That deal got done pretty quick all things considered. Prior to this week there weren't even substantiated rumors about Rodriguez coming to Bayern.

Also supposedly buying him at the end of the loan would cost Bayern only 35.2 million €, given how the market is looking these days, that'd be quite the steal if he performs well. Plus 5 million per year as fee for the loan. Seems likely at this point that the move of Costa to Juve will fully cover the cost of getting James.

Yeah Spanish press as of yesterday were saying Chelsea were offered Morata and Rodriguez for a combined price of £130million so it was pretty out of the blue the Bayern deal.

Apparently Marca reports that the buying clause is €60 million instead of the 35.2 that popped up in Germany. But even 60 wouldn't be that bad if he performs well, given the state of the market.

Sell to Germany 35.2 million. Sell to England? Gotta double or triple that price!

I mean it's not surprising nowadays everyone is trying to extort English clubs with the money they got lol

It's hard to say which figure is more accurate. 35 seems way too cheap, but it's the figure Bild is giving and they have inside sources at Bayern. He'll likely play a lot, his best year at Real was under Ancelotti. Costa is leaving for Juve, Gnabry likely going on loan to Hoffenheim, Robben and Ribery can't go 3 months without injury.

In other news Anthony Modeste is taking legal actions against Cologne. He was meant to be transferred to China for 35+ million, but it hasn't worked out so far. Cologne excluded him from training, and now he wants to force his way back in.

Ribéry maybe but Robben usually can go a bit longer, then break all Bayern fans' hearts by being injured again. If Robben managed a whole season without any injuries Bayern might win every game in the Bundesliga

I honestly think that if Robben hadn't been so plagued by injuries he'd be one of the best 3 players of our generation.

Nah, he just has never been that intelligent on a football pitch. Think about Ronaldo's first 3 years at ManU, gifted but not smart then something clicked and he became the player he is. Robben improved on this aspect but he still makes a lot of bad decisions on the pitch.

Come on, Robben is as technically gifted as any ballon d'or winner with the ball at his feet, there is a reason he's not had the impact of the other two over the course of his carreer.

yeah, he's been plagued by injuries! He's played senior football like 2-3 years longer than ronaldo, but has played more than 100 fewer games.

Robben played in La Liga Premier League and Bundesliga and has been huge success when he has been on the pitch though, scoring huge goals in big games as well as just being naturally very good through out. His injuries are the reason i agree imo that he isn;t considering one of best ever
