EVERY time he scores - yeah I know - He always gives it the 'A' to his Mrs Alicw but hes not done it for the past few. Instead he looks like a bear swallowing a bee hive!

Fabregas and Morata need replacing properly, but not sure about the rest. 2017's terrible summer transfer window has left the squad bloated with some players that don't even really need replacing. Drinkwater hasn't played yet so wouldn't be missed. Moses has now been overtaken by CHO so wouldn't need replacing. Sarri has also said that Cahill doesn't need replacing as we have Christensen and Ampadu. Zappacosta probably should be replaced but to be honest I'd love Reece James to come back next season and play games as understudy to Azpi. He definitely has the potential to become first choice one day and 10-15 games next season as backup would be the next stage in his development. If the club did this though they'd either need to hang on to Zappa until the summer or make do. I guess if needed Rudiger or Ampadu could play at right back. Azpi is nailed on first choice and will be club captain when Cahill leaves so as long as he doesn't get injured he'll start most if not all games for the rest of this season.

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Whilst they are an extremely well run club and I have a huge amount of respect for them, there is no doubt that Bayern are helped by the gulf in size and power between them and any other club in Germany. I know there is a lot of hatred for Bayern over in Germany as my granddad has lived over there for many years, yet teams seemingly bend over for them and let them cherry pick at will. Teams like Dortmund will always come at them now and again but it's hard to see another club ever sustaining a long term challenge on their stranglehold when they just hoover up the best players throughout Germany whilst also having the power to go for bigger players outside of the country too. I know the money in the English league plays a part, but even in years previous a premium has always needed to be paid to buy within our own league and the so called smaller clubs won't just get bullied by the bigger clubs (case in point we paid £17m for Duff and £21m for SWP, but only £12m for Robben). Always been a big gripe for me with the Bundesliga. mccg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
