Guest Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I do have a question. Will anyone else ever win the league again ? The record number for consecutive league titles is 13 I think from Rosenberg. Could beyern break it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record number for consecutive league titles is 13 I think from Rosenberg. Could beyern break it? Just my opinion, and maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I do feel like Lewandowski, Müller, and Neuer are generational talents that will be extremely difficult to replace when they leave/retire. I tend to think that Bayern's grasp on the league has slipped in the last couple years and their titles have been more a function of other teams failures than Bayern's successes. That being said, it is true in that Bayern's consistency when it comes to winning the tough games is something that the competition doesn't have. Leipzig, Dortmund, Gladbach, Wolfsburg, Frankfurt all dropped points against each other and lesser teams down the stretch whereas Bayern grind out the results even when playing poorly. Back to my original point... Bayern will still have talents like Kimmich and Goretzka but replacing Lewandowski's goals and Müller's assists will be extremely difficult, even with a budget that no one else in the league can compete with. Manuel Neuer is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world. I'd like to think that the gap between them and the other teams is getting smaller as those players age. Interested to see what @Viva la FCBwould say about this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to see what @Viva la FCBwould say about this. Id definitely tend to agree there will be opportunity, as some of faults Pep had the one thing he continually did was absolutely dominate the league. Since he left weve been inconsistent all over the place until Flick in his wonder season but even then the first chunk of that season under Kovac was shit, noone capitalized though. Theres definitely going to be an opportunity with the roster turnover and aging core as you mention and our current transfer policy is leaving alot to be desired (sarr, richards, roca, cuisance etc) but at some point somethings got to give. With fans in the stans and revenue swinging up again I would imagine we will be reinvesting and there in lies the problem for the rest of the league. I should also mention there has been some gems of transfers as well, with Musiala shaping up for the future looking like a real talent even to a lesser extent Nübel and even still splashing cash on Upa to fill long term holes. The word im getting is with Kahn and Hainer taking the reigns there will be more of a shift to home grown players and national players as well so take that for what you will. So the short answer imo is a definite maybe but our resources will probably likely still keep us in the pole position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched any of the Augsburg or Hertha matches, but from what I've read Hertha sound doomed. I thought they had a decent amount of talent last season but were just underperforming. Now it just seems like they're dumping any players that they can get money for and clearing the decks for relegation. Maybe Bobic just wants to start over.

Moderator Tommy 12,615 Posted August 30, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2021 Legendary German Sportsjournalist and Commentator Wolf-Dieter Poschmann died today at the age of 70. Grew up watching him, and he also commentated the German version of the FIFA Games in the late 90's. Always very knowledgeable with an iconic voice. RIP.

There have always been loose talks about stocking it up to 20, but it never really became a serious option as far as I know. 18 seems fine to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
