Ribery will be better next year, though; they’re going to squeeze three windows into one and sort it out later.

He’ll be back before the window is open he’s just got tendinitis, and since when does someone being seriously injured stop a team from spending boatloads of money on a player? Oh that’s just us that did that? Fuck.

@JT: It didn’t stop Rafa, so it won’t stop Roman.

Err… Ribery is seriously injured right now?

I’m not sure, Bayern are pretty much going to miss the CL knockouts and aren’t allowed to carry debt, they might end up needing cash. Plus they have been woefully underperforming the last three years, they may see fit to blow up part of the team.

Good call on the Villa/Silva combo, Georger. I can see that. I think they’d have as much trouble trying to by Ribery as they’d have trying to buy Diego, though.

I seriously doubt cup ties mean anything to them. They’re still going to have some sort of ban, probably get reduced just like Roma’s did. They can’t afford to assume they’ll be able to buy players in the summer. They’ll make runs at Aguero and Ribery, if not the Valencia boys.

And Aguero is CL cup tied. Although that shouldn’t stop Roman from splashing 30mil about

I really hope Aguero doesn’t go there. I like him at the moment, and a transfer there would have to end that.

Except they just bought him. I doubt they would sell him without having a full season.
