It's not surprising, though. Hummels' current salary is around 5m, signing a new contract with us would give him about as much as Reus (~8m).
gonna be some boring games
Glad we are in agreement.
I think by now it's pretty much a done deal.
even though I would have preferred Hummels to stay put, I can't argue that it would not make sense.
What was the alternative?
The only defender that has the class and is "available" would have been Laporte, but not for under 50 million and he can basically choose his next club. Hummels is from Bayerns youth, German international and has a lot of experience and opening skills and won WC with Boateng.
Sure, we could go for talents like Tah or Romagnioli, but they need time to reach a constant level in a top 3 club and we can't seriously plan with Boateng alone plus one talent. Carlo obviously sees Martinez as midfielder and temporary defender, so we need at least one reliable CB outside Boateng. We had the chance to get Varane, but choose Benatia, who will leave or Badstuber depending on his health state.
All it needs now is placing Kimmich as right full back as Lahm successor and maybe a guy like Alexis Sanchez to have 3 world class wingers, when Robbery retire. Thiago and Götze are both young and skilled enough for attacking midfielders.

He is good and could help any team in the world. Yes, he has some ridiculous blackouts at times but I think for those conditions, Bayern get an upgrade to Benatia that we bought for the same price.
Oh, and:
Süddeutsche Zeitung just published an article and according to their information Hummels and his father are only negotiating about some last small details with Bayern. Neither City nor Barca were real alternatives, they were used to get the salary to 10 million a year. If SZ writes this, the deal is done.
If you weren't good enough for the other 37 matches, then it's your own fault.
Still, probably not the smartest comment for Hazard et al to come out with. Perhaps if they had shown the same passion earlier in the season, we wouldn't be 9th.

Stage 5?
Sorry Milch
No seriously though. I just don't get why he should go to any other TOP 5 team other than Bayern.
With Bayern he doesn't have to learn a new language, doesn't need to live abroad, knows several of the players from the national team, has a rock solid managerial situation unlike some other top clubs and gets as much money as anywhere else.
Because of the rivalery? That's shit the fans made up, he doesn't care, and he doesn't care about the fans, why would he.
If you really think about it, Bayern is the only choice that makes sense.
I agree absolutely that he is the ideal solution looking at it objectively. But I didn't think it was possible at all.
Good point actually. It proves they consider him very valuable now. Gerland will be over the moon.
Ha!
Do you think you will go for Tah as well? CB has been a problem for Bayern.

Well, the thing is that all the shit he said in the past will get back to him. I wanna learn a new language, play abroad, the stuff on Götze, one title with BVB means more than 10 with Bayern, ...DerZuhälter;201824971 said:
Would make the Götze transfer look like nothing.
I can't imagine that honestly.
We do have a structural problem though: Badstuber, Boateng, Martinez and Hummels (27) are all at the same age, so we have to get two talents either from our own youth or from somewhere else in the next 3 or 4 years. The (possible) Hummels move gives us a bit more time to get the right boys. We do need a successor to Lahm though. He will retire in 2 years and I think that Bayern might try it with Carvajal but that would be extremely difficult. Maybe Bellerin.
Much will depend on what the club does with Benatia and how reliable Badstuber will be. There was talk about Tah, Süle and Romagnioli from Milan, but from what I've seen Tah is the most promising, but an option maybe in 2 or 3 years, because right now he would not get any play time, given that Ancelotti rarely changes the CB couple.
I'm getting the green one, seeing as the England one is shit. Half my family are German so I can get away with it!

I think Götze was a different situation.
BVB were national double winners and looked solid in two of three competitions. League was done, Bayern had 20 points more than them. It looked as if the "natural balance" of Bayern dominating nationally was about to be restored. Furthermore Pep was about to take over.
But it hadn't happened yet at the point in time when Götze returned to Bayern.
That's what Hummels critizied.
He thought Götze left early and without any reasons. He saw Dortmund's team as competitive.
This isn't the case now I believe. Dortmund is about to lose several top players. Aubameyang and Mhkytaryan will be targets for top clubs, Gündogan is already gone. They have been eliminated in EuroLeague in shameful fashion, and although they been excellent in Pokal and League they are clearly only second best.
There are more reasons to leave now, then they were at the time when Götze left imho.

Neither do. And I support the club. Watching the system under Pellegrini at City is pretty much no different than the system he used when at Real but it is the choice of players he decides to use in how we will play and there are quite a few variables that could either be utter shit or brilliant. I'm hoping it is the slightly more reserved and controlled stuff he has been using in other CL games because some of the stuff he does in the Premier League would be a disaster. I'm just hoping that both rounds are as good as the second round last time the teams met in the CL because that was a great game.
I'm hoping to see the City lineup as:
-------------------Hart-------------------
Sagna - Otamendi - Mangala - Clichy
--------Fernando - Fernandinho-------
------Navas - de Bruyne - Silva--------
------------------Aguero-----------------
I'd have switched Navas/Silva with Nasri but he isn't eligible. Mangala and Kompany don't play well together, Kompany and Otamendi are both far too gung-ho, Otamendi and Mangagla now have a system where they are working well together and as last season went to show Otamendi is damn good against Real and just hope Mangala has his big game face on where he can boss anyone, otherwise Bale will turn him over. If Silva is out of form as he has been all season then bring on Sterling and use the pace to hit the flanks and stretch the back giving Aguero and de Bruyne room to attack. Then it is up to the Ferns to prevent Modric and Kroos from controlling the midfield (which I personally think is the weakness of Real, stop them from playing and it opens up the back but that is easier said than done).
Good to see Dortmund keeping their best players.

Well, two sides of a medal and all.DerZuhälter;201829997 said:
We have a much better overall squad than 2013, we pay higher wages, we're on track to play the best Bundesliga season in club history during our new coach's first year (which was expected to be a difficult transition period after Klopp), Bayern gets a new coach which can possibly influence their next season performance. You might argue it's a worse time to leave now than in 2013.
i for one wish your team all the best cause only a healthy bundesliga is a healthy bundesliga
The other thing is, Hummels is 27 now, it's his prime and if he wants a title guarantee or something like that, there are only 2 clubs with a decent probability for the CL title. The Klopp project ended sadly last year and while Tuchel brought BVB back on track in an incredible way, they are still away from the team they were around 2011-2013. Things like Liverpool happen, but there is a lot of work to do. They were more than 20 points behind in the league the last years, lost the national cup 2 times in a row and the gap couldn't even closed with the best season in their history.
I think Hummels saw it like that, his post interview after the defeat in Anfield made him sound very discouraged, because this was the most likely and easiest title to win because no Bayern, Barca or Real were there. He is a professional and can't rely on a fragile hope of Bayern struggling because of a new coach. It's not only us but a realistic and objective view on what current BVB could achieve in CL, and we all know they have only small chances.
There is also the possibility of Mickytaryan ans Aubameyang leaving soon and that would mean another process of building a new team that breaks appart after the cycle is done. It's very hard for Dortmund to keep their players and the core of a successfull squad over years and that missing consistency in the end made him think about jumping to a club that promises all that Dortmund can't.

If Hummels wants a CL title, he needs to go to Barca. As great as your team currently is, you've only won it once in recent times. And it is pretty damn hard to win.
However, it doesn't matter, it's Cathy.

I just thought about what number to get for my germany kit
then i saw ... we dont have many national team players anymore
müller = i got on the bayern kit
neuer = keeper
boateng = i like him, but not much to have him on the kit
götze = gone soon, dont care
and thats it
Team Germany is like half Dortmund.

Get #5 Hummels.
Rubbish King
The gift that keeps on giving
I'm not refuting that. It's a shame when you consider we have the most goals scored and the least conceded, the top scoring striker in the league and not a single red.
I'm not mad if we don't win, at the end of the day the team that is the most consistent takes home the trophy, doesn't stop me hoping. But trash talk from that melt can do one.
Levy may be a good business man but you'd have to offer a shit-tonne to take away the players that facilitated the best defense in the league.
Yeah Chelsea away is a tough tough fixture. 26 years tell us there isn't a chance, but if there was ever a time we could do it, it's now.
As for your speculation to whether we'll be back next year, I'll think I'll stay confident.
i should
GoldenCrow

That's not entirely correct though that could change tonight, you don't have the most goals scored that is Manchester City with 66, Tottenham are on 64. The rest is all on point though. With the way Tottenham has been playing and who they are against they should walk the remaining games. You just have to hope Leicester slip but that looks highly doubtful though there last games could be tricky with United, Everton and Chelsea.
