I don't like unpolished products joining a big club so early, especially when they have not yet gotten 1-2 full seasons of football. They need to prove themselves first, then join a top club and walk straight into the first team. I can see Gnabry going to struggle to get minutes in Bayern, and waste his development years.

Oh and England finally winning something lol

agreed with duck. especially young players should imo prioritize being at the best club where they can be a regular starter rather than do like, career-hedgebets.

fuuck. Nothing easy ofc -.- but thank god that the last two matches weren't switched up. BFC Dynamo vs BTSV would result in another tribune ban in the end

There seems to be a pattern at Bayern. I don't understand why they didn't leave Renato Sanches on loan at Benfica this season, he would've played nearly every game and continued to grow.

Honestly I feel like this is pretty much Ancelottis fault. Under another coach Renato Sanches would have played way more this season. But Ancelotti reaaaally trusts in the old guard.

Yeah i don't get Ancelotti with his squad right now. Renato and Costa barely touched a ball and both of those showed potential, Costa the season before under Pep was great. Both of them look to be on there way out and they bring in Gnarby?? lol

tbf I understand why they did buy Gnabry ( 8 million for a talented German striker). I would expect them tho to loan him to a club like Hoffenheim.

He played quite a bit in the beginning, was out with an injury and the team went on a huge streak. Gnabry would score cool goals and have the game revolve around him but the team overall found their stride without him.

He was the only reason Bremen actually stayed competitive in the first half of the season(scored a lot of goals when Bremen was a shitshow). Then he got injured. When he got back Bremen was suddenly that well oiled machine and Bartels-Kruse really functioned perfectly together so he had a hart time getting playtime because Bremen was suddenly sooo good without him. I'm not saying he is the next big thing but he was pretty good when he played and considering how much Bayern paid... I can definitely see the reasoning behind that (from Bayerns perspective). I think it's a dumb move though by Gnabry.

So a small gamble for Bayern and a big one for Gnabry.

It all has to do with the top teams being so stacked with the best players nowadays and being able to afford those gambles. It was way easier for a young talent to find some playing time in the CL contenders 10/15 years ago. Now there are barely any CL contenders left. Just look at Chelsea hoarding system, they can't help players like KDB or Lukaku to make the last step and have to let go the unfinished player. Same for Barca, they have several champions in Europe who could not make it in the first team.

It was the same in Real Madrid. He barely rotated and the team was exhausted the second season. Zidane is doing a better job, more players are feeling important with him.

Fabinho (Monaco) is supposedly a done deal for United, something around £40m. Will not be announced for about 2 weeks since he is on vacations

Costa showed potential for like half a season as long as he had a secured starting spot due to Ribery being injured.

Then he had to decide if he wanted to show that he deserves the spot or to pout. He chose to pout.

Fuck that guy.

I see fair enough, guess Costa and Renato will leave and Bayern fans wont mind. Also doubly wont mind if the other guy coming in to replace those is Alexis Sanchez!

Gnabry is mostly a free risk transfer, at worst you sell it back a year later

8m is just nothing for Bayern, and he has shown some pretty decent skills overall

Definitely. I also quite enjoy that the Gnabri transfer resulted in probably the biggest meltdown of Bayern fans I've witnessed so far online
