Bayern don’t spend like Kings and therefore I mostly stay away from the Transfer section of this website (and elsewhere on the internet) because it’s mostly hogwash and speculation!

Top notch attitude there, champ!

I don’t follow transfers because I got no control over who Bayern buy or not. None of us do and I don’t like getting my hopes up over something that the Bayern hierarchy have 100% control over and I (nor any other user here) don’t have any say in the decisions made. At best I have opinions regarding certain signings which I sometimes express on that subsection but that’s that really.

Some guys here were really positive that CHO and Lucas would very likely be Bayern players in January. Here we are half month gone and still it’s all speculation and nothing concrete.

Predicting lineups with players who have still not been signed is similar to daydreaming and I find that laughable.

What I find laughable is the logic you are using, because predicting lineups with players who are currently under contract is, likewise, similar to daydreaming, given that:

1. They could get injured
2. They could get sick
3. They could get leave of absence due to personal reasons
4. They could get suspended for disciplinary reasons
5. They could be sold (we are in a transfer window after all)
6. They could get loaned out
7. They could get fired
8. They could get their contract dissolved by mutual consent
9. They could retire from football
10. They could die
11. One of the clubs could cease to exist (in which case the match is never played)
12. The world could end

... and so forth.

That's why it is a PREDICTION, because that's exactly what it is. Making predictions with players who haven't been signed is simply a bolder prediction, nothing more nothing less.

Well, you have no control over Bayern winning or losing a match as well, shouldn't you stop watching games? Being a football fan is all about speculating, discussing and being a spectator. At the end of the day you don't have control over anything.

1. They could get injured - Something in the hands of fate. Transfers are in the hands of Bayern board
2. They could get sick - Same as above. Although said player can take precautions to not eat bad stuff or drink too much or not smoke.
3. They could get leave of absence due to personal reasons - Well this too is a matter of luck and not related to negotiations between board CEOs
4. They could get suspended for disciplinary reasons - Getting suspended is something that happens when the player does something very egregious. This is something that the players can control and not at all dependent on the Spending decisions of the Bayern board.
5. They could be sold (we are in a transfer window after all) - Bayern are in no position to sell or loan anyone out right now because of our appear thin squad
6. They could get loaned out - See above
7. They could get fired - A very far fetched scenario so highly unlikely
8. They could get their contract dissolved by mutual consent - A very far fetched scenario so highly unlikely
9. They could retire from football - A very far fetched scenario so highly unlikely
10. They could die - A very far fetched scenario so highly unlikely
11. One of the clubs could cease to exist (in which case the match is never played) - Sounding like a broken record now with the copy pasting but once again it is a very far fetched scenario and highly unlikely to come to fruition
12. The world could end

- Seriously ?! This too again would go to point one regarding fate

... and so forth.

Exactly the prediction with players not signed yet is not just too bold it is downright unrealistic and therefore futile. I could post a lineup with 50% of the players being linked to us and it would still be utopian.

I don’t know about others but soccer is an escape for me. It’s all about escapism. I watch games to forget about stuff going on in life and vicariously live the game through my team. Once the game is over, I either rant on the internet (when we lose) or go do something to distract myself. If we win then I smile and move onto something work related because I’m in a good mood.

Therefore for me watching the game is more about the experience (and my team winning in the process) than actually being concerned over controlling results.

Again maybe it’s just me but because of the shit happening elsewhere in my life I could care less about how many millions are gonna be spent of some rich football player who may or may not represent the team I root for and I hate the disappointment after an expected transfer.

Anyway you guys can continue with what you like I was just expressing my opinion.


Back to the game: Bayern must win this match to put pressure on Dortmund because they play Leipzig away the next day.

I forgot to add that players could get abducted by aliens or get kidnapped.

Making bold predictions is what makes predictions interesting. For example, I could predict Ulreich to start against Hoffenheim, and if he does ... I'd be a legend wouldn't I? Wouldn't matter if he got suspended for one match for peeing in Starke's coffee, I'd still have gotten the prediction correct.

You're basically dissing people for not predicting the plain old boring safe formation.

Try to enjoy life a little bit more mate.

Can’t wait for Bayern to be back in action

BILD usually gets it right



If Müller has to play no matter what, then I'm fine with this lineup. Maybe swapping both James and Müller.

Anything with Lewandowski, Coman, James, Kimmich and Thiago would do.

Oh look, I forgot we'll get to see Vogt

Müller or James on the wing? Boateng and Hummels partnership? How is that nice?
