No idea what your fav team is but where were they in the last 10 years?
God,.your ignorance makes me almost angry
You guys should read "Herr Pep" from Marti Perarnau. There is a quote from Guardiola regarding the tactical positioning of the DM in football. He says that there are only 3 players in the world that are able to get passes behind the oppositions line from the DM position: Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso and Philipp Lahm.
Alonso is basically the perfect midfielder for Bayern because he plays the position with way more power than Lahm. Rafinha is injured and there is no decent back up to Lahm on the right back. So Lahm wont play as DM. Thiago is out at least 4 weeks and this transfer says that Schweinsteiger has a severe injury. He isnt out for days but for months.
Hojbjerg and Gaudino are still very young and will profit from Alonsos experience. And talking about experience, Bayerns squad has become pretty young after some players left. The most experienced players are Pizarro who is 36 and then Lahm, Ribery who are just 30. Alonso will lead the team this season and is able to execute Peps tactics perfectly.
This transfer is brilliant on many levels.

It was more reserves than not. About 10 or so U-21s and a few fringe first team players to go alongside some regulars. Welbeck, Chicharito, Evans, Januzaj and De Gea played. Kagawa went off after 20 mins and Januzaj replaced him.Did man united lose 4-0 using reserves or their actual team? I honestly don't know, not taking the piss of united fans

It was mostly reserves/U-21.
First Team Players:
De Gea, Evans, Hernandez, Welbeck, Januzaj. In these, Hernandez/Welbeck/Januzaj don't really start or have started games for us on a regular basis.
Saidy Janko - no league appearances for Man U and hopefully never will.
Vermiji - no league appearances for Man U and hopefully never will.
Powell - no league appearances for Man U and hopefully never will.
Reece James - no league appearances for Man U and hopefully never will.
Michael Keane - 1 PL appearance for Man U due to injury. Hopefully not again
Pereira - no league appearances for Man U
Wilson - 1 PL appearance last season vs. Hull
Anderson - Hardly played for Man U in last 3 years. But part of squad and hopefulyl never again.
Kagawa - Another hardly used player, makes us all sad
It was still a crap defeat that we are ashamed of. But this wasn't what any actual MU team would look like. It was a mix-match of reservers/youth, some first team players and some players who hardly even start for Man U.

So, Shinji might be heading back to Dortmund. Even though it's our loss, it's difficult to watch a good player waste his talent. Hopefully Klopp revives him.

Agreed. And we need to get rid of players in attacking positions anyway. Got wayyy too many of them.
Still don't know why we bought Mata, not that I don't like him, just made no sense in hindsight.

Milan won't pay much for him, thoughts on the fee?

Chelsea should just sell him for free

Doesn't matter. It's just getting his wages out and so we can bring in a competent striker to replace him.
I hope he comes back. I still think he has the potential to get to level he had in 2012. Bundesliga needs a strong Dortmund.

I remember United being linked to Guarin or he was like offered to them last summer

Top bad. Would have been a Killer deal for Bayern but apparently Juve isnt stupid.
Ordered the book as well and am looking forward to reading it tomorrow.
But I gotta say, objectivity be damned, I am not happy with this transfer. It makes sense, as you said, but I fear it will create one Spanish group in the team and one German group. Also, Hojbjerg might as well let himself get loaned out. He, Gaudino and Rode have been cockblocked like Milch.
For the short term, Xabi might bring more success, but I want real development, not Real development.
I don't think Marotta is capable of selling anyone/anything
Oh we are! But..
"Its also claimed Juve asked for Shaqiri on loan with option to buy, but were unimpressed with Bayerns demands. They would loan him for 6m and an option to buy for a further 25m."
ahahah Sammer pls......PLS
Guarin is offered to anyone who would listen :lol

Why? Is he bad?
I have no idea about him other than that he plays in midfield.
Also, Chelsea bros. Bid for Rooney.

He's ... alright at best. He's also 29 (I think) with no room for improvement. Plus dat Inter stigma.

The ONLY player United have on which they would make a profit from a sale is Januzaj.
Welbeck if you count youth team peeps.
wow
Welbeck if you count youth team peeps.
wow
Yes, this transfer comes at a cost but those rookies need time and we always had our groups, the South Americans for example. Important thing is that there is a second player additional to Thiago who understands Peps philosophy and is able to execute it. All young players will profit from this long term. They will still get their games and imagine playing with Alonso and Schweinsteiger, both were leading their squads to WC victory, CL etc.
Gerrard routinely does this for Liverpool from the same position Alonso plays.
Even if you sell Welbeck for a negative sum, it's still a profit.
Guarin is alright. But let Juve worry about how good/shit he is :lol you worry about Vidal's mohawk under the Manchester rain
And countless others :lol that comment wasn't even worth quoting :lol
Great I think he is just the last piece Dortmund needs. All German CL final again.

I hope it's true. You can't not like Kagawa and at Dortmund he might find his old form again.
Leverkusen against whom?
Klopp can do it.
And he still got alot of friends within the team like Gündogan,Großkreutz and so on.
Obviously it would be a future investment, because it would take the to get him back to his old form.
It's just another option with all the injured players now.

It was a message to everyone that Manchester United was serious about being on top again.
Went to the Cardiff game where Mata debuted, and it was in an open letter Moyes wrote into the club magazine.

To the top while not filling gaps that needed to be filled.
Story of Fergie's last 3 years, Moyes's 1 year and mostly continuing in current year. Though signings under LVG are better than Moyes or Fergie's last few years. We atleast filled gap this year of having a new LB (then let Evra go...), a new midfielder and a good winger.
Great plan we got.
