GWT: Champions League Semi-Finals

[Vipers31]

Yeah, it gets more hilarious all the time that Bayern's bosses thought Xabi could replace Kroos (and Schweinsteiger).

Well, that never happened.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Why did they sell Kroos

They should do

Hummels + 25M for Gotze and Kimmich

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

What even happened to Fabian Schar

is he not a bright prospect anymore

what about Tielemans

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Well, that never happened.

They sold Kroos off and many, many Bayern fans not only approved it but ragged on Kroos endlessly.

Alonso is horribly inefficient tonight, Thiago is running like a headless chicken and Vidal is a nutjob. There is no calm, focused presence.

The first half was embarrassing.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

almost scored a nice screamer

 

[cgf]

Bernat & Xabi for Mueller and Kimmich would do bayern a lot of good.

 

[Vipers31]

Why did they sell Kroos

Contract dispute, didn't want to pay what he wanted; somewhere in the process, Kroos decided to move on. With one year left, they preferred to take the money.

They should do

Hummels + 25M for Gotze and Kimmich

There's no need to talk Kimmich. It's not like you can just include him against his will like with hockey trades, either.

What even happened to Fabian Schar

is he not a bright prospect anymore

what about Tielemans

He's doing very well for Hoppenheim next to Sule lately. He struggled to adapt for a little while, but has been excellent under Nagelsmann.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Bernat & Xabi for Mueller and Kimmich would do bayern a lot of good.

Bernat's been terrible tonight, so far seems like he can only swing the ball back to the CB like a dumb oaf.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Well, that never happened.

They refused to pay Kroos and ignored Guardiola's request to keep him and decided to save money by buying Xabi for cheap. That's how I understand that affair.

 

[Just Win]

Why did they sell Kroos

For the same reason Dortmund will sell Hummels. Player with one contract year left who is not willing to extend his contract.

Hummels + 25M for Gotze and Kimmich

This is about as bad as your typical trade board proposal. Bayern gets rekt.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Time to bring on Muller and/or Ribery

Robben if he is healthy too

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

For the same reason Dortmund will sell Hummels. Player with one contract year left who is not willing to extend his contract.

He wanted to stay and negotiated for a year. He agreed to leave when it became clear that Bayern didn't rate him enough to pay him what Gotze was gifted.

Best part - Alonso's salary is just as high as what Kroos wanted!

I hate everything about that transfer.

Dortmund will include future superstar and former 1st overall pick Nail Yakupov

Seriously though I hope they get rekt I'm sick of them taking our stars

Yeah, I'm going to act like you said as much as you did in the past half year. Sorry, but you're basically a disaster tourist.

Just for the record: Alonso was a last second transfer in reaction to a long injury for Martinez. There was enough quality in midfield when Kroos left, and Alaba was expected to move up, as well. Vidal replaced Schweinsteiger, and was no downgrade over last or this year's Bastian.

 

[Evilo]

Does anyone know the set play conversion with Heynckes vs with Guardiola for Bayern?
Maybe it's just an impression, but Bayern looks awfully not dangerous on corners.

 

[Vipers31]

I hate everything about that transfer.

More of this? Kroos wanted €12M, Alonso got €8M.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

is it just me or does Douglas Costa only cross?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Simeone has to make a change...Baynern inch closer and closer.

We definitely are terribly ineffective on set plays, but that's been a very, very old theme. I'm pretty sure we were terrible at that even a couple coaches before Jupp.

Can't even admit that I was against the transfer?

I was removed from HF for a long time, I'm no disaster tourist. Also, I watch matches at bars or pubs usually, I happen to be home tonight.

Do you really think the first-half is beyond criticizing? Bernat, Alonso, Thiago were horrible.

Team got much shorter.

Kroos wanted 12, they offered him ~5. More than what Rafinha ended up paid IIRC.

I'm not sure where you got 8 for Alonso, I've seen 10.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Ribery on for Coman

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

For what it's worth, the second half has been more what I expected from this match. Bayern don't look utterly incompetant this half.
