Seems to me that we are being linked with basically every good player in Germany or that is German: Leno, Khedira, Hummels, Dante, Schweinsteiger, Rodriguez, Gundogan, Muller, Reus . I'm sure that there are some I have missed.
Although most of it will be nonsense I am quite pleased by this I think German players are generally technically very gifted and have great ability and also resilience - they don't play act (apart from Muller).
I'd certainly like to see a few German's come in: Ideally Schweinsteiger as our number 6 and Gundogan to play alongside Herrera. I wouldn't even say no to Rodriguez.
The Rodriguez link is interesting. LVG stated that he wants two top players in every position. So might he want Rodriguez and Shaw?

We've already got Shaw , Blind and Rojo so left back is well covered

Would either really want to play 2nd fiddle though Fresh? Both are young so will want to play/develop, wouldn't work. We don't need a LB.

No, neither would want to be second choice. I hope Shaw can get through a season and play 30 odd games with Blind rotating with him for Cups and things.

Isn't Rodriguez from Switzerland? Or am I mistaken for a different player? i'm on about the LB from Wolfsburg.
