sahin would be awesome, but i don't see how we can snatch him. schweini is a lock at cm and kroos made a huge step forward this season.
using Emre Can as the third option at cm is actually a great idea. hopefully our FO thinks the same way.

Read this tweet last week:
United 47pc was beaten only by Bilbao (73), Sociedad (57), Barca (51), Freiburg (51) and Bayern M (49).


So there's a stat which tells us that Freiburg is just as good in something as Barca and better than Bayern and Manchester United. Let's see if anybody can guess what this means. It's nothing negative or pointless... well, perhaps a bit pointless. Still makes me kinda proud.

Sahin has played 8 games all season long. Including 2 against lesser competition (in Copa del Rey).
I don't think he's happy with that situation. Throw 15 mil. on the table and he's probably yours. Even Hamit Altintop appeared in 12 games. :lol:

Hopefully, Munich is wise enough to loan Emre Can to a 2nd league club next season. He needs to play against better cometition than 4th league opponents.

Nah.

Minutes played by players from own youth academy last weekend. Augsburg, Bermen, Hertha, Nürnberg and Wolfsburg had 0% that matchday.

I smell an Auswärtssieg for my Mainzer in Munich today. Bet Heynckes is gonna rotate for the Champions League.

well with dortmund on their way to yet another lucky W and the upcoming Real match, your chances are not that bad.

Or Mainz gets totally slaughtered because the team is in an absoule rage mode. (although highly unlikely)

If I was Heynckes Ribery, Robben, Kroos, Lahm, Badstuber and Müller don't play today.

Well, I guess it was probably less intense than a training match. Might actually be better than resting because you kee the game rythm

I was majorly pissed when I saw Ribery come into the game, not to mention Robben played the whole damn game. Thankfully there were no injuries and Shweinstiger got some good playing time. Were going to need him for the Madrid match.

Congratz to Greuther Fürth for promotion into the Bundesliga. This means that Henry Kissinger (who was born in Fürth) can finally fulfill his lifelong dream: seeing a Fürth game in the 1st Bundesliga.

After already pulling back vs Mainz, I fully expect Bayern to wheel out this juggernaut team vs Werder:

Butt - Rafinha, Can, Jüllich, Contento - Usami, Deul, Tymoshuk, Pranjic - Petersen, Olic :D

Heck, I even see some of the Bayern ladies team making a debut before Heynckes risks injury... :wink:

I still wonder what happened to this Jennings guy they bought before the season. Is he too bad to even make the bench? :party:

I think both teams have to qualify for it first, as it looks like Hertha Berlin and Paderborn/St. Pauli are more likely to finish with those playoff seeds in their respective leagues.

Still, being a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, a Cologne vs Duesseldorf matchup in relegation would be pretty "interesting".

I mean, I'd just sit back, eat some chips and other stuff, dring some beers and enjoy a fist fight for hopefully two games, extra time and a penalty shootout. :lol:
