Transfers & Rumors Discussion Thread Vol. XVI [R]

Agreed completely, he'll ask to make expensive signings:

Modric (40 million)
Di Maria (30 million)
Coentrao (30 million)
Nuri Sahin (10 million)
Pedro Leon (10 million)

Lol.

 

And you know this how exactly, a member of Pep's family?

 

Bojan said it, and he's reinstated in several interviews his liking for past milan sides.

 

Well Bojan saying doesn't really confirm anything. He's leaving in Jan most likely so if he loved Pep so much, he could at least wait it out for him. There's a few clubs out there that Pep can join, and Bayern is certainly on that list. I still have a few issues with the transfer (like any transfer), but I'll get into it if we actually get him.

 

He said Pep told him he wanted to coach Milan, anyways - I'm not really concerned with that tbh. It would be great if we can get him, but based on what I know about football, probably not.

 

And what do you know about football that it won't happen?

 

Coaches need a certain level of cultural familiarity to really go for a team. Pep is no fool, he can't speak German and isn't too familiar with the culture either, thats just the nature of the situation at the moment. He also, would probably want to build his own team, all top coaches think the same way. At Bayern, Heynckes already built his team, and i think if Pep came in he'd want a radical reform which wouldn't go down well with the FO or the fans.

In short, i'd be very surprised if he choses bayern munich, but would welcome it.

 

Talk of Emre Can to Leverkusen in exchange for fitness trainer Holger Broich. I'm hoping it's just a loan.

 

I never want to see a "Hummels" happen again. Not saying that every loan will work out, but an airtight loan agreement is in order.

 

Can is not going anywhere, Heynckes has reiterated his likeness for him. I don't know what Hendrik is talking about, we still have Tymoschuk who should be on his way out, maybe Can can take his place next season in those Copa del ray games?

Besides, Who knows if Gustavo is really interested in remaining with Bayern munich for the next 2 - 3 seasons? What if he makes a move? You should never get rid of your younger, talented players.

 

And why wouldn't he? We can make said assumption for every single player that's not a 100% starter. I doubt they would sell him anyways.

 

fyp

 

You never know when things change, he gets an injury or puts in very decent performances and decides to move to a club in the EPL. Anyways, my point is dont sell can because we might need him.

 

Pep is basically in radio silence mode and hasn't talk to anyone about what he wants to do and where he intends in going since his sabbatical in New York started. Therefore not even the clubs interested really know what is going to happen as not even they know more than "Pep might be interested". And the language thing is not to overestimate in that regard because clever people can learn languages pretty fast if they want to and it is not that Pep doesn't have the time to do so if he chooses

 

If Gustavo is showing what he did this season he will be in a permanent rotation mode with Martinez and Schweinsteiger. With the amount of matches, smaller injuries etc. three vor this two positions will be important.

 

Things change, rather quickly. You never know when a top player might desert you (just ask Arsenal/Dortmund/Manchester United)

 

With all the inside sources so far, I'm surprised he hasn't signed about 15 times over since his departure from Barcelona.

 

Holtby is coming ablösefrei. Will be loaned out first.

 

He isn't coming but according to a german newspaper we are interested in signing him in the summer.

I think thats BS but that what they say.

 

Sounds BS. We're stacked in midfield and we also have some good up and coming prospects for the coming years

 

That's just what I saw on Skysports. Said Holtby soll ablösefrei nach Bayern wechseln under Breaking News

 

We are not a selling club ...

 

He can play only as an AM or on the wings too ??
