35m on Pavard
80m on Hernandez

And reports Werner being done which I am sure will be 50-60m plus Pepe at 80m and maybe Havertz or Brandt too which would be 25-40m

Where has this 250-300m come from? I am sure they will make atleast one more big signing in Pepe or Werner and maybe Brandt at his cut rate price of 25m.

Thats still gonna be close to 200m.

Werner wouldn't be that much, more likely to be 35-40. They want to sign Havertz next summer, rather than this summer, the arrogant assholes, hopefully they sell him eleswhere (but not to Abu Dhabi FC). He'll cost a hell of a lot more than 40 mill wherever he goes.

As for where the money is coming from - Bayern are super rich. They have plenty of money. No idea where they are with FFP. I'm sure the rest of the league wishes they would piss off. Maybe start their own superleague with a total of 1 team

They are a pain the arse.

yeah me as well, two teams who try and play on the attack.

Shame Nico Schulz is injured, after his great performance for Germany too, big miss for Hoffenheim.

Hoffemheim really need wins if they are to stand any chance of getting back to Europe too, they draw so many games this season.

Yup, hard not to like him, doesn't get the fuss and attention of some of their other players, but he's just damn good at what he does. OK, but how did he miss that chance?! Was he offside anyway?

2 lovely goals already in this one, both teams are so nice to watch.

Leon Bailey is a different player since Peter Bosz arrived. He was invisible first half the season, now he's back to what he was like last season. Kramaric too has been superb so far too for Hoffenheim.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #8287 on:** March 29, 2019, 07:56:44 pm »

I think they ruled offside on the other chance. It's been a good game as you say, two teams playing it the right way. It'll be really interesting to see what happens from now on in, so many teams are close to those European places.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #8288 on:** March 29, 2019, 08:01:52 pm »

Leverkusen are so open at the back, having said that so are Hoffenheim its as though both managers have told their teams not to defend only attack. A bit like us at the start of Klopp's reign.

Another offside decision that was very tight.

yeah it is amazing really how Leverkusen have got themselves back in the mix for CL, there's 4 teams battling for those last 2 CL positions, could be very intense by the end who makes it. Similar for Europa.

Leverkusen are indeed getting away with a little bit now at the back

Uhoh, Leverkusen running into some serious injury trouble now, looks like Lars Bender is having to go off too.

Leverkusen haven't been as cohesive since their forced injury substitutions.

Ishak Belfodil looked like one of the worst strikers I've ever seen when he arrived in the league last season.

But he's actually turned out to be rather good!

That is one hell of a double he's scored tonight, 2 cracking finishes. Double figures for league goals now.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #8294 on:** March 29, 2019, 09:02:38 pm »

They have really turned up the heat Hoffenheim now, as you say Leverkusen badly affected the injuries.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #8295 on:** March 29, 2019, 09:11:53 pm »

Hoffenheim have counterd like champions tonight!

I hope Kramaric didn't touch that

Should have been been a cracking hattrick for Belfodil.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #8296 on:** March 29, 2019, 09:38:30 pm »

A really impressive second half performance by Hoffenheim that. I do like the way they're set up to attack, their defence still needs a bit of work though. I felt a little bit for Leverkusen though with their injuries badly catching them out.

Scoreline flattered them a bit but yeah it was an impressive 2nd half, they countered really well, took advantage of the high line and where very clinical.

Hoffenheim actually have more points at this stage of the season than they did same match week last season, so who knows, maybe another push for Europe, although I think getting CL may be just too much this season such is the improvment of a couple other teams. And I hope they don't make it, they don't have the depth to cope, and will have a new coach. I would much rather Gladbach or Frankfurt get into the CL next season.

Although I think they get well beat by BVB this weekend, but they still will have a shout.

Fair play to Freiburg, giving Bayern Munich one hell of a game.

what a massive result for Dortmund. They haven't played well at all (No Reus No Party again), but are going to get 3 points. 2 late goals from Alcacer.

That game next week in Munich should be quite something.

no idea, didn't see the blondy-blonde!

The bird was in the goal for both his goals, so he survived the first one.

So long as he's ok, Dortmund will be signing up the pigeon.

Was watching on Fox Deportes, and they kept showing the bird busily pecking away inside the goal while intoning "cuidado," which I thought was fair play from the announcers...

There was a lot of concern on the English commentary too! He loved that end of the pitch. Got chased out at half time, flew to the other side of the pitch. Spent some time between the two coaches in the technical areas, then went back to that goal for the last half hour or so.

Bayern had a big slip today, I hope that may be the one Dortmund needed them to have. Dortmund are now ahead 2 points, with the same amount of games played. That was a great result Freiburg got today against them, and according to reports, they more than deserved it. In fact, may have deserved more.

I love Freiburg's caoch Christian Streich, after Kloppo, he's like my favourite 'other' German coach

It was a draw. but still, an amazing result for Freiburg - who also had lots of injury problems, and for Dortmund of course!

Next week Dortmund play Bayern, even a point in that for Dortmund, and then the league is there's to lose.

Whatever happens from now on, I reckon Niko Kovac's job is on the line. IF Bayern can get a higher profile coach, he'll be gone. I was sure he'd still be there next season but a result like today with the pressure on, won't fly with the Bayern bosses. Thrashing the most out of form team in the league at home as they did last match week isn't going to cut it or change many minds. The crowing about that result has gone very quiet.

Hattrick for Yussuf Poulsen today for RB Leipzig. Interesting with Werner likely going to Bayern in the summer, that it's Poulsen who's been Leipzig's main man this season and with his overall game has outshone Werner by some margin.

seems so. RB Leipzig's Ralf Rangnick has said he'll be sold in the summer. He isn't signing a new deal, and will have a year left on his current one, and Leipzig are not going to let him run down the deal. And Bayern is where he wants to go, press reports suggest they want him, although their fans don't from what I read!

His stock has fallen somewhat in the last 2 years, not helped by injuries for sure, but he's not quite lived up to the expectations that came from his goal scoring and peformances of his first season with Leipzig.

Big movers (apart from Dortmund) this weekend - Werder Bremen, leapfroging a few teams into 6th. Be so cool if they make the European spots. Great club and fans, and playing some excellent football under Florian Kohfeldt. They are really punching above their weight. And also Eintracht Frankfurt, into the CL spots now, after a 3-0 win vs Stuttgart. They are having a fantastic season. Filip Kostic is in some fine form for them, 2 goals for him today.

They are just doing horribly. I know Schalke have got all the headlines this season regards underperforming, but Stuttgart are right up there for me, with the most dissapointing team in the Bundesliga, if not more so. This squad should not be this poor.
