This whole transfer window is one gigantic shitshow. But since we need depth and noone else will pay €20M we might as well keep him until summer.
Guess we'll end up with some last-minute loans like last season. It's funny how they are trying to lowball every club and supposedly very careful with funds, but end up with loans where you have zero investment in the future or possible future transfer sale value. Think we burned like 40-50mil on one year loans for Cou, Perisic and Odriozola, but lost out on prospects like KDB, Sane (pre-City), Griezmann (pre-Atletico), Gabriel Jesus, Olmo, CHO, Dest by angering their clubs with low offers and stalling forever until other clubs swooped in. Terribly short-sighted business.
Brazzo is out of his depth. Got lucky that Davies panned out, I guess. But the price for Hernandez (who is serviceable) was crazy. The stalling on Alaba and overall handling of the situation is embarrassing.
People praise him for the Davies thing, but even there he misjudged. Rummenigge recently stated they brought him in as a winger, but in training quickly realized he's not technically proficient enough for that position and better suited as a left back. Brazzo is lucky Davies adapted so well to a role as a defender, otherwise this would've been burned money as well.
Let's get Hudson-Odoi, a decent backup right wing defender, and call it a day. Also, find some taker for malcontent Cuisance.
Guess we going the cheap route again this season. Marseille fans say he's a natural right winger who got turned into a rb and is a bad backup for them that only had one good season and has been atrocious since. English media also saying Odoi will 100% stay.
No guaranteed money and less rotation options for us, not a good deal imo. Also, let's see how the medical ends up eh. LMAO this window is comedy.
Hoeneß described Costa as a "mercenary with a bad character" after he was transfered to Juventus. If only this man could keep his mouth shut sometimes.
At least you can't say they've been passive. * Roca: Don't know a lot about him, but he's the kind of player we need and Martinez will mentor him. kicker even says €9M, would be an excellent deal at this time. * Choupo-Moting: Not so sure. Would've preferred to give Zirkzee minutes. Probably won't see playing time at all. * Sarr: Haven't heard about him before, but looks like a cheap Plan B, next Odriozola. Don't think he'll be with us for long. * Costa: Depends. If he matured and plays like in his first months with us, he'll be a huge addition to our injury prone wing. Not so sure though if he'll show real effort, especially since he's the backup for Gnabry, Coman and Sané. Goal has to be to have at least two of these three healthy at the same time over the season. In that case we actually don't need Costa.
They are apparently loaning Zirkzee out to Feyenoord tomorrow, will probably help his development more than the rare minutes behind Lewa. Marseille fans are saying Sarr started as a right winger but was one of the worst players in the league and a walking meme, now as a right back he's been mediocre to okay for them and I haven't seen any Marseille or Ligue 1 watcher saying he's even remotely Bayern material. But then again, it's only 10mil and with us having messed up on other targets there weren't many options left and I doubt he'll complain about minutes. Costa will be a 1yr loan (only paying salary, no loan fee) without a buy option, so I'm okay with them saving money and hope Musiala also continues to see minutes, have bigs hope in him from what he's shown in his first appearances. Roca seems to be pretty decent from what La Liga fans are saying, good passing and vision. Some mistakes on defense it seems, but he's still young and has good upside.
So the buy option for Cuisance is only 10mil, what a **** deal wow. And no buyback clause because it's illegal in France. This club is abysmal at selling players. Edit: Maybe there's some secret deal for us to buy Thauvin or someone ultra cheap next summer, otherwise this is idiotic.
Just glad he is gone. Sarr deal a bit of a head scratcher for me, especially after seeing Richards. Costa...meh. OK as backup. Roca - we will see. Choupo...meh. Overall very lateral moves. Would have preferred we keep Perisic, develop Richards and Zirkzee.
