I saw that guy Coentrao yesterday against PSV and he is a very good option for LB .He showed lots of pace and agility and he read the game very well too.
Transfers - suggestions/rumors

but seems like coentrao isnt moving from benfica
....now they r saying that bayern are intrested in gregory van der viel from ajax .....and robben said he s a good player which could do well for bayern.....also saw that bayern are intrested in ghana`s asamoah gyan....what do you think of this one ?
-
gregory van der viel is a better option than coentrao, he is more solid defensively, as for gyan, well is he goin to get a place with Gomez, Olic, Muller & Klose around ??

Yes, Coentrao admitted that he wants to stay at Benifica but I doubt Benifica can keep hold of their best asset if Bayern does a 25mil Euros offer. Anyways, I dont think Gregory van der viel is better than Coentrao but I have to agree that Gregory van der viel is significant cheaper and Lahm is actually much better on the left than the right, so there is a possibility of us signing gregory van der viel instead of coentrao.
Klose wont be around if we decide to sign Gyan. He does offer something different than Gomez and Klose which is good for our attacking line
-
also saw that bayern might be intrested in miguel veloso currently at genoa but departuring at the end of the season...midfield player, some african player would do fine with us i think, a defending player which has some power such as taiwo which is a free transfer this summer shouldnt be missed, maybe offering some more money will do the job
-
Damn.. if Bayern miss out on Coentrao and Neuer we can officially accept the fact that our favorite team turned from a CL team to a Europa League team that can't make top transfers happen.
-
in coentrao s case it seems like its his wish to stay with benfica, so its nothing wrong from our side...now it just depends from benfica if they want him to stay or sell him to get some money...in neuer s case i think we just have to show him what he have at bayern, such as champions league every year (talking in general) ....as nowadays players seem to check only 2 things before transfering, 1. playing in CL, 2. wage...
-
I still wait on Contreao his first great DEFENSIVE performance against a good opponent. PSV is not the standard for us, Barcelona-Man Utd-Real is our standard. Van der Wiel would be good, Taiwo better (because he's available on a free). Bosingwa would also be good: Free player, experienced and good technical skills.
And Gyan is a great striker, but I'm afraid he won't come
-
No, Coentrao has shown his worth not just in Benifica but also in Portugal national team. I think Coentrao is better than Van der Wiel. Thats no doubt about it, but if Coentrao does come, it means that Lahm will stick to his right side where Lahm is not as good as Lahm on the left side and that has to be considered.
If we are going for Boateng, then we might not need Bosingwa as we will have Lahm or Van der Wiel as first choice right defender and Boateng as backup as well as first choice in central defender.
I hope Bayern can sign Neuer no matter this season or next if the price isnt justified. I am not worrying if Neuer comes or not come this coming season as 20mil Euros on a goalkeeper with just one year contract left seems too aggressive. Unless Bayern can negotiate down to 15mil Euros or less, otherwise, maybe we could ask Kraft to play another season as he doesnt make too much mistake.
But central defenders, side defender, central midfield as well as striker/winger are more needed
-
If we actually do get into Champion League qualification who do we sign for next season? Rummenigge has already said that both Robben and Ribery wont be sold as well as our key players, meaning Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Mueller, etc
On the sell side, either Van Buyten or Demichelis (assume Malaga relegates) will be sold. In addition, Pranjic and Tymoshchuk are also high on the list of departuring players. Obviously, Butt or Kraft will Bayern at the end of the season, if not both. Altintop, Ottl, and possibilly Breno (if involved in Coentrao deal) will be gone too.
On the buy side, I hope we could sign Neuer, Coentrao, Boateng, Alex and Diego. In addition, Ekici will be returned to Bayern after loan deal.
-
Bayern is being linked with André Ayew who can play as attacking midfielder or stirker behind forward or as a backup for either Robben or Ribery.
he is to be rumored as 12mil Euros. Is he worth it?
-
I think not at this moment, but if we wait another year his price will only rise. Has a lot of talent and is normally a first 1 player in Marseille. And Marseille reached second round CL and are top in France, so you must have some skills to play every game. But I would prefer Reus or Barnetta above him.
-
Ayew is a decent addition, but sometimes some of those Africian players play well in a few years and then done nothing for the rest, so we need to be careful about this.
Reus is a winger and would be useful at Bayern.
-
Bayern must buy Neuer. I always see Montolivo (Fiorentina) as a good midfielder, however due to Schweinsteiger / Kroos / Gustavo, Bayern must focus on the defence. Van Buyten instead of Tymoshchuk. Breno instead of Badstuber. Badstuber has sufficient qualities, but he always has a languidly attitude. Lahm to the left as Coentrao is no option (maybe v/d Wiel as right defender).
-
Coentrao, Hizard, Howedes, Neuer and Vidal to come?
I think with the above players plus keeping both Ribery and Robben and the key German national players. Bayern has some potential to win Champion League next season or the season after.
-
I think this is a great article about van der Wiel as many fans think he is capable enough to play for Bayern on the right side, however, this is the reality check. For me, he could well be following Babel, Drenthe and possibilly Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as Ajax's flops.
-
For next season, if Bayern can get into Champion League, we need to sign Neuer, Coentrao, Boateng, Vidal and Hizard to furthur strengthen our squad. In addition, Ekici should come back.
In return, we should let go of either Butt or Kraft, Demichelis, Breno, Pranjic, Ottl, Altintop and Klose.
-
If Bayern can get into Champion League, we seriously need to invest furthur as you can see our bench players against Leverkusen. They are either junior or useless players.
Neuer and Vidal could both come to Bayern as both have cost their team to re-think their cost of keeping them. Dortmund is also opened to negotiation for Sahin as he has turned down a long term contract at Dortmund.
My gut feeling is that Bayern wont be announcing any signings until the season is finished. Neuer, Vidal, Boateng, Coentrao are high on the list and an attacker would be signed as well. Hazard, Gervinho, Ayew are being mentioned recently.
-
Just realized that on top of the players that we/Bayern wished for, there are still plenty to look at as in Premiership, both Arsenal and Chelsea will have a clear sale of at least 5-7 players. Man City will probably bought some stars again this summer and let go of a lot of current players at a discounted price. In Italy, Fiorentina and Juventus might force to sell some of their star players if they cant compete in Europe next season. In Spain, obviously Sevilla would have some nice players there and Madrid will probably again sell some of their underperforming players at a reduced price. And in Germany, there are clubs where they would have 1-2 nice players and is willing to sell their assets, like Wolfsburg, Gladbach, Stuttgart, Werder Bremen and maybe even Schalke 04.

Bayern ready to sign Neuer, but fees isnt confirmed yet.
