Here The New Team...


Bayern, one og the rich club at Europe football - swoop in to make overall changes after 2006-07 disastrous season(just only not make it to the Champions League)... Rummenigge hint last season that the club will be invest more than 100 million dollar to pay their sin to the fans...

Now, the buying is just complete for Ottmar Hiztfield which has 7 new players....

Defender
Buy : Marcell Jansen...
This is good buy, after this Bayern will have group of fullbacks like another big club... Jansen (x B. Mönchengladbach) is star in the making for germany that will share same position with Philip Lahm...


Midfielder
Buy : Hamit Altintop, Ze Roberto, Jan Schaudraff, Jose Sosa & Franck Ribery...
- This new season will be tough for opponent to control midfield, Altintop (key player for Turkey) have strong ability to be like Bayern Legend, Stefan Effenberg...
- Ze Roberto, one of player that win Champions League 2001...
- Sosa, provide creativity of South American style...
- Jan Schlaudraff, more to attacking player who have high-energy level & may be a goal getter...
- & there he come, Franck Ribery, the most popular & big name player that take Bayern Offer rather than any other rich club... He is like Zidane but with speed, tough, skill full & strong enough to beat any great defender around the world like he prove at the World Cup Germany 2006...
- Want more... emmmm... average of bayern player will be 24 @ below... Young Gun will be core of next generation of Bayern Munchen... - Schweinsteiger (22), Lahm (23), Andreas Ottl (22) and Lukas Podolski (22)

Striker
Buy : Luca Toni & Klose...
- Luca Toni form my opinion is much like Batistuta (my fav player of all time), too little things to find different between them... tough physical, strong in the air, etc...
- Klose, prolific striker who always at the right time at the right place... He's header became nightmare to goalkeeper... Has ability to dribble the defender...


Goalkeeper
Buy : No one...
- This is icon, Oliver Kahn, no one can take his place... But, he already said that this new season will be the last... So, Chance for Michael Rensing to shine & show that he is succesor to Oli Kahn... & Don't worry, Germany have so many talented goalkeeper, so Bayern didn't needed to take much concern...

Eric Cantona is most known for his skill on the soccer field. Starring at Old Trafford, Manchester United's homeground, Cantona got the nickname "The King". The controversial striker has been praised as the one who brought back the trophies to one of the world's most famous soccer clubs. Cantona is well-known for being banned from playing soccer for 8 months after kicking a fan during a match. His career at Old Trafford was like a marriage: filled with passion, and turbulent.

And just as shocking as his arrival, was his departure. Out of the blue, Man Utd called for a press conferance during the summer of 1997 announcing Cantona's retirement. He felt it was time to concentrate on acting and painting. The controversial Frenchman is a gifted individual, who always will go his own ways.
