He won't go for anywhere near that. I think he'll go for under 20m. Wages at Bayern are reportedly 140k Euros per week. Even with the collapse in the pound that's 119.5k per week * 52 weeks = ~6.2m per year without any cut in pay whatsoever.

We can afford that. There's room for Levy to maneuver on this one.

5.2 million pounds a year is pretty much our hard wage cap though, so unless he's willing to accept that pay cut, it might be tough.

I think it's unlikely that he'd choose us, and it's probably all tabloid silliness. But it would be really awesome if he did sign for us.

Sure it's our wage cap, but that was also before the massive tv deal was restructured, and CL revenue was a certainty.

I applaud Levy for his hard-nosed discipline, and refusal to toss money around like everyone else is in the league right now, but there's room to maneuver here and Gotze shouldn't be out of our reach financially if everyone involved is eager to cut a deal and move on.

Who knows how serious the reports are? We're a good prospect so I won't rule them out, and most of the sudden media reports playing down the move have more of a "lol Spuds" quality to them than good reporting.

Dortmund fans weren't pleased when he left, and some people would prefer pastures anew rather than going home with their tailed tucked between their legs.
