Were City and Bayern Munich in serious negotiations last summer?If so, Guardiola's decision to play Sane in the Community Shield was a pretty costly one.
Which centre back is likely to go with Alaba seemingly moving there full time and kouassi coming in, Hernandez?
First choice XI is probably going to be Neuer, Pavard, Boateng, Alaba, Davies, Kimmich, Goretzka, Muller, Sane, Gnabry and Lewandowski. Absolutely disgusting to be honest.
I would personally love Hernandez here. What was his problem at Bayern? Bad form?
Allegedly not settled, or his missus hasn’t. But he’s a crock too, and has been injured, so that won't help!I can’t stand him, but this is from brief viewings of him as a Simeone player, all he did was dive around and cry like he’d been shot every time someone was within a foot of him. Absolute twat.
Maybe, but his stats were ridiculous. I guess it would be a loan deal or Bayern would take a massive loss here.
Thiago when fit gets into that side. Their biggest weakness is Boateng who is way past it.
do you think he was helped considerably from being on a Simeone team?
Bayern-CEO Rummenigge reveals that @FCBayern was often interested in Jürgen Klopp: „Whenever we were looking for a coach, he was under contract" @SPORTBILD @LFC
Post-Covid, coming off a serious knee injury and just one year left on his contract. City will be disappointed they didn’t get the 100 million they might have gotten last summer, but considering the circumstances it’s still very good money.
Hopefully, they take Havertz as well they are building a scary team! and also weakening our rivals and competing for the same targets so yeah thanks Bayern
Perhaps. It's always difficult to judge a center half (even Mustafi looked at one point) but Hernandez looked really good, especially considering his age.Meanwhile, Christian Falk with some interesting quotes from Rummenigge:https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1278200335937482752?s=20Can't see him in Bayern. I bet it would really offend them if the biggest German coach probably ever wouldn't coach them. I actually think he would retire at 2024
I can’t see it now either. But he would have gone there before. And he did interview with them in 2008, same time as HSV turned him down for various mad reasons. Bayern decided to go with Klinsmann cos they thought they needed a higher profile name, rather than a coach from 2nd division Mainz.
1. Is HSV the club that rejected him because he came to the interview with ripped jeans?2. Worked out for the best. Klopp and Dortmund were perfect for each other. I feel like Bayern wouldn't excite him. Winning the league with Dortmund and Liverpool was the result of a long journey. With Bayern, it's just something that happens.
yeah it did work out for the best! BVB was the perfect club for him, and he for them too.And yes HSV where the infamous ‘ripped jeans refusers’ Although it wasn’t that he turned up for an interview dressed like that. It was that they’d been scouting him for a while and had seen how he dressed, they also didn't like that he smoked, they didn’t really like that the players called him by his nickname - Kloppo, they also claimed that they’d seen him turn up late for training. That accusation infuriated him, as it wan’t true, he is an absolute stickler for punctuality - no surprise! So yeah, HSV got it horribly wrong, but it turned out for the best for him and Dortmund and then us!
They've announced Kouassi too#MEI8TER@FCBayern#FCBayern verpflichtet Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi - Neuzugang erhält Vertrag bis 2024. #ServusTanguy https://fcbayern.com/m5X5r
Paulinho has done his ACL.
Unlucky. Hope he's able to return and jumpstart his career, seems like he's got tons of potential.
Relegation game 1st leg tonight. Starts 45 mins before the City game so will watch the 1st half. Hoping that Bremen can repeat what they did against Köln in the last game so I can rest a bit easier.
