Doing really well at Inter before a cruciate injury ended his season early.

I went on and on last summer's transfer window about how he was available for 7million but no we only sell good players,not buy them.

The best we can hope for in CM from our tight-fisted club is Wanyama(not a bad option but no epl experience) or the poor man's De jong....Yousuff Mulumbu. He is stalling on a new contract and has got a year left. So right up AW's street...African and Cheap.

He actually wouldn't be a bad buy as he gives most teams a really hard time in his CM role. Not sure we'd have beat them if he'd been playing last month.

Jovetic isn't worth £25m, if we sold that other guy for around the same.
12 goals in 29 appearances. Maybe his age puts an extra £10m on. :?

EDIT: Are there more than 2 years left on his contract?

I can see Gundogan a potential champions league finalist, possibly winner leaving back t0 back title winning Dortmund for 5th place(it's the new 4th) trophy winning Arsenal.

If this were any other site but COS I would say Gundogan only needs to see how well Sahin's career has gone after his big money move to Real. He couldn't even get into an average 'Pool midfield and got bitch slapped at Anfield by one game wonder Diaby :oops:

Haha just like Holtby - nobody knew this bloke, then as soon as Sky Sports News realised there was a decent young half-English player in Germany he was suddenly one of Europe's hottest properties.

Can't see it, he would be admitting that he's failed at Barca. It's a backward step regardless of what Bayern did to them on and will do them.
