Any team that loses Lewy is going to miss him but I think the narrative is far over played. Mane isnt a like for like replacement and never was meant to be. The system has changed consequently and we saw the good parts to that; the first four ish matches we had bundles of goals now were seeing the other side of that. If you're void of ideas and creativity Lewy could win matches still and without a proper number 9 thats definitely missing. We'll see, somethings got to give here and I still believe we have the talent to sort it out and if it doesnt probably Nag's is the first head to fall. 1 Quote

Calling Lewa a ‘proper number 9’ is like calling a McClaren a four door family car. The guy is an abnormality. What Bayern are missing is one the greatest players of all time, any sort of mediocrity following him leaving should be expected. Dozens of great centre-forwards wouldn’t do much to replace Lewa; Icardi for instance is a great scorer but isn’t 1/10 of Lewa. There really isn’t anything or anyone that can fix Bayern besides going through the growing pains of not having debatably (Gerd Muller) the greatest scorer in Bundesliga history. Just give it time, the team will adapt. 3 Quote

If nothing else the system we've tried to employ is what plays to our strengths so i dont really have a problem with it. The early signs show it can work and work well but how patient is management going to be? I dont think very but well see. Quote

Yet if it's true this hasn't had enough publicity, as it's a mixture of a criminal story and a comedy act, especially if Windhorst was indeed stupid enough not to pay the bill.

Considering that the CEO of the Israeli private detective company now denies the allegations as well, I assume Windhorst opened the checkbook... 1 Quote

But yea, it could be a lot more for us, but most Düsseldorf fans are fair weather fans. They only come to the stadium when there's a spectacle to witness. I remember when we were playing against relegation in 2. Bundesliga. The stadium was almost empty. Then when it slowly became clear that we might get promoted, they all came crawling out of their holes. Clubs like Schalke, Köln etc. have a much better and loyal fanbase, unfortunately. Quote
