Gotze - signed for Bayern

[BlueAnorak]

Txiki's first failure.

if Gotze is singed for Bayern, that means he will probably play in the role behind striker, the role Toni Kroos plays in, perhaps we should go for him as he may not be happy playing second fiddle (and is an incredible player with an awesome shot).

They won't play a striker. "False 9".

Bye bye Gomez. Worth a punt?

and Mandzukic and Pizzaro? Why should Bayern abandon a style of football that has carried all before it this season and been arguably more effective than Barca's style of with 4-3-3 and false 9?

They will play the way guardiola wants, and his barca teams style was %1000 above this munich team because they not only we an absolute pure brilliant team to watch they managed to win leagues in a row and were consistant in europe.

not knocking bayern this season they have been for me with dortmund the best team in europe just there isn't an argument when it comes to what style is more succesful when played to the best barca have proved it.

The trouble is in Germany when Bayern come sniffing around nobody can stop them getting what they want. Nobody has the clout to stand up to them. They are a playground bully that steals your packed lunch. Dortmund have nothing like the financial clout and they are almost powerless to stop them.

It's a long standing tactic of Bayern's to unsettle players from their closest rivals in the table, promise them worldly riches and turn their eye. Yet last year they had the nerve to accuse City of being transfer bully boy tactics.

I can think of the way they plundered the coach plus Ballack and Ze Roberto from Leverkusen, Neuer from Schalke, Dante from Mönchengladbach, Olic and Pizarro from Bremen, Gomez from Stuttgart, and way back Hitzfeld from Dortmund; all because they saw a threat emerging and, because they had the clout to stop them in their tracks, they did. Half of the time they don't even want or need these players. They just do it to nullify any
In terms of treachery, it's difficult to actually remember many worse betrayals than this. This is a young lad who was the face of everything that was good about the Dortmund side that Klopp had built from nothing with no money. He was the symbol of a great youth system and of a club that had players that wanted to play for that club as one happy family. He (and soon Lewandowski) have shattered that myth. He signed a huge contract extension last year because he didn't want to play anywhere else. Götze was the defining image of everything that was good about German football. Now he is the image of everything that is bad about German football, because Bayern have no scruples about what they do and how they do it. Never have done, never will do. Crowds across the Bundesliga are going to plummet as the league becomes the biggest one horse procession in footballing history year after year. The moral highstanding of Bayern on world football and the evils of money was all very audible when they were being usurped for the title by a team built on £20 million. But they got scared that they had met their domestic match for once and the best way to guarantee that that club won't dare to make such a threat again is to do what they did to Leverkusen and destroy them from within. Where is their moral highstanding now?

As for that little shit, Götze, Klopp has to be strong and drop him for the rest of the season. His presence is only going to do more harm than good, especially if Dortmund were to meet Bayern in the Final. How can he be trusted to give his all when he's been collaberating with the enemy behind the club's back for these last few weeks?

Excellent post. This is exactly what FFP is all about, the established elite of Bayern, Scum, Barca, Real, Milan want to ensure no 'smaller' clubs can gatecrash what they've been doing for years, cherry picking the best of their rivals talents each year. Their biggest fear of course being that the likes of City and PSG could eventually be cherry picking their own top performers.
Dortmund have been held up as the great example of how to run a football club, yes just like Ajax, develop fantastic footballers for the benefit of teams like Bayern to plunder and then return to your rightful place in their shadow and start again. The only way you can compete with the arrogance, fame and finance of these clubs is with the kind of financial backing City and PSG are fortunate enough to have. Without this there is no hope of competing consistently with the very best.

Messi makes any style successful

Haha Gotze cut the balls off his own club. You'd think he'd tell them to wait until the CL is over considering the release clause. What a little prick.
