De Ligt golazo. Orobosa makes it 5

FirstbornWds:
All these shalayes are just a testament of pain. Nothing more.

Look at you comparing Benz but you forget that same Benz had the likes of Vini Jnr in the UCL that wasn't just a mobile winger but creative too that could combine well to give a goal. You forgot the tactical changes that Ancelotti employed to bring Rodrygo in that caused a penalty that Benz converted. You forgot the never-aging Modric that could spot a run and still drag defenders out of position to lay it. Let's not forget how he combines well with Benz to press keepers and defenders to make mistakes.

But no now.. The pain of what you have lost is bigger than that.

Lewy is gone... Just deal with it!!

Pain? Are you high on barbiturates? How can we be pained for a striker we got for free used for 8 years and sold for €45m. Shey na ment or malaria? The man is 34 years old nothing he wan play pass wetin e don play already

You're not serious. Imagine comparing Vini, Rodrygo (substitute) and Modric to Benzema that scored 10 goals in 6 matches

Na Modric dey press defenders and keepers to make mistakes so goofy

I would be here to laugh at you when the Lewy you're twerking for here starts his big game ghosting.

Hell will freeze over the season Lewandowski does the madness Benzema did this year at Barcelona

Lastly

Mane on target from the spot

Sabitzer with a typical long range strike to make it 2. It's just DC United sha but boys look fairly sharp

airmark:
Boathand flopped everywhere except when Neuer was at his peak rescuing him.

Belotti?

Lmaoo. You're just chatting rubbish.

@ me when Belotti finds club abeg. Otu striker

FergieRaww:
The price isn't too much for a potential world class talent, we got Vini & Rodrygo for 40mil at that same age

Fair point sha

Dis one just dey waste space for Nairaland...e sure for una, na why una shamelessly sell part of club after boasting 100% fan ownership...scared of Hoffenheim because you can't stand competition

Smart well run club means selling part of your club but Barca selling tv rights is a bad thing...then Leipzig and Hoffenheim are not smartly run

You nor shame talk of greatest players...una own literally fought to be with Barca, so much insult wey una chop, Nagelsmann is yet to recover

I can't blame you sha. After two years of wailing and humiliation I can see why you suddenly found your voice. After signing a 34 year old and that penalty merchant from Milan

Bayern is not DFB. Hoffenheim can do what they please under the rules

Anything teams can do to avoid the disgrace your yeye team faced these last two seasons is allowed.

We sold our player for good compensation on our terms while your own walked for free cos your Brokealona of a club couldn't afford to keep him even after he agreed to a pay cut. We are not the same

BlaqFaze:
Lol...broke calling someone broke...you guys had to sell part of your club to repay loans and fund your stadium...you don't have money for transfers even... literally had to wait to get money from a broke club before you signed your number 1 target but you're calling someone else broke.

Spend the last cash you have to win Bundesliga that's a successful season...

Lmaooooo. Don't compare Bayern Munich to your penny ante club neck deep in debt. 25% of it belongs to 3 Coys while 75% still belongs to Bayern Munich. This is how good clubs are run.

Bayern Munich has the most magnificent edifice in all of Europe and is hosting NFL games this year. What can be hosted in that Nou Dump? Has that dinosaur stadium even been renovated this century? More than 85% of it is uncovered. What's the difference between your stadium and Onikan stadium

Bayern have money. They just don't spend foolishly and spend money they don't have like FC Brokealona. Smart well run clubs like Bayern spend within their means which is why we are not facing the kind of disgrace you faced last season when you couldn't register even players you got on a free

Sotey the greatest player in your club's history you couldn't keep him and lost him for free cause of your riotous spending. Brokealona now moving like NPFL club. Even the Lewandowski you signed you couldn't get your SM team to do proper hype video. Sapa pro max

airmark:
So they even considered Boathand as Flop of the season in France.

Raumdeuter and A40 should start worshipping me on football matters.

Messi, Wijnaldum are on that list. Boateng had the fewest votes. Shows he didn't deserve to be there.

Today is July 20th and Belotti is still clubless. I have never seen a half decent 28 year old without club all my life. Please even if na Mamelodi Sundowns someone sign him

BlaqFaze:
Bayern wan turn selling club like Benfica in other to survive... Dem nor get money sef, the small one wey Barca give dem, dem waste am untop one Defender

Adapting to the times so we don't end up like FC Brokealona.

The embarrassment of these last two seasons must have been a harrowing experience for you guys. Every financially smart club proactively lives within their means so they don't end up like Brokealona. Busted and disgusted

See now to register Lewandowski you have to sell somebody.

andrewbaba44:
Una looseguard konate sha

With the transfer fee he has been commanding he should be above average at least

I can give you young defenders currently better than him

He's only 22. Yet will improve. He's still a starter for club and country which is better than most players his age can claim

The difference between Konate and Upamecano is pretty clear. Our scouts did a terrible job there

kendrick93:
Ghost?
That's funny coming from a Bayern fan who saw first hand how Thiago dominated the 2020 CL final...
Also He made the PL team of the season as well as putting in many incredible performances all through the season..
Seriously there's nothing better than an on- song Thiago alcantara,
He's like poetry...
Deft touches, no look passes, etc...
I judge most people's football knowledge on their opinion of Thiago

Dominated wetin? Wetin e dominate?

Thiago is usually more flash than substance and we saw it in the Final vs Madrid when he saw his superiors. He's usually good against weaker opponents but when faced with an equal you almost don't see him on the pitch.

Go and watch what the likes of Modric and tell me if Thiago belongs in that sphere. Whether for Spain whether for Bayern. Thiago never shows up in the big games. That's why he was chopping bench for Spain in Euro 2020 when he should be unquestioned starter at 30.

raumdeuter:
Juventus reports Deligt transfer

67M payable in 4yrs

Not bad arrangement. Considering we would be moving at least one more person. All the people crying over this transfer must be feeling a bit dumb now. Also saw that he's always wanted to play for Bayern.

This Mathys Tel news is getting serious. They're talking about 20-25mil. That's a lot for a 17 year old. He better be the next Mbappe

kendrick93:
He was still the only to score tho...
So not sure how you can put the Villarreal Loss on him...
His record for Poland is 76g in 136app...not bad considering Poland are minnows in European football

Please in his absence we lost via away goals rule. Scored thrice

In his presence we scored just 1 goal. Who cares if he was the only one to score. Did Bayern need just 1 goal? His mate Benzema if he had that same approach would Madrid have gotten to the Final?

Benzema scored 10 goals in last season's KO stage and Madrid needed every single one of them. That's how you carry a team not Lewandowski's mediocre showing in 2020 when he was piling garbage time goals. Against Chelsea, Barca and Lyon when the ties were decided already. Statpaddin pro max

Portugal were also underachieving and you could even call them minnows prior to C.Ronaldo but see where they are now. Lewandowski failed to lead his team past the group stage of the last two major tournaments. Finished bottom in a group with Colombia, Japan and Senegal. Dkm abeg

kendrick93:
Ronaldo is definitely slowiy down.
Lewa hasn't shown any signs of slowing down ATM..
Besides you're ain't getting rid rather he's one dumping you guys

kendrick93:
Lewa isn't just any star player though..
He's a Bayern legend, in the conversation for Greatest bayern players ever..
I think you guys flirting with Haaland was the last straw..
Then again there are no sentiments in football just as Lewa found out...
If a club can't be loyal to a player then the club and it's fans shouldn't expect loyalty from the player

Greater players have left Bayern. We do not care. You can trawl the internet you won't see any Bayern fans crying about his exit. Ahead ahead

Dumping us ke? We just showed we were ready to let him walk for free. Bayern don't hold any player hostage but if you sign contract you have to fulfill it. Simple

kendrick93:
Let's see what these guys can do without Lewa this season...
Na here we go dey when lamentation go start..
Lewa didn't score but you're forgetting his numerous assists against Chelsea...
His presence alone strikes fear and the others feed on those spaces vacated due to all attention on Lewa..
There's a reason we have Stars and carry alongs...
Lewa is a star, remove that star and suddenly all eyes will be on those support groups, now will they rise up or shrink...
Some players are comfortable being the support guys...
Naso Liverpool do when Suarez left...
Sturridge quality player he was but he crumbled when Suarez left..
Sturridge actually scored more in big games than Suarez when they were both playing and some were deceived by all that...
Remember what happened when Lewa missed the PsG game and what thereafter..
Well at least you've got Mane

What happened? We lost on away goals. Scored in both legs. With the rule change this season we would have entered extra time

What happened when Lewandowski played against a weaker Villareal this year both legs. Only 1 goal. We lost on goals aggregate.

Let's see how Lewandowski fares when he's not getting the service he gets at Bayern. Like say no be the same Lewandowski we dey watch for Poland. We're Gucci with his exit. He can't play more than he's already played for us

kendrick93:
Meet me when we're ten games in to the season....

For now the rest are Twitter noises
Naso Don troll Thiago now where are they

What has the Thiago still done? Which important game has he made decisive contributions? When had he contended for any polling booth award or done anything significant? We saw him ghost as usual in another CL Final

BlaqFaze:
You get mind dey troll Nunez after your club splash €80m for that Big Baby

Why are you crying more than the bereaved? Lewandowski, Sabitzer probably Pavard sales will cover the De Ligt signing. Mind you De Ligt signing is €70m not €80m

Roland17:
What is sports compensation turning into?

J. Soto, the outfielder (LF) for the Washington Nationals rejected a whopping 15 year, $440M offer. This kid is only 23, already a champion and wants to test his value in the market with 2 years left in his current contract. This man is seeking $500M for shorter amount of years which he believes he will get.

I am in the wrong profession

Omo. Where these people dey see this money? See what person for here thinks China and Saudi can replicate

Be like na baseball my pikin go play so

Khanben:
What is the nba without it top 10 players. Are you going to be watching a finals where Middleton is the best player on the court?
It was Stern that made the nba about the players, before him it was Lakers vs Celtics, he came in and changed it to Magic vs Bird.
Furthermore employee and employer dynamic is based on what the employee does for the team, most CEOs and MDs are employees, but they still get ownership stakes as part of the payments.
GSW was a nobody before Steph, whatever valuation GSW is worth today, at the very least 20% is due to what Steph did on the court.

PS: Why does all this stuff not happen in European football, cr7 wanted to leave Madrid while under contract and Madrid reduced his buyout clause and helped facilitate the move, same thing when he wanted to leave Juve, they let him go on a free. But a nba player who can be traded whenever ownership wants, decides he wants a trade then all of a sudden he has committed treason. Maybe we should be asking why they expect some rights for themselves but not the same for players.

And so Giannis, KD, Steph,Lebron play with who? Li Jianlian and Xi Jinping? Abi who go be their teammates

Stern and the league pushed specific players but it wasn't a player league. The players were used to sell the league without any real power. Michael Jordan was the ambassador of the game from pretty much 88 to 98. He didn't start making significant league money till the final 2-3 years of his contract.

Are you talking about the same David Stern that blocked the CP3 to Lakers trade? Go and look up your NBA history. Commissioner Stern was a no nonsense guy

Steph was even more of a nobody. The team surrounded him with talent. Their location also helped. Steph has not done more than what Tim Duncan did for the San Antonio Spurs. Nobody has crowned him shareholder

Ronaldo was moved at the behest of Madrid. Same way the Nets are not obliged to honor KDs request if they're not satisfied with the compensation. Let me reiterate Kevin Durant is a staff of the Nets. The Nets pay him not the other way round. You cannot be dragging equal privileges with the man that cuts your cheque. It's not done anywhere. And when you do agidi laslas the boss will eventually put you in your place.

Say what you want about Lebron but at least he's never not seen out his contracts

Khanben:
Nobody says they will take all, but they can definitely sustain taking the very best.
Also, a $150bil investment with a a yearly return of like 5% for say the 1st 3-5yrs and rising to say 10% after that is something that the nba players as a product can generate if they start their own league, and that is easily sellable in today's financial market. Any fund manager worth their name will scramble to get some of that action.

PS: The next NBA CBA discussion will be starting by latest next year, we will all see that the players will not lose any ground when it's all said and done, because they have a very strong hand and they know how to play it.

Hahahaha. This man is a utopian. See as e dey call $150bn like say na pure water. Where them wan see am? Who will drop $150bn. Not even Saudi Government and China combined

No take laugh kill me abeg. Where do you think the money is going to come from.

Players will definitely lose ground. Not to the degree that people fear but if you think it will just be business as usual you definitely have another thing coming

Khanben:
In the year of the lockout. Dirk was under contract for 4yr/80mil. The Chinese league offered him 1.5mil per month, with the knowledge that he would leave whenever the lockout ended. With the fact that basketball players from the states don't pay taxes in China, I say that is pretty equivalent, we've not even started to talk about the endorsement opportunities and how brands like Nike, Adidas pand puma would love it for the big name guys to play there even if it is for just a season.

PS: you say the owners don't need the money. I say all the players association needs to do is go to either Blackrock or one of the emirates fund and guarantee that if they get the funding for a league, every single player in the nba retires from the nba and joins said new league, if they guarantee coaches a union, coaches will absolutely follow them. In case you think it is far fetched, the PGA just saw how easy it is for players to get funding for a competing tour. Aston Martin one of the worst teams in f1, just secured over $600mil in funding for a paltry 17% stake from the same people. So please keep telling yourself the players don't have an option, if they decide to go nuclear the owners will lose, because their investment will become worthless.
That is why it is in everybody's interest to work together and fix the issues that exists without one group acting as if it's an aristocracy.

Lmaooo. You're a really funny guy. You think Guangdong Tigers will pay Khris Middleton 20mil per season or KCP 10mil for one season of ball? We're talking about sustainability you're bringing up outliers of 1 or 2 players.
China cannot pay NBA money. Better don't kid yourself. They tried it with football. Barely 2 seasons it crashed. You're jonzing if you think the Chinese can bankroll 30 NBA teams and pay anything close to NBA type salary.

There's a reason there's no equivalent of the NBA, NFL or MLB anywhere in the world. The US far and away still have the biggest economy.

Laughable also that you compare the PGA an individual sport to the NBA a team sport. The dynamics are a 1000% different. Laughable that you also compare a 1 time buy-in stake to recurring salaries

Anyway it's not your fault na Adam Silver wey dey form Player's commissioner. In the good old days of David Stern all this nonsense no dey fly

Nothing like aristocracy. It's a boss and employee dynamic. There's no field or sphere of life where employer and employee will always have it equal. And neither should it be that way. The only thing you should push for is disparity to not be too wide.

BlaqFaze:
Lewa don turn "notorious big game ghost"....can you hear how stupid that statement is

I didn't stutter mofo. The best player in the world is Karim Benzema. Not once have you heard me fret about Lewandowski's absence. From our losses to Madrid, to the first leg against Villarreal last season. Lewandowski was a no show

When we won treble in the semis and Finals it was Gnabry and Coman that finished the job, first leg vs Chelsea. Gnabry brace. Semifinals vs Lyon. Gnabry brace to put up 2-0

When we hammered Barca 8. We were literally up 5-2 before Lewandowski scored

So saying these other guys didn't show up in big games is pure cap

andrewbaba44:
We paid 45 ,he can be 50 years old for all I care ,lewandowski no be your regular player ,if you Dey call Messi and Ronaldo and him follow them for back ,he took a huge pay cut to join us as his salary will keep decreasing year by year .

Bayern cannot be claiming to be smart in business but keep overpaying for defenders who aren’t even world class ,same Bayern used James for 2 years loan and refused to purchase him saying he is too expensive

De ligt is not even among top 5 seria A CB ,and yes he is 22 and he can either improve or remain stagnant.

Lewandowski has played what he can play for Bayern Munich. I don't care that he left

You guys literally lost Messi for free so I no know why you dey try troll us

I agree we have overpaid for defenders lately but somehow someway we find a way to balance things up. We got Mazraoui for free and bear in mind we might still offload a Pavard since we also have Stanisic, Nianzou (who we got for free) and Upamecano

Signing Upamecano ahead of Konate was our only major fvck up but nobody knew Konate would be as good and Upamecano as bad. The difference is we got them young so time still dey to sell and balance the books

Don't worry about Bayern we are too well run to fall into financial kpenkelemes like you people

De Ligt is a 22 year old. Show me one World class 22 year old CB since you started watching football

kendrick93:
Don't kid yourself..
You're losing a guaranteed 40-50 goals player from your team..
None of those players you listed have shown such goal scoring ability in their careers..
This is just wishful thinking...
Gnabry, Coman and Sane won't replace Lewa's goals especially in the biggest of games...
It's like when Liverpool lost Suarez and some fans were doing panpangolo metrics about sturridge, Sterling, Balo and Co..
These things don't work in reality

Lewandowski was a notorious big game ghost almost all his time in Bayern. Even the year we won Champions League. Gnabry and Coman were the ones that decided the games with their contributions in the semis and Finals.

We're looking forward to others stepping up in absence of Lewandowski. Players do step up in the absence of a star man. Did you know Benzema would reach Balon D'or levels when Ronaldo left?

3 of the 4 guys in our forward line have tasted victory in the CL Finals. Mane has played in 3. Don't worry about us. Worry about Nunez and Diaz. You know how erratic South American players can be in the premiership

kendrick93:
He was borderline terrible for like a year of football..
Bad touches, couldn't beat a man like the Sadio we knew from 2017- 18...
Infact the main reason he was shifted to a central position is that he's lost that first step that's vital to his ability to beat a player from the wings..

People like us wey watch am go understand what I'm saying..
You think a Luis Diaz can displace a peak mane of 2019 from his position?
Dude is now a now a central striker and I'm suspecting Bayern would be playing him in that position especially now that Lewa is leaving...
Then again it's the Bundesliga....
so he be able to pad his stats

Face your Nunez oh alaye. I'm already getting Timo Werner vibes from him.

raumdeuter:
There's one Tel guy from French league they've been linking to us and Brazzo seem to hard a boner for him

Resigning Gnabry is a good deal too

That kid is only 17. Brazzo should be serious please. Maybe we go carry Belotti

We had to re-sign Gnabry. At 27 he's at that age where he needs to carry this team on his back and show quality on a weekly basis. He should be taking the torch from the likes of Mueller

andrewbaba44:
Bayern always claim to be smart but them they always milk them when it comes to getting defenders

Just imagine two 80 million CB and none of them can even be regarded as world class ,and yet oga dayo will be insulting hummels when none of Bayern current defender is even better than him

Your Lewandowski money is what will fund this transfer. You paid €50m and gave a 34 year old a 4 year deal.

De Ligt is just 22. Big difference

Trevor012:
Keep quite. How much did your foolish club buy someone like Lukaku from Inter ? De ligt will have no shortage of clubs ready to pay higher if he reaches his prime.

Leave these people. They are pained he rejected their club. He will only be 27 at the expiration of his deal. At very worst he would be sold for nothing less than half his price. At best we have someone that can play for the next 10 years

Compare it to people that paid £90m for Lakaka and in less than 6 months are already sweating bullets. Owo ti jonaa.

Make them lo opolo ma spend oh. Era of Sugardaddy is over

Trevor012:
Some of you are delusional. The boy is just 22 and yet to reach his prime. Bayern can use him for good 3 to 4 years and still sell him for profits

Lool you dey mind these ones. They paid 47m for a casted Raheem Sterling and 34m for a 31 year old entering the last year of his deal. Lakaka still dey there oh. £90m and he's already on loan. Jokers

Basically na Lewandowski money dey fund this transfer. And there's defenders that can still be sold to offset that price even more.

Welcome De Ligt. Can't even complain about the transfer price. His buy was basically funded by Lewandowski's transfer.

We've done fairly decent business. Mazraoui, Gravenberch, Mane and De Ligt

Likely we might offload Pavard to help our net even more. It all boils down to are we getting a Lewandowski replacement or we replace from within. Personally I'd want to challenge the likes of Gnabry, Mane, Coman and Sane. I don't see why 2 players from this 4 cannot drop 20-25 goals in all comps
