I really hope they don't sell this in the USA and England. They will be more Bayern haters willing to buy it than fans.

How big exactly is the scarf. If I'm 5'10 and grow maybe another couple o finches, is it gonna be a decent size to actually wear?

The scarf has a regular format, I didn't mesure but it's all like the others, but I've seen, out of FCB fan-shop, better scarfs than this one:)

Beckenbauer Hopeful Of Early Klose Arrival

Beckenbauer is quoted in the ‘Passauer Neue Presse’ as having said that he could not believe Klose would stay with Werder Bremen. ‘I can’t imagine that Bremen would want to keep a player like Klose if they know that he will leave the team at the end of the season. How can they do that?’ He added that he hoped Klose would join Bayern Munich for the start of the season.

Bremen had said last week that the negotiations with Bayern Munich were closed as Bayern did not up their offer for two and a half weeks. They consider the 10 million euros Bayern are said to be offering for Klose as too little.

Bremen said they would only reopen negotiations if they increase their offer and offer German international Lukas Podolski in exchange.

Beckenbauer, however, expects the transfer to be finalised soon as Bremen can’t afford to keep Klose as the fans and members will turn against him.

‘I expect us to come to an agreement,’ he said. He could not rule out that Dutch international Roy Makaay would leave the club as they had so many strikers, ‘but the main thing is that we get Klose.’

Beckenbauer said he was very happy with Bayern’s signings for the new season - amongst them Italian world champion Luca Toni, who joined for 11 million euros and French international Franck Ribery, for whom Bayern paid 25 million euros.

‘You can only congratulate our executive for getting all the players they wanted,’ he said, but added that the new team, on which Bayern spent 53 million euros would not be a guarantee for success.

‘The players we have bought have made us internationally stronger, but that is no guarantee that you will become league champion with a huge pont advantage.’

Beckenbauer expects the team to improve their tactical game plan and to strengthen their defensive play in the new season. ‘In the past season we just gave away too many presents. In every game there were instances, where we just refused to go into one-on-one situations. We need to learn the basics again.’

He said that even though the club had so many stars in the team, there would be no problems. ‘I am sure there will be a fight for places in the team, but that is in the interest of everyone.’
--------------------------------------------

So i guess the Klose deal isn't fully closed? Do you guys think there is still a chance that he will be coming this summer?

Bayern certainly won't increase their offer. 10-12 million is a fair price for a player who will join us next year anyway. It all depends on Bremen now.

It's a win-win-situation for us. If he stays we can lend them our FC Hollywood tag. The tabloids would have a field day all season long.


Oh, and this thread proves that one should never give up on a player. (H)

Contract signed

Zé Roberto seals return to Bayern

http://www.fcbayern.t-com.de/media/images/ex-spieler/200/zeroberto_get_110507_200.jpg

22.06.2007

With a week to go until the players report back to the Säbener Strasse for their first pre-season training session, Bayern have announced their seventh new signing of the summer: after just a year back in his home country of Brazil, Zé Roberto is returning to Munich.

The midfielder, who will be 33 on 6 July, arrives on a free transfer from FC Santos and has been offered a two-year contract until 30 June 2009. The player passed a medical in Munich on Thursday, and inked the deal on Friday. "We're delighted to welcome Zé Roberto back to Bayern. He's technically gifted, he's quick, and he works hard," commented chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Plaudits in home country

Zé Roberto appeared for Bayern between 2002 and 2006, winning the domestic league and Cup double on three occasions (2003, 2005, 2006). However, he was unable to agree a contract extension in Bavaria a year ago, and made the switch to FC Santos. At Pelé's former club, the man capped 86 times by Brazil rapidly developed into the team's most inspired creative influence, leading his side to the Sao Paulo regional championship and the Copa Libertadores semi-finals.

The left-footed player, who failed to make the breakthrough in his home country before moving to Europe in 1997, thus finally earned long overdue public recognition in Brazil. As rumours of his impending departure took on concrete form, Santos fans launched an internet campaign entitled Fica, Zé (Stay, Zé) which attracted more than 17,000 signatories.

End of international career

However, Zé Roberto opted for a move back to Bayern, party because he and his family had felt so much at home in their four years in Munich. "I'm always a little worried for my family in Brazil," he recently told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. Kidnappings involving famous personalities' family members are far from unheard of in the sprawling South American country.

In early June, the player cleared the final hurdle between himself and a return to Munich by calling time on his international career. Bayern had made the offer of a new contract dependent on the decision. "We don't think it's good when a player who's already a little older flies to and fro across the Atlantic five or six times a year," Uli Hoeneß explained.

The new Zé Roberto

Zé Roberto will now spend the next two years fully focused on his club football. "He has class and character, and he speaks German," Ottmar Hitzfeld admiringly declared. The head coach is thoroughly acquainted with the player from his own first spell at the club, although the General will need to become familiar with a renewed and somewhat different Zé Roberto this time round.

At Santos, Zé added to his already glowing reputation as a dribbler and provider with a series of scintillating displays down the inside-left channel, combining goalscoring prowess with a sense of defensive duty. His tally of ten goals and six assists in 35 appearances suggest that the man due back at Bayern next week is something of a 'new' Zé Roberto.

haha damn you stole him from us!

Schalke sold Lincoln for about 6 million EURO to Fenerbahce. Pretty cheap for a good player. I would have taken him for that much had we not signed so many midfielders this summer.

Why the hell did they sell him?

oh and it was to Galatasaray not Fener

Hehe, I was just about to edit my post.

Not sure why the would sell him... pretty stupid if you ask me. They got some 19 year old forward. Maybe they wanted to work around that somehow?

Why the hell did they sell him?

He was being made the scapegoat for their late-season collapse. They played the best football when he was out suspended for a over a month. He had one year left on his contract and asked for too much money, this was the last chance to cash in on him.
It's no coincidence that also Schalke will play without a classic playmaker from now on. It's become too predictable. When you man mark the playmaker the creativity is down to zero. A four man flat midfield or a 4-3-3/4-5-1 seems to be the way to go.

Görlitz has been loaned out to Karlsruhe for a season.

Good for him.

Is there a recall clause or something?

Good for him.

Maybe. I honestly have lost any hope on him since he got injured.:borat:

Is there a recall clause or something?
No, he will be a Karlsruhe player until June 30 2008 no matter what. We have Sagnol, Lahm, Altintop and Lell who can all play RB. That shouldn't be a problem.

It's good that he will finally get regular first team football week in week out. That guy needs playing time. He was an nt player and was about to replace Sagnol in the starting lineup before his injuries. If he gets back to his old form he can be an important squad player for us.

I agree......

I tell you guys that Mats Hummels is a really nice lad, I actually got to met him at a club here yesterday because one of my friends was mixing it up with his girlfriend's sister. Very talkactive, relaxed and down to earth. Too bad he's only drinking coke light ,tho ;)

Hahaha, actually that's great. It shows that he's committed to improving himself athletically instead of going out and drinking on the town. I guess I can see why he's made it this far.

definately. bayern are lying about his height btw, he's 187cm not 192 like the sites say. he said he's playing a lot of hold 'em, hopefully m< friend is gonna date that girl more often so Mats is gonna bring his new first team money to our table ;).

good. as I said he's 187 at best.

confirmed shirt numbers:

#8 Altintop
#15 Ze Roberto
#19 Schaudraff
#20 Sosa
#23 Jansen

I guess that means Klose would get #10.

He's a member of our U17 side. Let's hope he has the same talent as his brother and maybe a slightly better work ethic.

How come at 17 he hasn't asked to be traded already?
