Mario Götze

Peps influence already. Already hand picking his midfield. Who will he base the team around though. Quite a few personalities in the Munich team.

that's not a pep influence at all. you clearly don't understand how the germans work . that deal has. 'made in Gernany' stamped all over it

Do you mean the word 'efficient'?
Yes I'm clued up on that one thanks.
My point is that there is no way Pep has gone to a club with all the choices he had and not have complete control of who comes in to the team.
He must have identified him earlier as a player he likes and told the board go and get him.

Very good question. Bayern and also a newspaper (close to Bayern officials) launched this news today.

SINCE YESTERDAY ULI HOENESS IS ALL OVER IN THE GERMAN MEDIA FOR TAX FRAUD (COUPLE OF MILLIONS).

so I guess this was announced to take some pressure of him. Right now this transfer is talked about everywhere and the Hoeness causa is no big thing anymore

Er, the 'Hoeness' "thing" , is something , it isn't a couple of mill , it's at least 12 Mill, in one account. Don't believe me ? NZZ front page today.

There will be a watershed this summer in Germany about tax evasion.

if it moves, in england we observe it, in China they eat it , in Germany they tax it

The 1st showing that FFP has acheived its' aims.

eggzackerly !

[I Just Blue Myself]

don't get why the deal has been announced before both their seasons are over?

have dortmund agreed to roll over and take it from behind vs real tomorrow night?

imagine the atmosphere at the etihad if we announced that we'd agreed to sell yaya to the rags the day before a champions league semi final.

rifuckingdiculous

not so sure about this at all.

BVB were the ones who announced it on their facebook page. they also said that Bayern were quiet....they were waiting for this week's matches to be over. looks like it was a major fuck up on BVB's admins part.

They only announced it after it leaked to the media. It was all over the internet yesterday & print this morning. Allegedly the German players in Madrid have leaked the info to rattle Dortmund before the game tomorrow.

You are also wrong about the release clause. It is called RELEASE (or BUY OUT) clause for a reason, instead of TALK clause. Any club who stumps up the cash may negotiate a deal with the player & if the player accepts the terms, the buying club may pay the amount established in the contract to BUY the player OUT of his contract.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Anyone thinks we should trade them Dzeko who wants to leave and some cash for Reus?

yeah, but theyll never do that. especially not now or they will have zero midfield.

Don't understand why Munich would sell to their rivals like that.

No choice. Munich have offered the buy-out clause, and they player wants to go to them.

i thought the buy-out clause for a player still under contract just meant that if it was met then that club could talk to the player.
not that the parent club had to sell....



and wow. Modric, Pastore, Lucas Moura, and Javi Martinez all cost more than Gotze...what a joke.

As I understand it, it's a 'release clause' in the player's contract, which means, I take it, that if you come up with the cash the club has to release the player.

what ? efficient? i do not mean that at all clued up on efficiency ? why ?

Pep will never have complete control in Bayern , he picks the team that's it , Beckenbauer et al , decide who they buy .

Pep is just a front for Bayern, they'll. dump him in a minute if things don't go their way.

I really can't see where the challenge is there for Guardiola. They may well win 3 trophies this season. What's he going to bring to them, or get out of it?

[Beefymcfc]

It's a no-brainer for PG, just a means to an ends. Too easy.

It'd be funny to see Bayern lose a few, just to see how he reacts. The team is too good though.

[Lev Bronstein]

Bayern are dominant in the German league already. Adding Gotze, and others, will just enhance their power. So much for the competitveness of the league. It's going to be worse than Scotland.

As I understand it Bayern have a £150 million-a-year deal with Addidas to keep them warm at night. So much for the German League's philosophy of 'fairness' and a level playing field.

[BobbyJ1956]

Gotze will do for Bayern what RVP has done for the rags and what Falcao and Bale will do for whichever new teams they're playing for next season. Which is why City need one big quality signing, not several Sinclairs.

[MilnersJaw]

makes me think we should have bought him then if he had a buy out clause. him alone is worth ten times more rodwell, sinclear and garci combined.

he wants to play for bayern just like all krauts do. in all likelihood, he would not have come here unless we paid him a fucking fortune, and even then, he soon would have wanted to return to the motherland.

[Hazy2]

Mathias Sammer when asked about the Timing of the news, We never contacted Dortmund why should we, Mr. Nice Guy Pep, has left the building. I bet Mario, is just itching to get to the stadium tonight, Bayern must be pissing themselfs 2 birds one stone. Ruthless rags of Germany.

Yep, just another league where the title was won last weekend.

Oh, hang on...

Not sure about that been at BVD for 12 yrs mate.

There are 82 Million Germans, there are far more that hate Bayern than love them.

He will be getting paid a fortune in Mūnchen.

It's the fatherland

Watch Madrid nail him tonight :-)

Ruthless ? nah 'Geschmacklos'

edit :

Mourinho says before tonights match


"They have to feel frustration to lose Mario Gotze to their rivals. They build players and their rival, because he is powerful economically, arrives and buys them. It's the easiest way to win the title - to destroy your opponents."


Buy them .... aha , that's what United and Bayern
have been doing all these years ! I'd never have guessed

[Blue in the face]

After Lewandowski took Madrid apart it looks like they bought the wrong player.
