The FC Bayern München 2003/04 Thread [R]

[Syncope]

Not a chance. Sagnol owns that position--Brazzo won't cut it on defense. Sagnol and Lizarazu are on holiday until late July (because of the Confed Cup). Sagnol has really convinced in that spot, although early on he had some integration problems with the team, and didn't like living in Germany at all. Basically, he now has a professional attitude, and is easily among the top 3 in the BL for that position. He looked good for France in the Confed Cup--despite his red card (if I remember correctly). Brazzo and Sagnol make a good team on the flank.

Makaay is reported in this mornings paper as saying that he wants to sign for Bayern. Will they come up with the cash and make it happen?

[Syncope]

Under extreme circumstances, I could see Bayern add 10% to a previous offer. There's no way they will ever pay 20, 25, or 30 milion Euros. Didn't ManU pay €41 million for Rio Ferdinand? Ha ha ha.

The thing is,Deisler is going to play when healthy(never a certainty). And Hitzfeld will not want to lose Brazzo s incredible energy. He can cut it defensivly. He is tough enogh. In that case Willy gets droped. Hitzfeld might only drop Deisler for a tough CL away match where he would want more toughnes. Sagnol simly brings very litle offense.
I hope you agree that Hargreaves is better than Jeremies

[miko]

The chances of Brazzo playing at right-back are small. Sagnol and Hargreaves are better options than him. He will play right-mid when he returns to full health. One or two(or even three)of Bayern's other usual starting midfielders(Jeremies,Ballack,Scholl,Roberto)will be injured, and Deisler will most likely fill that slot. But then again, you never know.

Sammy Kuffour von Bayern München ist nach Angaben der spanischen Sportzeitung "As" der Favorit von Real Madrids neuem Trainer Carlos Queiroz für die Nachfolge von Fernando Hierro als Innenverteidiger bei den "Königlichen".

Nachdem der als Hierro-Ersatz schon fest eingeplante Argentinier Gabriel Milito bei der sportärztlichen Untersuchung durchfiel, wird Kuffour neben den Argentiniern Roberto Fabián Ayala (FC Valencia) und Walter Samuel (AS Rom) sowie dem Niederländer Jaap Stam (Lazio Rom) hoch gehandelt.

[Bayernfan]

Anyone know what trophy that might be in the 2002/3 pic? Can't be anything significant.

[aloisius]

It looks like the intercontinental cup but they won that the year before.

fcbayern.de (http://www.fcbayern.de/) is adding a premium service, FCB Champions, to the Web site. For €30 per year one will have access to the full game (streamed) 90 minutes after the match. Video highlights will also be available, as well as other premium content.

Only rumour was Kuffour to Real Madrid but that was quickly dispelled so I doubt it

Only 30 minutes for Bayern to start the season with the traditional loss... :D Regardless, I can't wait.
