Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[tulusikhlas]

Sebastian Haller is a really good signing for Dortmund now. Maybe it is very difficult for him to replace Erling Haaland but Dortmund wouldn't be in such expectation either. They must have just wanted to sign a trustworthy striker to be effective in attacking as always. They have made some moves for their defense too but I hope it can be enough for them. Because it is their weakest point to improve right now. Their weakness in their defense caused them to be out of the title race early.

It's true that their weakest point is in the defensive line, but for now after Haaland's departure I see there will be a new weakness created, namely in their attack line. I don't mean to doubt their striker next season, but I haven't seen his contribution at Borussia Dortmund. Maybe all my doubts changed when I saw him playing well for Dortmund.

Bayern not getting Ronaldo is not a shocker, that was always known. Why get rid of Lewandowski, and then get Ronaldo instead? Dude is like 37-38 years old, wouldn't have made sense. I still can't believe that they lost Haaland though, they should have gotten him. Bayern could have paid so much more than what City pays, because they haven't spend too much money so far.

City keeps on spending a ton of money, Bayern keeps on saving a lot of money by spending less, and earning so much. In any case, they need someone younger, someone in the range of 24-29, if they could get someone at around that age, that would be great and it would make sense.

I think, Bayern Munich will definitely get a talented striker at the age of 24 to 29 that will help the team to achieve victory in all the matches in next season because Bayern Munich president is willing to use any amount of money to get such player in this season.  I don't think, Bayern Munich coach will allow cristiano Ronaldo to join the team because he didn't really performed well in Manchester united and many Bayern Munich players will not be happy for he to join the team again. Bayern Munich president willing to sign in Haaland  in this season but the money to sign him into the team is too high because the team has over spend money in other things in the team.

I see it is quite easy for Bayern Munich to get players, how not with their power to dominate the Bundesliga and become a regular team participating in the Champions League it will be a consideration for players if they refuse Bayern Munich. But indeed even though they can play every season in the Champions League but they still haven't been able to achieve something extraordinary (champion).

As far as I remember Bayern won't praise any players after a certain age and even more , they won't even show respect to that player. There are only a few players that took respect from the board after leaving or ending career and those are Kahn and Lahm. They had Klose , who has been sold to Lazio and made the fans angry , then it was Kross and Schweinsteiger with Ribery and Roben. With so many examples of bad behaving from Bayern board , I do hope Ronaldo won't even step into Bayern pitch as their player. Their CEO don't deserve Ronaldo ...simple as that but this is just my own opinion about Bayern.

Sebastian Haller is a really good signing for Dortmund now. Maybe it is very difficult for him to replace Erling Haaland but Dortmund wouldn't be in such expectation either. They must have just wanted to sign a trustworthy striker to be effective in attacking as always. They have made some moves for their defense too but I hope it can be enough for them. Because it is their weakest point to improve right now. Their weakness in their defense caused them to be out of the title race early.

It will be difficult for Dortmund to find a very energetic player like Erling Haaland, Although Sebastien Haller did very well at Ajax last season, I don't think he will be able to replace Haaland at Dortmund. But, back to your statement that it looks like Dortmund are not looking for a replacement for Haaland, they signed Haller only as a starting line-up for the main players. Overall, I also hope Haller can make a good performance with Dortmund.

Apparently, Bayern Munich is really not interested in Ronaldo's services, because representatives of the club consistently deny the possibility of a transfer of a football player. Now the CEO is Oliver Kahn. he said that Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers, but this transfer does not correspond to the philosophy of the club.  It's a pity, because in my opinion, after the probable departure of Lewandowski, Ronaldo would be a great replacement for at least a couple of seasons. The option with Paris Saint-Germain is unlikely due to the financial fair play and because Neymar stayed at the club. I am almost sure that Ronaldo will not agree to a significant salary reduction for a move to PSG when Messi and Mbappe have such high salaries.

Despite what said by Oliver Kahn Bayern Munich appriciated with Cristiano Ronaldo talented but he doesn't need Cristiano Ronaldo right now in Bayern team. I think Oliver Kahn have seen over career from Cristiano Ronaldo and not worth for future investment by getting Ronaldo from Manchester United. Bayern Munich still faced the trouble with Lewandowski future keep extended with Bayern Munich left one year contract or looking for new team and leave Bayern have give many trophies so far.

Firstly, Lewandowski is not lost yet, and secondly, he started this whole epic - in Bavaria, they initially wanted him to finalize the contract to the end. As for Haaland, it's a tricky question - on the one hand, the City paid comical amounts of money for him (75 million or even less), but on the other hand, they paid him a huge signing bonus plus he'll be getting a huge salary. Bavaria is not yet ready for such expenses, although it is time for them to understand that the market has changed and it will not be cheaper.

Bayern have to fill his place because of Lewandowski's willingness to leave. Ronaldo can still play ball at that level. I don't see it as a situation against Bayern's structure. What I would criticize is: Bayern Munich is a simple team in the champions league. And if they lose the star in their hand, they can't show any success. Winning the German league is no longer an achievement for Munich. Their goal should be the champions league. If they call themselves the big team.

I think that they will create a talented young player rather than looking for a replacement for Haaland. It's clear that when they look for a player like Haaland they need to spend quite a bit of money, I don't see that Borussia Dortmund is a team that can spend big money to buy players. It's not that they can't afford to spend that much money, but they won't.

It would be unreasonable to expect anything like that from Sebastian Haller. If anything they are trying to make him one of the premier strikers. After that, they are going to sell him again like they always do for a substantial amount of money.

And I think they obviously had problems with the defensive lineup. However, they also could not score enough goals as their main striker Erling Haaland was injured for quite a long time in the last season. I hope that this time they don’t have any problems like that and they will be able to play attacking football.

[Z-tight]

I also predict Lewandowski will be forced to honor his remaining contract with Bayern, and have to be patient to wait another year
if he want to join Barcelona.

Bayern have the "power of contract" to do that, but i feel they won't, Lewandowsky is a legend in Munich and has been of their greatest players ever, and so he ought to be treated with respect, forcing him to stay with the club for another one year is disrespectful and insensitive especially after all the player has helped them achieve all these years together. If Lewandowsky has decided on his own to move on, i feel Bayern should honor that request and let him go, what will it benefit them to keep hold of a player that will probably be unhappy all year in their dressing room. If Bayern are going to keep Lewandowsky, then let them solve the problem he is having with the club so he can have a change of heart, but forcing him to stay is stupid.

Haven't seen Haller play since at West ham but yeah Haaland has the unique play style and movement so certainly will be missing out on those I guess. Haller is a good player and has improved a lot while his career at Ajax but I still think that he won't be much impactful as Haaland was. I also think he will be sold later onwards if they find a young potential player. But still Haller is not a bad signings, just made to patch things up for the moment.

Supposedly, a statement from Bayern's top brass some time ago was enough to prove that Ronaldo would not be brought to Bayern regardless of whether Lewandowski was there or not.
They've said they're not interested and I think that means that having Ronaldo there or not they're confident enough to get into the season.
Actually the possibility is closed for Ronaldo now with Bayern so can't give any speculation about him and Bayern.

I followed and watched Haller nearly a year now and its the same for him as with Haaland , he also has unique playing style.
If you looking at the statistics he is at some points already a bit better as Haaland .
I guess we will see a very much diffrent and better Dortmund as we have seen last season.

Bayern Munich president willing to sign in Haaland  in this season but the money to sign him into the team is too high because the team has over spend money in other things in the team.

I believe Bayern Munich still has a balanced team. To be honest it didn’t have made much sense if they had got Ronaldo. But if they had got Cristiano Ronaldo for Robert Lewandowski on a swap deal it could have made more sense.

I think that they can still let Robert Lewandowski without any big problems. I believe in the next season the performance of Robert Lewandowski is going to deteriorate. And another thing is if Bayern Munich got Haaland for anything more than what Manchester City was giving them it wouldn’t have also made sense. But if they did they could easily let Robert Lewandowski go.

Will take your word then since you have seen him play. Glad that he has improved since he left West Ham for Ajax and now Dortmund. It's a new chapter and new challenge to prove himself that he is capable of playing first team striker for a good team at big competitions. Hope that he can do much more that what Dortmund expects of him.

So what do you think- will they be able to give Bayern a better and tough competition for the title than last season?

I was positive about Borussia Dortmund in last few days as they were investing and having few exciting players for next season but now with the words from @Lafu I have feeling that now we can watch very tough challenge between these two giants from Germany in coming season because they had never been serious about trophies but now after selling Haaland they have few good signings which can improve their strength, and they can fight for title.

In last season they were in good position but suddenly have few big setbacks and specially early knocked out from Champions League were also had big impact on player's mentality but with their preparation going for next season look like they will be in better position and could be more lethal than past.

[CryptoBuds]

I feel that Dortmund will keep him for a year or two and then sell him for a higher price probably to Bayern only, and if that happens then it would be smart business for Dortmund as they’ll be able to reinvest in young player’s. Also Ronaldo isn’t coming to Bayern this is just a tactic to get more wages from Manchester United, and in the end he’ll continue to play at Manchester United only for this season.

There are fewer young players in the Dortmund team at the moment. So it seems unlikely to me that they will make a lot of money selling a player next season. However, Ronaldo may not be leaving Manchester United. Now if Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich, will Bayern Munich find a replacement? Without Lewandowski, Bayern Munich will not be able to do well in the Champions League next season. They should now find a replacement for Lewandowski.

This could be the reason they can't completely compete with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga Liga, selling all the big names and quality players. Marco Reus is the only committed player as he has always rejected talks leading to a potential exit outta the club.
There is a possibility of Ronaldo leaving Manchester United, these is beyond expectations, if Bayern accepts him now, bet you that,it won't take three four days to get thr deal finalized.

Barcelona President openly said thanks to Lewandoski for showing and making great effort to join Barcelona.

de Ligt seems to be much interested in the switch to Bayern Munich, I read from the news paper today stating, Bayern Munich has submitted funds to Juventus for him already.

If Dortmund had not sold Haaland this season and invested some more money to bring in new players, they would undoubtedly have fought Bayern Munich to win the title next season. But they did not. And they have decided to make money selling Haaland, they have no desire to win the title.

We have been hearing rumors about Lewandowski for a long time. But we do not see any progress in this regard. Bayern Munich now want to keep Lewandowski in the team. At the same time Barcelona do not have enough money now. But I am interested to see Lewandowski in the Barcelona jersey.

Bayern Munich are probably building the team to win the Champions League this season. And if Lewandowski leaves the team, they will definitely want to get Ronaldo in the team

Bayern Munich is a team that never thinks that a player can be able to perform well even after he is 35 or 36 years old. They just don't care about older players. But we all know that Real Madrid played really well even with the aging generation of players that they have and won the Champions League trophy.

There is no reason why Bayern Munich should behave badly or let the older players retire. But that is what has been happening for a long time in Bayern Munich. While watching all that, I also hoped Cristiano Ronaldo would not be transferred to Bayern Munich. Even if he performs well he is not entitled to be treated with respect, as was Robert Lewandowski.

He will play a good season in Dortmund im certain. England premier league is hard for everyone while Netherlands league is weaker and so is bundesliga. In bundesliga there is a lot of open space so he will score a lot of goals. But i think they want be able to win with this team the league
