Hi all,

not posted for a while, just heard a whisper, lewandowski will be the next move after the fabregas situation is sorted. Lewy will be replacement for wazza, who looks more destined for the emirates than chelski, also fellaini and baines for a combined 40mil, but this will be later in the window,

regards

I thought Lewandowski was pretty much nailed on to go to Bayern?

Are you daft! he is gone to Bayern!

I wish that was true put it sounds like a whisper from someone on fifa.

He is rumoured to be Bayern bound but worth a shot. I've been saying for weeks that a loan move could nake sense.

Think about it.

RL on loan for a year saves us splashing it big and then next year a different set of players will be available I. e. Ronaldo or Bale.

Or of course after a year on loan (that I guess we'd have to pay for) RL may decide to stay at United.

Wishful thinking ;-)

Not that this is going to happen at all, but if had the slightest chance, then Dortmund would ask for a fee, most like £10m.
They are not going to get rid of everyone as they are still trying to compete for Champs League positions.

Melweg, the going rate for forwards of RL's ability is about £50m so £10m for a year isn't too bad. I'm sure the difference in his and WR's wages would pay about half of it anyway.

Alternatively some sort of permanent deal that has him on a fixed sell on to Bayern after a year could achieve the same thing but cheaper dor us.

It's a bit off the wall but clearly RL holds all the cards with regards his next move.

I forgot to add.

BVB are in a similar position with RL as we are with WR. Albeit with less media coverage and manipulation - in the UK at least.

Difference is that WR has 2 years left on his contract and RL has only one. We could wait another year. Perhaps even 2 if the club thinks its worth it.

Lewandowski will join Munich this summer

Dan I didn't mean the contract length. I meant the player clearly wants to be playing elsewhere. Not ideal in a team environment.

Why on earth would u loan out your best forward for the final year of his contract? Be better selling him than taking a 10mill loan fee

12.) 22 Jul 2013
A. Because he wants to leave so what's the point of keeping him? B. If they sold him now that's all they'd get. C. They'd prefer he moved abroad than to Bayern.

A deal could be struck that suits Dortmund, United and Bayern, it won't happen but my point remains that I would be happy if it did.
