Never seemed to settle, but I don't remember any weird incidents aside from burning down his house. He arrived when he was 18; relocating is really hard on some people especially somewhere you don't speak the language. Had a friend in law school who constantly dealt with crippling homesickness and he was from like 500 miles away.

So... van Persie? Stupid Mandzukic

Honestly, I think Mandžo is not kind of caliber for Bayern. He had great season in Wolfsburg, but will probably have same destiny as Pranjić and Olić under Heynckes, more on the bench. He is good, quality player, though.

Why is RvP unrealistic?

If bayern want to go uber technical ala spain/barca they can put RvP as a (dear god I hate to use this term) *false 9*.

This recent summer might have cursed him though so I'm curious to see how he does next season.

He's not realistic because we have signed Mandzukic.

And no worries about curses either, our entire team is carrying one.

So anyway, I was happy about the Sammer hiring, but also initially thought "that was harsh on Nerlinger".

And then I thought about what he's done in the last two years...

Reus
Vidal
Coentrao

We need a ******* closer because just imagine our team with those three guys next year. Those are the missing pieces. Then you look at the signings he did make

Alexander Baumjohann (flop)
Ivica Olic (good)
Danijel Pranjic (flop)
Mario Gomez (can't say this is bad, but I can at least complain about the transfer fee)
Arjen Robben (good, but this was probably Hoeness)
Edson Braafheid (flop)
Anatoliy Tymoschuk (huge price tag)
Luiz Gustavo (huge price tag)
David Alaba (gem)
Rafinha (flop)
Nils Petersen (flop)
Manuel Neuer (good, but Uli again)
Jerome Boateng (don't get me ******* started)
Xherdan Shaqiri (probably great, but who knows)

That's not a great success ratio, especially given the prices he's paid for some of these guys. He also sold Mats Hummels. For comparison's sake, in Uli's last 3 years, here were his signings.

Hamit Altintop (okay, but free)
Jose Sosa (flop)
Franck Ribery (superstar)
Miroslav Klose (star)
Marcell Jansen (flop)
Breno (incarcerated)
Luca Toni (superstar)
Jan Schlaudraff (flop)
Daniel van Buyten (starter for like 5 years)
Mark van Bommel (captain)
Lukas Podolski (flop)
Ali Karimi (haha)
Valerien Ismael (flop)

I didn't count the summer of 2008 because I wasn't sure who made the signings, and there weren't many anyway. But the point being, to me there's just no comparison, Nerlinger was a big step down from Uli and we need someone who can do this job as well as everyone else at the club does their job. Our stature was much less when Uli was making the signings, but he made bigger and better ones than Nerlinger has. That's pathetic. Right now we should realistically be competing with the top EPL clubs for players. We can compete in terms of salary, endorsements (oh trust me, Bayern has this **** DOWN), trophies, and even exposure. Bayern is one of the 5 best clubs in the world right now without question (Barca, Madrid, United, Chelsea), and we're picking through scraps. Bye, Nerlinger, hope you enjoy Wolfsburg.

Oh and tits.
I know you are gonna curse me for this Shifty but I honestly think you need to find a replacement for Van Bommel. Someone who can take responsibility,is aggressive and can lead with some presence. Can be a bit of cvnt for the team and to teammates when needed. I really like Schweini as a player but he is a bit of a choker. Lahm is a leader by example as in playing consistently well. Don't need to give him the armband or anything but you get my point hopefully.

Khedira- was a ******* beast in the Euros. I would say the best German performer. But thats less likely to happen.

or Martinez who is linked to you constantly could do it as well.

You got linked to M'vila as well I think but even though he has a lot of presence physically....he is a calm,easy and cool MF. We need him to sort out the constant panic and have much more stronger control in midfield.

Yeah, Gustavo is a great holder. He was a first choice player last year too, just suspended for the CL Final unfortunately.

According to Fox Sports, The Kaiser wants Khedira at Bayern. Very unlikely to happen, Rummenigge said Bayern transfers are over.

Btw, is there any reason players like Schweinsteiger, Kroos and Gomez stick to their +30 numbers. Even Valencia upgraded himself.

It's a reminder to some players of where they came from. Everyone is different. If it was me I'd want a low number.
