If what is generally regarded is true, then Gotze turned down Liverpool and not the other way around. They wanted him. Wouldn't it be a good sign about him if he turned down a big juicy contract with them for a team like us that are in CL but offering less money ?
Why are Liverpool out of it for Götze? Well 2 possible reasons. They arent in Champions League and they also just signed Sadio Mane for £35m.

Gotze is probably the latest in a long line of players (or their agents) using our "interest" to get the deal they want. Although, Schurley going to Dortmund and their fans clearly not wanting Gotze back makes the situation just a little interesting!

Another way to look at it...... is decisions ....decisions.... Who would I rather have in our squad Ryan Mason , Nabil Bentaleb, Tommy Carroll and Clinton Njie or Mario Gotze...?

If he isn't wanted at Munich then where else could he go? Levy could have another VDV moment, but I doubt that he could pull it off. The wage demands alone would be too high. The only way I can see us getting Götze is if we negotiate a reduced fee due to us being the only club he would consider going to, and we then make up the wage loss with a signing on fee. It could keep his wages from being too inflated compared to our other top earners.
Personally I think we should make a move for Kovacic. His skill set would definitely compliment our team more.

Wijnaldum is this windows Berahino IMO, I don't think this one will wait that long, for better or worse.

Bentaleb shouldn't really be in the discussion and NJie at least offers something different (pace) than the rest of our AM group. It really should be Gotze vs. Pritchard/Mason/Carroll/Chadli. If it came down to it, I know who I'd prefer to have.

SportBild is different from Bild- the latter is supposedly more reliable.

UPDATE: Götze is open for a Dortmund return and a decision could be made in the coming days. (SportBild)

Bild is reporting that Dortmund is very close to finalizing a deal for Schurrle. I cannot see them signing both Schurrle and Gotze.
So....hmm..... interesting...

We can "get Gotze" for free from Jan 1 17 as we are not in the same country
We do not have to break our pay structure at all
for example
We can start him on say 100k and say over five years average him out at 140k by year 3 when we are in new stadium

we really should go all out for Götze. Firstly because he is a highly gifted player whose superb technique would delight all true football fans. Secondly, he would really ad a spark of creativity to our attacking play.
And thirdly because signing him would be a real statement of intent and make future signings in the elite category just that much easier...

As much as I would love us to sign Gotze I don think this is happening. Just a feeling.
But he is the kind of signing we need. We have done great business so far in Wanyama and Janssen(IMO). Would love to get a real quality AM in.

Can't really get mad if we lose out to Dortmund, although does sound a bit strange considering the supposed fan opinion of him.

Really though, one good goal and the fans' ire will melt away...

Fans are so fickle. They'll love him again if he plays well for them. Simple as that.

I think the fact that Fekir missed most of last season with a cruciate injury has almost certainly scared off many suitors.

But if he doesn't, his life will be a living hell... Glamorous and well paid hell, but you know...
Still, it's entirely possible he will risk going back to Dortmund over us as its "safer".

That plus with their new spanking stadium it's going to be harder and harder to crowbar players out of Lyon.
