I'd love Goretzka and Tielemans but it'll probably be Witsel, Bentancur, Kessie...

yeah forgot Bentancur but wouldnt he be loaned out 1st? i think he will judging from previous similar transfers. would also be nice if Mandragora could prove himself and stay as vice Marchisio

about Goretzka and Tielsman, one of them would be great, both absolutely amazing. cant see us making so many changes in the team however

I think they want to keep Bentancur and yeah, I'd love to see Mandragora play a few games here. Maybe Coppa Italia and some minutes here and there in A.

I read we (and lot's of other top clubs...) are interested in this Mbappé kid. Just rumors?

They call him "new Henry"

If we get him I hope we don't play him at LB.

definitely nothing against keeping Bentancur around but not sure we can pull it off number wise. Marchisio, Khedira, Pjanic, Witsel, Kessie, Lemina, Sturaro, Mandragora. already 8 players. if we go 4312 though, maybe we could keep 9-10 mids

Next years midfield in a 4312:

Marchisio
Khedira
Pjanic
Witsel
Kessie
Lemina
Sturaro
Mandragora
Pjaca
Draxler/Tielemans/Dahoud/Veratti/Matuidi/Febregas etc..

One of the problems we encountered this year was finding a vice-marchisio replacement. Hopefully, we can see the growth of mandragora into that vice-marchisio role we need. If that does not happen i can see the likes of Lemina and Pjanic filling that role if needed.

I think bentacur will probavly be loaned to a sassuolo type club for more experience unless he impresses the team. he might become the desperate number 10 that we need behind our strikers. But i really hope Pjaca recovers well from his injury and fills that role because he looks a fantastic player; he just needs the platform to become so.

Car crash?

Wouldnt sell him even for 40M

that money can buy you 3 ousmane dembele if you have good scouts..

where's Witsel?

 

[rakib567]

where's Witsel?

oh wait

 

[Zacheryah]

The main midfield focus is a player like Kessie or better. We dont need fancy the fuck. We need players that allow superior beeing like Pjanic and Dybala to perform.

 

[rakib567]

Potentially 10 (11 if you include bentacur) Players for 4 positions. that's a lot; i can see either one of lemina/Sturaro being sold and a loan of mandragora.

- - - Updated - - -

Also one thing to take into account is the rise of talents like 19 yr old Vitale and 20 yr old Tello who are on loan.

If we switch to a 4312 with Pjanic as number 10, the best possible midfield would include Khedira Marchisio Witsel which imo isn't good enough.
A backup of Kessie-Lemina-Sturaro is better than what we have not and has potential to be great in the future.
We need a super-signing like veratti or signing of james rodriguez (with pushing pjanic back to CM) for example. Alternatives include young players like draxler/dahoud/tielemans and reliance on their development.

If we switch to 4312, which we dont know yet, we will get 3 mids, 4 max depending on who leaves (if we don't switch to 4312, then no more than 3 new mids definitely, including Bentancur) will be signed. Marchisio, Khedira/high profile expensive mid, Pjanic, Lemina, Sturaro, Witsel, Kessie, Bentancur, Mandragora/Sensi/no one.

a vice-marchisio replacement

We give them Zaza, they give us Jorginho

The same good scouts/management who thought they could replace Hummels with Bartra, bought back that trainwreck Götze,
and paid €30m for Schürrle. But you are right, they do have an eye for future Bayern players, no one scouts them like Dortmund.

We only scouted:

Pogba (signed for €300k sold for a world record fee.)
Coman (signed for €300k, soon to be sold for combined €28m)

We also don't need to scout many talents, because unlike Dortmund, we bring in already established players, such as:
Pirlo, Tevez, Barzagli, Khedira, Higuain, Mandzukic, Pjanic, Benatia, Evra, Dani Alves or Cuadrado on a regular basis, and most of them for dirt cheap.

Add young players like Rugani, who looks like he's gonna be a starter soon, Lirola, Pjaca, Dybala,
Kean (i bet we could already sell him for €30m), Alex Sandro, Lemina, and all the other talents we loaned out
or are playing in the primavera. (I'm too lazy to name them all. Check them out on your own.)

In the end i think it's not toooo bad.

At least we aren't going to give away our WC striker for free (and to our direct rivals.)...
...or sell our captain for €35m (and again, to a direct rivals.)

Is our management perfect? No, but i think they've done a pretty decent job so far.

*Dembele did cost €15m

btw Bayern chief scout was attending last Dortmund match There goes the next wave of #echteliebe players @DAiDEViL

Dembele to Bayern in 2-3 years, Obama off to Real Madrid next season. They better have good scouts. ::

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

He's one of the few that adds pace to our mid. I'm more than fine with him at B2B.

Exactly. Pace and power, our midfield looks so much stronger with him in the B2B role. Just wish he knew how to shoot
