Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Jody.Drummer]

I don't think Bayern Munich is getting stronger but it is their competitors like Borussia Dortmund who are not improving themselves to be able to compete with Bayern Munich. If you look from season to season, actually the squad that Bayern Munich has does not have many significant changes, but they are able to maintain their game. But I don't see that in other Bundesliga teams.

Agree, even though last season Dortmund actually had a chance to win the title, but what can we do, Haaland as a key player often gets injured. Moreover, in the new season Haaland will not play for Dortmund and this makes the Dortmund squad not always get a more solid chemistry, if Dortmund can keep Haaland for at least one more season then it is very likely that Dortmund will win the Bundesliga title. But what happened to Dortmund they kept repeating the same way, the case did not make them stronger because they always had a new main squad with new players.

This season Haaland has played really well, but indeed he hasn't been very good this season in terms of fitness. He's been very injury prone this season which makes it difficult for their form this season.
Their performance was erratic as Haaland's condition did not improve.
Now there is new ammunition to replace Halaand who incidentally Haller is also actually quite good in the Eredivisie but indeed it is still quite difficult for them to compete if there is no motivation there.

I agree that apart from Bayern Munich then I think Dortmund is the second team that always has a chance to win the title in the Bundesliga. Haaland played well last season and he has helped the team by scoring important goals, but he has already had his chance to play in the Premier League for Manchester City and that has forced Dortmund to work hard to find a replacement this season. Luckily they have got the expected players, but I don't think the two are the same.

Even if this new Dortmund player has played well this season, I'm sure Dortmund will also find it difficult to keep him from moving to another team. And this is what makes it difficult for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title because they can't keep their good players every season even though from a business perspective they are champions.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich is not only aiming for the Bundesliga title next season. They want to win the Champions League. Bayern Munich does not have to suffer too much to win the Bundesliga title. However, if you want to play well on a platform like the Champions League, you need a strong squad and a good match strategy. Bayern Munich is now focusing on this aspect.

Yes I think most people also realize that in the Bundesliga there is hardly any competition every season to win the title. Therefore Bayern Munich should see this as an opportunity to focus on the Champions League. Because some other teams, besides they have to compete in the Champions League, they also have a pretty tough competition in the domestic league.

Dortmund are looking for talent, not star players. that's the difference between Dortmund movement with other teams in the transfer market this summer. So it's no wonder Dortmund have been very active in the transfer market this summer as Dortmund just lost their star Erling Haaland this summer. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund is indeed a tight competition for bayern in the race for the title, but at the end of the competition it is always Bayern who won the German league trophy.

It is what Dortmund have been doing for a long time, yeah. They must have enough money to bring the biggest star players in the world for sure but their vision is not that I'm afraid. Erling Haaland was the biggest example for this. They signed him for not a significant amount of money and they did this when not many number of people knew about him. But after that they helped him shine in the Bundesliga and everyone knows about him now. They would continue to keep this vision for a long time.

Even though I really don’t like the policy of Dortmund not aiming for any trophies, I have to agree that a lot of star players have come out of Dortmund and we have been entertained so much by those players. So, I have mixed feelings about Dortmund. I really don’t want to see dark mode just being business and not a club that competes for trophies. But at the same time, I also like the players that Dotmond have given us. But I would like to see Dotmond try to aim for trophies instead of profit from now on.

Bayern München offer €90mil for De Ligt and it appears that Juventus are inclined to accept the offer. Before the window had even started, news all over german media was that "Bayern have no money to spend this transfer window" and they went on to splurge on Mane. Although the news is slightly unreliable but it still seems possible.

[Minor Miner]

Every seasons Bundesliga teams will always be attempts to strengthen their squad by buying new players and the latest teams who very agressive in transfer window is Dortmund that so far they get 8 players and i think this is prove that Dortmund serious want to compete with Bayern Munich for race title but indeed the most problem is while Bayern able to get star players but other teams only able to buy mediocre players this because financial strength for Bayern is very strong so that's why they can get the players they want and if these gap of financial strength cannot be reduced then it is difficult to other teams compete with Bayern

There are other teams in the Bundesliga that would have enough money to make bigger transfers, but then they would have to save money... on stadium expansion, which can mean fewer fans in the stadion over the years. Or in the youthacademy, which means that the young talent is not so strong. The TV funds are high, for example Dortmund 80 million euros, or Leverkusen 75 million euros, RB Leibzig with 73 million euros or Eintracht Frankfurt 67 million euros. You can buy star players with that money, but it would be missing over the years in other projects.

Not to mention Bayern Munich getting free money every season by winning the league title. I say free money because I don’t think there is any really serious competition in the league for Bayern Munich. And that’s why the other clubs find it really difficult to progress and also compete against Bayern Munich. They can only do one thing, either improve the facilities or improve the squad. And it is a very challenging decision to make. And Bayern Munich does not have to worry about improving the squad because they already have a squad that really consists of good players.

They have differences and that's for sure because Haaland and Haller have quite different characteristics but at least this is good enough even though they have differences but I think Haller can be a good substitute there.

As for the problem of competition here as long as Dortmund is serious with players going through the season then this will be good but indeed sometimes there are things that make them always fail because some players are missing during the transfer market.

Although the news is slightly unreliable but it still seems possible.

I have checked Transfermarkt and haven't seen even a rumour related to Bayern Munich interestingly. However some other news sources are still claiming that they are serious about this deal. If they have really offered a huge amount like 90 million euros I think Juventus wouldn't refuse it. Because it has been said like they would be okay for an offer around that amount. I wonder if Chelsea are going to try to interfere with the deal with an offer. By the way there might be an opportunity for Chelsea to sign Upamecano if Bayern sign de Ligt.

[TheGreatPython]

What do you expect? They already bought Haller as a main striker. Do you think they will buy another striker? They bought Adeyemi so they have two new strikers. Besides that they spent more money than they got, so I don't really understand how you follow them. Money come from Haaland already gone to Haller and Adeyemi and they also spent twenty more to buy Schlotterbeck for defense. I'm all in for signing more star players but is club finance up to it? I don't think they will spend more money without selling players.

For me this is happening first time in last few years that Borussia Dortmund is investing more than they have from a transfer, and now they are doing some interesting transfers which are going to help their strength with this all now they are more challenging for Bayern Munich because in last season they were near title race but at the end lost due to some injuries and poor results now we can expect tough race even Bayern is also doing good decisions and bringing few quality players.

Even they are still in their way of having youths in their team and after few years sell them for big amount because they can't stop this all which is helping strongly for their financial strength but now fighting for title is also very impressive.

Sebastien Haller finally wore the Borussia Dortmund jersey. A four-year contract was signed. It's not known to what extent he can fill Erling Haaland's place, but an important transfer fee of 31 million Euro was paid to Ajax so Dortmund expect something big from him.
He was the top scorer in the league with 21 goals last season for Ajax and scored 11 goals in the Champions League. He's a total striker. He will play in a higher level league, on a higher level team.

I think Dortmund filled Haaland very well. Haller has given a great performance this year. He played very well in both UCL and the Eredevisie. He knows the league as he has played in the Bundesliga before. I believe he will be very successful with Borussia Dortmund. While it's tough to replace Haaland, Haller can do it.

I don't know how accurate it is to compare Haller with Haaland. Haaland is one of the most valuable football players in the world right now, at a very young age and very talented. Haller is also a good player, but the time he can play is much more limited, his performance will start to decline in a few years.
Maybe he will play well enough this year, but he can't be a long term investment

It was clear that Dortmund would not be able to keep Haaland in the team. Among his alternatives, perhaps one of the best options was Haller. Of course, Haaland was better than Haller both in terms of age and performance, but he still had a quality season to fill Haaland's place in Ajax.

Bayern Munich are really after de Ligt currently but for now it seems like just an interest. I haven't heard of an official offer yet. Chelsea are in this race also and I see Bayern Munich one step ahead of them. But the opinion of the player is the most important point here of course. de Ligt can be an important part of the team if he stays at Juventus. Because Chiellini has left the team. If he doesn't desire a move out of Italy then Bayern Munich and Chelsea both might be unsuccessful about signing him. Unless they pay the release clause amount of course.  

Bayern Munich has sent some  representatives to Italy to making a bid for de Ligt. Certain that everything will be positive at the end of the day.
The player wants too make the move and the club's are in a good agreement and no disagreement between them. Then, the deal is good to come to conclusion. Bayern building another strong squad with young talent's.

There is no doubt right now De Light is main point of talk in transfer window, but interest from Bayern Munich is surely wired news or may be its tactics for creating hype about this player because we all know Chelsea and Manchester United both are front-runners for this transfer, but Barcelona is not having their desired money, so it's trying to create some competition environment for rising price of this player or may be this tactic is having something related to Robert Lewandowski's transfer.

Right now, pointing out all this just rumors because nothing is sure but in next few days things could be clear, and we will have all better updates about this interest because with current situation no club is interested in this player Barcelona needs to change contracts few points for having to settle this all.

I think he was one of Chelsea's primary targets. They aren't having the best of transfer season as most of their primary targets are getting picked by other teams. Not much ins to improve the Chelsea squad and they've had some top departures. At least they have signed Sterling and will be looking to sign Ake back.

I don't think, Bayern Munich has such amount of money to purchase only one player in this season because their manager has promised the fans that he will give the team massive victory in all the matches in next season. I believe, Bayern Munich will definitely perform well, if their coach can introduce more tactics into the team in this season to prepare them very well ahead of next season competitions. I don't think, Juventus coach will agree to release mane at this moment because they will like to use him to achieve many titles from different competitions before they can release him to any team that willing to afford the money to have him in their team.

I think for money issues for big clubs like Bayern Munich which last season was in the public spotlight because of the superiority of very good players, I am sure that many investors came in to start attracting De Ligt to Bayern. about a transfer of a player as expensive as de ligt spread so quickly that it was heard by some investors for bayern munchen.

[bestcoins1]

No doubt what ever hard competition always Bayern Munich is the winner on Bundesliga and they have bigger chance how keep consistent get trophy every season, I think with completed team and always dominance on every match no doubt keep favorite on the first list with Bayern Munich as close team with Bundesliga trophy next season, looking on transfer activities only Bayern Munich serious how to get star player like Sadio Mane, maybe Dortmund and Leipzig could be team will give fighting for Bayern Munich to get trophy, but looks they always not consistent performance and losing chance before several match ended.

Next season Bayern Munich will also continue to dominate in the Bundesliga with a slightly different appearance because there is already Sadio Mane in the Bayern Munich team who will complete the list of the best players at Bayern Munich. For Dortmund and Leipzig it looks like they have to fight a little harder from now on in terms of getting new players and also have to be more consistent from the start of next season, otherwise Bayern Munich will still be smooth to get the Bundesliga trophy again.

The good financial situation made Bayern Munich not hesitate to buy players at a very large cost. That is one of the advantages if the team has sound finances, so they can freely submit prices directly to the table of the player they are after. Moreover they will be one of the best teams in the Bundesliga, of course it will attract players, because I can say, when a player joins Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga trophy is in their hands.

if an agreement is reached, De Ligt will set a new record as the most expensive defender in the world. if Munich dares to make an offer of that magnitude, of course, they have a lot of money to spend in the transfer market this season.
Munich is a giant German club, it is very feasible if their squad consists of many expensive star players. but an agreement to buy De Ligt has not been reached. maybe Juventus still need De Ligt for this season.

[Distraction]

90 million euros is a really huge sum for de Ligt now. I know that Juventus aren't willing to sell him unless some team go up to these levels to sign him. On the other hand I'm curious how much money Bayern Munich have to spend for transfers this summer at the moment. Maybe they aren't thinking of making many transfers this summer so they aren't refraining from paying this much for de Ligt. It is important for them to bring one centre-back too. Because as I said before they had better have a more reliable defense with one more strong centre-back beside Upamecano.

[Altryist]

That is one of the advantages if the team has sound finances, so they can freely submit prices directly to the table of the player they are after. Moreover they will be one of the best teams in the Bundesliga, of course it will attract players, because I can say, when a player joins Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga trophy is in their hands.

Players come to Bavaria with the goal of winning the Champions League, and the Bundesliga is already like an attached trophy. I have no doubt that de Ligt would like to play in Bayern, as the prospects for Juventus in the new season look very vague. But here the question is whether Bayern will be able to agree on a price with Juventus, since Juventus will value de Ligt at 120 million, but they are ready to make a compromise in order to at least return the money they spent on acquiring it in 2019, this is 80 million. Juventus will want sell him this year or next because his contract ends in 2024 and then they will lose everything.

[KTChampions]

For me, Bayern Munich is more of a team that doesn't spend a lot of money on player transfers and they're doing the right thing with that. But German teams are generally economical with transfers, which I think is a good thing, other leagues should also take this as a role model.

You are naive if you think that everything happens as it is shown officially. Regarding Bavaria, there have long been rumors that it conducts  transactions partly through offshore companies and various murky schemes. I don't see any reason why this can't be true. In the end, everyone "believed" that Neymar bought himself from Barcelona and moved to PSG, so why not believe that Bayern get super players almost for free
