    Uh....well Pep told me otherwise. And when he did he was speaking English.

    The first thing about Spanish, yes. The one about English seemed serious. But we are very strict about this, the coach has to speak German and it has to be the language at practices.

    I heard Bayern is a great team, we could both start watching them.

    The first thing he did after arriving in Munich was fire his German language teacher and stop taking German language lessons. His rationale: He "no longer had time for this".

    Damn, you guys really hate Pep. This year he has to deliver, no excuses. At least he has shown some hindsight by bringing Lahm back to the wing. Let's hope he does the same with Alaba.

    If Pep's gone next year, I'm pretty sure Klopp will be his successor.

    No way in hell I want Klopp. I know enough players who trained under him.

    As to Pep putting Lahm back right after two years of having messed everything up and saying "because we now have Vidal", it's a slap in the face of Schweinsteiger, Goetze, etc. It's simply not a logical explanation.

    Costa for 30mil, Sterling for 68.

    LOL. Costa is a beast, best signing since Martinez.

    Nice start against a weak opponent. Icing on the cake would've been a red card for this criminal Spahic. Costa looked indeed great, he will kick ass.

    I'd prefer Favre, but he won't be easy to get. If Pep leaves, their first choice will be Klopp.

    Yeah, I am really surprised by how good Costa is. Awesome signing.

    Also, Basti did well after he came in for Man U (I watched both games in parallel...). Once he is fit and fully healthy, he will be the undisputed leader of that team and the best midfielder in the Premier League - easily. They still need to sign a couple of players with speed and skill, though. Then they can win the championship.

    Question... and no offense, you seem to follow Schweinsteiger more than anybody else. Is there a particular reason for that? I know that you have personal ties to Bayern simply wondering if Basti is one of those "connections"?

    It will be Favre.

    (And yes, Spahic is disgusting. His namesake Amir Spahic is a much nicer guy.)

    Praying for Favre or Ancelotti. Don't unterstand why so many people want Kopp, he doesn't fit at all in my opinion.

    He's one of those high-energy/underdog-mentality coaches which is completely different than what Bayern stands for and what we aim for.

    Also, the comments he and Watzke made about Bayern in the last years were brutal and it would seem incredibly shady to have him as a coach and represent our club and mentality all of a sudden. It's one of those things where I'd really doubt our management, Klopp shouldn't be Bayern coach in the next years (in 10 years? Different story if he grows up).

    As I recall M. Sammer was a hardcore Borussia guy in the past, then I was surprised he took the job at Bayern.

    You are right about Klopp though, I do not see him at a Top tier European club right now.

    Too bad Douglas and King Arturo are not in the Premier League or nobody here is playing Kicker fantasy ball because those guys would be good options to take.
