What type of midfielder is he? I don't know much about German footballer other than those that play in the German national team in major tournaments. If they are still going for Khedira I'm assuming Gundogen isn't going to be another Carrick replacement?
He's like a souped up Wilshere, just hope that he's fully recovered. Very excited about this, Depay was also in Manchester yesterday so it looks like we're trying to get things wrapped up early. We won't be going for Khedira. Carrick and Blind will be the holding midfielders, Gundogan will compete with Herrera and Fellaini.
Makes sense since you can afford it to pay slightly over the odds and get the players in early allowing them to settle during presseason.
Apparently Blind knew a lot earlier that he was going to United we just left it as it was an easy deal to wrap up quickly, our main midfield target last summer was Vidal. That was quite the saga, we even had United fans streaming Chilean TV for the latest.
What is it with your recruitment department about trying to sign players just coming back from major injuries?!
You were rumoured to be looking at Strootman at the time as well iirc - you'd have been challenging Arsenal more for the top of the physioroom injury tables than for the league!
Aye Strootman is Van Gaal's favourite, shame about his injuries. Moyes should have bought him in 2013 he was a no-brainer at the time.
Guess it isn't too unusual for a foreign players performances to drop off the second half of the season, they often seem to really miss the winter break. Even Sanchez has faded a bit and both he and ADM seemd far more suited to the league physically than say Ozil did when he joined.
His girlfriend hates Manchester iirc
