Santos can trigger the 2 year extension option on Neymar's contract and I'm pretty sure they will. There'd be no new buy out clause, wages or anything of the sort. So there's actually no need for the club to rush things. They are sure to get the money they want. Be it 2013 or 2015.

Ribery had a problematic aura? What's that supposed to mean? Robben has always been a little fast to go down so no breaking news there but Mandzukic had problems with authority? Well, not considerably more than any other player out there I'd say. He played under Felix Magath who is considered a...

Oh boy. Daily Fail at it yet again. Could have made it £120 million to keep the story a little more realistic but instead went straight for the crotch. Those interns just don't know where to draw the line, do they?

Thing is after successfully defending the title, players will start to yearn for more glory and set their sights on international titles. You won't get the best players on the market either if all you ever do is win the league whilst being trashed in the early stages of the CL. Winning the...

The problem here seems to be that Guardiola got quoted wrong. The interviewer was some guy from "dpa", a german news agency who asked Pep about the rumours surounding him and Bayern. Pep's answer was: "Bayern Munich already got a manager and that is Jupp Heynckes. To talk about that now would...

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4740888/Pep-Guardiola-snubs-Man-Utd-Chelsea-AC-and-Bayern-for-City.html What a joke. Even though I rate Pep I doubt Bobby would be sacked with his contract running til 2017 and the team qualifying for the UCL directly this year. Aarrghh...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that those are Telekom Seats for their staff. Trainees for exampel can apply for those free seats but have to wear white capes in return.

Nothing new there. That was sure to come since the Club's Statute allows for 30% of the "Bayern Muenchen AG" to be sold to investors while 70% have to be held by the club itself. That was decided by their general assambly not too long ago. Could be interesting to see to whom they will sell...

This @JoeMercer'sWay I think we both agree that Rummenigge and Hoeness are minute-jacks of the highest degree and will use all means nescessary to justify their opinion and assure that the status quo (concerning europe's footy-elite) won't change over night by the hands of some wealthy...

Now all that's left is to make that same list for all 8 of the 2001 CL-Quarter-Finalists to see how many homegrown talent they had in their squads at the time. Apart from Ajax almost none of the big clubs had a successful youth concept going for them during the 90's up to the first years of the...

German media have been reporting all week. Bayern will pay the full amount. Thing is the clause is somewhat warped. Martinez has to show up at the spanish FA to deposit the money himself. BILD been writing that some Bayern officials will acompany Martinez and hand over a cheque worth the 40 mil...

There's a buyout clause guys. What do we learn from that? If you don't want the player to turn his back on you halfway through just make the clause ridiculously high. Bilbao's own fault for agreeing to a 40 mil buyout clause. Look what happened. Some Club who's willing to pay the money came...

And we all know it.

German media (BILD) reporting that Martinez' parents went to see Urrutia to pursue him to let their son go off to Bayern. Some of Martinez' agents were there as well. Munich local paper TZ interviewed Hoeness two days ago. He said something along the lines of 'His (Martinez) fee would usually...

If my German doesn't fail me on this one Bayern are actually willing to pay the release clause but Bilbao won't accept it from them directly. Instead they want the release clause to be executed in the most formal and correct way which means Martinez has to pay the fee himself. He's got to...

A lot actually. He answered a post mentioning martinez' fee of 40 mil (which would be euros) with the statement that ramos and coentrao both cost 30 mil. Doesn't take much to guess which currency was meant.

Watched Kroos during the later minutes in the GER-ARG friendly yesterday and he looked the genuine article to me. Great vision and passing. that pass during overtime straight down the middle had "world class" written all over it. He may not be as versatile as Muller or as much of a goal threat...

BILD's vice dditor-in-chief was the one who turned up with the news so I suppose the deal is 99% done. He wouldn't go as far as claiming the deal done if it wasn't the case. BILD did that once in the past and got strictly critcised for that. Not only by Bayern officals but their own readers as...

You gotta give Rammy and dan some credit there. "Top squad" doesn't equal "top club". You won't ever be considered a top club unless you make it big in Europe and even those who mangage to win the UCL but then fail to perform among the elite on a constant basis are quickly forgotten like it...
