Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Webetcoins]

Next year will be a year for Bayern Munich to compete for the Champions League. Last year, they won the Bundesliga and exceeded expectations,

Exceeded expectations?
Bayern not winning the Bundesliga was a shock, them winning is the absolute normal, they only lost it once to Bayer for the first time since 2011. Nobody is going to congratulate them for doing what everyone was expecting from them.
Also finishing 12th in the knockout stage and then eliminated in the quarter finals, again it's nothing amazing, quarter finals is the norm, only in 2018 were they eliminated at an earlier stage.

Lol, that is true. In any given year, Bayern "should" be winning the league, they are spending 5 times more than their closest rivals Dortmund. And in theory, Dortmund should be second place every year too, but that doesn't happen, so did Bayern winning because Leverkusen won a year ago.

So all in all, I would say it's expected for Bayern to win, we have gotten used to that a lot more. Things are a bit more complicated when you have no idea what's happening. Bayern will do fine at UCL too, definitely above group stage, so we need to realize Bayern is a HUGE club, they are making a lot of money and with that money they should be able to win and that has to be something they can benefit and not really do that much difficulty.

Liverpool agree £65.5m sale of winger Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich

Liverpool have agreed to sell Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to €75m (£65.5m). The Colombian, 28, is poised to fly from Liverpool’s training camp in Tokyo, having been given permission to travel for a medical with the German champions.

Bayern had made Díaz a long-term target and were forced to pay what the English champions demanded as fair market value. Díaz was keen for the move, having first indicated in the summer of 2024 he was open to a transfer. Liverpool reluctantly decided to sell the popular player as part of a summer reboot of their forward line, having twice offered a new contract to a player who arrived from Porto in January 2022

Díaz was left out of Liverpool’s pre-season 4-2 defeat in Hong Kong against Milan, with Arne Slot confirming the absence was because of a possible transfer. “In Lucho’s situation it was, yeah,” the Liverpool manager said. “There are a lot of rumours around it lately and I cannot go into that. But he is training really well with us and we have decided, for now, not to play him yet.”

Liverpool paid Porto €45m plus add‑ons for Díaz, with only €4m triggered, bringing his total cost to €49m. Diaz is expected to depart the Liverpool camp within the next 24 hours as Slot prepares his squad for a meeting with Yokohama F Marinos on Wednesday.

Liverpool are seeking to bring in funds, having this summer signed Florian Wirtz, a long-term Bayern target, and Hugo Ekitike in two of the biggest deals in club history, and it is understood they are exploring other deals. There are continued links made to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who is open to a move from Tyneside. Darwin Núñez, also linked with a transfer, also did not play against Milan game, though Slot said the Uruguayan forward was absent on fitness grounds.

If Liverpool also manage to offload Darwin Nunez, then I have to say that they are one of the few clubs that have successfully built squad depth in this summer transfer window. At a glance, Arne Slot seems to be letting go of good players in order to bring in even better ones. Reportedly, Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Alexander Isak, and a deal is likely to be finalized soon. Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott will likely be released to cover the costs of signing Alexander Isak.

Honestly, €75m for 28 years old winger is obviously a risky move. He's also on the way reach 29 years old. Only hope he will stay healthy at Bayern, and played consistently. I'm sure he will be a great winger, but don't know whether he will worth with €75m bayern paid to Liverpool.
He's good in dribling and pace, but still remarkably inconsistent. I hope he can fix that.

Yes, I also think the price is too high. Liverpool even rejected Bayern Munich's initial offer of €67 million, even though that was already quite high. However, Bayern had no choice but to add depth to their squad; they had to spend a lot of money to bring Luiz Diaz from Liverpool. And I think one of the reasons Liverpool sold Luiz Diaz for such a high price was to recoup the cost of bringing Florian Wirz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Speaking of the Colombian's performance, appearances, and record, I agree that his performances on the pitch are considered inconsistent. Likewise, considering his record last season in the Premier League with Liverpool, 13 goals and 5 assists is not particularly impressive for a striker, but hopefully, his record can improve when he joins Munich.

[LGD2Business]

Liverpool's left winger Luis Diaz appears to be on his way to Bayern München. Diaz had announced his desire to leave Liverpool. Bayern plans to pay 75 million Euro for him. They had previously offered 68 million Euro, but this was rejected. Liverpool had been expecting 80 million Euro, but according to recent reports they have agreed to lower the price. I think they will accept this offer. In my opinion, Diaz isn't worth that much money, but we'll soon see how he performs in the Bundesliga. Bayern is once again trying to sign the best players. They already have no rivals in the league.

This is a good deal for Bayern munich. Although I think 75 million is a bit too much. Even so  it is not a problem for Bayern Munich, a rich club. Bayern Munich's right winger Sane has left the squad. Is Kompany planning to use Diaz as a replacement for Sane ? But Diaz is a left winger. I do not know what Kompany's plan is. However Munich needed to find a worthy replacement for Sane. Diaz is a talented player, no doubt about it. However, I am worried about how Kompany will fill the void created by Sane's departure from the squad.

[Adbitco]

Next year will be a year for Bayern Munich to compete for the Champions League. Last year, they won the Bundesliga and exceeded expectations, but this year, expectations are even higher. Their manager is also more experienced and knows the team. The players' ability to play together and be in harmony is a huge advantage for Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is now aiming to be one of the strongest teams in Europe next year. We'll see how close they get to that goal. I believe they will win the Bundesliga; there's no team that can challenge them right now.

How does a team that usually wins the league exceeds expectations for winning what they usually win? They literally have no rival in the Bundesliga and it was a thing of joy to most fans that Bayern Munich failed to win the league two seasons ago and it was just a matter of time before they reclaim it back again if which they did last season, no surprise at all because we all expected it.
It's already 98% certain that Bayern Munich will win the league again.

Luiz Diaz is a not a bad choice of a winger as he gets to join Bayern Munich. They really have a good time with him playing for them as much as they want. He might not be a young player but if he can give them what they want, they won’t bother to keep him for longer time. You can imagine the age at which Lewandowski joined Barcelona and he’s still performing very well there without minding his age amongst other players. €75m for him is not too much but if they count have gotten him less than that is not still bad. They have the money and they may not feel the price as been too high for them not to get what they want. So it’s not a bad move but a tactical one to them to help them even in the champions league next season.

Those who found joy in the fact that Bayern Munich lost the league title two seasons ago probably did because  at a point the league was beginning to feel boring having one team continually win the title every season without any other team having a test of the victory and it turns out that a least expected team now denied them of the trophy making it even.more interesting and I wish it will continue that way whereby the league becomes actually unpredictable,  this is the same thing seen in the French League which made it got the nickname as the farmers league.

Bayern Munich remains the most favored club in the Bundesliga next season. Yes, they continue to strive to strengthen their squad by bringing in several top players. As for Dortmund, they are also making similar efforts, but not as significant as Bayern Munich.

So far, their top signings this season are Jobe Bellingham (young central midfielder) and Yan Couto (right-back) from Manchester City. However, the transfer window is still relatively closed, and there have been no further moves.



Moreover, the transfer rumor is also only about these:


They really like new young players, moreover they sign more defenders and goalkeeper again.

Many hope for a repeat of such a surprise, so the Bundesliga trophy race won't be boring anymore. Leverkusen broke Bayern Munich dominance in unexpected fashion, going undefeated throughout the season, which surprised many. Perhaps other Bundesliga contenders will be able to do the same again in the future, but for now, I see Bayern Munich as still very resilient in maintaining their dominance.

In my opinion, Dortmund and Leverkusen have quite good squad depth, but not as luxurious as Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich financial strength means the gap in the Bundesliga is still very pronounced, which at first glance is very similar to the situation in Ligue 1. Next season, Bayern Munich will likely be successful in defending the trophy again.

The kind of believe people had on them was what made it look like they performed exceptionally well last season. After Bayern Leverkusen won the last trophy from them, they were no doubt already seeing another team that could not easily bounce back to regain the trophy. When it happens to be Kompany as their new head coach, many already started concluding about how bad they think the season will end up for them, so that is  how many expectations was broken beyond and not anything exceptional about them will be appreciated for now even they happen to be the league winners.

A new chapter for the champions league is what achievement will mean to their fans for them if they win the trophy because as long as the Bundesliga already stands, Bayern Munich will still find a way to win it back without taking longer time anytime they lose it to another club. They have dominated the game and have proven that several times that they are the best and rules the competition.

[stompix]

If you want to entertain yourself, how about you read this one?

Leverkusen is becoming Bayern Leverkusen and now Agbe did the impossible and discovered that Erik ten Hag is not from the Netherlands, but from China. His real name is "ten hang". Or maybe it is English? Like the number and the verb? Maybe you got an idea and if yes, please enlighten me.

Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny

But probably ten hang means that if he loses ten points, he hangs his players or something? Maybe a new strategy, I think I saw that with Borussia Munchengladbach, Sttuttgartt and Bayer 1860. 
Neah, some people are beyond hope!

!~

The expectation from Kompany in his first year was to win the Bundesliga title again, and he did. That's what I meant. Of course, when the team in question is Bayern Munich, a Bundesliga title is a natural fit. Now, they need to advance beyond the quarterfinals of next year's Champions League campaign. The team may be a little less effective offensively after Musiala's serious injury, but if they continue to compete, why shouldn't they reach the Champions League finals again? They're likely to win the Bundesliga next year. The important thing for them is whether they can reach the UCL final.

You really needed to turn the reply in which you should have just acknowledged you wrote something really, but really stupid into a 4-line of nothing?

Yeah, Diaz is still a risky gamble, but worthy enough to try considering they lost Sane to the Galatasaray. Diaz's transfer is finally fixing lack of depth on their left winger. Only hope he can baller at Bayern.
Bundesliga is a bit easy than EPL. It must be quite easy for him to adapt. Only hope people there won't underestimate him.

I reserve my judgement for him and will comeback later after i saw how good/bad his performance with my eyes.

Liverpool agree £65.5m sale of winger Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich

Liverpool have agreed to sell Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to €75m (£65.5m). The Colombian, 28, is poised to fly from Liverpool’s training camp in Tokyo, having been given permission to travel for a medical with the German champions.

Luis Diaz is a player who doesn't seem to have achieved much with Liverpool. I'd say he had average success last year. Bayern Munich will pay him a substantial sum and sign him from Liverpool. Time will tell whether he'll be worth the money. I agree with you, because paying such a high price for a player at his age makes no sense. However, Musiala, who will be out with a long-term injury, has completely changed Bayern Munich's plans.

Bayern Munich are the strongest force in the bundesliga but my problem with them is that they can't show the same dominance when they face other strong clubs from the other league in the champions league. They score alot of goals but those are goals against smaller teams in the champions league and not when they face the  top giants. They should look at how dominant PSG was in their last champions league season, that's how Bayern Munich are supposed to be playing. They should still be winning their league but that should no longer be an achievement for them because they're bigger than that now.

Liverpool's left winger Luis Diaz appears to be on his way to Bayern München. Diaz had announced his desire to leave Liverpool. Bayern plans to pay 75 million Euro for him. They had previously offered 68 million Euro, but this was rejected. Liverpool had been expecting 80 million Euro, but according to recent reports they have agreed to lower the price.

However, I am worried about how Kompany will fill the void created by Sane's departure from the squad.

The transfer window isn't even over yet, and I'm sure Bayern Munich will make a good signing there. They've taken on a significant financial burden for Diaz and will need to sell. They need to create a budget to acquire a right-winger. They need to fill the void in that area. If Leroy Sane were available, they could have played this season without any problems, but they let him go, and there's still a gap in that area. If they want to win the Champions League, a good signing is essential.

You are right here and I also share the same sentiment as you bro, over the years, this Bayern Munich wingers hasn't delivered as expected, Leroy sane, Gnabry and even the french playmaker that was just added to the squad recently hasn't lived up to expectations, their numbers is too poor for an elite team like Bayern Munich, if three of them can give out the list 15goals per person, in  a season, their is a higher probability that they would have won the uefa champions league, but their goal contribution like goals and assist are too poor, so they really need to sign someone that guarantees goals to this team.

Depending heavily on harry Kane is why they are mostly struggling against a stronger opposition because if you can shut down the threat of harry Kane, you have shut down like 80% of the attacking prowess of this Bayern Munich team which shouldn't have been so, so signing a winger that guarantees goals is a must if they want to compete with the very best next season, especially in the uefa champions league.

Sane is a cancer, good for Bayern Munich to get rid from him.

He ever had a problem with Mane, Mane punched him, I believe Sane's character is really that bad which made a humble man like Mane punched him. Luis Diaz is a good replacement, he's better than Sane in anything.

Bayern Munich still need to sign a new goalkeeper, once Neuer injured, they have no one who're in the same level like Neuer.

That's because Bayern Munich's financial strength and also the seriousness of building a team from Bayern Munich's management is not the same as other teams so we have easily predicted that Bayern Munich will most likely win the Bundesliga regardless of success or failure but in football anything is possible and there are also many surprises such as Leverkusen breaking Bayern Munich's dominance in the last two seasons, it is also possible to repeat it but I think in the long term.
