FC Bayern Forum

According to Fotomac, FC Bayern are after 26 year old German-born Turkish international striker Cenk Tosun, who is currently on the books of Beşiktaş. Tosun, who was previously plying his trade with Eintracht Frankfurt, scored 24 goals last season.

Better than no backup striker.

NO... NO...NO... Just no. Why there has to be this huge difference between the starter and the back up solution? Juve have Mandzukic, Higuain and even Dybala can play as 9, Real last season had Morata and Benzema, Milan has this season Kalinic and Silva. We should definately go for a better striker, than this turk. And Lewa should be rested at some games, like again Freiburg, Koln, Ausburg, Pokal Cup, or in CL againts Celtic at home. I dont dream a Wener or Auba while Lewa is in the team, only one can be the real star, but we should rise a bit more the standard than this player. I really think and hope that it is just a rumour or a fake news.

Fake news. Fotomac has zero reliability considering they lie all the time.

But what on earth have in their head this journalists? At least if they wanted to invent they should have found something more realistic, something closer too reality.

Well, you're not wrong if you've watched the player (I haven't) and reached that conclusion. However, given that I've given up hope that we'll sign a striker as long as Lewandowski is still alive, I'd say this guy would be an improvement over Wintzheimer/Evina.

What about an older Gomez, like Pizzaro in the past? After the World Cup he will have 32 years, and with good money we could tempt him.

Who was Mandzukic before Bayern signed him ? A guy with 10 goals in Bundesliga and a good Euro in Ukrainia.

What's wrong with people who only want world class player everywhere.

Bayern will not get an amazing #9 as back-up and I rather 1000 times to get this guy who scored 24 goals last season with Besiktas and 6 this season already than having NO BACK UP.

Of course if we can get Gomez next summer I would go for him. Of course if we can get Werner I would go for him.

But really Tosun, even if I didn't see him a lot (three game actually) is a good back-up striker, way better than playing Müller as #9.

Really what is wrong with you.

I like him.Though a deal for the winter window is more unlikely in that case, if any club can wait until the summer to sign him then they could be getting a great deal.Palace actually made a £12 million offer for Tosun which he himself admitted would have been accepted had they made it a week earlier.

He has started the season in great form having scored four goals in six games as well as winning Champions League goal of the week.

After the winter he can play against Besiktas.

Me and him both

So what's special? The article doesn't state the reason.

Bayern are the least likely opponent for Besiktas in the Champions League round of 16, from all their possible opponents. There's only a 10.531% chance.

Bayern is the least likely opponent for everyone in this round but yes Besiktas is the least likely opponent for us also so is pretty unlikely. Chelsea is messing a lot with chances for everyone this year in any case because is the first time ever who any team can have only three opponents in the draw so... I am the only one happy to see who Chelsea and Barca had almost one chance of two to be draw against each other?
