaryan and Konoplyanka are favourites...

Sappy404 · 23-05-2016 2:29pm

Considering they're quoting him directly I think it's more likely real than not.

Anyone care to shed some light on what he would get from sacking his agent if he had decided to stay? A bigger cut of the sign-on fee when he leaves for nothing next year maybe?

Clearly someone is advising him. Hopefully it's not Mendes. We know where he's ending up if it is...

I still have to copy and paste Mkhitaryan, as for that Greek centre back....:eek:

MD1990 · 23-05-2016 2:32pm

Gotze is obviously not coming & i'm not too annoyed about it at all. He is a good player but overhyped because of his world cup winning goal & hasn't performed at his best level since leaving Dortmund. Also there has been question marks about his attitude as well. I think Firmino is a better player.

And remember, it's pronounced Muckhetaryan. Or as someone on IrishKop called him, Mickey Tarzan

100%, and we have lots of players quite like him too.

murpho999 · 23-05-2016 2:45pm

Coutinho said this a week before signing for Liverpool.

Harry Palmr · 23-05-2016 2:47pm

Quote: “I look forward to the new season in Munich and will do everything possible to be in top shape for my first training session under Carlo Ancelotti

which is not exactly definitive really even if it's reads that way at a glance. He hasn't said I am staying (merely looking forward to, I'm looking forward to being a euro lottery millionare one day) and BM have not said he is staying so he could still leave.

Morzadec · 23-05-2016 3:10pm

German lad in work who knows his football telling me that this Karius lad is very handy and "for sure an upgrade on Mignolet"

Benimar · 23-05-2016 3:12pm

So a player who is under contract to Bayern Munich says he is looking forward to the new season with said team and loads of lads on the forum lose their s**t.

What exactly was he supposed to say? Carlo is a dope and I'm off to Merseyside??

It's going to be a long summer on here :-(

True. Gotze is talking with a year left on his contract and on the day he sacked his agent, too. Chances are he's after more money. Certainly puts paid to the "he's desperate to be reunited with Klopp" nonsense that some were reporting.

StringerBell · 23-05-2016 3:26pm

Gotze was never going to leave Munich for Liverpool, he would have better options available if he was leaving and he is a Carlo kind of player (as in he will get more game time under Carlo then Pep)

Sappy404 · 23-05-2016 3:37pm

Weeks of reports saying we were talking to him and within days of us failing to make the CL he has sacked his agent and said he is staying. To me this can only suggest a) he genuinely wants to stay (unlikely) or b) he wants to find another club but isn't interested in coming to Liverpool. Either way we should be looking elsewhere.

Well it's been widely reported he isn't in Ancelotti's plans for next season, so I don't know what you're basing that off.

I think the reason he sacked his agent is that he doesn't have better options available. He's clearly unhappy with Liverpool being the only choice if he's sacking the crowd charged with finding him a club and then publicly stating that he would rather stay at Bayern. He's in his last year there and clearly not part of the plans. Liverpool just isn't the move he wants to make, apparently.

Could be very plausible. Im sure we will have some more solid information tonight from Joyce or Pearce. If not Gotze then who instead i wonder ?

I would love draxler of wolfsburg

Dortmund want him back as well apparently.

A lot of people reading whatever they want into it. Ultimately nobody has a buckin clue only Gotze himself. And even he might be undecided.

We've made a very blatant bid for his services (and practically publicized it for some reason) and he's staying at a club where he's not wanted rather than taking it up. It's obvious he isn't happy with it. The fact that he's now asking someone else to get him a satisfactory contract somewhere speaks volumes.

I won't be surprised if United, Chelsea or PSG manage to tempt him to abandon his honourable intentions of impressing Ancelotti next season. Especially if Mendes takes him on.

Fakman87 · 23-05-2016 4:52pm

I think you may have dodged a bullet if it's true lads. He would cost extortionate money and IMO Coutinho is a more exciting, if less well rounded player.

Agent Coulson · 23-05-2016 5:04pm

L’Equipe are saying Sakho will find out the length of his ban next week.

I guess that will determine how many CB's we will need to have for next season.

rob316 · 23-05-2016 5:06pm

I fully expect him to end up at Chelsea, United or Juventus

We will look for around 4m for Sinclair from a tribunal. Hopefully we'll get close to that.

The joke system in here is a lot like the scraps situation from Always Sunny in Philly.
5starpool's joke is Dennis' conquest, Washington's reply is Mac taking the scraps thanks and my 'joke' is the leftovers for Frank.

As my browser doesn't show photobucket I didn't get the joke - that and I'm really old.
