Will Kompany Come For Any Of Our Squad?

Post by Anonymous Claret » Wed May 22, 2024 11:21 pm

I can't see it as I don't think any of our players are good enough by a long stretch for Bayern?

Berge could possibly be a squad player?

Koleosho/Odobert for their potential?

Trafford understudy to Neuer and for development purposes also?

As initially stated i don't think any of these players are good enough for Bayern's squad but maybe VK thinks differently.

Added to that, would any player want to go knowing that they would probably have very little game time if any at all?

I can't see it. A bunch of players not good enough to play his style in the prem aren't going to be fighting for the BL title and playing champions league football. Maybe some for their potential though as you say.

Having said that, VK is going to Bayern after one of the worst performances in the PL I can think of. Guess anything's possible

Whoever he comes for, we need to charge £100m. Unless he has inserted a clause in the players contracts that says he gets first dibs on our squad if he ever leaves :lol:

Odobert the only one with a ceiling high enough to play for a top club in my opinion. Kompany thinks incredibly highly of him.

Don’t worry.

This’ll be the first time in history that a departing manager doesn’t have a clause inserted whereby he can’t return for existing players.

I’m not sure that’s necessarily true. Bayer Leverkusen have just gone 51 games unbeaten and finished above Bayern with a squad of players who a lot of players most of us wouldn’t have heard of before this season.

I don’t expect them to come knocking for Josh Brownhill, but it’s not unrealistic to think that Kompany might recommend a couple of our younger players (Esteve, Odobert etc). Bayern can spend £10m on a player and put him with the development sides for a season. That’s how big they are.

But surely there is a £100m player in the squad somewhere???

Could easily see him coming for Trafford because he must think he is the next big thing, the England camp seem to agree, could easily go for £20m. One or two of the younger players also a possibility. A reasonable chance we get up to £50m in sales.

Financially, the club could be sorted after relegation with this. If he went to a Forest we could have lost half our squad for peanuts, whereas now we may get the few sales needed for good prices and a strong squad left to kick on under a new manager with the biggest budget in the league.

There is also the flip side, which players will we get from Bayern (including loans)? That depends on the manner of the parting (I would hope for shocked but friendly), and may be a reason for us to stick with MUD Analytics so VK still has a stake in our club. Having an ‘in’ at one of the world’s great clubs has to be an advantage, we have nothing to gain from burning our bridges.

I think only Odobert and Koleosho would possibly be taken, and that’s not meaning they will go straight into their team.

The new boss would probably drive him to Belgium personally if he thought he could get any sort of return on the money we had to stump up for him. MUD analytics probably trousered a decent wedge from the transfer also.
It all stinks to be quite honest. I just hope Pace is capable of sorting out this mess.

None of our players are close to being good enough, but I suppose if they think the manager is they might be misguided enough to come for some of the players too.

Can't deny him the move, or his ambition, but so many could not see through his shite and post match bullshit to deflect his shortcomings over the last 9 months. He got an easy ride from the media, fans and the Board.Many clubs would have sacked him at Christmas. I know its painful, but knowing what we know now its the best thing that could have happened.I give him until December in his new job. Lets hope Jackson & Bellamy go too, if not lets hope the new manager rejects them

If that's supposed to be a joke, you need a new script writer.

There are some things you can say to your mate as part of 'silly lads' banter, but you shouldn't be writing that on this messageboard.

A good season in the championship would probably do his transfer fee a lot more good than where it’s at now. He was hardly given much of a chance in his preferred position.

Well seeing as Tuchel said he wasn't happy with not getting much say in the transfers at Bayern, I think it's unlikely Kompany will be back in for any of our player's.
