Tim Borowski

Now that everyone knows Borowski will wear a Bayern shirt next season, the fans will start booing him and I think that he will no play a big role in the second half of the season for Bremen whick means he will be short of match practise....I think!

I don't mind the fact that Bayern are hated because that is just normal. A popular and successful team will always be hated. However, what I'm not a big fan of is the way Bayern pillages other Bundesliga teams for players. Of course, it's bound to happen but they seem to rely on it too much. I would like them to try and attract some players outside of the league just a little bit more. Sometimes it feels like they don't want to be bother with the hassle of attracting outside the league players. It's like they don't want to spend too much time doing it unless they really, really want to.

Everyone doesn't seem to like that we sign other Bundesliga stars, but don't forget that we also just signed the Player of the Year of the Brazilian league. We're no different from any of the other top teams in Europe, or even in different sports worldwide. Money and a serious gameplan for success are what attract players these days, for better or for worse. Somebody's always losing out when a good player changes clubs. It doesn't matter what league they come from.
As for signing more international stars, that's cool I guess, but don't forget about Blatter and Platini's "6+5 plan" that could well become a reality. If that became a rule today, Bayern would not be able to start any game with their current absolute best 11. If you think about that then Borowski is an even better signing that he is without that silly rule!

Bayern has always been Germany NT + some few foreign stars + some new German talents, and there is no reason to believe that is going to change if the formula proved results in the past, both at DBL level and European Level.

I prefer this over Arsenal without British players!

I remember that back in the early 90's after most top profile German players have gone to Italy (Brehmen, Matthaus and Klinsmann to Inter, Voeller and Berthold to Roma, Hassler, Kohler and Reuter to Juventus) Bayern started to "import" most of them back to the DBL.

Borowski will be a good fit. I expect Van Bommel leaving for sure, and maybe Ze Roberto (only because of his age as I see Klinsmann implementing a re-juvenation process). I also see Klinsi fighting to keep Lahm although he is gotten very expensive and I am sure most big European clubs will go after him when the season ends.

I don't think Ze Roberto will be leaving. He is playing a lot better than Van Bommel at the same position, and I think it would be a serious lack of ethics from the board if they show him the exit door---after all, Ze quit the Brazilian national team to come to Bayern because this was one of the demands made by Hoeness and Rummenigge. It would be really shitty to show him the exit door after they made him quit the national team...

I think next season Bayern will play with only one CDM, which will be Ze as first choice (Ottl being the second, and VB will be leaving). Borowski will play CM with a much more attacking role.

Ze' won't leave us in any case. I think he will end his career here. And, Klinsmann will not object. Because, the team needs to hold on to its experienced players.
However, I could imagine MvB leaving us at the end of this season.

Why are people asking if it was hitzfield move or klinsmann????

Naturally it was Klinsmann considering the player wont even be playing for the reds untill next season when klinnsmann is incharge!!

MvB hes pretty much gone by the end of the season i remember him for barca he was on the down fall of his career and last year for bayern he was an important player but now hes getting beat up and we have to put better players on the field so i belaive he is gone.

Ze is staying will he start next year? we will see but he is deff staying

lahm? im nto sure i remember during the world cup Beckenbaur was talking about how lahm is one of the best up an domcing defensive players righ tnow and i thought that was becasue they wanted to boost up his vaule for trade, But klinnsmann is a big supporter of lahm i bealive when he was coaching the national team he had lahm as a defensive wing baack and i recall many times where lahm would run up with the ball and cross it in to the box i think lahm is going to stay

sagnol tho?? i respect him alot hes a great player, hes one of the big reasons why ribery came to this team but i think his days might be numberd becausejensen has been pretty impressive so we will have to see

AS FOR TRANSFERS

STOP BRINGING IN FOWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring in a great middie cough cough DE ROSSI cough cough

we need a great versatile middie because the team has not been the same since ballack has left

Hej Huggseybear31. That signature you have is pretty impressive and a great piece of art but can you resize it and make it smaller?

Borowski is a really good player and showed he was a key player in the German NT during the World Cup. This is one of the reasons Klinsman probably wanted to bring borowski into Bayern. I think it is a great move and probably a signal that von bommel will leave at the end of the season.

Why Borowski why? We have ze, mvb, sosa, kroos, schweini, and altintop who can all play in the middle. i say we give sosa and kroos a chance to establish themselves--if they do not succeed then yea - bring in another player. But we have so much talent now it's unfair to buy these players--hailing their abilities--and then throwing them on the bench. Kroos maybe a bit too young--although he is performing well. But sosa in midseason training has looked good.

i never thought I would say this but, I kind of feel sorry for bremen and it's fans. Two of their iconic players shafting them two years in a row.
