By their standards Bayern Munich had a bad season.
It culminated in April when they were gubbed by (the eventual winners) Barcelona in the Champions League and California Klinsmann was dismissed soon after. They brought in Jupp Heynckes as a caretaker manager and there was a bit of a fight back but it wasn’t enough. They eventually finished as runners up in the Bundesliga.
Bayern have signalled their intention to be back next season better and stronger with the appointment of Louis van Gaal – who just won the Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar – as their new coach. But the next question will be who will be playing under him ?
The summer transfer window opens on July 1st but the speculation began long before as to where a couple of best chums will be at the end of August:
The word is with Luca Toni (who has just turned 32) will be transferred over to the retirement home… that all depends on who Silvio Bertusconi finds to be his next puppet….
The BIG speculation though is about the picturesque Franck Ribery, with Uli Hoeness, the Bayern Munich General Manager putting a €100m price on his head.
He may value the rugged Ribéry at that much, but the man himself will dictate where he wants to be next season (he’s got previous when he decided to walk out on Galatasaray to play for Marseille) – and amongst the choices for his next destination is (maybe) ManUSA*, Real Madrid* or Chelski.
* This all of course depends on where C-Ron wants to flout next season.
– on the music side some people have sung about fancy boy Franck:

But the better one is about Luca Toni, which has a video with the man himself starring in it.
