    Bayern: what now ? Empty Bayern: what now ?

    Post by Ä Tue Jan 16, 2007 3:31 pm

    Deisler's surprise retirement has left Bayern Munich in a pickle

    Hoeness has to buy an entire midfield this summer

    1. Ribery will become the number 1 target; Bayern tend NOT to get their preferred players though; if they don't get Ribery, who else is on the market ?

    2. Saliha is on his way to Juve, ON A FREE

    3. Hargreaves looked likely to be sold as well at the end of the season; Hoeness might be wise NOT to sell the Canadian just to maintain a minimum of stability

    on paper, Bayern could go for Robben, Ribery, Riquelme and Bastuerk

    in reality, Robben is likely to go to Real, Ribery to Arsenal, Riquelme to stay put; Bastuerk is a real option though

    otherwise, Bayern could shift Schweini to central attacking midfield, and make Lahm a proper midfield winger; they should then go for Jansen at left back

    they will now rue the day they sold Trochowski to HSV

    it's all a bit of a mess

    Keep Hargreaves & get VDV seems like a good start.
    I doubt Robben would leave Chelsea, now J.Cole has done a 'Kewell'.

    Van Gaal will take over and rejuvenate the club ok

    It's been rumoured for ages now he will take over in the summer....if he does a comparable job to what he's done for AZ, it'll be a gods gift for Bayern.


    ....I did read somewhere however that Van Basten might take over Yikes

    Van Bommel's comment : if that's true than there'll be two Dutchies on the transfer list....

    VDV sounds like a more realistic option... Bayern tend not to buy too expensive stars... so I guess some poaching may happen in the german, dutch or french leagues...

    van Gaal will not come any time soon

    Bayern are unlikely to sack Magath unless he really blows it this time

    VDV would now be a real option, agreed

    having said that, if Beiersdorfer sells VDV , he might as well resign

    Bayern should sack Hoeness and get Allofs; sooner rather than later

    would not be surprised if they made a move for Diego

    We have some very good midfielders in our team at present. And we will still have good midfielders in the summer when the others have left. Otto, dear lad, if you're trying to panic Bayern fans into some kind of ridiculous crusade against Hoeness and Magath then you need to work a lot harder.

    I agree that selling Trochowski was a mistake, in hindsight. Yet that was 2 years ago now. Who could have forseen all of these developments?

    Hoeness will have to do something he never has before, and that is spend real money. VdV would be my preferred option. Ribery, Riquelme, Robben, Basturk and Cristiano Ronaldo are all possibilities.

    We'll just have to wait until the summer and see what happens.

    Why would a player in the best form of his life move to a smaller club in a less prestigious league to earn less money?

    Bayern have similar success in the last 20 years, less supporters worldwide, less money (Man U consistently in top 2 richest clubs).

    How about this?

    - - - - - - - - - - - Oliver Kahn - - - - - - - - - - -

    Sagnol - - - - Lucio - - Van Buyten - - - - Lahm

    - Van Bommel - Borowski - Schweinsteiger -

    - - - - - - - Makaay - - - - - Podolski - - - - - - -


    Or play Andreas Ottl/Demichelis instead of Van Bommel, so you will have a DM player in the midfield.

    Sell Hargreaves and sign Riquelme in Jan.
    Sign Borowski in the summer.

    Even if he sell Hargreaves , that will be for around 17 m pound , we can easily get 2 good players for that much.
    Another winger is wanted though , a good one.
    VDV is a realistic target specially if HSV get relegated.

    Ribery is crap, I hope to God we don't get him.

    Do you think Ottyl will make the grade?

    *puts on Champo hat*

    What I would do is bid for Zokora, he hasn't been overly impressive at Spurs so far and they might be willing to listen to offers, you can tell he has class as well - so thats the DM sorted.

    Right wing... hmm... You have Scweine on the left who will be cutting in so ideally you could do with someone that sticks on the wing and whips in the crosses, how about SWP? Wink

    Basturk sounds good for an attacking midfielder.

    @ Isar

    There is no way whatsoever that ronaldo would consider joining Bayern.

    If he leaves then IMO its only to Madrid, Juve or possibly Inter

    Basturk is a decent option but a squad player at most not a first teamer , Ottl has a good chance of making it (IMO) he has to add some attacking threat to his game though.
    SWP would be too expensive , better players then him are worth less.
    For DMC i would like us to get Kehl.

    Bayern Munich are interested in signing Riquelme.

    Valencian TV station Canal 9 claims that Argentinian giants Boca Juniors, Mexican duo America and Rayados de Monterrey and Bundesliga big boys Bayern Munich are also interested.

    It is believed Villarreal are happy to let the 28-year-old go, but Riquelme's departure depends on the player's willingness to leave.

    There is no reason to panic at the moment, but the summer will be a real challenge for Hoeness.

    VDV is the most likely target IMO. Doesn't look like the HSV has sorted out his problems in the winter break, so VDV might want to leave the sinking ship at the end of the season.

    I've heard, Hoeness hasn't yet talked with Ribery because he didn't wanted to put too much pressure on Deisler. Now after Basti's retirement, I hope Hoeness takes the initiative to get Ribery.

    Re Boateng should stay in Berlin for two or three more years. He's not yet prepared to play at Bayern and would probably end as a second Rau. Shocked

    Does Gerland have some young German midfielders in his team? Only know Kopplin and Kroos. Kooplin is a defender, right? And Kroos is a bit too young I guess, but maybe there is an USEFUL player in the Bayern youth or Bayern II team for the bench?! Btw what has happened with Görlitz? Is he injured?

    Regarding Hargreaves, before the retirement of Deisler and Brazzo's decision, I was 100% sure Bayern would sell him at the end of the season, but now with at least 5 mids (Scholl, Karimi, Brazzo, Deisler, Dos Santos) leaving/retiring, I seriously doubt it. Ottl is not really an option yet and going into a new season with probably 5 or 6 new midfielders, who will need time to settle in, is not really Bayern-esque, is it.

    All in all, Hoeness will have some sleepless nights, but I hope he takes the money they have and invest it into some international players in the summer (e.g. Ribery, Robben or Riquelme), and the remaining gaps were filled with some players from other Bundesliga clubs (e.g. Schlaudraff, Altintop, Bastürk or VDV).
    And who knows, maybe it's a start of a bright future... scratch Biggrin

    Are Man Utd not £600 million in debt which is why a lot of their "hardcore supporters" dumped them and formed a new club?

    And the similar success thing over the last 20 years is a joke. Football didn't start 20 years ago, and even if it did our record in all competitions is much better.

    Man United do have a lot of debt, but at the moment and for as long as they continue to be successful on the pitch they seem to have more money available to spend on transfers and wages than Bayern seem to be willing to do. As for their hardcore supporters dumping them - they have the largest capacity stadium of any club in England and it's almost always nearly sold out.

    Agree that football didn't start 20 years ago (and on that basis Liverpool are a bigger club than Bayern Wink ) but recent performance is more important to players because they want to join a winning side. And your domestic record is only better than Man United because your domestic league is weaker.

    I can't believe I've just done 3 posts on how Man U are a big club Doh. No-one tell Parks.
