FC Bayern Munich 2007/08 OFFICIAL Thread

Which country do you think is most vulnerable out of those with four CL places?

Am I correct in saying that England currently have the best coefficient so far this season, Germany are third and Italy fifth?

The prob with England(not a prob though) have 4 big teams which will get them enough coefficient , Spanish uefa cup teams would do give them so that leaves Italy as their teams are reknowned for not taking Uefa cup seriously they are the target(specially if Serie A fails to regain its height of 90's).

Next thing you know Blue is going to be barging in here and blowing us all off.

Lucio has stated his desire to leave Bayern Munich and move to Italy or Spain.

The Brazilian is under contract for two-and-a-half more years but he hopes an opportunity will arise before his deal expires.
Lucio would welcome any offers from abroad and believes Bayern may be willing to let him go.
"I intend to fulfil my contract through to 2010, but nevertheless I have always dreamed of Spain or Italy," the defender told Deutsche Welle.
"I would love to play there one day and maybe I'll be able to
fulfil my dream a little earlier if I can reach an agreement with the
club.

"In football one can talk about anything if goodwill is shown by both sides."
The former Bayer Leverkusen man insists there is no chance of him staying beyond the end of his contract.
"I will definitely be leaving Germany after my time in Munich," he commented.

He hasnt been that great for us , we can probably get another good enough defender and let him go.

I heard there was an online poll at Bild where Rijkaard came 2nd as favourite to take over from Hitzveld. And Mathheus was 3th!

As long as he's 3th and not 3rd...

Who would be your preferred choice as the new Bayern coach?

If Bayern approached him he will consider it IMO, Bayern have some talented youngsters + technically gifted players .. imagine Bayern adopting his 3-4-3, you guys could be playing Totaler Fußball.

He will be 18 in Jan then he will be able to move as there are regulations for people under 18 to move.

Hitzfeld wird gehen - Kommt van Basten?

(Von Basten Hitzfeld's successor?)

Kicker.de tend to be pretty reliable; still would amaze me.

Would be a poor choice for both me thinks. Hitzfeld isn't doing well me thinks, certainly if you take into account the selection he has available. But Marco would be a dead wrong choice for Bayern.

Van Bommel must be scared shitless...

By the way we don't want you at Feyenoord Mark. If you value your life don't come anywhere near our stadium...

German Politician Hits Out At Bayern Spending


A leading German politician has hit out the huge sums of money being spent by the country's biggest football clubs, with Bayern Munich's move for Breno sparking his ire.

The president of the parliament, Norbert Lammert, was astounded by the fees being paid to by foreign footballers and thinks that the ages on offer are also wrong.

Bayern spent €69m in the summer to bolster their squad after missing out on a Champions League place last term and are now set to add to that in the winter market.

Lammert was clearly unhappy with the news that the Bavarian giants have agreed a deal sign 18-year-old defender Breno for around €14m from São Paulo.

"I am annoyed about the constant and substantial excesses which have blighted sport for years - particularly in football," Lammert told Bild.


"If the wealthiest German football club buys a Brazilian teenager for €14m and gives him an income which most family men can not gain after years of hard work, something is wrong."

Despite politicians in the country being awarded a nine per cent pay rise, Lammert spoke out after calls were made in the parliament to limit the wages of coaches in the Bundesliga.

Was having a chat with my friends and we thought if we made a movie for Bayern 2007/08 , what would be the cast , be creative some ideas that crept in the mind.
Soundtracks are a must



Willy Sagnol = Ethan Hawke

or
D. L. Hughley???

Jude Ciccolella from 24 and Sin City will be playing Beckenbauer

Maybe a stretch, but...Bale as Klose?

Hitzfeld=Tommy Lee Jones

or
lahm=Hayden Christensen

Open to ideas.
