There is no way Bayern don't win the Bundesliga next season even if Guardiola is shit.

Where is the competition?

Dortmund? Definitely not.

 

[jtb]

is there a reliable source that we got 13m for Vela? this seems like very generous, hopeful accounting

Pretty much. All the Bayern fans want to pretend that it's going to be very competitive and difficult. They will have it wrapped up in February.

Madrid ruin football.

 

[omgkitty]

they already own him. 13m to get rid of a buyback clause? what? I don't get that.

or if you're paying 13m to get rid of a sell-on clause, then you're basically betting that he's definitely worth more than 26m. that's a huge gamble.

We could have bought him back for something like 3 million or whatever and sold him for at least 15m easy. They had to buyout his contract so we wouldn't. Unfortunately I think if we had really wanted Griezmann, it would have been included in that deal.

 

[bobito]

HAHAHA hitcher, that pic killed me

Madrid ruin football.

lol. Now this is comedy.

 

[Clegg]

Oh dear.

I think I've gone muppet over Cuadrado

 

[Suen]

So Suarez for £75 million (with the risk of further biting penalties) or James for £63 million (with the risk he isn't as good as he showed at the World Cup)?

I'd go Suarez.

He's not anything like Suarez and he's not worth the fee sure but he's been a great talent for both Porto and Monaco. The reason you wouldn't hear anything about him in Monaco is because the spotlight was on Falcao. The Portuguese or French league aren't at the same level as the Spanish league but he has enough experience to do well in Madrid. The only way I see him flopping is if CA fails in setting up a formation he feels comfortable in (see Isco).

Now they won't.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Monaco wants Torres for 19 million €. oh boy.

 

[Ingeniero]

Madrid won't win anything next season

LOL what a joke.

It applies for Liverpool tho, NOTHING.

 

[wedward]

Now they won't.

Ok. March.

it's different. we have to pretend that in order to get any excitement out of Bundesliga games... otherwise we only got the CL left which coincidently starts getting exciting around February.

Actual this is the tragic reality of being a Bayern fan, you can't get that excited about Bundesliga wins, yet you still feel miserable when they lose.

 

[Mr.Marston]

I'm pretty sure the guys that together have watched maybe ten Bundesliga matches in their life know more than us.

Really? I still get a lot of excitement out of Bundesliga matches. I must admit though, last season was the first time where things were occasionally different.

 

[WJD]

Supporting Madrid must be so weird.

 

[Koko]

Loan or bb clause, do not want to sell.

edit: don't forget that if Di Maria and Khedira goes then we'll be opening some spots. Doesn't mean he'll get more playing time but more or less the same as last season. We also need to convince Ronaldo to stop playing full 90 min games, allowing to Jese to get more playing time.

Jesé won't be coming back until late November/Early December and he would need sometime to get back at his level.

I can see James getting some playtime in Ronaldo position or as a RW with Bale as LW.

 

[Yurt]

Genuinely, I can't wait to see us go toe-to-toe with one of the top 5 world teams, if the draw works out that way, or if we get through the group. Especially at home. Wanna see how this group of players reacts to the pressure and higher standard of opposition, and how Rodgers deals with trying to play a more conservative game

Yeah our first season back in Europe was well exciting too! And I think (I hope? ;_ that we surprised a few people on the way to the QF

Yeah, that sounds horrible.

You just added the Bundesliga's best striker to your team. You took him from your only competition last year. Am I missing something?

 

[Tubie]

Diego Costa is only 2 years older than him, think about that.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Does he mean winning the CL? Cause he has the league and cup in the bag

Pep can't be talking about the CL, no way.

He knows if he doesn't win the league it'll be a huge and catastrophic failure considering how stacked Bayern is compared to the other teams in the league. Bundesliga is a one team league, hard not to win it.

Certainly Bayern seem stacked to win the Bundesliga this season, but that hasn't stopped them from failing before. They've probably been the favorite to win every year for the past 10 seasons (maybe with the exception of Dortmund in '11-'12), yet they've only won 6 times.

 

[ShogunDarius]

If LFC are going to make a Marquee signing the potential options are falling fast.

i like u so much <3

It's true.

Jesé won't be coming back until late November/Early December and he would need sometime to get back at his level.

Yeah I can definitely see James playing on the wings but I wonder if it's not better going with 4-2-3-1 now that we have James. I'd like to see him used as an AM.

The reason why I think Ronaldo shouldn't be playing full 90 minutes is so he can prolong his career. He's getting older and the intense training he does takes its toll on his body. We really don't need him for 90 min if we're leading by five goals against weaker opponents, let Jese come in then.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Can they pay the wages necessary to sign someone that can be considered "marquee"?

 

[wedward]

It's true.

If they killed it you helped bludgeon it to the brink of death.

 

[Pachimari]

Supporting Madrid must be so weird.

Why?

Also, Cristiano's physique is something else.

 

[Xpike]

James

Diego Costa is only 2 years older than him, think about that.

All that horse placenta caught up to him.

Nothing will stop Ronaldo from playing. The guy is like reverse Ronaldo/Ronaldinho, the older he gets the harder he will train and the more he will want to play.

 

[Suen]

It's Cavani isn't it?

Wenger must be lying about not needing to sign any striker. He just wants to put Giroud on the bench in the most brutal way by announcing that we've acquired Cavani in the last day of the transfer window.

[Feorax]

We probably could for the right player. We couldn't be like City or Chelsea though.

 

[Salvadora]

El Chupacabra, genuine question.

If Bayern don't win the Bundesliga, as you say, who will?

I honestly can't think of a team who is capable of maintaining a title challenge in Germany.

 

[Blablurn]

FIFA anyone?

 

[Ingeniero]

Can they pay the wages necessary to sign someone that can be considered "marquee"?

Yeah, now that they don't pay Suarez, they could.

 

[fuenf]

Pep can't be talking about the CL, no way.

I think he's talking about having a successful season over all and less in the sense of winning titles. But given is pedigree, I do believe he is aiming for the CL. He know he (!) screwed up in the semis against Real and that the CL was there for Bayern's taking last season.

 

[D4Danger]

Diego Costa is only 2 years older than him, think about that.

wat! Costa looks like a 45yr old chain smoker.

plays like one too

 

[Barzul]

Can't see past Dortmund and that's if they don't collapse again from injuries. No one else is even near Bayern's level.

Mathieu fucks off to South America with his team. Thank you Based God.

kinda crazy that a pro like him did so obvious mistakes

 

[Hindle]

There is no way Bayern don't win the Bundesliga next season even if Guardiola is shit.

Dortmund? Definitely not.

Must be depressing that only one team from Germany are capable of winning the CL as well. I think it's only a matter of time before the likes of Madrid, Bayern, Barca start pushing for a European super league.

 

[Salvadora]

Can't see past Dortmund and that's if they don't collapse again from injuries. No one else is even near Bayern's level.

Even if they don't, Dortmund have lost one of the top tier CFs in the world and replaced him with Immobile and Ji Dong-Won.

Just not good enough.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Yeah, now that they don't pay Suarez, they could.

Word. How much was he on? But still, they signed a bunch of dudes already so that must have equalled one Suarez by now.

 

[omgkitty]

Even if they don't, Dortmund have lost one of the top tier CFs in the world and replaced him with Immobile and Ji Dong-Won.

The also signed Ramos who scored a decent amount in the league last season. Dortmund will be fine. Reus will guide them to victory before making his move to Arsenal next year.
