Hoffenheim's Süle and Rudy to Bayern next season, according to BILD. Süle is one of Germany's most promising defenders and we're struggling to keep our back line healthy, so that's a great transfer. Rudy will come for free as his contract expires, so that's a good deal for a versatile player. Could also mean that Lahm or Alonso will leave next summer.
Not sold on Rudy, but at least he will prodive a little depth, since he can play multiple positions. Süle on the other hand would be awesome and give Ancelotti the option to bring Martínez back to midfield, where he's best. Awesome game winning goal today by Douglas Costa. These are the wins that make the difference at the end of the season.
Doubt it, their structure is top-notch and Mateschitz won't stop spending. They're doin everything right, unfortunately.
Anything Rangnick has ever touched in football has had no substance and got disenchanted after two years. Their young group is driven by enthusiasm, opponents will react to them in different ways after the winter break, so they won't be able to keep that level of play.
There was a time when Douglas was hotter than Diego but recently Diego C. has been terrific. Sensational curve ball.
Not that the Bayern fans here will care too much but Julian Green has moved to VfB Stuttgart in an effort to get more playing time. They're in the second tier but have a very good chance to get back up for next season. This is a good move for Green. Great experience getting time with the first team this season...but he's 21 and needs to be on the field.
It's good that Green is leaving, he was never good enough. I'm sad about what Bayern is doing with Badstuber, though.
I was in the stadium and was wondering what he was thinking with that pass. This has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen in football.
Bob Bradley Fired By Swansea City Unsurprising, but still regrettable. I wish the first American manager in the Premier League would've at least gotten a chance at a transfer window.
Agreed. Why not give him at least one chance to add to the team and see what he can do. 85 days is way too short to know what he could've done. Sounds like the new owners simply bowed to the pressure of the fans. They had a crap lineup and he wasn't given a chance to improve it.
I think if Bradley was at least above the relegation time at this point they would have given him more time into the new year. Premier League demands results. Just like Chelsea fired Mourinho the year after winning a championship for them, haha. Though as we see that worked out very well for them so far in the long run.
Seems like Bradley's tenure was doomed from the start. It also doesn't help that British media was denigrating him every chance they got due to his use of "Americanisms" (using terms like PK, and road game). But yes, his performance there was abysmal, and he didn't get enough results to warrant any kind of good will or faith.
Tevez Transfer now official, the salary is nuts, especially when calculating the splits: 40 Mil Euro/Year, 3,3 Mil/Month, 109.589 Euro/day, 4566 Euro/hour, 76 Euro/minute, 1,20 Euro/sec. These Chinese businessmen are crazy.
