“Pep Guardiola: Julian Green deserves Bayern shot” http://www.socceramerica.com/articl...green-deserves-bayern-shot.html?edition=12291 If he can’t stick with Bayern’s Bundesliga squad this season, it’d be nice if they loaned him out to another D1 squad in the Bundesliga or another D1 Euro league. At this point he just needs lots of game-time minutes in order to continue the good development track he’s been on the past few years. The article mentions a knee injury, so Green may miss playing in some of these early exhibitions in the U.S., unfortunately.
Agreed. Avoiding Bayern's reserves and hopefully going to play in a top flight league (even if it's mid to lower table, as long as he plays lots of minutes), will be really important for JG at this stage of his player development.
Nothing wrong with slowly developing into a reliable player at Bayern. Hopefully he gains a lot from playing with some of the best wingers in the world. He is still only 19. As long as he starts playing regularly by 2017, it will be great. Just remember another youth player at a big club with the same coach Bayern currently has, has been bouncing around. ....... Bojan
Personally, i think ol' Roberto Martinez needs another wunderkind loanee like he had last term from Barcelona (Deulofeu) to shore up his flanks. Would be a perfect situation for Julian at Everton for a year loan.
I put my faith that Pep knows how to develop him and bring him along slowly. Pedro and Busquets were reserve team players that came up through Pep.
There were worst things said about Julian Green, it was almost like the Bayern board here after the roster announced and Donovan wasn't on it... Just like Donovan, Julian Green was the scapegoat for their dislike of Jurgen. Funny, how history repeats itself.
I'm not sure if you are referring to me as one of those posters, but I certainly stated that JG should not have been on the roster of 23 - That there were better choices. At the same time, in most of those posts, I also stated that I was excited to see what he could do in the upcoming Olympics qualifiers, Gold Cup, etc. It's not one of those, "you are either with me, or against" me type deals. One can still feel there were better choices for the 23 and still be very excited how Green develops in the future. Now, there might be some posters who felt all Green would ever be, was a 4th division player, but I'd say that the vast majority that didn't think he was ready for Brazil '14, also thought that he'd probably eventually turnout to be a hell of a player.
Just being held out of a few practices, Pep said he should be good for the friendlies if things go according to plan
No, wasn't you. I have no problem with those who thought he shouldn't be on the 23 due to better choices. I'm referring more to those who said, as I pointed out, he's a USL level player and attacked him as a player and pretended BM and Pep have no idea what they're doing or what they're seeing. Some made it a fair amount more personal than "he's not one of our top 23". Doesn't just go for a few around here either, same applies to schmucks like Simon Borg.
Whew . . . Cause I did think there could have been better choices for the 23. I just didn't think JG was ready. However, in a handful of my posts, I would also state that I was excited to see him grow through the next few years to a player that we are REALLY excited about. Can't wait and I do hope they don't rush him along - Good point by some of the posters.
You were, to be fair, sometimes a bit more definitive about him not being ready for the WC, iirc. Which is not the end of the world, I wrote a few places that I was fine bringing him but I probably wouldn't have done it, but you I think you are walking your more definitive posts re. Green back a few steps, fwiw.
Correct. But as I've posted before, I'm super excited to now see him grow into an impact, must-start player during the next couple of years. What he does this fall will be the first step toward that success we all hope he reaches.
Here's another interesting article . . . Julian Green pros vs. cons with Bayern http://www.espnfc.us/club/bayern-mu...with-bundesliga-club-bayern-munich-in-2014-15
In regards to the con of Peps patience: Green doesn't seem to have the same ego/attitude that Ibra and Bogan did or do. I can't pretend to be in the know on this, but maybe his eagerness to learn is a benefiting factor in Greens favor to keep him around. I am excited to see where this goes. Hopefully he continues to develop as a player, no matter where it is at. Loan or not, he just needs to continue to progress. If this happens, he will benefit the USMNT.
Peps history at developing players and Bayerns history at developing players is the perfect situation for Green. I wouldn't mind a loan, but it should only be for one year. As much time he can get in Bayern will be the best for him.
As an Everton and US fan I would love this but I'm not sure that he would fit. If rumors are correct we just bought a starlet (David Henen) who will play in one of the forward positions. There is also rumor that we are going after Traore (meh) again. If that is the case, we would have Mirallas, Naismith, Henen, Traore, Kone, and Conor McAleny (lol hope it works out for him but not to confident). Not to mention that McGeady also plays up at times again. So while a cool idea, I don't see unless Pep reaches out to Roberto about Green specifically.
Few quotes, but it sounds like he doesn't want a loan http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/66/u...-julian-green-ready-to-fight-for?ICID=HP_HN_1
