I would be very happy if what you said turns out to be true but given the situation and the rumours around KDB to Dortmund and Schürrle to Chelsea I am not very optimistic that we are indeed as keen on keeping KDB. You also pretend that we have both KDB and Schürrle in our long-term plans. We also already have Mata, Oscar, Moses, Marin and Hazard, all of them young and likely playing for Chelsea for many seasons to come. 7 young players, all of them should get lots of playing time to develop and we only have 3 positions for them. It just doesn´t look like a good idea to me especially as we are desperate to sign a high-quality striker.

It´s not just a bit excessive to spent 20m GBP on a back-up player... It´s simply stupid. We should use the money we want to spend on Schürrle to buy someone like Falcao. KDB, Moses, Marin, Piazon and Kakuta are enough depth for our creative positions in my opinion. Maybe a experienced player that is ok with not playing much and coming for cheap but not 20m GBP for a player that is not even expected to be in our best starting XI

What about Piazon and KDB? 7 players, all of them need playing time and only 3 positions?

I don´t believe it but if there is no chance Chelsea is selling KDB then why is Dortmund trying so hard to get him? Dortmund is in a position to spend some money and has to find a replacement for Götze, so it makes sense for them to chase KDB. It also not a secret that we are trying to get Schürrle, why would we do that if we want to keep KDB?

Just use google...There are so many reports about that its really easy to find

Really? So you just ignore the reports that say that the transfer is already confirmed?

He might be better then Moses but Moses is going to be here next season... Do you just want to sell him again? And Marin too? What kind of transfer policy is that? At the same time we don´t have a place to integrate KDB and Piazon... But hey, just sell them for some change and go with Schürrle who is not even much of an upgrade

You know how many players I could list that prove that we are often times clueless on how to develop young players?

First of all, Schürrle is not a true winger. Second thing is he is not as good as Mata/Hazard who are his direct competition. We are going to pay lots of money for a back-up that is going to be sold in a few seasons because he cant get consistent playing time. Thats the way its going to be... Dont even want to mention Marin, Moses, Piazon and KDB. We simply DO NOT need another player like Schürrle. There are already too many players for our creative positions. For anyone who wants us to sign Schürrle, how are we going to keep Mata, Hazard, Marin, Moses, Piazon, KDB, Oscar and Schürrle happy?

It just seems that this teams is totally clueless on how to integrate and develop young players into the team.

That´s Chelsea. Next thing you know, we sell KDB to Dortmund ! Fantastic management... The stupidity of whoever makes these kinds of decisions is simply disgusting

Seriously the kind of things you read about Chelsea just make me totally frustrated and sad. Why would we sign Schürrle for a lot of money and at the same time sell KDB? What kind of sense does that make?

This transfer is going to be another disaster. Mark my words

An healthy and on-form Robben is way better then Mata. Unfortunately for Robben he cant stay healthy and seems to have become a bit of an headcase the last seasons. But remembering back to 2010/11 (14 games for Bayern, 12 goals and 10 assists and 2011/12 (36 games for Bayern, 19 goals and 10 assist) there is not much of a chance that Mata is ever going to reach Robbens peak. Also have to keep in mind how important Robben was for Bayern´s last two CL runs (that both lead them to the finals). He really stepped up his performance for the most important games

Happy about it. Must be the most overrated manager around and I am pretty sure that he would be a disaster in the EPL. Bayern is a good situation for him though, their style of play is somewhat similiar to Barca and they are by far the best team in the Bundesliga.

Haha Walker....... What a idiot. Acting like a tough guy while getting totally embaressed

I have put 100 euro (@ 3.2/1) on Chelsea to win the CL... We better dont mess this up

I cant even get angry at seeing Kalou start I really dont care who starts today, just want to see a good team performance....

damn now my stomach is bothering me... terrible timing

Thats great.... Like it. Poor cow though :biggrin:

German TV is reporting about the game since 1pm this afternoon... I wanted to keep myself busy and focused on non-football things but it didnt work out =(

Bayern are fickle at the back, even more so today because they their best defender (Badstuber) is suspended. Chances are 50/50 in my opinion... If we can play solid defensivly we win, if we cant Bayern will beat us.
