Bayern München Thread

Gotta love them airing their dirty laundry in public. Shitasses!

Surprised Hoeneß didn't mention Dreesen's human dignity and German constitution in this context.

Rummenigge has returned to Bayern.

[Viva la FCB+]

Never really left but yeah hes formally part of the  board now.

[Viva la FCB+]

Seems he is going to be the Cancelo replacement. Ive always liked him, super versatile player. On the free, so ofc we are interested. 

 

[Viva la FCB+]

Laimer finally official. Also this is kind of hilarious. 

 

[Viva la FCB+]

There was talk a Davies extension was all but signed before Brazzo got sacked. This is actually quite a bit worse then that. By all accounts Davies is still happy here and this could be just agent speak but i dont like it at all.

Bayern make the news, for non-sporting reasons this time. Munich main customs office claim some of their employees had to work more hours than they were contractual obliged too regularly and were paid less than the minimum wage, therefore, in the years 2016 to 2021. In 2018 Hoeneß and Rummenigge hosted that infamous pc, where they claimed critizising their players would violate said players human dignity. The rights of their worse-paid employees seem to have been much less of a concern, though.

@nudge may be a prophet after all. Plettenberg has said that Füllkrug is his choice prediction as far as our striker search goes. It does make alot of sense, someone that can bang in goals and is relatively affordable. The prices for the available players on the striker market are absolutely mental and nearly all of them are somewhat of a gamble as well.

Can't you just spend a 100m for some overrated striker from abroad or something

Well they could promote Cuni from their II team. If he was good enough to come on as a substitute for a team like us, when on loan, he's good enough to be starter for Bayern, in my honest opinion.

Theres just nothing that throwing that money at even seems appealing. Id much rather do this If it was my choice!

The partnership between Bayern and Qatar Airways ended. Mentioning this, because an appreciable proportion of active Bayern fans will be relieved, since they protested against this cooperation, although I guess the reason for the end is the Qatar WC has taken place already.

New Sporting Director search is over apparently

 

[Viva la FCB+]

Bild has an article out about this as well. This is sad to hear There was also some mention of another operation he had last week.

 

[Viva la FCB+]

Assuming Pavard gets sold we might be a little thin at the back for depth but overall I'm a fan of this move. I have high hopes for Stanisic but he definitely needs more minutes. Word is loan only, no buy option, which is perfect.

 

[Viva la FCB+]

I liked the slow zoom in on his legs and tight shorts

I cant wait. This looks amazing. I loved that team and that was the defining era. 

 

[Viva la FCB+]

Sounds like no Kimmich for tomorrow, Choups is a doubt but Musiala sounds like he will be in the squad. Interesting to see how a midfield of Goretzka and Laimer works out. 

[Viva la FCB+]

Gnabry broken forearm confirmed in the cup match. Kratzig continues to show promise and Tel keeps on his torrid pace. De Ligt wont be ready for RB on the weekend but it sounds like hopefully Upa and Kim should be. 

[Viva la FCB+]

We really should not have loaned Stanisic if Pavard was being sold with no replacement. Sounds like De Ligt is back training so hopefully hes fit.

 

[Viva la FCB+]

With Kratzig signing a professional deal Pavlovic has now has as well following his senior debut against Darmstadt on the weekend. Great stuff to see, Kratzig has looked good in his limited minutes so lets see what Pavlovic has. Likely will feature off the bench against Dortmund but we'll see how the injury situation goes. 

Quote

FC Bayern have handed 19-year-old Aleksandar Pavlovic a professional contract valid until 30 June 2027. The Munich-born defensive midfielder has been playing for the German record champions since the age of seven and made his Bundesliga debut in the 8-0 win over Darmstadt at the Allianz Arena last Saturday.

“I grew up at FC Bayern and am very happy to have now signed my first professional contract. I’ve dreamed of this since I was little. Many thanks to everyone who’s supported me at the FC Bayern Campus. I want to learn in every training session and will keep working hard on myself,” Pavlović said.

[Viva la FCB+]

De Ligt reportedly out 4-6 weeks with an MCL injury. All things considered thats actually not the worst outcome. We are super, super thin trying to make it into the winter break here 

[Viva la FCB+]

Great first assist; Pavlovic on Kane's third on the weekend. Awesome to see!

[Viva la FCB+]

Musiala was clearly a hamstring injury yesterday, original prognosis was either 2-4 weeks depending on severity but Sport 1 is now saying this. Best case scenario probably. Either way this should give Müller a bit more of a chance which Im a fan of also.
