I hope Real Madrid enjoy their free pass to the finals.
Thank you Bayern and thank you Hoeneß.

Wth? Why do Bayern buy Goetze? Kroos is just as good as a playmaker.

Also what a low blow from Goetze, doing that before season ends. That's how he repays his fans?

especially stupid to reveal it 2 before semifinals.
but its more Dortmunds fault when they give him away so cheap; any club would have bought him (correct me if im wrong).
a shame for Dortmund, a wonderful team to watch.
theyll have a lot money with Götze, LEwandowski leaving and Championsleague prizemoney. they could buy ronaldo

Are you too stupid to read the News? Dortmund had no chance, the Judas had a buy-out clause! They did not give him away! Bayern accepted the buy-out /END
There were no negotiations...

Yeah it happens when only one team in the league hold all the $$s
Reason Premiership is so competitive is because now you have Man Utd - Man City - Chelsea - Arsenal and maybe Liverpool/Spurs who are financially capable to all compete for top players around the world.

Lolol Goetze blocked the commentating on his FB page. What a coward.
He doesn't have the balls to stand up to his decision, zero respect for him now.

I don't care what gifted football he is, he is an ass.

Agreed. Man Utd may still be winning most of the titles, but apart from this year, Chelsea and Man City have made them work for it and won their share of titles as well. And with Arsenal clearing their stadium debts soon this will only further increase the competitiveness I hope.

This Bayern move, while totally understandable from their part, is such a dick move for the bundesliga.

Yeah, will just make it a battle for 2nd place in the league, will be awful for the fans
They have always done it though, but this is the biggest player they have taken away from the other teams (imo)

Yeah before Chelsea and Man City, it was Arsenal and Liverpool challenging United for the title, there has always been teams challenging United in England, and you could argue Man City (for sure) and maybe Chelsea's squad is actually better than Uniteds (on paper at least) but Man Utd have a great manager, and probably 4 of the best squad strikers in the league (Welbeck Hernadez Rooney RVP)

Definitely, I think Fergie is incredible at assessing games, planning lineups, deploying weapons, reading opposition tactics. He could probably make any of the top 6 teams competitive for the title given one or two years' worth of transfers with a reasonable budget. He has the most effective substitutions-to-points-earned ratio out of all managers in the world.

I am saddened by Gotze going to Bayern, but not surprised at all. Not that I expected it to happen, but almost no transfers nowadays surprise me. There's almost no players with love for their teams, football is a business and 37m is an amazing price for a player like Gotze.

no, I meant the buyout clause. its stupid to set it so low. if bayern hadnt taken him, one of the other wealthy clubs would have bought him. thats why its dortmunds fault from what I understand. oh man, its bad news for german football.
he might sit on the bench a lot, like Podolski, Klose and others before him

Yes it is, but Götze wouldn't have accepted a new contract without it probably. -.-

Klose and Podolski played a lot of games for Bayern, too many considering how bad they performed actually.

Götze will be fine at Bayern, sounds like bad news for Mandzukic and good news for Löw.

I believe Bayern will rather try to get rid of Gomez, Pizarro or even Robben instead of Mandzukic.

Gomez has never been a fan-favorite at Munich and some will simply never forgive him last year's champions league final performance. Be it fair or not, I always felt he would at best be respected, but never loved. Pizarro is simply nearing the end of his career, and Robben (very good, but imho nevertheless overrated) will struggle to compete for the starting lineupwith Götze, Müller, Shaqiri, Kroos and maybe some others even more he was this season.

There is no reason to get rid of Mandzukic but Götze will probably play instead of him. Most likely to leave are Robben and Gomez, as you mentioned.

imagine if Dortmund meets Bayern in the finals, then Götze scoring the winning goal.
psychologically interesting

Knowing Guardiola, he will probably replace Mandzukic like you said or Ribery, as I'm sure Pep will not like him so much (both as a person and as a player).

WTF
Muller is 23? Are you kidding me? xD
I was just about to say (before researching his age) that i thought Muller might get the shove being as he has been at Bayern forever (it feels) and imo i would rather try to keep Robben as much as possible.

But fuck me, at 23 Muller is a fkn amazing player!! He must of been about 19/20 when he broke into that Bayern side then? Jeez, and he has done it consistently for German national team for what seems like FOREVER aswell. Wow, so much more impressed with Muller after seeing he is 23...lol

I wouldn't mine seeing Robben back at Chelsea, but then again we have an abundance of talent in the forward/wide area so i guess won't be good buy for us. Wonder if Man Utd might want him to replace Nani/Young as they both had shocking seasons.
Gomez might end up being speculation of alot of English clubs though as he would be pretty much suited to our league as it is very similar to the Bundesliga in terms of physicality and pace. Might go to Spain though.

Now lets see what we get as replacement. Isco seems like a suitable replacement. I just hope its not DeBryne - he couldn't even dominate in Bremen - he is nowhere near ready to play for a topteam.
