I've just read reports that we are in talks with Mario Gotze: It has even been reported by Bild who are usually quite reliable!
What does everyone think? Would he be a good signing or not?

Mario Gotze??

We were linked a lot before the Euros as well because of Klopp, wanted him back then.
No doubting his ability but personally not no sure now, average season for Bayern last season and had a very poor Euros by all standards. Worries about whether he would cut it in this physical league as well, he struggles on that part of his game already.

Your link is missleading OP.

This is the original source.
But BILD only speculate then being in the knowing.
The BILD report say that Götze appearently said to his national team mates that he wants to leave Bayern allthough he stated differently before the EURO's.
Bild know linking him with firstly Dortmund and secondly with Tottenham. Allegedly Spurs contacted his representatives in the last few days.
A vague report if you ask me.

doubt we will get him and don't particularly want him.
we have players to play where he plays. spend the money on what we actually need.

I am not saying it can't happen. Think in the next few days we get more info if that rumour is true.

I don't think we need any more attacking mids, unless we are going to get one with lighting pace (i.e. something different)
Gotze hasn't impressed me for ages and is he really significantly better than eriksen? I would say no, and I guess they are similar age.
Dele Alli has the potential to comfortably surpass both.
our attacking mid options of
Eriksen
Alli
Lamela
Son
Chadli
NJie
With Dembele also very effective if used there, and Pritchard coming through, is very strong.
use the 20m and 100k a week on an area we need to strengthen... split the money and buy another CB (unless we are going to promotes CCV), and get ourselves a decent back up keeper.

would like a bit of pace behind kane but think we have to accept its not really how poch plays, pace and width comes from the fullbacks and the 3 behind kane are more creative players who come inside and create

Gotze would demand at least 100k pw wages and i can't see us paying those wages before the new stadium is built.
