Next Season Bayern will have to start Playing for Uefa Cup 2007/2008

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I think Altintop might have the inside track to starting at DM for us next season. I think Match Day 1 will look like this

Kahn
Sagnol-Lucio-vBuyten-Lahm
Ribery-vBommel-Altintop-Schweini
Toni-Klose

Sosa, Poldi, Ze, Jansen, and Demichelis as cover. Looks fantastic. Still a little worried about that central midfield, but we would obviously be playing on the wings with the wingbacks swinging in crosses for the strikers, not building through the center. Van Bommel and Altintop can snuff out the attack of any team, and I think that's pretty much all we need from them.

 

[Hendrik]

Sagnol won't make it, he needs another two months until he returns to training. That means Lahm RB and Jansen LB.
Demichelis supposedly has the edge over van Buyten.
Ribery told them he wants to play in left midfield.
Ze Roberto was promised the starting spot alongside van Bommel for now.

The way I see it Altintop, Sosa and Schweinsteiger will be fighting it our for the right wing. Sosa needs some weeks to adjust, I see him as a sub in the first matches. If Altintop puts on more performances like this in preseason there's no way Schweinsteiger will start. I seriously doubt he's realized in what situation he's in right now. Some time on the bench won't hurt him.

Kroos might get the #10:

 

[Reikko]

I'm worried about Toni-Klose together...Bouth have the same style, no speed.
I would put Poldi like this:

----Podolski--
Toni-----Klose

or

Toni(Klose) - Podolski

I'm not feeling a slow and old attack....we really need some speed in our game...Would you imagine a counter-attack with Toni and Klose? :-puke:

 

[Deisler]

Would you imagine a counter-attack with Toni and Klose? :-puke:

YES especially knowing that it will be fed by a guy called Ribery

 

[Hendrik]

Klose is not the one dimensional striker he used to be before he joined Bremen. You'll often see him in midfield with the ball at his feet looking to feed the actual target man. He doesn't even score that many headers anymore, his style has totally changed.

He's quite pacey but I doubt we'll see too much counter attacking football.

_____________

Oh, and can we please finally ship that clown Santa Cruz out of here? 6 goals in the past three seasons and he dares to make comments like that?

"I am not inferior to Toni, and I can assure you that time will tell."

[Deisler]

Why the hell is Luca Toni playing for a German club

Well, who else would pay him €10M a year before taxes? Certainly not one of those bankrupt Serie A clubs.

 

[BayernBoz]

Punch to the gut.

I won't believe this about Schweini until I see it. He's a sure fire German International, from our youth system, and like 24 years old. Plus, if he is being made the scapegoat for last season, maybe the club should think again.

 

[Javyol]

Well he had respect for Fiorentina, his previous club, and did not want to play against them.

 

[Hendrik]

I said he will get treated like everyone else in the team. The one that performs the best will play no matter if it's a 23 year old German International or a 22 year old Argentine prospect.

He's not the only scapegoat for last seasons disaster, but one of the very few who are left. Everyone wants the best for him because of the reasons you stated. He turns 23 next month, has he made any progress since he entered this stage as a 19 year old easygoing boy? No. Last year they didn't keep Ze Roberto so that Schweini could take the next step. Well, he failed. Without much competition for his spot he never looked like he was willing to break sweat for the team.

Not to mention the developments concerning his life off the field. At the time he had to work for his comeback he posed with his new model girlfriend for the tabloids and gladly gave interviews yet he didn't even know what exactly was wrong with his knee. It seemed everyone was more worried about his injury than he was.

He got detached from reality and the club, mainly Hoeness, is trying to bring him back to earth. He wanted the #7 jersey, Hoeness gave it to Ribery. Schweini prefers the position in left midfielder, Hoeness publicly states that's going to be Ribery's position in the next couple of years. Some more quotes:
"He has to wake up already. He finally has to realize the summer-fairytale of 2006 is over."

If he doesn't cut it this year his days at Bayern are numbered.

in other news, he's a pretty average player.

 

[treble41]

Nah, good player and I still think he's got it in him. It's just that he's a lot better as a winger. Wish those training kits would be our real jerseys.

 

[Deisler]

Ok, thanks for the comment. Now piss off at Ajax thread will ya?

Back on topic. I have to agree with Vince that after the WC he had a prolonged post wc syndrome. I do excpect him to be better this season. I also would want to see him loaned somewhere else if he doesn't get fit this season too. He is too talented to rot in the bench.
