Interesting that Sanches is back already. Personally would rather just have the B team playing and try to focus on being 100% healthy for MD1
There's absolutely no reason to rest players who are fit before the season. We should use this to get fit and kick Dortmund's ass.
Dortmund's 11: BVB: Bürki, Passlack, Sokratis, Bartra, Schmelzer, Castro, Rode, Dembele, Kagawa, Ramos, Aubameyang A good line-up I would say.
Not enough creativity in Bayern's lineup. Going to rely on a 33 year old Ribéry, freshly back from injury to be the only playmaker? I guess Carlo doesn't trust Coman yet.
Would Emre Can in his current form have a spot at Bayern? It was probably best that he left for his own development, but I'm a fan of the player he has become and I just wonder if he would compliment our current crop of midfielders
He is again more in the mold of a vidal or a renato sanches, i.e. box to box with a good engine but limited passing and creativity. He is probably worse than both and will always be worse than both, so I'd say no. My ideal midfield recruit would be Koke (who has a 60 mil euro release clause) but I'm not convinced he will leave atletico. He is the perfect profile of what we need, in terms of style and age. Of course, if we can find a better solution, I'd be happy, but this is the upper limit imo.
Am I the only one happy with our midfield? I think the quality is there, form ans some experience is the issue.
Boateng is said to return at our opening Bundesliga match. Sanches is also back running today. I can't wait to see our shape and style with Carlo when everybody is back and fit.
