Ribery Staying with Bayern

Yeah, just watching when that came through.

Definitely thought he would be on the move this summer.

Plenty more fish in the sea though.

Aaah well.

Sorry mate, but the German league is much better than the Spanish one, regardless of what some pundits say. Bayern are arguably as big a club as any in the world, and he's playing under a world class manager in Van Gaal.

There may be an element of that involved to be fair, these days if you want to be truly tested at club level, you go to England, Spain or Italy. French league football, and German league football, simply don't have the strength in depth or talent pool that the "big three" do. You have to wonder, if you're supposedly one of the World's top talents, why would you avoid playing at the highest level possible?

Billy, glad you said it as I was about to. I think once his baggage is sorted out he'll move on. To say he doesn't fancy it in one of the big 3 leagues hints of arrogance. That's SSN and Talkshite speak. There is nothing wrong with the German league, apart from the fact that it's run properly and teams can't get into £bn's worth of debt to finance wages that will eventually bankrupt the club!

Hence why Robinho couldn't take it here or in Spain. He doesn't have the mentally to fight.


As for Ribery, I saw him play against the dark side in the chimps league and he didn't look as good as I thought he would be. Robben was the player that carried Bayern through the stages and looked more dangerous on the ball.
