Frücthl signs an extension thru 2020. His contract was due to expire at the end of the season. #warchest
Injuries suck but it’s great how many minutes Davies is getting. Also Gnabry is tickling world class.
When I read the plan for Nubel, I said to myself “Manu signed off on this? That MF doesn’t even sit out friendlies”. Well it didn’t take long
Falk says we tried to buy Sane again this week and Pep nixed it until summer. He also says we’re all in on Sane and Havertz/Coutinho this summer. I swear to god if we pull out of the Havertz sweepstakes to get the price down on Coutinho, I’ll fucking rage.
#WarChest Local Munich kid, swiped after less than a year at the +1 academy. Been in Bayern’s academy and youth system since 07. Currently on loan at Hamburg and playing CDM well enough that there’s talk of Javi Martinez being sold or included in a transfer deal. I’d rather move Kimmich back to RB, as midfield Kimmich is a nonproductive bitch. I digress and Fein will return in the summer and move to the pro squad.
Two of the top five LB in the world on the squad, p nice. Alaba and Kimmich being able to play like five different positions is so helpful.
Gnabry returned from his injury this weekend and Kingsley is returning Sunday against Leipzig. Because we can’t have nice things, Perisic broke his ankle at practice today. So there’s that.
I’m sure there are performance bonuses tied to the CL. Come to think of it, I doubt the bigger clubs even consider missing out on European competitions so why not throw a clause in there. I’m sure the media will run with this in Germany to further fuel the Sancho to Bayern rumors (not happening). Sané money becomes Sancho money.
Sané isn’t happening and I’ve made my peace with it. Upecaimo, Havertz and Dest are must haves this summer. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that we could’ve had Werner for 26mil last summer but he’ll go to Liverpool now for 60mil.
Sané hired himself a money laundering swindler as an agent. Allegedly. https://www.bavarianfootballworks.c...an-sports-primus-money-laundering-tax-evasion
It’s about money. Hansi doesn’t like Sané or his “attitude”. He’s coached Werner since he was in the youth ranks.
Muller and Thiago extended. Looks like the Neuer extension is getting ugly. He wants 5 years at €20mil per. Club has offered 3 and doesn’t look like they’re budging with Nubel already signed on a 5 year deal.
I wondered that when we signed him and immediately said he was guaranteed games and there’d be no loan. I was like Neuer doesn’t even sit out friendlies.
Some other stuff: Miroslav Klose will move from coaching the U-17 squad to be an assistant for Hansi starting next season. Bayern II has quietly signed the entire U-17 German squad on frees the past couple months. (Not really, but it seems that way.)
Sven Ulreich under contract thru 21 too. He’s been told he will be sold wherever he wants to go. Been a helluva company man during his 6 years in Munich.
