“I don’t think there’s any realistic chance Bayern Munich will let Thomas Muller leave, If there was something serious going on they would be very careful to keep it quiet because politically it’s dynamite. If they let Muller go, there would be riots in the streets of Munich.” German football expert Raf Honigstein

I have to agree with that statement, Muller is arguably Bayern's best player and is also a product of their youth system, selling him at his prime would be disastrous regardless of the amount. Anyway going by what Muller said yesterday i don't think he's going anywhere...

Bayern Munich must retail a German Core

Quickly edited this one after seeing it's a done deal. I wonder why LvG decided against following him after all the toying last season.

Bayern are now overloaded in the midfield and look frighteningly formidable - another Bundesliga title beckons with like 10 games to spare...boring league. It's Europe where we'll see what they're made of if/when they meet Barca

Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Sergio Romero as a result of the uncertainty over David De Gea.

Argentina international Romero, 28, was a free agent after leaving Sampdoria and will replace Spaniard Victor Valdes, who has been told he can leave.

Romero, who signs a three-year deal, played in the 2014 World Cup final and won the 2008-09 Eredivisie title under Louis van Gaal at AZ Alkmaar.




De Gea is into his final year of his contract and is wanted by Real Madrid.

"We have to prepare our season with the threat that David De Gea is going to Real Madrid," said Van Gaal.

"Sergio Romero can fulfil that because we have to handle it very quickly if it happens."

If De Gea stays, Van Gaal said Romero could compete for a first-team place.

"You need always competition. When I see that a player is better than the player in the line-up he shall play the next match."

Romero, who knocked Van Gaal's Netherlands out of the World Cup by saving two penalties in a semi-final shootout, becomes United's fifth signing of the summer.

Romero is an okay signing for Utd, and can give good competition to De Gea if he stays. I don't rate him highly despite saving 2 penalties in the final against the Dutch in the world cup,if he was a great goalie his name would be mentioned in the same breath as Casillas, Buffon, Cech, De Gea and more lately Oblak, Navas, Claudio Bravo or even Cillespen.

Looks like Utd have almost agreed a fee for Di Maria with PSG, definitely less than what Utd got him for but still should be a tidy sum - hope we spend it wisely instead of these ridiculous rumours of putting up 70M pund bids for Muller. He'd be an instant hit but definitely not worth that much.

Maybe Pedro to give Depay, Young and Adnan competition and definitely Otamendi to boost central defense. Ramos will not come to Utd, the sooner we move on from that the better. Striking still has a gap, unless Rooney or Chicharito has a stellar 20+ goals season.

I thought the guys paid karibu 60M - how is that a recoup, si hako ni ka hasara ka 15M hivi
