Bundesliga 2024/2025

This is good Brazil I think,
 
I heard Alonso getting 3 year deal
 
A lot of mamalukes in Hamburg yesterday. They never learn with these things. I am very happy Hamburg promoted but this is ridiculous.

Not just these assholes but in any sport anywhere, I never understood destroying your own stuff after a win, or a loss even.
 
Looks like Sané leaving. They offered 10 million + 5 in performance but he rejected it. Olise getting 13 to 14 million and no way Sané gets over that. Never scored double digit goals until this year. He is not a 20 million player like he thinks he is. Good luck getting $15 million in EPL. Bye
 
Well last Muller Bundesliga game starting. Would love to see a goal today.

The real fun today will be the Dortmund, Freiburg, Frankfurt results. Dortmund must love the schedule this season. All they need to do is beat Kiel by 2 goals and they are in. Although is Frankfurt lose 2-1 I think they are tied on points and goal differential. Then I don’t know the tie breaker.
 
Sané on the bench and then Olise hits spectacular set piece goal, Sané left foot supposed to be his specialty but no where near Olise. Olise left foot Robben like. Olise is definitely a 20 million player imo.
 
Paint not even dry and Liverpool has signed Frimpong today and yesterday Real sign Huijsen. I was hoping Bayern would land Huijsen.
 
Nice finish 4-0 over Hoffenheim. Muller era over. Bischof now Bayern property.
 
Post season report card imo:

A+: Olise (home run signing)
A: Davies, Dier (when Kompany played them and they were not hurt) superb.
B+: Kane, Laimer (Kane had a dead stretch during season and relied on penalties to pad stats). Laimer hardest worker.
B: Musiala (needs to pass more), Upa (less gaffs, no reds), Kimmich, Urbig (the future), Stanicic.
B-: Goretza, Sane, Pavlovic. Inconsistent. With Pavs (injuries and illness), Muller (definitely slowed down).
C: Guerrero (versatile but pace hurt him), Kim (way too many gaffs), Neuer (aging out)
C-: Coman and Gnabry. Nothing has changed with these two the past few years. Most shots and crosses into the crowd.
D: Ito, Palinhna, Tel, Boey. Injuries and / or big underachievement.
F: Ulreich (zero minutes, leave of absence, a red card, and a new contract). Ouch.

Kompany a B+, management a C+.

N/A on the others who barely got time.

Thoughts?

Part of Bayern’s strength as I see it is the fact they are so deep. You start getting rid of all those bodies you just mentioned and they’re not quite as deep.

I agree but Kompany won't play the young players and he ran this team into the ground, especially the defense with the high line. He barely played Dier until Kim and Upa were being held together with duct tape. The defense cannot be this thin next season. No way that Vidovic should not have played more.

Some of the bodies are overpayed too. Bayern need $150 million just for Wirtz release clause. $90 millon will come from club world cup. Wirtz with Bischof you know what that means? It means Goretzka gone (big salary), Palinha probably gone too, Coman gone too (big salary please EPL sign him), Boey gone, Muller gone (big salary) and now Sane gone too (big salary). Gnabry (big salary) I heard is staying. Tah on Bayern radar now too for another center back. They need one more center back or they maybe they can manage it until Ito back. A left back needed too (who knows when Ito and Davies back), right back set with Stani and Laimer. Midfield completely set. Need one more wing (could be a youngster like Vidovic or Wanner or Simons from Leipzig) and a backup striker. Then they are set. Davies and Wirtz will eat up big salaries too so some have to go.
 
I’ve got no other place to put this comment so I’ll make it here. Nice of JD Vance to threaten people coming over to watch the World Cup with don’t stay too long or we will deport you.

Personally, I hope the world boycotts all the US games. I know they won’t but I’d love to see it anyway.
 
Within 10 days we’ll know where Wirtz goes. Man City out. Down to Liverpool or Bayern. Met with Liverpool, meeting Bayern this week. Bayern proposal for this summer or possibly next summer. Real Madrid lurking too.

Hearing ESPN today looks like Wirtz to Bayern. Does not want to leave Germany at this time. Wow. That would be awesome that midfield next season.

Also, Bayern eyeing Kaoru Mitoma from Brighton. 10 goals last season in EPL last season. Not bad. Sane numbers without the negativity. Can be had for $40 million at Bayern. Rejected Saudi Arabia for $75 million. No saki there I guess. The wing problem may be solved: Olise, Musiala, Gnabry, Mitoma, Vidovic for now. Midfield: Wirtz, Kimmich, Pavs, Bischof.

Funny story: When Liverpool Jordan Henderson went to Saudi Arabia his wife realized once there she could not drive. Yikes. He was out of there so quick after that.

Now hearing Liverpool front runner. Looks like done deal. Oh well. Bayern have other holes and $100 million transfer fee is a lot . Would have been nice been reading more informed Bayern fans with Wirtz too many creaters and not enough runners. Liverpool has the runner and not enough creaters.

Yep, even us humble Canucks are considered illegal terrorists after 30 days.
 
Well now that Wirtz gone (father said he wanted his son to step to a bigger leagure) and (if Liverpool can afford the transfer fee), what is next? Looks like Jonathon Tah done and dusted as new center back and looks like Upa extending, center back not as big a deal, the left wing numero uno for Bayern. My thoughts:

Nico Williams should be the obvious choice. Proven at an elite level, $58 million affordable clause. Only 22. Rayan Cherki, better to watch, cheaper, more technically gifted and will make an immediate impact. Questions are there about his attitude. Rafaell Leao, again proven at an elite level. Lots of European experience as well. At 25 he's in prime and Milan missing out on all European competitions will drive down prices. Bradley Barcola would be fantastic but expensive. Even Xavi Simons with Leipzig out of Europe but not as impressed as the others at this point. And then there is Rodrygo who has the most potential but had a bad La Liga year and did not play as much and Brazilians never have done great in the Bundesliga.

Now even Bayern thinking to up Sane offer. Please no on that. One of the above would be great. Now you have to cash to make the move to juice up the stale wings. Olise part 2. Make it happen.

Also, get a back up striker. Tel not the guy.

P.S. Bayern not a stepping stone club so good riddance Wirtz.
