Fichajes del Bayern de Múnich y rumores XX

This position might be left for Thiago and Goetze to fight it out.

 

The core of the team should be German and that hasn't changed , the heart of the team is Lahm, Müller and Neuer.

In terms of on the field play, Schweini was relatively expendable based on who we have playing there and assuming normal injury amounts. While I'd much rather have him here than not, his absence isn't going to be an unfillable hole in the midfield

 

Götze being an 8 would be a novelty, besides we usually play two 8 at the same time and only one 6. Also we have ample evidence by now how much we cannot replace Thiago when injured. Signing a quality 8 is a must

 

If Eberl's public outcry is any sign then we were interested in Mönchengladbach's Granit Xhaka but I don't know if he's a player who would have helped us.

 

Reeks of such a 2006 signing. If we can't get Kovacic, don't even bother trying to buy another CM.

 

Kovacic is such a raw talent that he would hardly see any time on the pitch at this point in his development. I doubt he's a suitable candidate.

If Kicker's report is to be believed, Pep is going to upgrade Alaba's role in midfield which is also the player's great wish and a move that has been coming for quite a while.

Though I still expect another top-class addition to the roster. Alaba can't play everywhere.

 

I'm kind of on the bubble...

On one hand I want to see what kind of midfield we can be with martinez-Alaba-Thiago-gotze-hoj-kimmich combination.

A 2-3 mixture of any of those is intriguing.

On the other hand, we may end up like last season and we don't have any WC level replacements

 

bro-gba

 

How much do you rate Pedro ?

 

As much as I rate Martha Stewart's uterus which is 0

 

Not really, Barca made him. Don't think he would be a good addition.

 

are we a top 3 club or a merry band of youth wannabes? Seriously Bayern can't afford to go all in on youth unless they don't care about their position in Europe. Bayern needs youth for sure especially in the rebuild and longterm but the short term help needs to come externally. As we simply should not kidd ourselves here Kimmich only has 2nd league exp and PEH played a half season BL regularly if those are the two we want rely upon immediately in all competitions we are going to do them no good

 

imo the belgian is probably the reason the FO would have liked for Schweini to stay till his contract's up, since that has happened they have to move their arses

 

Who's out there though? All the good players seem available next season

 

I would not be against seeing Alaba as a midfield staple. That being said, would be still need a FB replacement who can play left and right, or is midfielders Lahm and Alaba enough cover for the fullbacks so our biggest needs are still CM and LW?

 

Took me a while, but I was able to find where the "Romance language" meme comes from again

Humin has been using it sarcastically ever since

 

no he isnt, its quite obvious the guy is being serious

 

Thank god you found it, I was wondering who posted it. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on bigsoccer.

 

Lahm..was the DM...who ever thought it was a great idea needs to be spanked. Now Lahm wants to play as a DM everyday now over his LB.

Take the best LB in the world...and make him play DM..while making him believe that he is best at DM.

WTF PEP...thank you.

 

you can't say that.

in 2000/01 sure, a big part of the team wasn't german. But the dominating figures were all German. Kahn, Effenberg, Scholl, Linke, and Hitzfield.!!!
besides, Lizarazau and Salihamidic were pretty much adopted german with Owen coming from the youth system here.
that makes 7 out of 11..players very germanic. that was our identity.

Ribery is pretty much an adopted german as well.

 

I shall write a thesis paper:
