On the face of it this could just be paper talk, but the more I think about it the more I could see it actually happening.
He's clearly a top player and a very good goal scorer but my big question is who wants him ? I think the top clubs don't really have the room for him upfront, the only one I can think of is Madrid, but I honestly feel that after the world cup neymar will be moving there. The quoted 80 million is alot but in today's market not crazy. I'm sure with the big clear out to come in the summer we can raise the money without Roman dipping into his pockets. We have a good relationship with his agent and while I'm sure he's on big money but not crazy money as the Germans tend to be pretty sensible. If we were to offer him anything like the 300,00 grand a week on the table for hazard I'm sure he'd snap our hand off. As well as getting a top player, it would give the new manager a marquee signing, show hazard we still have the ambition to match his own and persuade him to sign.

I highly doubt we would get him, which is a shame because he would be the exact kind of striker who would lead the line brilliantly for us.
He doesn't suit our transfer policies for the past 8 years. As we specifically would be looking for players with resale value, and do not sign older players to long lucrative contracts.

Trying to think of players around that age we signd.
Ballack - 10/10 signing
Shevchenko - 3/10
Zola - 10/10
Any others? Mind has gone blank.

Belletti was a decent signing, Deco was old enough when he signed also.

Oh yeah Deco was decent.
Beletti was decent.
Both 6/10s or 7/10s.

I think signing Lewandoski would be brilliant!
I ask the question to people who don't want him, who on earth do you want instead?
Icardi? think.. would he really fit?
who else?

Jack Grealish in midfiekd from Aston Villa could be a gem of a signing as he is talented and I liked him when he played for Aston Villa in Premiership a few years ago.As a striker,Lewandowski is quite good but if we sign Icardi we could potentially have him for 8-10 seasons but with Lewandowski we will have him for at most 4-5 seasons even though I like him.Also,I want Chelsea to give Michy Batshuayi and Loftus Cheeks a proper chance in the first team and not sell him next season.

bayern are very economical, get what they want. They took Jamés on loan I believe(atleast originally). I wonder if they have seen bats at dortmund or would want a loan move for morata.
Still very doubtful it would happen.

Not 100% sure, but I think it was a two year loan with an obligation to buy.

Apparently we are the only team that's seriously interested in Lewandowski, Not sure how true that is.
