Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[ingiltere]

If Chelsea don't sign Haaland, they will most likely go for Lewandowski or Lukaku. I'm curious whether Lewandowski would want to go to Chelsea this summer. But it seems to me that there is a really low probability for it to happen. Because I think that not only Bayern but also Lewandowski wouldn't like this kind of a deal now. Lewandowski is really happy there.

I don't think that would happen at all. Lewandowski is a superstar in Bayern and break all records. He can fit anywhere but I don't think he would like to go and play in Premier League. If he makes a transfer that would probably be Real Madrid. I still think he won't leave Bayern this season.
Dortmund said they don't want to sell Haaland after Sancho move but money talks you know. If they get something like 180m € offer they have to sell him. You can't refuse that kind of offer for any player.

Both Halland and Lewandowski will stay in the bundesliga. Especially Lewandowski he is really happy in Bayern and has won everything he can and made some big records with them so i dont see a point of changing clubs. Halland can leave but i think we are already too close to the start of the season for him to leave

That's right, the fact that Lewandowski has already won everything possible in the Bundesliga can encourage the Polish player to change the situation and move to another championship. I don't think that Bayern will allow you to make a transfer to some other German club, but to a foreign club quite. But still, I continue to believe that the transfer of Haaland is much more likely in this summer transfer window than the potential departure of Lewandowski from Bayern. But if a butterfly can cause large-scale natural phenomena on the other side of our planet with its wing flap, then the departure or abandonment of a Norwegian player in Borussia can really affect the transfer market in the most incredible way. By the way, Lewandowski doesn't seem to have made any statements recently about how happy or unhappy he is in Bayern.

Haha oh my god, anyone saw the results for Schalke against Hamburg? The Schalke guys continue they way they played the whole last season. It would be really funny to see Schalke lose the first five or six games. They would get so nervous, probably starting the plans for third league!

Why I was not surprised to see such poor results because simply I was expecting it that clown mode button is still ON in Schalke setting. They will fight for the top bottom position this season too tho...

The schedule for the 2. Bundesliga war already published. The opening game will be held between Hamburger SC and Schalke 04.
-snip-

Why Schalke 0 is so lucky to always start the first game? Will they continue playing in clown mode and receive 8 eggs again or did they improved? I see they made some transfer and get back some loaned players without getting any one new in the attack line.

The other game Bremen finished 1-1 vs Hanovre.

fc augsburg is interested in Tajon Buchanan from the american msl - the right winger is expected to join augsburg in winter

Tajon Buchanan has been a revelation for the Canadian national team at the Gold Cup this summer. The 22-year-old winger, who can also play as a left-back has been fantastic replacing superstar Alphonso Davies for John Herdman's side. The New England Revolution star has been linked with a transfer to Europe for some time and it appears that Bundesliga side FC Augsburg are now among the frontrunners.

If Haaland doesn't sell this year and Dortmund doesn't extend his contract, his contract expires next year. BvB Dortmund could lose a football star like Haaland for free with no revenue. They are also aware of this. So if the contract cannot be renewed, it would be more profitable for them to sell it.

According to a source, Bayer Leverkusen have rejected a £30m offer from Aston Villa for Leon Bailey (23). I really enjoyed watching him in the last season. He got 9 goals and 9 assists in 30 Bundesliga games. I think he is a player who has a good potential and he is still young. If he has another productive season, maybe we can see him at a big club in the next season.

His talent is without question great and he is still young. But he's been at Bayer Leverkusen for several years and he hasn't made the big breakthrough yet. I think he will not make this breakthrough, because he always draws attention to himself with escapades. And with the Jamaican national team, he doesn't have the best team to draw attention to himself in international competitions. For me, the best sign of whether a Bundesliaga player is world class (or has the potential to become word class) is when Bayern Munich is interested. And they haven't had that so far.

Absolutely deserved if you ask me. Lewandowski is breaking one record after another and was once again the strongest Bundesliga player last season. With a performance like that, you can really only applaud him. I am curious whether he will be able to maintain his outstanding form in the next few years. He' s not getting any younger after all.

Haaland contract expires in June 2024 but he can quit Dortmund next year after paying €75m.
I read Chelsea offered around €150m to Dortmund, accept it or leave it, I think it is a golden chance for Dortmund otherwise they will lose him next year most probably for half that number!

How Haaland can have that term in his contract with Dortmund? It is a very good term for him to release himself from Dortmund and find bigger clubs. If your information is correct, Dortmund should sell Haaland in this summer. Because I am sure that Haaland does not want to end his career or finish the contract to 2024 with Dortmund.

I think such term usually is included two seasons before the end of a contract.

Haaland’s Dortmund release clause inactive for 2 years

A report from The London Evening Standard says that Haaland’s $82 million release clause isn’t active until 2022. His contract runs through the 2023-24 season, so he won’t even be entering the final year of his deal, either.

At the moment Dortmund should sell Haaland. 150m is a very large amount of money. Maybe Haaland should be sold, otherwise they can add some experienced players to the team by spending more money. Then they can expect to win the title. Relying on Haaland alone is not possible to win the title.

[AakZaki]

~snip~ They are already willing to pay huge amount of money for him. He is a candidate to become the second most expensive player in history. This situation really resembles City's trying to sign Kane but Tottenham's doing everything they can to keep him.

Achievement and money are closely related. Who has the money he can buy players with the potential to achieve great achievements. Yes, let's see if this happens, maybe chelsea will be the favorites to win the EPL next season. Some clubs often use the excuse of retaining to achieve a predetermined transfer value, so it's natural.

That is really a lot of money. In the end, they will certainly be paid a little less, but they could build something new from that. But if they don't sell him, they still have a great player and with him they can reach the Champignons League....where there is also a lot to earn.

To me, i see the Haaland situation as Dortmund refusing to sell up 2 core squad members in the same summer; it is not about the money involved, or the release clause in Haaland contract. It is about keeping the Dortmund squad competitive ahead of a new season.

On the other hand, the Player himself has shown no signs of wanting to leave, and ofcourse not to London. Dortmund would earn huge bucks from Haaland departure; either this summer or next summer

Yes Haaland is very quiet, but from a money perspective that calculation may not work which was provided before here. If they sell Haaland for 150 million but then miss the Champions League, I guess they haven't won anything. They have merchandise revenue from him, the stadium will be full during the CL and so on and so forth. 75 million difference is a lot of money, but still missing the CL costs a lot of money as well.

The fact that the player does not speak publicly about the possibility of his transfer does not mean anything. Haaland has an agent for this, who is probably working in this direction. The fact that the player, his father and agent remain silent on this issue indicates that the player and the club have a normal relationship and all working issues will be resolved without excessive outrage and exposure to the general public. It is quite difficult to talk about the competitiveness for the new season of a team like Borussia Dortmund, which is happy to sell half of the squad in the off-season and starts creating a new team every time. Because it is unclear with whom and for what the team will compete

It is professional work and can bring benefit for all. Some players make conflicts with clubs they are playing for and break their reputation because of a new club they want to move to.

Those players care about their personal interests rather than any club. When they feel their demand is not satisfied, they will create other drama, conflict and find another club.

I respect Haaland from his performances on field and his response to transfer news from many big clubs. He shows his respect on Dortmund. It seems to be a good and trusted player.

This is the policy of the club, in this topic it has already been repeatedly discussed that the club is aimed at making money, for the owners it is a business, and it is clear that with such a strategy there is no goal of winning the Bundesliga, or European cups. But the club is always doing well with finances, it really helps in the development of new players. There is a similar club in France, this is Monaco, they also sell their rising stars without thinking and educate new ones.

Yes it was a bit of a shock for the schalke fans to see their team in the same situation as last year and with a different squad maybe the problem is that these players have not being playing together and its just a temporary situation or they have the same club problems and we will see the same performance as last year.

The problem they have is that now they lack confidence massively and have enormous self-doubts. If they can't manage to get the situation under control quickly, I bet they are getting into serious trouble even in the second league. Other teams realize Schalke can be beaten and that raises optimism for any opponent Schalke is going to face. Rough times ahead of Schalke.
