Actually realised it afterwards. Got them confused I guess.
Being out for the season with a innocuous tackle causing a leg break. Must be heartbreaking.
Our two big signings of the summer, Kozak and Okore, both going to end up missing large portions of this season. Remarkably, Okore may make it back for the last handful of fixtures I believe.
That Higuain story is too crazy.
Maybe the recent injuries have depleted them, but I mean in terms of being a physical side.
He's going to have to get used to that. Most teams in the pl are physical. Chelsea, Newcastle, Stoke, West Ham, Crystal Palace among others are all physical teams.
Not that I think too many people care about Villa's dealings here but the insider said we're targeting two people in January; an attacking midfielder currently in the premier league and a loan signing to boost experience and morale for the club.
That was before Kozak got injured. Maybe we'll ask for Guidetti on loan from City finally?
The whole post talking about Lambert is an interesting enough read, particulary for rodvik and AA if they happen to catch this post.

Kristof Terreur ‏@HLNinEngeland
Steven #Defour is not the first choice of #AVFC manager Paul #Lambert. He's on Villa's list of possible targets, though he'll be expensive.

Bow beneath your king, motherfuckers.
He is 16. Lets not rush it. He just came back after being injured for 2 months.
or he could move to the superior league
Lol. One team borefest with the rest of the teams making up numbers? Yep that's the Bundesliga for ya.
That would happen with the current Bayern in any league
that's actually a pretty good idea
US fans, rejoice! http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsportsgo/
Free FA Cup, Champions League, etc. games if your provider has a deal with them.

Berba to Arsenal would be great.
in meaning less matches, yes.
if you think Bayern would have a hard time in any other league you're delusional. Maybe RM or Barcelona in top form would be a problem, but in a league system Bayern would be on the far top
You're the delusional one. You were one goal from elimination and 1 goal from dropping to runner up. Your Bayern arrogance undermines you, Barca went through this as well when they had the dominate team.
In the Arsenal match the players thought they had won the fixture already and got fucked. I'm not going to deny how great the Wenger's tactical approach was for that match.
And you're talking about the Dortmund - Bayern final? where Dortmund needed a penalty to score against us? We deserved to win the title and so we did.
Bayern would boss any league right now, it isn't arrogance. Like I have said before, I don't like how Bayern plays under Pep and I think it has a lot of flaws but that doesn't change the fact that we're the best team in the world right now and there's nobody in our level to compete on a league system. On a knockout phase, sure, we're very open to be eliminated.

Don't be delusional Jupp. Also I'd like to see Bayern perform without their winter break.

And if they had £50m to bid why would they bid for Higuain...
Once Pep takes his doping back to Spain you will be seeing more images of your team crying in the center of the pitch.

Bayern's gameplan would be torn to pieces in EPL or La Liga cos they wouldn't be able to buy their nearest rivals best player every year.
Transfer Muppetry! 😁
I'm talking that if City scored the 4th goal against a strong Bayern team it would be Bayern facing Barcelona instead of City.
Bayern also needed penalties to beat Mou's Chelsea. Stop pretending Bayern can steam over everyone they come across without competition.
Leverkusen on their day can give Bayern a game, Dortmund on their day can too, the rest can't and rely more on luck or Bayern beating themselves than anything else.
world class managers like... Moyes, AVB, Bruce, etc? pls. If anything that's the biggest problem of the PL.
I'm not saying Bayern wouldn't lose a match against Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City. I'm saying nobody would be able to win on a league system with Bayern right now
I don't know whats more bizarre:
- Bidding £50m for a striker who just moved in the summer and who is cup-tied in Europe.
- Bidding £50m for Higuain of all people.
- Looking to sell de Bruyne for £25m, a crazy valuation.
- Thinking that Mata is around the same value of de Bruyne and that he needs to be sold.

I agree with Jupp.
If Bayern were in the PL I don't think they'd have dropped more than 6/7 points.

The Mesut Ozil effect!
Playing every 3 -4 days, even over Christmas, and having offsides and penalty decisions go against them like the top PL clubs do?

Yeah, Bayern would win the EPL but they would lose games.
Taki-tiki does not work in the EPL.
what's your point? Dortmund can trash Arsenal without much problem when they have full squad too.
Just because clubs have more money in PL that doesn't mean they're better than the Bundesliga clubs. Outside of Arsenal, Man City and a couple more it is a pain to watch the kind of football the pl clubs play. Bayern would destroy the rest without much problem.
Again, I'm not saying Bayern can't lose against Man City, Arsenal, etc. They surely could lose, but on a league system it wouldn't matter. What makes Bayern big is the amount of talent in the squad, the confidence/need to win every match and the lack of conformism.
Rainy nights at Stoke and no winter breaks. You know nothing Jon Snow. /joke
Agree.
The team is capable of playing in any league imo. Would lose 2 times vs Stoke though

Dortmund have played 4 games against Arsenal. Won 1, draw 1 and lost 2 so I don't agree at all.
Yeah.
Listening to podcasts today, I'm under the impression that Chelsea need to sell to buy additional players due to ffp implications next season if they buy without selling. But that valuation of Bruyne is ridiculous, and bidding £50m on a cup tied striker is even sillier.
Is it only the telegraph reporting this?
Brendan, Mata pls...
I think it is a bit tricky to look at the table right now, Dortmund is having a very hard time with all the injuries and trying to fit a Gotze replacement.
Surely if Dortmund were in normal situation, the difference in points wouldn't be that bigger. That being said, I don't see any of the current EPL teams doing much better than what a "fit" Dortmund could do.
1. He was going to grass Frank up.
2. CO poisoning.

It's a real shame that Ba to Arsenal loan never worked out. I'd take him over Berbatov.
I like Berbatov but we already have a pretty lazy front line with Giroud and Bendtner. I'd rather just take my chances with Podolski and Walcott getting occasional games up front than add a very very short term stopgap.
