True story

badstuber first time on the pitch for 17 months

welcome back

friendly vs duisburg (3rd league)

lets see what we can do so far

3-5-2 system ^^

the son of mehmet scholl is playing
new generation

badstuber captain

What do you Bayern fans think of Ribery? Really overrated imo, Robben is alot better, at least in the games I've seen (mainly champions league)

well, in the treble season he was incredible, simply worldclass
after that season he dropped a little in his form, but he played very well until the winter

in 2014 his form vanished completely and he was probably our worst player until the end of the season
maybe his back injury had a part in that
maybe exhaustion from so many games

i am sure franck will return in good shape this season and will still be important for us

you are right with robben, in his current physical condition he is > ribery

0:0 half time in the friendly
mediocre game, but thats to be expected

badstuber is performing well

Without having checked it, my educated guess would be, that 80% of Bayerns team consists of players bought from their domestic league.

This proves a few things.

1. Bayern buys players from domestic clubs to keep it a 1-team league.
or
2. No foreign players want to join a german side.

Can we all agree that this bundesliga is just a formality each year?

If Bayern buys all the good players the other teams have a chance to grow, they get maybe 20mill per player and got him for maybe 3mill a few years ago. The thing is though that Bayern is such a big club that they can get players free like Lewandowski, which ruins the league imo. They got some Brazilian and Spanish players though but if I was managing Bayern I'd look for more German players to promote German football, weltmeister yo.

rofl ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
we had only players like thiago, ribery, robben, javi etc joining us who had offers from all top clubs in europe

last 4 years was 2 times bayern and 2 times dortmund champion
nice 1 team league

but its true that we prefer germans oder german speaking players if available to have a core of domestic players

maybe other teams should think about that as well, especially english teams



lewa didnt want to extend his contract and dortmund refused to let him go, so he stayed until it expired and then joined bayern
dont see the problem

thats good transfer policy
we get lewa who also had tons of offers for free, while clubs like real buy players like ilarra or isco for 30+mio

1:0 lewa btw

So bayern manages to finish second or lower in a 1-team league where they are supposed to win by 40 points each year? How is failing this much even possible.

bundesliga should be banned for every european tournament for years to come until bayern have been demoted and we can actually expect german teams to rise with all other clubs

The reason I don't like this is that Dortmund lost a key player to a rival club for free, needlessly making Bayern stronger at the cost of a smaller club.

It's in the best interest of both Lewa and Bayern but it's such a lame thing for Dortmund and the league imo.

I would have liked to se***ern buy him last year for 30+ mill, it's not like they don't have the money.
