Looks like Munich's schedule is not getting any easier either.

Well they got Schalke coming up next week in the Cup and Hannover in the league. Then a home game against Hamburg and afterwards the 2nd leg against Inter. That's really tough.

I can't believe average age of Dortmund is 22.7
they can reach more successes consistently every year but I can see big teams targeting subotic,sahin,barrios,goetze etc in summer

I can see it coming, too.
They all got long term contracts, though.
2016: Bender
2014: Subotic, Schmelzer, Kuba, Großkreutz, Götze, Lewandowski, Barrios
2013: Sahin, Hummels, Kagawa

I don't think they sell anyone unless it's evident that he'll leave.
Essentially, I think it's going to come down whether Sahin, Hummels and Kagawa decide to stay or leave in 2013. If all three guys stay I can very well see them keeping their entire core together and becoming a huge team in Europe again.
They way their team is build currently they can already start saving money to keep their studs. No need for big investments in the near future. They've got a great young player on almost every position now.

You forgot the most important contract: Klopp until 2014

Anyway, I don't think that Dortmund will sell any players. The only guys who are semi-targeted (Götze by ManU, Hummels by Bayern) come with huge price tags. LOL at Bayern for selling Hummels in the first place :lol:

lol

I never even realized that Dortmund got Lewandowski.

I remember that guy from 2-3 years ago being a wonderkid in FM.

Good player. It's a bit sad that they got Barrios in front of him and play mostly with only 1 real striker. Lewandowski has gotta come off the bench for the last 20 minutes or so of the game.

LMAO. It looks like that defeat against Dortmund has completely soaked out all life out of Munich's players. I've never seen them play this horrible like today against Schalke. And I watch almost every Champions League and Cup matches from them.

Bayern is perfecting the art of "having the ball yet posing no threat". Seldom seen so much uninspired attacking from a FCB squad.

Funny that you can currently beat Bayern just by playing good D, and just waiting until they get sloppy. It always works...

The way they're currently playing they'll manage to lose against Inter again in 2 weeks. It's hard to imagine that this is the team that nearly three-peated last season.

So has Mario Gomez finally started being useful or is Bayern just bouncing the ball into the net off of him?

Well, he's hitting the goal but he's one of the worst strikers I know when it comes to helping his team create chances. Got a good goal instinct but sometimes I feel like I wouldn't do so many passing failures.

I also don't like his pansy look. :wink:

Next big game: red-hot Hannover 96 - ice-cold FC Bayern Munich

If Bayern loses, AND especially when Munich crashes out vs Milan, van Gaal may be fired.

I don't think they'll have a problem with Hannover at all. That's a team they usually beat 3-0 and they'll do it again.

I can't.

The only thing I can smell today is that I gotta work in 3 hours till 1 o'clock in the morning. :-?

The only positive note on that is that I return home perfectly in time to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves destroying the Philadelphia 6ers...or well more likely being destroyed.

Doesn't look like we'll see Bayern in the CL next year

They'll fire van Gaal after this game end then go on a run. I've watched the last 15 minutes of this game and this team is not playing for their coach. They play like pussies.

smh at Munich. Leverkusen putting on a real show though, Wolfsburg's D can't stop anything.
