When exactly is Schweini coming back from injury and I feel Robben should start ahead of Muller against Basel...

Robben wasn't off form, the problem was playing Schweini-Kroos plus Tymo as right back, now everyone trying to blame it on Robben

According to transfermarkt.de, Schweinsteiger is supposed to come back around the middle of March 2012: http://transfermarkt.de/de/bastian-schweinsteiger/profil/spieler_2514.html

same here, kroos was the problem not robben.

bayern in white looks strange.

ribery wasnt offside! fssss

two footed tackle on kroos from behind, should be a yellow!

boateng saved in the last moment!

boateng is the best player of first half.

Jupp heynckes weak link of munich

BTW, did I see it right that Badstuber had more attempts on goal than Gomez today? XD

Badstuber is doing fine. Our defense is looking great. Especially with Lahm at right back.

While Schweinsteiger is injured, Alaba needs to take his place, though. Why no faith in Contento? Our midfield is shit without Alaba there. I do not like Kroos so far back. He's clearly better in an advanced position.

Gómez is tired and maybe Olic should be starting some games to get his scoring boots on and to gain confidence. Or perhaps Müller up front?

If Jupp wants Lahm back at RB, fine. But frakking do it game after game and don't do it mid game. All these weird tactical tweaks he's made lately have backfired.

Jupp has made some terrible mistakes in the last 3 month or so, benching Robben makes no sense...

Your depth problem is catching up. Players are just tired
Also, nice restructure

Yep, pretty much. There's very little rotation because our bench just ain't good enough and defense wise we have NO backups.

It's going to be made even worse by having a lot of players leave on a free this summer. It should be a buzy transfer season for Bayern.

The bench is good. Olic should start more. Alaba can play instead of Piggy. Contento was just injured too much, same with piggy. You could rest Lahm by playing Contento+ Rafinha. Tymo and Gustavo are plenty enough cover for DM area. Shaqiri will cover for Robbery+Müller. The only area Bayern lack depth is central defence.
The team is overplayed because of bad man management by Heynckes and lack of luck ( piggy and Contento injuries)

Lahm doesn't need rest, he's not human.

Schweinsteiger being injured for the second time now is the biggest blow to Bayern, also there's the Müller/Kroos/Robben dilemma. Kroos clearly should play at CAM, he's so influential there, he really reminds me of a short Ballack. Müller is great, but he can be great on the wing as well, just have him rotate with Robben. I love Müller to death, bur Robben has too much impact to not play him at RM and he'll still get injured often enough that Müller doesn't get rusty.

Also Müller could fill in for Gomez if Bayern really had any problems with replacements.

But stick Kroos to CAM, everyone can see that Bayern are always better when he's played there, it's probably the 2nd biggest impact on Bayerns performance after Schweinsteigers presence on the pitch, who simply is Bayerns most important and valuable player, period.

Alaba played so well. He beast on the left like someone who played there his whole life maybe, bayern found the solution to their LB problem?

They should certainly try that more often, he was very composed.

Now that Schwein's back, Alaba should definitely be played at LB for the remainder of the season.

Dat Lahm-Robben flank

I have no frakking clue what LBs are available this summer.

I wish the board can extend this players contract.

Robben and Butt, then

Release or sell; Breno, Van Buyten, Pranjic and Olic.

Loan out: Petersen, Contento and Usami.

Buy: Dante, Jan Vertonghen, Sahin, Shaqiri and Dzeko..


Next season

Goalkeeper; Neuer, Butt
Rb: Lahm and Rafinha.
CB: Dante, Boateng, Badstuber and Jan Vertonghen
LB: Jan Vertonghen and Alaba
DM: Gustavo and Tymo
CM: Schweini and Sahin.
RW: Robben and Shaqiri
AM: Kroos and Muller
LW: Ribery and Alaba
CF: Dzeko and Gomez.


With this we'll have a strong depth.

Well, afaik Butt will reture to become coach, Olic will move to Wolfsburg and Shaqiri is already bought of the above.

Two big news. Nerlinger is in Madrid where Pizza had aborted his vacation mid-way & signed the contract.

And apparently we want to wrap the Javi Martinez deal for 23M.

And ofcourse Bild which is the most disgusting piece of shit ever. They re-used Robben's old comment about him saying he will re-evalute his tenure at Bayern after the dropping with regards to Bayern fans booing him.

Downright cheap & potentially illegal maybe. Robben is playing a friendly against Bulgari with the NT so he is probably in Netherlands now. How on earth would Bild get this quote today?? And none of the Dutch Media are reporting this. Add to that Robben has said multiple times that Bild is openly attacking him & thus he is boycotting them.

Why on earth would he call a Press Agency he hates from Netherlands to Germany to suddenly declare he would re-evaluate his career. And no other media can confirm this.

Bild is Just Trash.

Robben isn't going anywhere, with that said.

I also learnt that Nerlinger was in Madrid but I thought he was meant to tie-up Sahin's deal, but to be honest I think signing Sahin is better for the team thanJavi Martinez, we currently have Gustavo and Tymo who are ok for Defensive Midfield Role.


I don't know much about Javi Martinez, can he operate as CM, do you think he'll be a good replacement for Schweini.


In addition to that, I also Understand that our transfer budget for the coming season, is about £60m and we've currently spent £9m on Shaqiri, £4m on Dante, so if we spend another £23m on Javi Martinez, that's going to leave us with £24m, so in that case we might still be able to afford Howedes and Giroud....


Obviously, Howedes deal will be part-exchange with Rafinha. £16.5M for Giroud, £7m+ Rafinha for Howedes and £500k for Weiser and everyone is happy.

In
Javi Martinez
Giroud
Pizarro
Shaqiri
Howedes
Dante
Starke.
Weiser.

I really hope we can sign all these players, reason being that most of those players are not only talented but they are also physically fit and mostly above above 6.1f tall.

Say for example, Shaqiri is 5.7f but his physical present will make up for his height, also he's a winger and winger do not necessarily have to be big, but they need to be strong and their small body posture is also an advantage as it will allow them dribble pass defenders easily. In addition to this, Shaqiri is also a versatile player who can play in both wings and also a very young player with winning mentality, playing alongside 2 of the best wingers in the world like Ribery and Robben only means he'll get better in a matter of time and one day even become better than both.

1 - Its 60 Million Euros not Pounds. Everywhere Euros work,Pound only works in England.

2 - No chance of Sahin,he has said Madrid was his boyhood dream & he wants to stay. Madrid want him to stay too. And he will not be a Starter here whereas he is guaranteed to start at Dortmund or Milan.

3 - Martinez is 23M,that is huge. And Nerlinger was in Madrid to apparently watch Barca vs Bilbao. Madrid is Spain's capital so its natural he will stay in madrid and not elsewhere.

4 - Howedes is not coming. Schalke said he is not for sale. His contract gets over in 2014,so maybe next year he can come & bench Boateng.
