Garay is incoming. He should be able to stabilize the defense somewhat.

Yeah, I know. It was more in regards to tactics and how gelled Bayern look at this point.

Yeah, Tottenham have been a huge disappointment so far this season.

I really like the idea of someone like Paco. He's young but still an established top flight striker, that we're allowed to have fairly high expectations for. I don't know him well enough to judge if he's worth those rumored 30-35m euros, but if there's just a slight chance that he could be...

He's looking more or less a done deal by now, and the board has made it public that he's the only option for us. So it's basically Paco or noone, except that Munir going on loan seems close to being official, meaning Paco will nearly certainly go official any day now. What's the Barcaforum gut...

Liverpool have been pissing all over Tottenham this first half. Unlucky not to be up by one more.

Welcome man. Good choice for avatar. Laudrup was the reason I fell in love with Barça back in the days.

I hope so. Will be rough after losing both Hummels and Gündogan, though.

No exaggeration; I honestly believe this Bayern side could win the Bundesliga without a manager. Question is if Ancelotti can bring back ChL glory. As I see it, it's dead even between us, Real and Bayern. Getting rid of Pep's pathetic European away form is already a step up.

Yeah, because Lucho plays exactly the same way as Pep did, right? It shouldn't take a genius to see that we don't even utilize a Xavi role anymore.

Pardon me for mistaking this for a stab at Cillessen's lack of quality: I really don't get what the fuss is all about. We need a backup goalie to be om his toes, and letting him play the CdR is a simple necessity. Well see what Lucho and Unzue has in mind with Cillessen.

Except that all of the above is pure conjecture, as you and I both (or anyone else in here for that matter) know nothing about what Cillessen has been promised or not been promised in regards to playing time. I really don't get your problem with him playing the CdR (if that ends up being the...

Don't mind him. He's often... confused about football related matters.

The line between pragmatism and cowardice can be fine. Several La Liga teams have done more or less the same against us and Real over the years. But yeah, I agree, they look like they belong in an inferior division indeed.

Yeah, Thiago looked great. He was left completely unchallenged in midfield most of the time, though. That brilliant pass into the box, that Müller squandered, was fantastic. Werder has to be relegation fodder.

Compared to what we actually needed at the given time, I think you can compare the two windows in terms of quality. Back then we sold Sanchez and badly needed a 9. We got the best out there. We needed a goalkeeper as well, and got two great ones. Then there was a void to fill after Xavi, and we...

Is it just me is he much wider over the shoulders than he used to be? He looks like he's gained some muscle bulk lately. My God Werder are beyond terrible. That penalty ranks up there with the dumbest I've seen - pulling down a man who's chasing the ball out of the penalty area... Wow :lol:

If that's the case, we should just declare it a draw and celebrate them both for their valiant efforts. Actually Pele could probably edge it, as he seems to ramble off his crazy talk without performance enhancing substances, unlike Maradona, who's clearly a drug-addled looney.

Yeah, Werder are being outplayed in every single aspect of the game. Bayern looks great, though, truth be told.

Cheers man. I hope he succeeds. Always seemed like a good, hardworking kid. And yeah, let's hope he smashes Espanyol tonight.
