If that were to happen it'd be a great summer. I wouldn't mind a new CB this summer truth be told, gives them a year to blend in for when Rio might start to take a back seat role.

All those formations for nothing

20m
FC Bayern München ‏@FCBayern 3m
OFFIZIELL: Transfer von Thiago Alcantara (22) von Barcelona zum FCB perfekt! Bayern zahlt für Guardiolas Wunschspieler 20 Mio. ^M.Hörwick
To quote Arnie:
I think you could maybe get away without signing one for another year but you are cutting it very thin, Kharma.
I can see another United defensive crisis happening all over again this season. You don't want that to be the cause of going trophyless.
No reason he can't play CM if Javi is dropped into CB.
I agree, that would be shit but we've 4 options at CB, 4-5 at LB and 4 at RB. We've decent levels of cover imo, if we added Garay it would be a decent move to as I said help blend him into the team for next year.

Thiago will give Bayern trouble, I can see it. I can taste the drama.
Schweinsteiger
Kroos
Luiz Gustavo
Martinez
Thiago
Can
Surely one of Kroos or LG will leave?
VAT.
Martinez could be at CB, Emre Can might get loaned out. 3 in midfield of Schweinsteiger, Thiago and Kroos? You of course know Bayern better than I, just guessing what Pep could do.
Gotta keep trade routes open between the big clubs. Bayern didnt want to scumbag Barca.
Taxes, my friend.
None of them are DMs though. Martinez needs to be present at midfield.

A friendly match in Munich? That could easily get some good money in. CRAZY.
There's a gentlemens agreement between Bayern and Barca not to activate each others release clauses. Rummenigge is president of the ECA and Rossell his vice president, they needed to resolve this shit amicably.
how many mids to bayern need?
thought barca would want someone in exchange, xavi is not getting any younger

I like everybody here, except when we're losing. Then I hate nearly everybody. But I mostly like everybody.
See above:
"Bayern is paying 20m, the other 5 will come from a friendly match between Bayern and Barca, and Manu fans grab a seat now, Thiago contributed to the transfer fee by lowering his salary demands. "
Schweinsteiger I thought could do a decent job of playing as a holding mid?
-----Schweinsteiger---
Thiago ------------- Kroos
Something like that?
I of course have Heynckes formation in mind, we don't know what Pep's system will be.
The CM isn't as much of a problem as the AM:
Müller
Kroos
Shaqiri
Götze
Robben
Ribery
Assuming Robben and Ribery are guaranteed starters, the wings are full. So it leaves one position free for 4 players to fill.

I don't want to be mean but that stuff is just a ridiculous way to "lower" the transfer fee.
"I want 6m a year"
"We offer you 8m a year, agree at 6m and say you lowered your demands."
"Okay"
Edit: Look at Martinez, that was the same thing. Bayern still paid those 40m.
OMG I am dying here, GG Thiago.
Ah, you're afraid to make enemies. Don't be afraid, we're nice people.
Might as well throw Thiago in there too, Pep might want him further up the pitch.
I expect them to play like that in the Bundesliga with Javi at CB, for the CL Javi will most likely be the DM and one of Schweini / Kroos / Thiago will sit out.
Yeah, I fear another player will deffo leave.
Gomez already hurt, I couldn't cope with Kroos leaving too.

I don't believe that media bullshit for one second either, just a way to get good pr in 98% of the cases. Obviously pretty much all players ends up getting a bit less than their agents originally demanded though, it's called negotiating.
Thank fuck for buying him bayern and we can shut the fuck up about him.
kroos to leave?

If Garay turns out to be true in addition to this Thiago thing I might break something.
