Pep's Bayern was never better. The defense in Pep's Bayern was significantly worse, for example, and the main reason the main statistics didn't look vastly different was Manuel Neuer beasting. With Jupp's Bayern other teams barely got a sniff at goal.

He shouldn't become captain. He's getting there physically and is injured more and more already. Give it to Hummels or Neuer.

I know you don't mean it. Still, it's the opposite, actually. Lahm is a loss but the mid 90s born kids coming through right now are absolutely incredible. Add Reus and (hopefully) Gundogan and Germany only gets better and is set for a long, long time.

They're about the same height and weight. Kroos can still improve defensively. Also, let's not act like Alonso has ever been superb defensively. That's somewhat of a myth.

Hope he flops. That Barcelona mimic kit. :lol:

He needs to play centrally in the attack. He also needs to drop the Goetzenegger act. Lose some of that upper body bulk.

I never said he's the GOAT. I said he's a GOAT level type goalkeeper. I have personally never seen anybody as good as him, and that includes Schmeichel, Buffon, and Kahn. If he keeps his level up for a few more years he has a great case for GOAT. And who cares if they finish their chances? None...

Length and athleticism.

Neuer is just such a complete package that even if Mats reaches his level skill and mentality wise, his physical attributes are just not sufficient to get on Neuer's level. That's not a slight though. Neuer is already a GOAT level type goal keeper.

In all seriousness, he doesn't have the physical attributes to surpass him as a goal keeper.

I swear, sometimes people just don't look at the circumstances of a player's form. Playing in the middle = awesome start at Bayern (yuck). Players come back from injury, Pep moves him to the wing more and more and thus brings him from the bench more and more, since he doesn't perform well as a...

Fixed it for you.

LOL, why? Because he underperformed on the wing playing possession football? The second Guardiola stopped playing him in the middle he got worse, and that all to accommodate his boy Thiago Alcantara. Pepe just favors his boy. Gotze belongs somewhere in the middle and needs more playing time.

Him supplying Ronaldo and Di Maria from deep with long, accurate passes is a nightmare waiting to happen. Much better fit for Real Madrid than for Bayern.

Pep has destroyed his long range shot. It'll probably come back as soon as he's with Real Madrid and is actually allowed to take good shots. :lol:

He's probably tired of Pep's play style. Not allowed to take good shots. :lol:

Kolasinac was made in Germany and now Bosnia stole him. :angry:

Pique better than Hummels. :lol: Hummels will remind everyone again how good he is now that he's getting back in form after injury.

Hell, we'll give you Hummels and you give us Pique. You upgrade and we get more depth? How about that? Not like we'll have any players left by next season anyways.

Yes, only 17 years old. He'll become a top 10 player in the world, at least. He's a bigger talent than Mario Götze.
