FC Bayern Forum

FC Bayern have completed the signings of Niklas Süle (21) and Sebastian Rudy (26) from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The two Germany internationals will join the German record champions on 1 July 2017. Sebastian Rudy signed a three-year contract binding him to the club until 30 June 2020, whereas Süle put his name to a five-year contract until 30 June 2022.

"It's an absolute dream for me to go to Munich. FC Bayern are one of the greatest clubs in the world," said Rudy. "In terms of it being a farewell I feel a little wistful too," declared Hoffenheim's home-grown talent Süle, but also pointed to the great chance of "maturing further with one of the best teams in the world."

The two signings in my opinion comes with contrasting fortunes; it's quite easy to see that of Rudy as a player who could quite be a surplus to requirement to the squad. Süle on the other hand is a wonderful young aggressive defender who comes in a period when the club needs a reliable backup to the inconsistent injury prone defensive partnership. Süle could have been a wonderful addition to the squad this January window considering the fact Badstuber had been loaned out!!

I see it the other way around. I think Rudy is needed at least equally if not more than Sule. With Alonso leaving there's only Vidal and Thiago left as realistic options. Sanches is error prone yet and needs some time to develop.
