Bayern München

[Nucky]

One-horse league forever until somebody gives Bayern the middle finger, putting that "for the greater good of Bundesliga" charade to rest.

Doubt that will happen soon.. Dortmund already lost Sancho, next year they'll also lose Haaland.. Liepzig lost Upamecano, they will lose Sabitzer next year.. Its Bayernleague forever yes..

Former Bayern assistant Andries Jonker: "I once asked Uli Hoene? why he always buys the best players from Bundesliga rivals, like Mario Gomez from Stuttgart. He said that Bayern do not negotiate in such cases, but always pay whatever the other German club wanted" [@spox]

Jonker: "The said club would then invest the money into a good replacement and put the rest into their own youth academy, which in turn would help Bayern in the future when they get the next good player from that club. I thought that was a nice explanation."

So practically all Bundesliga clubs are feeders for Bayern. Haha. Despicable club. They are a tad better than QSG because they are relevant because of other reasons than arabic money, but not by much.

My fondest memory of Bayern is the CL final at home. They totally dominated play. But lost to Chelsea. Apologies to Bayern fans, but I loved it.

They are not a despicable club, they are probably the best run club in Europe, what are they doing wrong? They are looking out for themselves which is what they are supposed to do, the problem with the Bundesliga is not Bayern, it is all the other clubs. Look at the state of Hamburg and Schalke or Stuttgart, these clubs should be fighting Bayern but because of bad management they are nowhere, Dortmund are happy bringing in young players and selling them for profit instead of building a great team. It is the fault of these clubs that Bayern are dominating.

Because politics Bayern is the top club and no other club can challenge them in Germany. Is that fair?

I think that was the point

Drama ensuing.

A bunch of unvaccinated players had to go into quarantine after being in contact with a COVID positive person due to German law. Bayern are annoyed with them missing out on games/trainings that they won't pay them during the quarantine.
Gnabry, Kimmich, Choupo, Musiala, Cuisance among those unvaccinated. It's already the second time Kimmich had to quarantine this season.

FC Hollywood is still not dead, is it?

If it is their way to force these 5 players to get vaccinated then kudos to them, but if they are trying to save a few pennies wherever they can then it is kind of a dick move. Not sure how contractually and legally this will fly.

No way it's about money. The article is stating that one or more players might take legal action against Bayern.

Some of these are actully important players and these intermittent quarantines are disruptive to the team during the season.
Kimmich is getting slated. He's not anti-vax per se and said he will get it eventually, but he's delaying/waiting for more information and/or a new vaccine.
Like take the jab already and get it over with.

We'll take him and solve this problem.

I have little doubt you don't care about players/people not getting vaccinated, unfortunately for you, your club does.

So, these players who refuse to take the vaccine at Bayern would likely be quarantined at Barca all the same.

 

[fergus90]

It's turned into quite a messy situation. Obviously it's understandable from both viewpoints, the club can't force players to get vaccinated, but at the same time the players shouldn't complain when they get docked wages if they have to keep quarantining as per government guidelines.

 

[mc_lovin]

It's such a stupid hill to die on.

Happy we don't have that drama.

 

[Luftstalag14]

The thing that is surprising is it is Kimmich of all people. He is not an outright anti-vaxxer but considering hee was the one who co-organized the WeKickCorona campaign along with Goreztka...

If he keeps having to miss football matches, he will get it. Which like mc_lovin said, it's a silly hill to die on really. Unless he's really that against it that he wants to transfer to a different league where the restrictions aren't as tight.
