Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[YuginKadoya]

-SNIP-

If Dortmund's goal was to win the Bundesliga, I think they could have done it. A number of talented players have emerged from the Dortmund club in the last few seasons. And Dortmund sold these players at a high price. Had they not sold these players they could have dominated the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich challenge for the Bundesliga title. The team would have been able to play well even in the Champions League. However, the Dortmund management probably has no desire to win the title. Like the previous seasons, Bayern Munich is the most likely to win the Bundesliga this season.

I agree, for sure Dortmund's real intention was not to win but to profit I really don't think that their main goal  was for their outstanding players to be sold at a high price, as you can see Dortmund got some great trainers that could surely train new players to be their very best inside the field, Dortmund is pretty much well known in doing such thing, so this is not the 1st time they have done it,

Yes, considering its economic potential and the way it goes shopping during each transfer window, Dortmund is the opposite of other clubs. Since Dortmund has to make money through transfers, They can sell any of the club's stars as long as they get a high price. Dortmund is forced to sell Bellingham like they sold Haaland or Dembele. After that, Moukoko and Duranville will step up to take on important roles in the team. But the story will always be just such a circle. They only focus on investing in young players with potential or cheap but good players from free transfers. Buying low and selling high is always the way this club does business.

The economic standpoint of Dortmund is pretty much great for them in doing such things they really get players at a small price and then sell them when they tend to be a great deal in the future buying playing with a small amount is something the Bundesliga is doing for sure the Dortmund have a great trader in the midst of doing such things,

it makes sense if Tuchel tries to replace his goalkeeper with another more experienced player like De Gea but to be honest I actually dont see a big problem with Sven Ulreich as far as guarding Bayern Munich goal, hes not that careful, he just sometimes experiences carelessness and this is normal because all players will experiencing the same thing.

from several cases, I think a little that the reason Tuchel did not glance at De Gea seems to be because Tuchel thought that De Gea would not renew his contract at Man United because his performance had declined, so Tuchel doubted this and chose Sven Ulreich as his mainstay goalkeeper.

Maybe because De Gea's age is no longer young, it is also an influence that Tuchel doesn't want him.
But actually, in my opinion, Bayern currently really needs a goalkeeper who has good qualities, indeed so far Sven Ulreich's performance has not had any problems, but if it is in a big match on the European stage, I hope that Sven Ulreich will be able to show his best performance, after all, Sven Ulreich is also very old, he is now 35 years old and therefore in my opinion Baern really need to pay attention to the goalkeeper position in their team.
And Manuel Neuer, who suffered an injury, is already old, so if he recovers later it is not certain that Manuel Neuer will be able to return to his top performance, Manuel Neuer is now 37 years old.

Even though De Gea is no longer young, his experience as one of the best goalkeepers is certainly convincing enough. It's just that for some reason Bayern Munich or Tuchel are not interested in him, even though now he is a free agent and whenever they want they can bring in De Gea.

Sven Ulreich's performance is far from what Bayern Munich currently needs and if Bayern Munich still hopes for a recovery from Neuer's injury, of course they will just be wasting their time. But there is one thing that makes me wonder, why did Bayern Munich sell Yann Sommer last summer if in the end they didn't get a goalkeeper worthy of all the competitions this season?

It would be a lie if Bayern Munich didn't have high expectations for Neuer, in fact they want to wait for this veteran goalkeeper to recover quickly and be able to strengthen Bayern Munich again. We know very well that Neuer is very old and as a goalkeeper he will be getting closer to retirement. If Bayern Munich still depends on Neuer, how long will they delay regenerating players in the future?
If Bayern Munich plans to sell Yann Sommer, they must also be ready to get a goalkeeper who is quite equal and De Gea is the answer. But they never did that.

The competition they so idealize is not the same as it was a few seasons ago and Bayern Munich must realize that. Moreover, now new challengers have emerged at the top of the standings such as Leverkusen and Stuttgart which are not even predictable at all, and it is possible that these two teams could become obstacles for Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga.
I didn't find it logical for them to sell Sommer either. The goalkeeper they are looking for must be at Bayern's standards. I think De Gea has these characteristics to a great extent. He can easily save Bayern for at least 2 years. They can easily play goalkeeper until the age of 38-39. I don't think expectations from Neuer's performance should be high.

Are you aware, even though Dortmund always sells talented players, but in reality Dortmund is still capable and/or successful in becoming a team that can compete well in the title race every season. In fact, last season Dortmund almost won the Bundesliga title, but Dortmund again and again had bad luck in the last match of last season. So yes, even though Dortmund prioritizes business and profits, but the reality is that Dortmund still has very good management to remain a title-challenging team every season and that is of course great I guess.

Their business strategy allows all players to be highly motivated, as each of them understands that he has the prospect of becoming a player of  european teams. Thanks to this, Dortmund is constantly under the close supervision of the selectors of different teams and in this scheme everyone benefits, the team gets motivated players and good results, and the players get their dreams realized. Dortmund also work very hard to find or develop such players, they are very good at it.

Yes, with their habit of always selling their star players, they can still provide competition. They can still maintain their level, it's just that they don't improve their level to be even better. Comfort zone, I think that's what they don't want to leave, and I don't think that's a good thing for a team like them which we know that they are one of the big teams in this Bundeliga.
If they want a title, they can actually achieve it, it's just how strong their desire is. I mean it doesn't make sense when they want a title, but they always sell valuable players in the squad.

There is nothing wrong with doing business in the football industry and that is what they do to make a profit. If the business is run like the one run by the owner of Dortmund, they will never achieve the club's achievements. The reason is that they only focus on selling players and never try to buy quality players at high prices. A trophy is a big hope for any club, but if the club does not have a supporting force of quality players then it will be difficult for them to achieve it.

Obviously, These Football clubs are not just there for entertainment sake but are also for their business dealings and I do believe this is why Dortmund sold this incredible player at some point,  fast forward back to when Arsene Wenger was in Arsenal as the head coach, this was a kind of business Arsenal football club was into, grooming of players and selling them when they are at their best to raise money for the club.

So yes, even though Dortmund prioritizes business and profits, but the reality is that Dortmund still has very good management to remain a title-challenging team every season and that is of course great I guess.

The scouting team has become the main party who needs to be applaused here. it's not terzic who is not even helping the club to play even better. I hope that dortmund would be getting someone like jurgen klopp that can being dortmund to the its golden era again. Dortmund was not selling all of its talented players, but the club was doing it due to the financial stability that is needed by the club. People are not even aware about how much club's expenses.

Dortmund needs to keep its financial to be stable by selling more players to the another club. The fact that dortmund can still stay at the top 10. It must be blamed if dortmund played so badly like schalke after sold its players.

I didn't find it logical for them to sell Sommer either. The goalkeeper they are looking for must be at Bayern's standards. I think De Gea has these characteristics to a great extent. He can easily save Bayern for at least 2 years. They can easily play goalkeeper until the age of 38-39. I don't think expectations from Neuer's performance should be high.

If you look at the experience that De Gea already has, it is still quite feasible for a team as big as Bayern Munich to attract him into their squad. Because De Gea is not that old, it is still possible for him to be trusted again as the best goalkeeper in a team that has good dominance in the Bundesliga. And if Sommer can still make a good contribution to Bayern Munich, he doesn't need to be sold either, but for now I think it is also difficult for Bayern Munich to make a choice on this matter.

True and in my opinion this is quite impressive which is where even though they are famous for their habit of selling good players that they have managed to form but even so we can see now Dortmund has proven to be able to crawl up to enter the title competition in the top five standings. Honestly, this Bundesliga season in my opinion is very different from the previous season, where the competition is now very tight, we can see how Leverkusen plays, they are very strong and can always dominate the top of the standings even though yesterday they fell but it doesn't matter and it is proven that now they are able to dominate the top five with the first rank, Bayern Muchen really recognizes that this season is very tight in competition, Tuchel must really pay attention to every step, if they are careless then it is very possible that their dominance as defending champions will be easily broken by other clubs, especially Leverkusen.

Yes it makes sense, if indeed Dortmund want the trophy then I agree with you, they can easily achieve it, after all they have a lot of great players, but well the habit of business is indeed difficult to get rid of and we must admit that there is a huge advantage there with habits like that, so maybe that's the reason why Dortmund don't really maximize their goals in the trophy hunt.

Selling their players for financial benefit has been the club's tradition for years now, well I think they're benefiting alot from it cause it's not affecting their performance very much and they'll always look for a way to secure the top 4 and participate in the Champions League competition, well while Dortmund decided to sell their good players for cash and miss chances of claiming dominance from Bayern Munich, other teams like Leverkusen are improving their team and have become one of the strongest so far and have been dominating the league for weeks even gave Bayern Munich a tough challenge and drew against them.

 Well to get the league from Bayern Munich I think the 1st step Dortmund should do is stop selling their players for financial benefits and since they're good at recruiting good and talented youngsters to make them stronger and have a better challenge like they did last season, if not if they keep carrying out their normal tradition every season then I don't think they'll be ready to win the Bundesliga title.

I mean, if De Gea is so that great, many teams should be interested to sign him after Manchester United not want to extend his contract, isn't? but the reality there's no big team is seriously want to sign him, Bayern Munich is a big team and they're need to find a good goalkeeper.

I think it's because of De Gea want a high salary and no team can afford it except Saudi Arabian teams.

[Litzki1990]

I didn't find it logical for them to sell Sommer either. The goalkeeper they are looking for must be at Bayern's standards. I think De Gea has these characteristics to a great extent. He can easily save Bayern for at least 2 years. They can easily play goalkeeper until the age of 38-39. I don't think expectations from Neuer's performance should be high.

Experience won't always work for you. If experience was always valued then players like Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos would not be sitting on the bench at Real Madrid. 

De Gea has been Manchester United's goalkeeper for a long time so we have no doubt that he is a manager with plenty of experience but it remains to be seen how well Bayern Munich will get from him. 

In the last season for Manchester United, we saw that he did not perform as expected, that's why Manchester United was forced to end the relationship with him this season. 

As Bayan Munich needs a quality goalkeeper, De Gea may be ahead in terms of experience but may fall short in terms of performance.

I think it has to do with his age, because now many big clubs are looking at younger players, and when they have a goalkeeper who is senior enough it is a goalkeeper who has been at the club for a long time. David d Gea is not that great, but his ability is still reliable. Manchester United did something hasty, so they did not extend his contract. The fact is that now they have a goalkeper who has no better performance than David d Gea.

I think it's because of De Gea want a high salary and no team can afford it except Saudi Arabian teams.

I also feel strange about De Gea, because about De Gea last season at Manchester United last season, in fact De Gea managed to become the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. So, with his status as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League last season, at least this achievement should make De Gea easy to be brought in by other big teams . After all, bringing De Gea at this moment also can be obtained for free too, unless De Gea demands a large salary. Because anyway, in the last transfer window it also seemed like Bayern Munich were not interested in bringing in De Gea so yes, I personally don't believe Bayern Munich will bring in De Gea in the next transfer windows. Despite the fact, Bayern Munich defense so far this season is also not very good and Bayern Munich should bring in a new goalkeeper who certainly also has good quality.

[bbigtart]

Dortmund doesn't really want to win a title either in the Bundesliga or in the Champions League because Dortmund's goal is only to train its talented players so they can sell at high prices to elite European clubs. If Dortmund wants to win the title, it might happen because Dortmund has talented players in it, so if they are able to compete strongly and pursue their ambition to win the title, Dortmund will definitely be Bayern Munich's strongest rival.
Unfortunately, Dortmund only thinks about business without thinking about the careers of its players so they can win trophies, that's why many Dortmund players don't want to stay at Dortmund for long because Every player definitely wants the title of champion at the club he plays.

BVB could actually be Bayern's arch rival for years, just like Real Madrid-Barcelona in La Liga.

However, unfortunately this philosophy is not like the top teams which keep their best players in the elite Bundesliga teams. Many talented players have moved to other teams, perhaps this is all due to business reasons, apart from stabilizing the club's finances. But in my opinion, as long as BVB cannot retain talented young players for the team's future, it will be difficult to become Bundesliga champions, let alone winning the UCL league, it will not be possible.

The fact is that now they have a goalkeper who has no better performance than David d Gea.

Manchester United made a hugh mistake when they allow their first choice, David de Gea to exits Old Trafford this summer after failing to meet his demands simply because they had their sights on Inter Milan goalkeeper, André Onana who was at his peak but alot of things have changed since United signed him, he haven't performed to the expected assumptions of the fans. Meanwhile David de Gea is currently a free agent this season with no club. He's keen on making an impact move to an elite team because he's a top goalkeeper that has the presence of other top competitors, moving to an average team will only see him beckoned to mediocre level which he will totally refrained.

[Blitzboy]

Sven Ulreich performance not really quit well with Bayern Munich in this season, have played 9 matches all competition between Bundesliga and UEFA Champion League have conceded 10 goals with 6 goals in domestic league and 4 goals in Champion League. Seems very poor performance and Bayern Munich not try to sign new goals keeper to be competitor for Sven Ulreich. Have rumor to sign David De Gea but Bayern Munich not reach agreement deal actually De Gea have impressive performance with Manchester United and become free agent make Munich doesn't have spent money for transfer fees. Looking on Sven Ulreich performance, its not late for Bayern Munich sign new goal keeper waiting with Manuel Neuer from injury, still have many matches left and David De Gea as free agent can sign anytime without waiting with transfer window opening and already playing for Bayern Munich.

Naturally, I think it's not a loss to be a free transfer. But it seems Tuchel is not thinking about this. Even though Nuer is a good goalkeeper. But he's recovering and not necessarily playing well. This is because he has been 37 years old and it is not young anymore. De Gea is still 32 years old. It's still quite a while that he will have a career. Goalkeepers don't need much physical strength to run.

it makes sense if Tuchel tries to replace his goalkeeper with another more experienced player like De Gea but to be honest I actually dont see a big problem with Sven Ulreich as far as guarding Bayern Munich goal, hes not that careful, he just sometimes experiences carelessness and this is normal because all players will experiencing the same thing.

from several cases, I think a little that the reason Tuchel did not glance at De Gea seems to be because Tuchel thought that De Gea would not renew his contract at Man United because his performance had declined, so Tuchel doubted this and chose Sven Ulreich as his mainstay goalkeeper.

I cant help but wonder: is age the real barrier here? Ulreich at 35 and Neuer at 37 - arent we essentially discussing the same age bracket? Its hilarious when you think about it! I've been thinking, what if Tuchel's decision was less about age and more about financial aspects or the compatibility of playing styles? If De Gea did indeed ask for a sky-high salary, it's no wonder Bayern might've backed off. Tuchel probably has a vision for his squad, and if De Gea doesnt fit into that, so be it. But, Im just hypothesizing here. Who knows the real goings-on behind those closed club doors?

They could be but they fail to retain players and ultimately end up selling players to other clubs which is why I feel that they haven't been achieve a title for so long. They have very good environment of developing players but I feel that with lack of experienced players they always fell short. I feel that they should need to try to convince players to stay with a bit lucrative contract extensions so that they can try and have a good shot at a title for once. Another thing they can do is start getting a big release clause on contracts of some young potential players like Barcelona has been doing lately in order to secure players.

[KTChampions]

There is an opinion that the “high” level that Onana demonstrated in Milan was due to the defense of Milan, and not to Onana himself. Today I watched a video where there were all his saves and all the goals that he missed, what can I say, it all looks very sad - he misses every third shot on target. And here there can be no comparison with “the young De Gea who came to United and also made mistakes,” if I remember correctly De Gea ended up at United at the age of 20, and Onana came at 27 as a professional in his prime. But so far I don’t see that he is good.

Actually, looking at the current conditions, this discussion is always repeated but in the end it always comes to the same conclusion where when Dortmund sells their players, it is indeed their way of financial gain.
This has always been the absolute reason, they want to win but in the end they don't like to take risks and prefer the path where they will only use the players for their financial benefits because indeed in several seasons it seems to hint that their target is not the trophy but the financial balance of the club.

[Distraction]

I think Bayern Munich's only weakness right now is their goalkeeper. I don't want to belittle Ulreich's effort so far though. He hasn't conceded a lot of goals in the Bundesliga. I can't say it when it comes to the Champions League but for now things are good. But I still don't believe in him much for the rest of the season.

He has always been a backup goalkeeper for Neuer so far. Now Neuer is literally finished and Ulreich has taken the shirt from him.

Instead of Ulreich I would really love to see some experienced solid goalkeeper. I really hoped to see David de Gea playing for them.

David De Gea would make a very good goalie for Bayern Munich,  and since Neuer would be out for quite a long time he would make a very good replacement for him, I'm even wondering why no club is going after him currently not even the Saudi Pro League, even after the good performance he displayed last season at Manchester United, during the previous transfer window I felt either Bayern or Realmadrid would get him, Realmadrid especially but rather both teams decided to go for options that De Gea is more better than.

 However Ulreich is not a very bad goalie, he might be the weak spot for Bayern Munich but that would be without a good defense line, but since their defense line is solid this season I think Bayern Munich doesn't have anything to worry about until Neuer returns from injury, well it would be beneficial to Ulreich because the more the participate in a match the more his confidence level gets better.

Are you aware, even though Dortmund always sells talented players, but in reality Dortmund is still capable and/or successful in becoming a team that can compete well in the title race every season. In fact, last season Dortmund almost won the Bundesliga title, but Dortmund again and again had bad luck in the last match of last season. So yes, even though Dortmund prioritizes business and profits, but the reality is that Dortmund still has very good management to remain a title-challenging team every season and that is of course great I guess.

Their business strategy allows all players to be highly motivated, as each of them understands that he has the prospect of becoming a player of  european teams. Thanks to this, Dortmund is constantly under the close supervision of the selectors of different teams and in this scheme everyone benefits, the team gets motivated players and good results, and the players get their dreams realized. Dortmund also work very hard to find or develop such players, they are very good at it.

Yes, with their habit of always selling their star players, they can still provide competition. They can still maintain their level, it's just that they don't improve their level to be even better. Comfort zone, I think that's what they don't want to leave, and I don't think that's a good thing for a team like them which we know that they are one of the big teams in this Bundeliga.
If they want a title, they can actually achieve it, it's just how strong their desire is. I mean it doesn't make sense when they want a title, but they always sell valuable players in the squad.

I am not sure if they can though, every year they play a bit good with their new star doing something, but at the end of the day we are talking about them not having any stars left eventually, who knows maybe this year is that year and we may not see someone like that, and things could change.

I mean looking at their roster I could easily say that they do not have a player they can sell for 100 million or there about this season, and that means they do not have one of those players and the situation seems dire for them. Not only they will fail at the league, they will not make any money out of it neither this season. That is not a sustainable strategy and they should have gone for the title whenever they can, last season was a big unlucky ending. They need to end up playing better but also get better players and spend a lot more money and should try to avoid situation as much as they possibly could, that would be the best important thing about it.
