Beckenbauer, Schweinsteiger should have gone for a last pay day in the MLS that's his level now, Ouch!

That's gotta hurt, but i think the RAGS are gonna be glad schweinsteiger's joined them i've always rated him highly , he is a class act. I mean ofcourse he's joined the rags but come on, he was the MOTM in the WC final. Just got injured last season and pep's tactics are awful for him and thiago suits it better along with alonso. he'll be top for them

Do we want them to qualify for the CL group stages and have that burden on them for the first 4 months of the season (that will truly f' them up) or would we swap that for 72 hours of non stop laughing as they fall at the first hurdle ?

No. I don't like them getting a throw in so no.

Good post, but one glaring error - Bundesliga teams only play 34 games a season! 93 out of a possible 136 is around 68%, or 26 games a PL season. Still a reasonable amount of games, so let's hope his age means more injuries.

The Germans get a real winter break as well, we have a crowded Xmas/New Year schedule

If they lose then they'll have the distraction of the EL on Thursdays - I think.
The good news is that they will probably qualify from their group thus getting additional games; the bad news is that their perceived global fan base will be good for the competition and the draws and allocation of match day officials will reflect this.

In a far more competitive League, with fewer fouls, at a much faster pace, alongside Phil Jones?

I think I'll reserve judgement until they've played Stoke away in winter thanks you very much.

I want them to fail miserably because the scummy bastards will still have the burden of Europa League matches and Thursday / Sunday games.

However, I can't see UEFA allowing that to happen.

It'd be priceless if they drew Fernerbahce and Van Persie scored a hat trick against them and knocked them out.

Hope they get barca in the group stage so they know whst it's like to play against that team at the moment! Imagine what them 3 up top would do to them! Hope they finish 3rd in champs lge group and then are in europa league! As for there squad it's not been strengthened that much! It looks like they've lost van persie, di maria, falco 2 definitely they've brought in a right back that no one has heard off schnerderlin was playing league 1 football a few yr back and really struggled the only time I saw him play at the top level for france v brazil. The german pig is a gamble that could pay off but it's 50/50 and depay again is a gamble because he's never experienced this league and comes from a very poor dutch league! Also can't get in to a very poor dutch team at the moment! Also does the turtle really no what formation he wants to play? His squad seems so lob sided! 3 at the back again? Bog brush head up front with shrek? Still time to go yet but they both look at bit clueless at the moment turtle and woodward!

That's just cruel..even for a Monday morning.
