I have no doubt that Laudrup said that he would want the liverpool job, but I doubt Liverpool are really wanting to go for him.
He was a good manager for Brøndby but ever since he left Denmark he really hasn't had much success. With Getafe he did well (got pretty far in europe league with a not so good team and was only beaten by Bayern in extra time) but already stopped after a year. Then he went on to be fired in Russia after only a season. He then took over Mallorca who he also left after only a year, both not doing well with the team but also being really pissed with the management of the club, which to be fair to him was really bad, stuff like selling their top scorer with an hour left of the transfer window and buying a replacement after the deadline so he couldn't be registered... He went out and was publicly angry after that and then he got to leave the club.
His daughter follows my parody Brøndby chairman twitter profile, lol.
I wouldn't mind taking a punt on Laudrup actually. He had Getafe playing some lovely stuff a few years back.
To City? Disaster!!!!
Thats the transfer muppet law.
Reports linking your team to a player: It's a rubbish article, he's never signing for us.
Reports linking a player to a rival team: Oh no he's nailed on to join them.
It's crazy after all that Gomez bashing by elsk (
), i decided to look up some old Gomez videos from his Stuttgart days, i know it's only highlights but wow he was like a totally different player http://www.myvideo.de/watch/3831262/Mario_Gomez_The_Next_Superstar . Bayern just doesnt seem play to his strengths . I think a coach with a better system (like Klopp tbh
) could do wonders for him.
I'm pretty interested in what Malaga do with their money, has there been any rumors? All I've heard so far is Borja Valero (seems likely, would be a good buy imo) and Dzeko/Adebayor.

love your AV, krishian
I'd try to get Higuain or some other striker who's not at odds with the ball @ Bajuwaren-gaf
How does that make you feel, Mancs?
Kagawa could actually be great in CM too, but you'd have to field 1-2 DMs alongside of him.

He was just out of form. he will be back to his old self. we should not forget he scored 40 goals this season. even more than last year. top scorer last season and second best scorer this season in the bundesliga is no small feat.

Allegri just spoke on Milan Channel, he basically said that both Thiago and Ibra will remain (not sure about this, if *that* Galliani request is true) and that Pato and Boateng will return in shape and have a great season (not sure about this either).
I really dont care that much about who they'll get. Who will leave would be far more interesting but i dont think they would ever sell Robben or fire Heynckes.
I just hate this inverted wingers shit.I still think it's funny that the most significant changes at Bayern go back to Klinsmann (it's easy to forget, that he had an abysmal squad, Rensing in goal and Bild against him). But he did a lot of good things too, (training-facility, expanded coaching staff, opponent scouting etc.). Kinda funny but i honestly believe that if Klopp went to Bayern and Klinsmann to Dortmund in 2008 the results would have been the same.
I'd take this.

where did u read that? the only transfer rumor i read was the one about the exchange between rafinha and höwedes.
I'd put my money on Höwedes, Lars Bender or Khedira. But also wont understand why, well Höwedes could make sense if they plan to switch Lahm back to the left, Boateng / Höwedes on the right and to use Alaba as an attacking midfield option. Sounds crazy but Bayern-like doesnt it?
I think Sky Sports News HD said something like that.
You should photoshop a german flag in Van Bommels hand. EURO time!
He'll make a killing in China, and in the process, bring more awareness to his charity. He's done all he can, and then some for us, and the club will be forever grateful.
I hate that it's labeled as quitting the team though. It seems more like a mutual agreement to part ways. It's not like he's burning bridges or departing on bad terms. In fact, it's the complete opposite.

It will be the announcing of another Facebook page
I think we will sign a new DM this summer, but I doubt Bender or Khedira are available.
Nope, sounds like Howedes being a CB/RB backup. We already have 2 LBs.
edit: maybe they want Loew

Höwedes would walk right in Bayern's starting eleven as CB, he'd probably play RB or some shit though if it happens.
Possibly a strange request, but is there a resource where I can find the release lists or released players from the various clubs in England this pre-season.
I intend on starting a new FM save when the seasons done and want to exploit the free transfer market before clubs start making signings in real life.

Here's hoping for Lars Bender instead.
I wonder how he and his brother feel about Bayern, having been at that other Munich club...

Klinsmann doesn't know jack shit about tactis, if he would have gone to dortmund back in 2008 they probably would play in Liga 2 now. His changes in the training infrastructure was the only good thing he did at Bayern.
The most important changes have been done by Louis van Gaal, without him there would be no Thomas Müller, Badstuber or Alaba in the first place and he was the first one who taught the team tactical discipline and a system that is used until now. He was probably the best manager we had after Hitzfeld.
Don't know about England but from Bayern: Olic, Pranjic, Breno are free agents when the season ends.
I think they'll spend around the same. One big name (striker most likely) and a couple minor signings to fill the gaps. Villareal could lose a couple of players to them after their relegation and the Pellegrini connection.

It's probably Höwedes.
yup, I guess Dante will feel like an idiot after having left Gladbach. He'll have a hard time to get past Höwedes & get playtime to have a chance to be in the Brazilian 2014 WC squad..
S. Bender supposedly grew up as 1860er and hates your guts, Bayern. I don't think Lars differs from him + he signed a new contract in Leverkusen (till 2016) and they hate your guts too and won't give you shit (remember Vidal).

True that's why he needed a better assistant manager. But dont forget that Müller made his debut under Klinsmann. After the first half of the season everything was fine and they thrashed Stuttgart in the DFB Pokal. Afterwards there was some really bad luck (disallowed goals and shitty refeering) involed + the half the squad got injured.
Van Gaal on the other hand was as good as gone before the Juve match and what followed were maybe the best 6months of Robbens career. I'm sorry but most Bayern fans see the season under Klinsmann far worse than it actually was and overrate Van Gaal's first season as there was a huge of amount luck was involved (e.g. Robben saving our asses).
Barcelona scoring 5 goals against us, and selling Hummels = I hate him forever.
I agree about Klinsman and that we still owe van Gaal a lot. If only he had known that defending is sometimes necessary. But no one will ever reach Hitzfeld in my personal ranking.
Ottmar, wir lieben dich!
Thank you, very interesting.
Ah, we always get them in the end. the seductive power of money, titles (...)
let's be honest. he will not leave the league champions for any other club. not even for 1860

lol Moldes owner has apparently left Molde, was furious after a meeting with Solskjær where Solskjær told him he wanted to leave if Villa offered him the job and that he would take the team around the club with him.
Could be, but the chances of Mourinho letting Khedira leave are very slim, I think. He won't even let Sahin go (and I'd much prefer getting him)
He didnt sell Hummels, Bayern coaches dont have the power to buy / sell specific players (Van Gaal just ignored them and thus forced them away).
The official club statment from 2009 regarding Hummels: We were fundamentally very satisfied with Mats Hummels sporting development, FC Bayern Munich AG chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, remarked, but we have four first-class international centre-halves in Lucio, Demichelis, van Buyten and Breno, and it would have been exceptionally hard for Mats to win a regular place in the Bayern team. Thats why weve met the players specific request to be allowed to remain with Borussia Dortmund."
Look at the squad against Barca: Butt - Oddo, Demichelis, Breno, Lell - Schweinsteiger, van Bommel, Zé Roberto (77. Sosa) - Altintop (46. Ottl), Ribéry - Toni
Amazing they didnt score more against that defense, great game by Butt, though.

lol stop talking about Khedira, you have like a 0.1% chance of getting him

Tbf Ole said he would take the 2 coaches who he brought to the club with him from United and Magnus Wolff Eikrem who was the same. It's not like he was planning on stripping them. A ridiculous over-reaction by the backers.
