    Thiago Alcantara

    He just signed a new contract 4 weeks ago.

    De Bruyne?

    You can't compare the quality of the Bundesliga 5 years ago with today. The overall quality of all teams is on a different level, the Wolfsburg team that won the league back then wouldn't make the top 4 today. It's no coincidence that only one German team made it out of the CL group stages when...

    FA's new homegrown proposals

    Yes, I'm sure. There are 3 important ones: 1. 12 German players with professional contracts have to be in the 25man squad. 2. 8 players in the squad have to be local players according to the UEFA rules (played 3 full seasons between the age of 15 and 21 at a German club) 3. 4 of those 8 players...

    FA's new homegrown proposals

    Bayern has 12 German players in the squad, which is the necessary minimum according to the rules. The Bundesliga introduced a quota, which says that 12 Germans have to be in every 25 man squad. Revamping the youth development was only the first step, it wouldn't have worked as well as it did if...

    European Club "owned" by Gangsters.

    While I usually don't care about stupid Nazi jokes, it really is completely off to use it against a club that was known as the 'Jew club' during the Nazi regime and faced severe repression, saw the Jewish president and the Jewish manager forced out of the country while the local rivals were used...

    Bundesliga review part 2. the new one :)

    Not buying him would have meant missing out on a few years of quality service for peanuts in wages, how is that a better decision? How do you know that the next best player who might have agreed on a contract without a release clause would have become a comparable success? In the end, they got a...

    Sweden VS Portugal WC play off

    The problem with Portugal was that Ronaldo did fuck all throughout the qualification, besides his hattrick against Northern Ireland. They relied heavily on Helder Postiga to score goals, which says a lot about Ronaldo and his performances for the nationalteam. Portugal's side is easily superior...

    Bundesliga review part 2. the new one :)

    Villa didn't fall out with Pep, and Zlatan and Eto'o didn't leave because their technique wasn't good enough. Pep found a way to use Mandzukic and publicly stated that he loves him and his style of play, so I don't see the problem with Lewandowski. If he keeps up his workrate, he will find an...

    Bundesliga review part 2. the new one :)

    Mata is clearly the wrong player for Klopp's idea of football. If Gündogan doesn't sign a new contract, they need a CM (not sure if Kehl is staying either) and they need a striker. Highly doubt they sign an AM unless Kagawa is available for a reasonable fee and wants to go back.

    Bundesliga review part 2. the new one :)

    Still think he's going to Bayern in the summer, there's just no reason to waste a year of his career in which he can win everything by being a lazy arrogant idiot. Klopp probably handled the drama very well and convinced him and the squad that they need to stick together and perform as they...

    Arsenal Thread 2013/14

    I never understood these comparisons, teams changed over the summer. It's also highly dependent on when the club plays these teams. Before and after big CL games you'll see different results than when you play some on a regular weekend. You can't compare how injuries affected both teams at the...

    Arsenal Thread 2013/14

    I think he's the perfect type of striker for Arsenal, so in a way he is exceptional, a bit like Mandzukic last season for Bayern. If you have quality attacking midfielders who are good for goals, a striker they can play off, who's brilliant at holding the ball and laying it off to them, is maybe...

    European Super League?

    With the way the leagues are developing financially, I highly doubt that a Super League without English and German teams would attract comparable money to the Champions League. Also it'll most likely lead to the participating clubs being excluded from UEFA/FIFA and the players at those clubs...

    Bundesliga review part 2. the new one :)

    Is someone really thinking we bought Götze for a huge amount of money, made him the best paid player in the team, just to weaken Dortmund and then bench him? He's the biggest German talent since Matthäus ffs. And he was injured for months, missed pre-season and again got injured when Ramires...

    lets be honest

    Juventus (0-2), not Marseille. Insane record really, Bayern have beaten the best Spanish, Italian and 2 of the best English teams in consecutive away games and none of the games was even close.

    Bayern Munich - pre match discussion thread

    Without any injuries in the next days, most likely it will be: Mandzukic Ribery Kroos Schweinsteiger Robben/Müller Lahm Alaba Dante Boateng Rafinha Neuer I agree with Maldeika, the biggest question is Robben or Müller on the right, hard to predict who's going to play out of those two. The...

    Marco Reus

    It was Reus' first season at Dortmund. His last season at Gladbach was equally impressive as Bale's last season at Tottenham. There were quite a few players who had one brilliant season (or 6 months like in Bale's case) with lots of screamers and almost none could do it again. The great players...

    Bayern Munich v City (Tuesday 10 December)

    Pretty sure, the S-Bahn is going all night. Just had a quick look, 04:09 central station, 04:55 airport for example. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

    Champions Lge Play-off draw Friday 9th Aug

    If Arsenal loose they're out. If Fenerbace get thrown out in court, another turkish club takes their place, not Arsenal. Why should UEFA's seeding be solely based on domestic results and ignore the results in their own competition? That's nonsense too. The seeding, is far from perfect and 5...

    Audi Cup other games

    Gomez wanted to go to Fiorentina. He had offers from better clubs for more money, but he decided he wants to play and be at a club where he is adored and loved. He never was a fan favorite at Bayern, even when he started regularly and scored a lot. Because of his decision only to move to...
