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

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.

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?

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.

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.

You guys are killing Hertha courtesy of Ribery being in the form of his life. LOL at Muller missing that open goal chance.- Status
