Their central defense might make reaching the final unreproducible. But i think that germanys and (to lesser extent) hollands WC performances already proved that Bayerns cl final appearance wasnt a fluke.

thats abit too one sided ... ribery is out too, they still dont know what to do with kroos (he played in 3 different positions in the last 3-4 matches), and some other players play below their level too (schweinis passing was horrible vs mainz for example). and well, ban buyten is still as bad...

Like van Gaal is using van Buyten ...

haha indeed. even van Gaal stated afterwards that they can go as far as winning the title ... handing over the pressure tho them ofc ;)

hehe yeah, im well aware of our image ;)

Oh didnt know there was a thread about him and esp didnt how that he was linked to us once. Well, Kagawa is perhaps the hottest player in the Bundesliga currently, also shown by being the highest ranked player in the two fantasy football games i play. And he virtually came from nowhere ...

And totally overpaid ... thats how they lured them back to germany from italy, and thats how the went almost bankrupt

Dortmund, albeit having brought in very good new players (kagawa, lewandowski) and with their young playres seemingly developing nicely (sahin, götze, grosskreutz, hummels ...), will imo face the consquences of playing in the EL somewhere through the season as they have prolly the most...

i dont see ribery agreeing to play on the right, so that option is out imo. while i can imagine him acting as svhweinis replacement (only when injured or rested ofc), i also wouldnt like him in van bommels spot like a lot of bayern fans think will happen in the future. too unlikely vG will go...

Mido is right and he also didnt score yet at Bayern. Van Gaal is still trying to figure out how to use him most effectively, which is not easy b/c Bayern likes to build up over the flanks mostly and not through the cente, i.e. the AMC (which would be Kroos). Thats also why Müller doesnt work...

Doesnt hurt imo :)

Yeh, but well ... its Mainz ;) We might find out soon btw ... as Mainz will be playing Bayern in munich at the weekend :)

Absolutely. Thx and i am actually hoping for van Gaal to use him there once RObben is back and Kroos finds his spot as the central playmaker behind Müller.

business as usual ;)

His prob is that he doesnt have decent defensive players around him anymore. And Schalke generally sucking atm. Besides that he is still rated as a promising talent. Besides, how comes you opening all those new bundesliga player threads recently? :) EDIT: oh wait, that one isnt old ... ;)

The transfer to Leverkusen is already fixed for next year. Transfer sum is supposed to be around 8-10M.

Im not surprised. Thing is that his strength arent the 'classic' technical skills a la touch, dribbling, general flair. He lives off his work rate and pace in combination with a very good anticipation and off-the ball movement, that are bringing him into situations where he can score (and use...

There should be some combination of ALT + 3 numbers for it i guess. Well, i never botherd to figure that out as i have the mighty 'ü' on my keyboard ;) You could however just copy paste it from my post too ... :)

rivaldos hattrick vs valencia

im still amazed how we basically got Masch + Adriano for Toure. Must be the trade of the century ... unlike the Ibra deal, but at least we also were able to do sth good
