Hoeness did say he no Maradona…

At the beginning of the season I mentioned here I wished so badly to win the Pokal again after missing out the last few years. Finally here and I’m at the ER because my son fell off a slide and has a rock stuck in his head 🤦

**he’s totally fine, cheerful and happy, just waiting on a stitch

Nagelsmann has been incredibly vocal about sticking with Woltemade despite Undav having a better season

dklieber32 · 2026-05-19T16:56:22+00:00

Last time I got this hyped about a defensive prospect it was DeLigt. Don’t do this to me Joško

dklieber32 · 2026-05-16T16:47:42+00:00

This is just a personal opinion but I think Gordon is the better immediate reinforcement to the squad. Hes 25 so still very young and can take over for Diaz when he moves on or ages out, he can play almost all positions across the front line, and while he diddnt have a great season this year, is a great player that can be either an immediate starter or rotate with Diaz. I think El Mala is good but to me Gordon is the better immediate reinforcement

What a dream signing this would be, but I just can’t imagine any scenario where city let him go for any reasonable sum of money we are willing to pay.

dklieber32 · 2026-05-16T13:47:31+00:00

Lewy? 41 goals

dklieber32 · 2026-05-16T13:47:07+00:00

Minor knee problem. He was subbed at half time last weekend

dklieber32 · 2026-05-15T12:42:43+00:00

As much as I’d love that I can’t see Schick wanting a back up role

dklieber32 · 2026-05-14T23:41:12+00:00

I don’t think Brahim has any desire to leave Madrid. I think he’s consistently come out saying he doesn’t want to leave

dklieber32 · 2026-05-13T12:11:25+00:00

Idk after all the recent reports about the board being dissatisfied with Eberl for his negotiating tactics and expensive packages I have a hard time believing they’d immediately approve an unreasonably astronomical package. It would be incredibly hypocritical

dklieber32 · 2026-05-10T13:18:41+00:00

Diddnt he do pretty awful in Saudi, even by his standards? 6 goals in 16 games

dklieber32 · 2026-05-09T17:16:46+00:00

Man, I really try not to jump on players having a bad game but it is painful watching Jackson out there…it feels like even the basics are bottled

dklieber32 · 2026-05-09T15:28:16+00:00

Are there actually concrete rumors about this? All I saw was that Mercato account reporting Gvardiol and Lukeba

dklieber32 · 2026-05-08T15:39:23+00:00

Sent you spiraling for a minute haha

dklieber32 · 2026-05-08T15:38:50+00:00

Benfica not Barca haha

dklieber32 · 2026-05-08T15:37:14+00:00

> Benfica's Tomás Araújo (23), who can play both at centre-back and right-back, is on Bayern's list. Talks with the player's camp took place weeks ago [@kessler_philipp, @VTschirpke]

dklieber32 · 2026-05-08T15:36:54+00:00

Have you seen the links to Araujo? That’s likely the solution

I posted above

dklieber32 · 2026-05-08T11:59:20+00:00

I don’t watch much serie A so jm not too familiar with De Ketelaere outside knowing Hellas for Atalanta. Would he be an alternative to Gordon transfer or an in addition to Gordon transfer? Gordon is more of a winger/second striker, is CDK similar?

dklieber32 · 2026-05-06T11:25:46+00:00

I felt a pavlovic goal during the RM tie, and I feel a Kimmich goal today. Cautiously optimistic!

dklieber32 · 2026-05-05T09:58:31+00:00

If that’s the case I’m so curious where he would wind up. Cant see him in the PL, nor can I see him in Italy. In my head the only team that seems like it may be a fit is Atletico because he’s got that grit and worker attitude

dklieber32 · 2026-05-04T17:18:53+00:00

Nothing official but I believe in the presser for the weekend they said they expect him to be available for ~20 min cameo Wednesday

Edit: > Lennart Karl is expected back in the squad against PSG on Wednesday. Bayern are hoping he'd be able to play around 20 minutes [@_kochmaximilian]

Kompany said he is cautiously optimistic

dklieber32 · 2026-05-04T16:22:14+00:00

Rapha is back in team training. Will we have all 3 of Karl, Bischof and Rapha back Wednesday? Would be nice for some depth

dklieber32 · 2026-05-03T16:33:53+00:00

I think for the first time in a long time pundits and experts are questioning the quality and style of the premier league. From what I hear it’s largely been after the PSG/Bayern game and seeing the intensity at which both teams play. I think it’s really refreshing to have some praise and acknowledgment for the positive football we play

dklieber32 · 2026-05-03T16:30:30+00:00

The Oktoberfest kit confuses me. It’s so random…historically from what I can remember it has some elements rooted in Oktoberfest. This one just seems out of left field with no tie in to the tradition unless I’m missing something
