Looks like there is another competition for Bayern, Kahn, Lahm and Schweinsteiger are heavily involved.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2011/08/19/2626315/lahm-schweinsteiger-dont-believe-in-leadership-kahn-is-a

the story has born some days ago but i'm not sure its true, strange kahn to declare similar things about his old companies, sure the papers are building on it......:blush:

I haven't seen Hamburg play, but I highly doubt Tore and Sala are starters. That said, they have a lot of talent, and I expect them both to become at the least, decent squad players for midtable teams at some big league.

Mancienne is a decent versatile defender, he's a utility player and I dunno how good Hamburg are ight now, but he'd make a good player for a bottom table English team, so any midtable team would be a good fit for him as a bench player.

And Bruma got talent bitch, I expect him to play well these 2 seasons and then comke and stake a starting spot at Chelsea.

They don't play well at all. Defense is woeful and the midfield is not creative at all. The first choice wingers and strikers are all injury prone and inconsistent.

These youngsters maybe good but take a look at the players they have let gone......Mathijsen, Ze Roberto, Van Nistelrooy, Alex Silva, Pitroipa, Trochowski and a host of others(not so important). All of the names mentioned were experienced and important first teamers except Alex Silva.

Yes, I personally hope Bruma establishes himself there so he can break into the Dutch team.

ah ok, sincerely dont know my friend........:-)

No problem man. Hope you don't mind on the off topic discussion. I was just curious to know what they were up to. I thought they had resources good enough to grow the team and expand the Bundesliga even more along with Schalke, Wolfsburg etc. I personally believe Bundesliga has the best infrastructure for football.

its true np(Y)

I see that Bruma, Mancienne and Tore are playing/played against you guys, I'm seeing 3-0 before halftime, but I'd rather watch Blackurn-Villa.

Thoughts on those guys? Especially Bruma. Shocked that Tore is starting against Bayern, but he isn't our player anymore.

All of Hamburg has been anonymous. Bayern are ripping them apart. Robben had a real beauty of a goal, splitting 2 defenders and then a nice chip of the keeper from the right corner of the 6 yard box into the far post.

Robben goals are mostly fantastic, Gomez scored as well, he badly needed that.

5-0, too nice expecially with HSV!!!!!!!!(Y)(Y)(Y)

Good FCB, very bad HSV, try pagelle:

NEUER 6,5
RAFINHA 6,5
V.BUYTEN 7,5
BADS 7
LAHM 7,5
TYMO 7
SCHWEINI 7
ROB 8
MÜLLER 7

GOMEZ 6,5

Couldn't watch the game but saw the highlights. Robben is well Robben.

So its pretty much like Hamburg are planning for a 2nd division trip.

You have a bigger squad this year in terms of quality, it gives you more options.

we hope........(Y)

just watched the whole game, Muller and Gomez missed so many chances, Olic looked more clinical in front of goal in that short period.

Dortumnd and Goetze looked impressive again.

Bad News:

Bayern Munich's Ivica Olic out for eight weeks with hip injury

it was very strange no great injuries til now....ok olic out bis oktober, who'll be the next? consider that robben and ribery are injured for the 60% of the season......merda-

Olic injured, is not news to anyone

Olic injured, is not news to anyone

ja but this situation creates a great trouble to us, Ivica is the 1st choice after Gomez or after Robbery on the wings, we lose a very very important player, and knowing Bayern sure it'll be not the last injury, wait the national teams matches..........:clapwap:

lol guys I heard a rumour today, Rummenigge declaired that maybe Olic will be substituted by a new player, maybe, and I read rumours about Drogba ehehehehe:biggrinx:

No.

he will be 10 weeks away?

he will be 10 weeks away?

around 7/8:-(

why? Rob ist fit.........:blush:

GOMEZ MACHT ALLES KLAR, KÖNIGSKLASSE, WIR KOMMEN!!!!!!!!:33vff3o:

Yeah, never in doubt.

Gómez sucks, you should play Ribéry false 9 and Müller - Robben wings. False 9 everywhere. Then sign Montolivo, he is a good playmaker and you need some more creativity in the midfield.

The way things are you could get Van Persie

Gómez sucks, you should play Ribéry false 9 and Müller - Robben wings. False 9 everywhere. Then sign Montolivo, he is a good playmaker and you need some more creativity in the midfield.

Ribery can't play there IMO. We also wouldn't need Montolivo because we have Kroos.

Franck looks really good today though. Don't know if I've seen him this lively since his legendary first season in Munich.

Ribery putting on a show here as the game winds down. Hope he can get a goal.

Ribery can't play there IMO. We also wouldn't need Montolivo because we have Kroos.

Why not? i haven't follow him very much but i think he likes to play more centered (didn't he said that?) and have good passing skills + dribbling.

He's the kind of player who has really good games (like today) and then other times when you barely know he's on the pitch; he's also injury prone, and I don't think we could count on him for goals. I just don't think it would work. Plus, I like Robbery on the wings, it's a good system and I don't want to mess with it. Muller is really good as Attacking Midfielder too, and could probably be a really good striker too kind of like Suarez.

Why Gomez was replaced at half time? Injury?

He's the kind of player who has really good games (like today) and then other times when you barely know he's on the pitch;

That's the main reason i would move him to center. Ribery is too good and have to participate in the game.

He and Robben are free to go in the middle. Ribery isn't "too good" in a team with Robben, Schweinsteiger, and Muller. He's about the same level as those 4, and you can only have so many attacking players.

Why Gomez was replaced at half time? Injury?

Na, he needed to take a rest, and Arnau sure he dont suck.......:rolleyes:

Another clean sheet for Neuer and Defence team, 4th in a row.
He looked well settled there.

Another clean sheet for Neuer and Defence team, 4th in a row.
He looked well settled there.

seems ja:-)

Gomez (3 goals in 6 matches) and the first Bayern player to score in all competitions and still lot's of hate.

Neuer really seems to have an effect on Badstuber too. He looks like another person.

It was a very good transfer.

Neuer is a little reckless coming off his line, but I think it's because he can get bored playing for Bayern because he sees so little of the ball. That was responsible for the only goal conceded so far; I don't think there was any reason for him to come so far off his line there, and yesterday he came far out and punched a ball right to a Zurich player, but he shot extremely wide.

But obviously he's a huge upgrade over Butt or Kraft. When he gets a few more years under his belt, because he's still quite young for a top keeper, he's going to be just like Kahn.

yeah, he's just 25, he can easily be Bayern's number 1 keeper for 10 years.

Nim, Neuer kind Oliver Kahn? U have to wait 14 years lol.......anyway I've seen Badstuber very better, more quiet and secure, v.Buyten too I hope he'll stay with us again, Boateng is a great defender, the trouble is Breno who really sucked last year, shame he's still 21 old.....Lahm is a magician, so Rafinha ok but think with Kaiserslautern Contento could have the chance to play in the starting line giving Lahm a break, Gustavo is getting better, Ribery einer Traum, only one shame: Ivica Olic...... and Robben always injured, not now but during the season he'll surely pause sometimes........

Ribery a dream? You cant be serious. Hes still lightyears away from his game 2 years ago.

Ribery a dream? You cant be serious. Hes still lightyears away from his game 2 years ago.

I've seen him very well in the last matches, maybe we saw different games....of course I exagerate but I feel good with Frenk......

Anyway today Rummenigge has declaired NO NEW PLAYERS to replace Olic, what it means? That our management sucks, a big team cant have a roster so thin, fanculo-:icon_spin:

We're fine, this is why we have Petersen.

Perfect house warming gift for myself to be honest. You just gave me a idea my good friend Paolo. I'm moving to NYC in 3 days. (college completely finished) How's everything? I miss coming by here. So I'm sad that Bayern didnt plan a US tour? Also I think it would do best for the kid if Breno was loaned out. Bayern's South American scouting hasn't been top shape in a while. Has to be fixed asap.

Vince :clapwap:

No excuse with the bigsoccer switch. I go there too but I still come back to my beloved SG family.

Lahm and Ribery as far as I can tell, so I assume it's good.

i know dude, i was joking.........:-)

So Bundesliga again, day 4, FC K'lautern gegen die Bayern, we miss Olic of course, and of course Robben so dont consider him as Kicker says in the starting line..........

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8774/immagineve.jpg

........consider too that Rafinha will play RB and maybe Contento LB to give Lahm a break-

Robben got troubles with his balls, Gomez too is doubtfoul for Lautern, please please guys.......

"Nice" group. Whaddaya say, boys :blush:

Really tough group. Feel a bit screwed.

Thoughest UCL group in years, since they removed second stage groups.

Man, i feel bad for Villarreal.

Ins CL 1st match in Villareal 14.September, then Napoli and City, good group very high level, hope to qualify, wir sind FCB!(Y)......but.....I really dont care so much about the champions league.......:rolleyes:

Just knock the C*NTS out.... I hope you know who they are

There's really no where for me to put this, so I'll do it here:

Hannover knocked Sevilla out of the Euro League today! Absolutely amazing job by them the past 13 months, and I think Cherundolo might be the captain although I'm not positive on that.

@Nim- Who is Hannover's coach? They seem to be doing really well consistently.

Another thing is how are these two players.....Schmelzer(BvB) and Aogo(HsV)??

Schmelzer is "Mr. Consistency". Not flashy, but he's reliable, he plays every game and does generally what you want from a left back at this level.

Aogo, I don't know much about really, I know he's versatile and strong, but Hamburg have sucked pretty hard the past few years, so I haven't been paying much attention to them.

Oh K thanks.

Hamburg is gonna struggle big time. That Frank Arnesen or something is hell bent on proving that his former Chelsea youngsters are the real deal.

Yeah, he'll definitely play.

Yeah, he'll definitely play.

dont know, only know we miss Robben again........:clapwap:

will u watch the game dude?:-)

Yeah I think I probably will. 8:30am here is tough, but I'll try. My computer is right on my bed, so I just have to turn off the alarm, turn on the game, and slowly come to.

(Y)

Is Rafinha injured? This is the second game that Boateng has played right back. He must be pissed.

1-0

Gomez (pen)

I gotta say, at one point Kaiserslautern had a long shot on a counter attack, which was a pretty good shot, but handled very easily by Neuer. And I realized that I was not worried at all even when the guy was lining up the shot, or even when the ball dipped in front of Neuer. Which made me very happy, because I've been nervous about a lot of stuff ever since Kahn retired. NEUER!!!

Do you get assists for winning a penalty? I know in FM you do...

2-0 Gomez

Saved penalty, but tapped it in off the rebound. Bastard taking away Muller's assist. The kid has won 2 penalties today; he's just the kind of guy defenders like to foul it seems. Having a super awkward body and legs doesn't hurt either I would imagine.

3-0

Gomez x3

He's baaaaack!!!!

And I believe that's Muller with another assist. Because he's awesome.

Well, let's hope Tymo wasn't seriously injured by that little dickwad with a late challenge in the 90th minute. Straight red, no stoppage time, game immediately over.

Hi Nim, sorry if I leave u all alone but happy u've watched the game, no Rafinha is not injured, Boateng Rb is been a strangge decision of Heynckes, anyway the match hasnt been so good but we have deserved to win, Lautern did nothing, only one trouble: u've seen without Robben what a mess, Alaba really sucks in that position, anyway 3-0 is 3-0 so ok this way......:-)

Alaba isn't terrible, he's a hard worker and capable. He's just obviously not Robben. And he doesn't have the ability to dribble cut inside either, so using him on the right is kind of a joke. I think he'd be good on the left.

Boateng as right back... I have a feeling he'll be having some rough words with the Board if this continues. He didn't leave City to play fullback, in fact that's the reason he left City in the first place.

And btw... Top of the table!! Best defense, best attack. This season is going to be one of those "Empire Strikes Back" years in the Bundesliga.

Looks like it. If that means we use the dark side of the force, so be it.(Y)

I'm already planning on us not spending a cent next summer. Maybe a free transfer or two like Olic. Then 2013 will be Hummels if he hasn't left for abroad yet and probably a winger or two. Gomez, it would seem, is here to stay.

Nim, consider next year we'll be losing Tymo and Olic for free, their contract will expires.......

Tymo will probably go, but if Olic comes back from injury well in the second half of the season I think we'll give him another year.

3-0

Gomez x3

He's baaaaack!!!!

And I believe that's Muller with another assist. Because he's awesome.



He seems to be happy to be in Team Skip. (H)

Nucka it was 2 penalties, one he actually had saved, but it rebounded back at him. Muller was the star of this one.

But yeah, he's a guy who thrives on confidence. If he's moping around he is horrendous.

Tymo will probably go, but if Olic comes back from injury well in the second half of the season I think we'll give him another year.

Agree, but Ivica will be back soon, in october, anyway I really dont want to see again Boateng als RB, we've Rafinha, Boateng must play CB, I still think we'd need a replacement for Robben, u see he cannot play many games......:-(

Yeah, but you can't spend that kind of money on a backup for Robben. You either give the impressing that you're trying to replace him, or you're spending too much money on someone who might not play very often. Muller is the backup for Robben. We need a versatile attacker who can play 3 or 4 attacking positions. I hate to say this, but someone like Jefferson Farfan.

From a Bundesliga blog, naming their team of the week

The great thing about Müller is his sheer unpredictability. Equally as comfortable out wide as he is in the middle, Müller can be hard to handle for opposing defenders. Kaiserslautern found that out first hand on Saturday, unable to cope with the lively Müller from start to finish. The Bayern attacker won both penalties and set up the third goal in their 3-0 win, running his heart out in the process. (match high covered distance of 11.76 km and 16 sprints) It is no coincidence that Gomez scores in bulks when he has Müller playing alongside him or that Heynckes considers this their best performance to date this season.

I ******* love him. Really wish he would wear 13 for Bayern though.

but Heinckes played with a left footed player kind Alaba when we miss Robben and its a total stupidity, we played 10 vs 11 in Lautern, tx God we won ok anyway Farfan would be great, shame he plays with Scheisse04.....consider we spent around zero in 2009 and 2010 cause van Gaal so now we have lots of money......:blush:

"Around zero" in 2009? WHAT!? Gomez, Robben, Pranjic, Braafheid, Baumjohann, Tymo, and Olic were all signed in 2009.

"Around zero" in 2009? WHAT!? Gomez, Robben, Pranjic, Braafheid, Baumjohann, Tymo, and Olic were all signed in 2009.

Baumjohann and Olic came 4 free, we still, didnt pay 4 Robben, true we payd 30 millions 4 Supermario and 10 4 Tymo, and we lost money for those 2 craps of Braafheid and Pranjic tx van Gaal, u got reason, but we gain something selling away Lucio, Borowski and dont remember who else, in 2010 we spent zero cause we got no new players tx van Gaal, consider that anyway we have lots of money.....

So, Deutschland 6-Austria 2 with 7 Bayern Spieler: Neuer, Bads, Boateng in the 2nd half, Schweini, Kroos, Lahm, Müller, very nice(Y)

God, Germany just looks amazing. Really think they'll win Euro #4 next summer. Spain seems like the only competition... MAYYYYBE Holland.

Bayern in for Gotze?

Jesus Christ dude, don't believe everything you read. Gotze will never come to Bayern. The ONLY possibility would be if he goes abroad and fails to establish himself and then looks for a move back to Germany.

You think if I believed everything I read then I would bother to enquire? I just read in goal.com(obviously they twist stuff like anything) Hoeness speaking of the possibility and BvB denying it. I just asked do they want him or not.

My guess is that the Hoeness quote is fabricated if there indeed is one.

EDIT: Yeah just read the story. Hoeness is pretty much in line with what I say, although he also mentions a possible Bosman move when his contract runs out in 2014. Nothing to see here really.

Probably. Is there anything in the German media? It should have generated a lot of attention.

I think the Vidal saga would encourage other clubs in such situations.

Götze will never play for Bayern, next year he'll join a big team for almost 50/60 millions, he's the new Messi.....:-):rolleyes:

I hope he stays at Dortumnd, I'm sick of current football monopoly.

I hope he stays at Dortumnd, I'm sick of current football monopoly.

Jefferson Farfan.


Not happening, EVER. He won't sell out and wont jump to another German club. Especially when he's so passionate about rivals.

maybe, knowing the coach sure Alaba will be in the starting line, Gomez is injured and he missed the games with Germany but there's a very little chance to watch him on the pitch or on the bench, me too I'd prefere Müller CF....

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/834/immagineicq.jpg

Boateng is fast, and Neuer is quick off his line. I'm not worried about balls over the top like I was last year. Should be a nice win, 3-1 I say.

1-0

Who else? Gomez.

BEAUTIFUL through ball by Muller to put Kroos one on one, who squared it to Gomez who was left with the simplest of finishes.

Oh mamma mia what a Bayern!!!!!!

(H)!!!!!!!

2-0 Ribery. Maybe offsides.

3-0 Ribery.

Wonder goal. Ribery is in the form of his life right now. I don't think he has been this good ever, and that is really saying something.

Oh mamma mia what a Bayern!!!!!! Funny, solid, fit, perfect, ready, Supermario and Ribery twice machen alles klar, only the referee is sucking, lets go Bayern!!!!!!!!!!!!(Y)

So, Halftime 3-0 up, and just absolutely cruising. Bayern playing some dream football today with just about every touch being perfect. Ribery is in a free role which is absolutely terrorizing Freiburg; he comes wide left when the ball is over there, but when it's not he just roams all around and lets Lahm provide the width.

They're combining so well, the movement is orgasmic at times, there's imagination, creativity, chances being taken with some great attacking thrusts. Didn't think this team had it in them, but wow we look great.

And I don't think Freiburg have had anything even approaching a chance at the other end. I think 1 shot on goal from 25 yards out, which could have been problems for a lesser keeper, but Neuer made it look as easy as a lobbed throw.

4-0 Gomez from Ribery. Lazy left back, completely ruined the offside trap. If Magath was his manager he would be getting a HUGE fine.

Streaming, but I'm an idiot, I can use ESPN3, so I'll make the switch here at halftime for better quality and English commentary.

if u have a good streaming u'r ok dude, so.........ops 4-0!!!! I'm following Celtic too lol(Y)

5-0 Gomez on a fluke.

Time to bring on Alaba, Usami, Peterson and rest up the guys for Villarreal this week.

In the Romania thread they are saying Ribery didn't have a good game for France last week. And its only Freiburg man... wait till they do that to a top team just to truly figure out where they are at. And I think I said it before but Muller looks like an alcoholic farmer from Romania.

Ribery doesn't give a **** for France anymore. I think that's been clear for some time. He's been in this form for Bayern all season; I guess we haven't played great competition, but Robben's been out, and teams have been free to cheat their defense to his side.

5-0 Gomez on a fluke.

Time to bring on Alaba, Usami, Peterson and rest up the guys for Villarreal this week.

I'd push into the field Contento, Lahm needs a rest, but ok Alaba and Petersen......:-)

edit-yes, Diego Contento is coming 4 Lahm!(Y)

There you go Paolo, Lahm is out, so 30 minutes off for him today. Seemed to pick up a knock early, but has gutted it out and looked generally fine. Contento on, will be glad to see how he looks, it's been awhile.

You'll never believe this, but Muller won a penalty!

6-0 (good pick Paolo!!!)

Gomez x4

"Totalkool Mario Gomez" after he scores the re-take after scoring the original penalty.

I sayd u my friend 6-0 lol(Y)(Y)(Y)

So, Alaba and Petersen on the pitch, out for Gomez and Frenck, sincerely I could only give 10 to them ja!!!!!!:33vff3o:

Yeah, Ribery was an 11 today.

In the Romania thread they are saying Ribery didn't have a good game for France last week. And its only Freiburg man... wait till they do that to a top team just to truly figure out where they are at.

I don't know who did have a good game there. But I think Ribery was their most dangerous man on that pitch.

And I think I said it before but Muller looks like an alcoholic farmer from Romania.

(H)

You'll never believe this, but Muller won a penalty!


haha, what a cheater! (H)

7-0 Peterson with the last touch. Awesome. And really the Freiburg keeper had an okay game. Some good saves at the end.

Na ja but I missed my prediction lol:biggrinx:

Very happy 4 Petersen, he deserved it, Alaba too has showed his qualities in the 20 minutes played, try "pagelle" but too hard this game, last 7-0 I was into the Allianz Arena, 17 april 2010 with Hannover......

I'd put Gustavo 7.5 or 8 and Boateng too although he didn't do much I guess. I really really love Luiz Gustavo. He's going to get his recognition all over the world this year; we'll see him for Brazil in the next World Cup without a doubt.

Gomez 10 goals so far should silent all previous critics.

As I understood it, no one ever doubted Gomez's ability, just whether he's the right striker for Bayern.

Gomez 10 goals so far should silent all previous critics.

When he's scoring, I'm one of his biggest fans. The problem is that when he's not getting goals he doesn't do anything else; starts moving less, can't pass, and generally gets in the way.

Anyway, this team just looks phenomenal. Gomez is moving around, and the midfield must just be hell for opposing teams to deal with; Ribery, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, and Muller can all essentially play all of each other's positions, and they're moving all around. The solid defense is the start of it though, it gives them the confidence to do it... Boateng has been a revelation, he is so comfortable on the ball it calms everyone else down in situations that last year would have been PANIC!!!!, Neuer absolutely commands his box like no other keeper in the world does right now, save perhaps a healthy Buffon, and Luiz Gustavo will be another Makelele (quintessential team player, phenom DM defender).

totally agree dude(Y)

Robben out in Villareal, so declaired Herr Doktor Müller Wohlfarth, dont know if he can play next sunday in Gelsenkircken, shame, great shame, when fit he's the best, so lets go Arjen, and soon we'll have Ivica Olic back......

Every time Robben visits Wohlfarth he's out indefinitely. My disappointment at possibly disputed injuries is making me question this guy who has been called a hack in the past.

I was calling for Boateng to be signed ;) lol. I really think if you just add 2 or 3 more players you can have one of the very very best teams.

We'd only need another defender, a replacement for Robben and maybe another winger.....

Yes, a top class cb should be priority. Can't really say about replacing Robben but maybe you do need one more striker if Olic doesn't regain his previous form and maybe another back up midfielder or two.

It's a depth issue really, and even that is improved over last season with Alaba back. I'd put our starting 11 up against any team in the world that isn't Madrid or Barca.

Yeah, I meant very very best as in Barca and Madrid. You guys are really close to them. Just add that top quality centre back and quality depth and you have a team to beat.

Players need to be fit, but again we're better than last year. Kroos is the first reserve and he would start for all but maybe 5 clubs in the world.

Anyway, Ribery says he feels the best he's felt in 2 years and took a subtle shot at van Gaal. He absolutely should be of course, because if LvG was stifling this level of creativity for his precious "pass the ball sideways" system then something was very wrong.

Yeah, I meant very very best as in Barca and Madrid. You guys are really close to them. Just add that top quality centre back and quality depth and you have a team to beat.

The difference between us and Barca/Madrid isn't in the 11th starter, it's in the 1st guy on the sheet. We're close to Madrid at all positions, but we don't have a Ronaldo, we don't have a Xavi or a Messi, and in all likelihood we never will. For that reason, no matter what we do, unless we develop someone like that, which is unlikely, we will always be in the next group of teams.

The solid defense is the start of it though, it gives them the confidence to do it... Boateng has been a revelation, he is so comfortable on the ball it calms everyone else down in situations that last year would have been PANIC!!!!haha, the enthusiasm! someone's still getting carried away after that 7-0 against Freiburg ... :-D

did you see the late penalty was conceded against Poland? guess whose hesitation and miscommunication with the goalkeeper led to that? hint: a similar level of hesitation and miscommunication from this player also led to an embarrassing goal against 'Gladbach ...

such basic stuff as a CB is what he still lacks, mainly due to his lack of experience playing in that position ... when/if he corrects these small but significant things, the optimism you're showing will be justified (Y) ...

Nope, FC Bayern is not that kind of team, in our history if we have a superstar he always borned into the team since he was very very young, we never spent lots of money for one player only kind Barça or Real can do......:-)

This one I don't put on Boateng actually. Wiese was too far out. I actually thought Boateng would have got to the ball first, or at least made it very hard for the Polish player to do anything with the ball, but he turned around and saw the keeper charging for the ball and backed off. The one against Gladbach was similar, although I thought he was beaten. Either way, his calmness on the ball is something very new for Bayern center backs, as is his pace, and I noticed that right away with him; maybe not the Gladbach game because I was extremely drunk, but definitely Matchday 2. He didn't show much defending yesterday, just comfort with the ball.

That's not really accurate, Bayern has been poaching all the best players from the rest of the Bundesliga since the 70s at least. I mean, just in the last few years, Neuer, Ribery, Robben, Gomez, Toni, and Klose have all come in when they were already established as stars. We just don't have a chance at a "transcendent talent" unless we develop one. Although I suppose Ozil might be on his way, and I think we were reasonably close to getting him.

I'm focussing on his [perceivable] intellectual capabilities/limitations as he develops ...

the confidence/self-assuredness factor I have witnessed with his half-brother too, since the 2010 World Cup ... it is innate, and it is awesome ...

I don't think I'm focusing too much on his physical abilities, and when I am it's because he brings something that the club has lacked for years. He's not John Terry, but his mentality and instincts seem very well suited to central defense.

More similar to Man Utd then. That maybe one of the reasons of you and Manutd being hugely successful in your respective leagues but not so much(Barca/Real like) in Europe. United had a Cristiano when the last won the CL.

I didn't really get the Ozil thing you said.

bdw, Why not try and get some upcoming superstar like Hazard?(watch his last two goals if you want) Paolo was talking about replacing Robben so that would great. The kid is great but has a bad attitude though.

Robben is 27 years old and we have Kroos and Muller. Paolo is overreacting.

Poet, I dont want to replace Robben (I want him in München til the end his career) but I'd only wish to have a really good substitute when he's injured kind now, our trouble is that we have to change totally our way to play with Robben is one way, without him its another way, this looks at me strange.....:-)

edit-the same 4 Nim-

Injury free Robben is 3rd best player in the world IMO.

Injury free Robben is 3rd best player in the world IMO.

who's 1st and 2nd? Messi and CR7 I guess.......

@Nim- I was saying like if you need a super player why not try and get somebody who is up and coming? You said currently you need someone like Messi/Ronaldo to take you to the next level so I was saying you should go for players like that.

@Paolo- Yeah I get that but I was like gradually replacing him with some up and coming super player.

@Horatiu- True me thinks.

No up-and-coming super player will come to sit on the bench for another 3 years, although it's a special case with Robben because he's injured so much.

Robben is 27 years old and we have Kroos and Muller. Paolo is overreacting.

+ Borja Valero is suspended which is a seriously blow for Villarreal.

Injury free Robben is 3rd best player in the world IMO.

Even if that's true, the distance between 2 and 3 is vast.

No up-and-coming super player will come to sit on the bench for another 3 years, although it's a special case with Robben because he's injured so much.

Who said he needs to sit on the bench for another 3 years? Just play the guy when Arjen is injured and show his super quality. Knowing Robben he is gonna start bitching in no time.

Because he's still a ******* backup. Bayern isn't going to pay the wages someone like that will demand to sit on the bench, and someone like that isn't going to accept a backup role. It makes no sense. Even with Robben's injury history, he's still put together healthy stretches; just for example, this backup would not have got a single game in 2009/2010, or any in the second half of 10/11. Just stop it. And the backup is already here, it's Kroos/Muller, are you suggesting THEY aren't good enough? Paolo just wants more depth, but depth doesn't mean, oh let's spend 30m and 100k/week on one of the most promising young talents in the world to play them behind Robben/Ribery/AND Muller (Kroos plays AMC and Muller replaces the injured wing). Stop it.

ja I want more depth without spending lots of money.......

On another note, did you guys see this yesterday? (H)

http://i.imgur.com/SgnTk.jpg

It's a Middle Finger American Flag shirt, I assume for 9/11. Absolutely hilarious to see.

When I saw "did you guys see this yesterday?" I looked and thought the guy with the gay leg cross had his hand on the other guy's crotch.

As far as I know, our Croatians aren't gay for each other.

WTF thats Olic, I didn't even recognize him. He looks younger.

He looks like Andy Roddick.

Edit: btw, that hand looks suspicious ;).

Funny thing is Real and Barca actually cant afford such sums, Bayern could. In matters of debts i mean. Hoeness said lately something like "We pretty much could pay around 80 mill. for one player without any kind of struggle. We just dont see anyone really worth that much who would be available. Maybe in a couple of years."

Obviously talking about Gotze or Ozil.

its strange but true, u got reason Melvin, but our management will never spend 80 millions 4 only one player, we never did so since I follow FC Bayern (around 42 years), our financial politic is very different if u consider the most expensive deal in our history has been Mario Gomez payd 30 millions €.....

Obviously talking about Gotze or Ozil.

Nim, is the value of Götze so high to u??????:rolleyes::-)

In a few years maybe. Not now. Could also be the price Dortmund make us pay if he asked for a transfer here.

I'd like to have Götze here but its very hard to think, we'll see......

If the transfer market continues to operate as it does, I think we could see Ronaldo's transfer fee surpassed by a worse player in the next 5 years.

A propos de l'argent......sorry the french kiss lol......Talking about money I remember the last time we won the champions league, these are the players and the price payed, there were no Euros still but DM of course:

OLIVER KAHN, free transfer by KSC in 1994
Willi Sagnol, we paid few money to Monaco, around 1 million in 2000
Bixente Lizarazu, we payd nothing in 1995
Sami Kuffour, with us since he was 17 old, free in 1996
Patrik Andersson, we paid around 1 million in 1999
Thomas Linke, free transfer from Schalke04 in 1999
Owen Hargreaves, from our youth team
Jens Jerry Jeremies, free transfer from 1860 München in 1998
Stefan Effenberg, free transfer from Borussia M. in 1998
Hasan Brazzo Salihamidzic, we payd few money to Hamburg, 1998
Giovane Elber, we paid few money for him to Stuttgart, ok not so few but not more than 5 millions, it was 1997
Mehmet Scholli Scholl, in 1992 free transfer from KSC

there's no doubt about Gotze talent but people are exaggerating his abilities, next Messi, Next Golden Ball .... UCL is a good opportunity for him to prove himself as a new mega star in Europe. I don't buy these price tags till that impression.

I dunno if he's as good as they say, but I'm definitely kind of fed up with the Gotze talk (which I've contributed to), but he's the current 'it' kid.

I think you remember the hype about Robinho "the next Pele", Bojan "the next Messi", David Bentley "the next David B" and ...

Time is the best judge, first he should repeat his success and shine in Dortmund. Also, I don't know why people forgot Sahin affect on Dortmund, they had major problems after his departure, tbh, Gotze was MVP after Sahin and Kawaga last year.

What? Are you serious ? You clearly haven't seen Dortmund play last year. Kagawa (btw it's kagawa not kawaga) was out for half the season and he was better than Gotze ? GTFO
I agree Sahin was very influential in them getting the bundesliga but not so much Kagawa.

Kagawa was the guy people were jizzing over in the first half, then he got injured in the Asian Cup and Gotze surpassed him in the second half. Gotze is obviously much better than Kagawa, but Sahin was the king of that team and he still would be if he was still there.

ja, without Nuri Sahin they didnt win the title last year.....now Götze is the best youngster all over the world!

Lets see, he has a champions league match this week. I hope he does well.

I hope he'll lose.....:blush:

People are putting a lot of pressure on saying that he will be better this year and will get past ozil

No one thinks he'll get past Ozil anytime soon.

good away win for Bayern in a really tough group.

It looks like Kroos will do lots of good this year.

Yeah, Kroos is looking really good. Something about Heynckes that gets the best out of him I guess. Nice to see him score from the run of play too, it's been awhile. The lasting image I have of him is missing an absolute sitter against Spain in the Semi-Finals last summer.

Big away day at Schalke tomorrow, and then hosting Leverkusen during Oktoberfest next Saturday. Schurrle picked up a red card today and will miss the match due to suspension.

really important matches, I guess Bayern peaked at the right time.

We'll see, but I'm glad we host City during Oktoberfest when we're unbeatable (H)

BVB is out of title race so Bayern have only to keep on winning. I hope for an entertaining game against Schalke.

Hahaha, well I hope that's true, but I don't think you can rule them out of the title race this early.

BVB lost a game they had already won and it wasn't the first time. That means something...

Ribéry(H)

You can start freezing the champagne.

God, Ribery is insane. Ridiculous pace to set up that goal; while dribbling he absolutely BURNED the defender, then set up Peterson who nearly blew the chance, but eventually finished.

1-0 at halftime. Go Bayern!

Bayern much improved. I saw the match against Villarreal and get impressed, a favourite for the CL title. Your central defenders Van Buyten and Badstuber are still a weak point.

Ribery has always been one of my favorite players, glad to see he's doing so well this season. The man has quality. Hope he can keep up the good work.

748 minutes without conceding a goal.

Nice finish by Muller to finish the game off and make it 2-0. A bit of a gift, but you still gotta finish them.

most impressive

1 goal in 10 matches. I don't now it's all about Neuer or your coach is genius in defense department.

It's Neuer + Boateng + Gustavo + good coaching. Neuer doesn't actually have all that much to deal with most games, but I'm not the first person to say that playing keeper for a team like Bayern/Barca/United is sometimes harder on keepers because you have so much time to sit back and think and not do anything; you have to concentrate all game even when you might only see the ball 5 times, and it's easy to drift just once and get punished with a goal. He also seems to give confidence to the back line just knowing he's back there.

Schalke fans are such meanies, why boo Manuel Neuer every time he touches the ball?

(H)

Schalke fans are such meanies, why boo Manuel Neuer every time he touches the ball?

(H)

Schalke fans are not the only ones who hate him, the same goes with Bayern fans. I've heard that Bayern fans have prepared him a decalogue which contains commands such as: he can't kiss the club's crest, he can't celebrate with other teammates in front of the fanatics side etc. Is that really true?:read:

Fantastic stuff

In a TV conversation after Sunday's match, Franz Beckenbauer asked if Neuer didn't sometimes feel underemployed, bringing a grin to the player’s face. “It does get a bit boring from time to time," admitted the 25-year-old.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/960273/bayern-munich-ignore-dortmund-warning-over-mario-gotze?cc=5901

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has indicated the club are still keen to sign Mario Gotze despite Borussia Dortmund warning them against making a bid.

Oh you ******* BEAUTY!

Another high profile win and clean sheet. Your Bayern look super impressive right now, I guess it's an alarm for whole Europe.

Btw, Ribery plays so well at the moment.

Yeah and with the champions league final at the Allianz Arena this year I'm very excited.

you should touch wood ;).

I was a bit sceptic about Jupp. But i have to admit, this old sob seems to know the drill :)

Think this is my last post here, LETS GO BAYERN, best luck 4 my friends and a simple fanculo to the others, have fun.....(H)

You're leaving? Aw.

I think we might be good. All this without Robben.

Classy stuff. Just get Citeh out of the CL in the feckin G stages. What a moment that'd be

Like this pic. Poor Muller thinks he's just blown 1-0. Poacher finishing it off.

After the game the interviewer said to Gomez Müller had been already breaking down after his miss in that situation, Gomez replied "Yeah, in his typical way". Funny.
What the **** is going on with Ribery, he worked so hard defensively, i thought Gustavo had become white :)

I think the most amazing part is that our offense really hasn't been great. Robben is out, Muller seems to be a little off form, Kroos is okay, but clearly no replacement for Robben, Schweinsteiger is clearly at his best since 2010, but I wouldn't say he's back there yet... but it doesn't matter. We just keep winning convincingly. It all starts with Neuer. It's amazing that Schalke were so terrible last year with him in goal because I'm having a hard time believing he could EVER concede a goal. It will take another 9 or 10 straight clean sheets for him to set the world record, and I'm probably crazy, but I actually think he could do it if we escape Napoli without conceding.

So I'm going to take this time to think about the 2012 transfer window. Clearly, winter doesn't promise any players coming in as the team looks set with depth.

First thing is that we generally only spend big money every other year. 2009 it was Robben and Gomez. 2011 it was Neuer, Boateng, and Gustavo in the winter.

Tymoschuk's contract is winding down, as is van Buyten's. Their age means that the club has to consider letting them walk. However, I actually think both will be given one year extensions. van Buyten would probably have left if Breno developed this year, but instead he's in a jail cell plotting his suicide. Tymoschuk is the ultimate team player, and still looks to be in good physical condition not withstanding his age.

So with that said, I think the only obvious hole is a replacement for Breno. In my opinion the obvious choice is Dante at Gladbach. He was in a few Team of the Seasons for the Bundesliga last year, and is a big part of Gladbach's phenomenal defensive record so far this season too. He also seems like the kind of player who would accept a backup role, which is important since Badstuber and Boateng is clearly intended to be the partnership of the future. He also speaks German and would be relatively cheap.

We could also make a play for Marco Reus, who is becoming a star at Gladbach of all places and pushing for inclusion in the German National Team; I know I prefer him over Marin and Trachowski already. The only problem there is that he will be a rotation player here; now with Robben in the squad you can maybe count on injuries, so he'd play more than normal, but he would still be essentially the 5th player for the 3 attacking midfield spots. A lot of players have failed to handle this backup role at Bayern, particularly young German players.

I personally would like to see Sven Bender or Yann M'Vila. Luis Gustavo is one of my favorite players and Tymo is a strong backup, but he's still old. However, I think this is something that can get pushed back to what will probably be a big spending year in 2013.


The long term transfer outlook: actually not all that different. I think in 2013 with Ribery and Robben nearing (or maybe at) 30 we'll have to grab a world class attacking midfielder or winger. Marco Reus again is an option here, as would be a plethora of great German players such as Holtby and Schurrle, and of course the crown jewel Gotze. Then I'd say we need a central defender to replace Badstuber (I just don't think he's good enough), and a DM. For central defense, it really just remains to be seen who emerges, although I'd most prefer Mats Hummels (in 2012 as well... ASAP!). For DM, as I've said earlier, I want Yann M'Vila or Sven Bender.

I also think it should be said that at least in my opinion, the long term replacement for Schweinsteiger as the more attacking minded CM is Toni Kroos, and he played in that role next to the more defensive oriented Rolfes for Germany against Poland. Obviously Schweinsteiger has a lot of years in front of him, but it's something that needs to be said. It also opens up a spot for another AM player to fit with essentially Muller, Reus/Gotze/Schurrle/Holtby, and whoever is healthy between Robben and Ribery.

Some people got it all.

Lisa is okay but she's probably in the bottom half of Bayern girlfriends. Hot for sure but the other dudes are nailing like supermodel quality chicks.

looks like a future housewife to me. Btw I feel that Germany and Gomez are gonna pull a big suprise come 2014. He in my opinion is a amazing player and playing in the biggest team in Germany before leaving to another big club outside is bound to happen. The question is whether?

Btw I feel that Germany and Gomez are gonna pull a big suprise come 2014.runners-up, third place, third place in the last 3 World Cups, along with a silver at the last EUROs -- it would only be a surprise if they don't make the semis ...

I've never been the biggest Gomez fan, so if someone came in with a 50m Euro offer (that's probably what it would have to be since we paid like 35 and he has been great for us) I would be thrilled. A cut rate van Persie to replace him would be like a wet dream.

Not getting much love from the fans but he sure has done well for himself.

Yeah, Neuer's girl is my type to a T.

Pretty faced, skinny, petite girl with a flat chest?

Pretty much.

I used to say boobs weren't a big deal, but then I dated a chick with DDs. After that, it just wasn't the same.

Don't get me wrong, I would consider big boobs a plus, they just rarely come on the tiny girls I like. But still, I have had sex with big boobed girls and I'm pretty blah about them. Don't play with them or anything and keep my hands on the ass most of the time.

Bayern players wife and girlfriends are always FICAS:D

Nothing beats a nice big pair of titties. Back to topic ;)

Awesome game by Bayern so far. :-O You guys are killing Hertha courtesy of Ribery being in the form of his life. LOL at Muller missing that open goal chance.
