Word is we might get Lewa. Is he not more of an impact sub like Giroud at 33?

[Syltherin 25]

get Vlahovic for €60m now, pre-agreement with Raiola & Dortmund RC for €75m next season. then we have 2 young talented striker for the next 6-8 years....

[avrobsws 29]

We are not getting any elite players, what's the point of winning UCL ? What exactly the management doing and especially Mariana ?

No offence to Giroud but calling Lewandowski an impact sub like the former might be an insult to the latter. 

And seems like you're referring to the latest story that came from The Sun? They say we're gonna bid £50 million (50 MILLION!?) for him. Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the stupidity of the BS rumor.

If they both want to be the best they won’t play on the same team. 

that literally makes no sense

Ah yes, the impact sub who just scored 41 league goals in 29 matches this past season and overall 55 goals the season before.

If anything, Lewandowski has only gotten better since turning 30 and is currently playing the best football of his career. Of course he's at an age where decline might be rapid when it finally happens but so far there's no signs of him slowing down.

Not that he's leaving Bayern anyway but I'd definitely take him if a transfer was doable,

[Pizy 18,368]

Lewa is literally in the perfect situation at Bayern. Gets to play in by far the best team in Germany surrounded by brilliant players who make everything easier for him on top of that. For someone who’s nearly 33 and in such an ideal situation, why would he want to come to the cauldron that is the PL?

He strikes me as someone who will continue living the easy like at Bayern for a couple more years and then going to MLS to finish his career.

He could so easily have been playing in the PL were it not for some volcanos!

That Lewa link is from The Sun, no? Likely to be BS if it is.

I wish we’d try for Griezmann since Haaland isn’t happening. Loan with option or obligation to buy next summer. Had a very solid season with Barca and has a skill set that I feel would mesh excellently with our other attackers. Not only a great finisher but can also create for others which would be very useful when teams park the bus against us.

We’ve done the loan thing with several strikers before so it’s not silly to think we’d try. Of course his wages may be an issue as well as him being in love with living in Spain. 

[whats happening 1,525]

i agree about griezmann but without the obligation, because that can be really bad if he ends up being bad.

The guy is on €800k a week, he has already told Barca to forget about shifting him to Atleti if they think he is taking a pay cut. 

No way do we bring him in, unless Barca agree to loan him and cover €550k a week of his wages. This doesn't really make any sense for them as that wouldn't help clear enough of their wage costs. 

Further to this, he has been recently caught in his third of fourth racial incident in the past few years. Not sure I really want someone that is going to bring that kind of heat down on the club.

L’Équipe report that Premier League side Chelsea are looking into the feasibility of engineering a swap arrangement with Bayern Munich that would see Kingsley Coman and Callum Hudson Odoi switch clubs.

Coman, who is under contract with the Bavarians until 2023, recently hired Pini Zahavi as his agent. Talks over an extension have been dead for 2 months, after Bayern offered the player €13m a year gross. He is currently on €9m a year gross, but wants to match Leroy Sané’s €18m a year gross. Talks are therefore at a standstill.

Especially as the German outfit are understood to have made €150m in losses over the course of the 2020/21 campaign. As a result, Bayern have opened the door to the sale of Coman in the coming weeks – however, their initial stance is making a deal totally impossible for the rest of Europe’s elite – asking for €90m.

Manchester United had looked at the player before concluding a deal for Jadon Sancho, Manchester City, Liverpool but above all Chelsea are also monitoring the situation.

Thomas Tuchel has never hidden how much he leaves Coman as a player – Chelsea’s board would like to include Callum Hudson-Odoi in a deal, as the English winger is not in Tuchel’s plans for the coming season and Bayern have shown historic interest in him.

New boss Julian Nagelsmann would like to keep Coman, feeling that the French international’s ability to break lines will be key in his early reign as Bayern boss. 

The situation will continue to evolve in the coming weeks.

Just nonsense because they have no news so need clicks.

Coman rumours are BS.

Also I don't think Bayern are too keen on doing business with us.

One thing we read early on might very well be true: We are not buying anyone until TT has evaluated all the dregs and decided who should be offloaded and who he will keep in the team.

I refuse to believe all our deadwood actually is completely useless. Sure most simply will not cut it at the top level but TT has specific tactical requirements and coaching methods. Some players who did not really fit with those of his predecessors mighte excel under his. Just like Moses was a dreg until tried as RWB by Conte.
