Mehdi Benatia

[Semi-Neutral]

Our apparent alternative to Benatia is Mexes...what is this 2006 lol?

Sell Vidic and Ferdinand to buy Mexes

Sell Vidic and Ferdinand to buy Mexes

Not really, they let both Ferdinand and Vidics contracts run down allowing them to leave.

Probably the right decision with Vidic and def the correct decision for Ferdinand.

Bild says the transfer is almost through for 30m

It's still the same news from noon.

Never mind me. There actually has been an update. True. Deal is close to be finished. Although there are some odd sentences and words such as "allegedly" or "Is he the defender Bayern want to sign?". At the same time they say the deal is almost fixed. Pretty weird.

Will be a good buy for Bayern. Would slot in perfectly in the central of the 3 man defence.

If the fee really is 30m in a market where Luiz goes for 60, Mathieu goes for 20, and we bid 40+ for Marquinhos, it's a freaking bargain for Bayern.

How did Bayern pull this off, in a mere two days? Reschke only left Munich on Friday, I believe? How did they, a late comer manage to kick everyone else out of the race with this kind of ridiculously low fee, in this kind of lightening fast speed.

This Bayernblitzkrieg is amazing. This deserves a Harvard MBA case study.

If it's true, then WOW. How the hell? Is Zubi really that idiot of a negotiator? Weren't there reports that his asking price was in the 50 mill range?

I must say, when it comes to efficiency and meticulosity, the Spanish and the Catalans are no match to the Germans.

In terms of scouting, Porto probably has/had the best scouts in the world. BVB closely follows. Where are we?

Our youth academy has great scouts. That has to count for something, right?

Yeah. But when it comes to the first team, we are not exactly known for wise transfers.

I don't think Barça tried to sign Benatia. They might have asked about him, but that's about it. If that even happened. They were trying to get Marquinhos.

 

[DonAK]

Benatia was reportedly not training today.

Well, it'S still among the top-news on their website which is equally true for Bild.
