Hi Eds

Was looking through a few of the foreign media rumours to see if there was any update on the Salah situation and stumbled across Spanish media saying that Douglas Costa is linked to Barcelona for €25million. Now I know you guys don't like talking money, but if anywere close to that price is true, would that not make more value for money than this Portuguese kid and possibly even Salah himself. I can't say I've seen a lot of Costa as I don't watch much German football but what I have seen he looks a really good player, do you guys have any thoughts on him? Is he a different type of player to Salah and who would be your preferred choice, just in your opinion.

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - The player want and need is Julian Brandt - that is where the efforts should be expended.}

Is Brandt still a possibility?

{Ed002's Note - Of course.}

Costa and Brandt would be excellent we lack width and have for years now so why not both with all the games next season. If it's true Costa is available for 21 million then both would cost in same region as either Martins or Salah.

Ed2002.

With the player/ Brandt wanting reassurances over game time, is he asking for this to be written in any potential contract? Thus putting us off making a move?

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained before.}

Fair enough, I read you'd mentioned about seeking assurances over game time, but I must have missed your comments if this was to be written into any contract, hence us not making an illegal approach ( joke )
