The Transfers Thread

[BlueBen]

It might be a good move for Bayern, but is it good for German football if one team can simply stockpile all of the best talent from their major rivals? Aren't they after Lewandowski as well?

What hope does the rest of the league have?

 

[glenferry23]

Timing of the gotze announcement is extraordinary.

 

[Thistle]

Goetze was born in Bayern so maybe he just wants to be closer to his family?

Been in the Dortmund academy since he was eight. Dog move all round by him especially the timing. But it explains why BVB are so interested in De Bruyne...

 

[Sub_Zero]

Apparently Chelsea have Gomez as backup if we can't get Falcao..

It's not a good sign when Dortmund, who are direct rivals to Bayern, have to sell their best players to them. Dortmund are trying to build their club up to be like Bayern but when this stuff happens, there's no hope.

They lost Kagawa to us last season, a valuable player to them. Gotze is gone and Lewandowski is likely to follow. All of a sudden their team is looking quite vulnerable.

Lewandowski is being linked to us but I can't see it happening, there's a very good chance that he will follow Gotze to Bayern Munich.

The game today will make or break Gomez's Bayern career. If he ****s up like the final last season and misses a million chances he is gone. If he scores a hat trick I think Manzukic could be in trouble.

Only 10 years ago Dortmund loaned money from Munich to get themselves out of the financial shit.

No German club will ever sustain a challenge to them.

Kompany in response to a question asking him about the Barca rumours:

"I recently extended for six years and you know that there's projects at the turn of the City Academy and all the facilities you will not be asking me this question. I have the opportunity to win trophies and I want to do in City. "

 

[Magma]

apparently bayern have another big star secured too.

lew or draxler?

Would rather recall Lukaku imo. We could have another Torres on our hands if we land Falcao or Gomez.

They'll be loaded after the sales and could buy a lot of quality replacements.

pretty sure its Julian Draxler

Agreed, Lukaku will be the next Drogba

 

[Magma]

i'd think so too.

Messi

Who, if they are good enough, will just be cherry picked by Bayern anyway...

 

[Magma]

also worrying to remember reus' 24 mil release clause activates at the end of next season.

 

[Super Hans]

Not sure if we need him, but you can never have enough talent I guess.

 

[kaiserchief13]

If you are angry now just wait till Suarez goes to Munich

 

[HolyRioli]

dortmund have confirmed it.

the bundesliga is dead.

Hardly.

37 million euros for Gotze, 20 something for Lewandowski plus whatever they get for Hummels and they have as much if not more clout than anyone in the upcoming transfer market. There are still a lot of very, very good players at Dortmund and a couple of handy replacements and you'll see them challenging Bayern again.

E12M per year. Jesus. Met his clause of 37m too.

and how exactly do you go about replacing 3 of the best in their position?

bayern are not done. they'll buy more players.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

With Bayern signing Gotze and probably others, any chance they will be offloading any quality players?

 

[kenneje]

Here's the press release from Bayern in english.

The second paragraph is almost hilarious. Massive news, was not expecting it at all.

Jovetic to Arsenal now please.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Also I think this is good news in a way for United as Lewondowski wants to leave and I can't see 2 of Dortmunds best players being sold to their biggest rivals
