Not the most reliable of sources but you can kind of believe it. He's had no luck there and isn't playing.
Madrid will want to sign another galactico this summer so will no doubt have to sell 1 or 2 as they usually do anyway.
We could potentially get the ex Dortmund playmaker and captain, Sahin, and their current playmaker, Kagawa, for about 20m quid. 15m less than Hazard is reported to be going for.
One word Mr Gill......VALUE !!! Get it done.
Madrid to let Sahin leave for 10m Euros

is he a bit injury prone then, is that tempting fate with our midfield?

I've been hoping we express an interest in Sahin for a long time, as I think a midfield two of Strootman and Sahin would be great additions, but when was the last time SAF went for any clubs reject? I literally can't remember one other than the strange Owen signing, and even then it was after he'd been at Newcastle from Madrid and his contract had run out.

Ain't Strootman off to Milan?
Pea, you still think Kagawa can't create through the middle?

okay guys, sahin would be a terrific signing. As someone said earlier is playing style is very much like alonso as he can orchestrate from deep
but i would rather have sahin+kagawa @ 20 million over hazard @35 million
off to YouTube to watch his videos.

Value for money, Kagawa 10 million and Sahin 10 million.
If that isn't value for money then no player on earth is.
But we won't even bid for Sahin I reckon. I've never heard of us being linked with him.

^^^^^
so true.
Won't stop me dreaming it might happen though, at least until when the transfer window closes.
Would be nice to watch him come to utd resume his rivalry with arsenal's podolski

sorry to burst the bubble, but we have seen this situation before. Huntelaar, sneijder, robben, VDV. Even when we had an 80 million deal going the other way and in need of talented players, fergie purposefully ignored the options available.
Sahin left for there knowing what kind of situation he was getting into, battling for playing time and being a bench player. Regardless of the attraction of real, abandoning the chance to play regularly usually sends a message. I think we will pass like we have passed on the rest who have decided to go for the madrid galactico dream and failed.

I personally feel kagawa deal is in the bag and we would have in him a player with the ability to create through the middle, especially in games that are open/ end to end.
I feel what we need most is a central midfielder the can control the middle of the pitch either with passing or with physical presence and or tackling.
Sahin falls into the first category, he is a pass master like scholes, alonso and fabregas. He would be an amazing signing.
