    Bayern Munich have signed Juan Bernat and Sebastian Rode, with both deals gone a little under the radar seemingly.

    Bernat is a 21 left-back bought for around €10m from Valencia. The defender made over 50 appearances for Los Che, establishing himself in the first team last season and has been handed the number 18 by Bayern. Will he be just cover/competition for Alaba or is there a view of placing him at left-back and pushing Alaba further up into a midfield role?

    Rode is a 23 year old defensive midfielder. On 14 April 2014, Rode signed a pre-contract with Bayern Munich to join them on 1 July 2014 at the end of his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt. He made his debut against Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup.

    Why are people posting old news?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Aenaes


    Bernat and Rode weren't mentioned in this thread yet.

    They're still old news. May have went under the radar to you but not to many on here.

    Yeah people should stick to debating how much was spent on players and whether they are worth that rather than posting transfers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Aenaes


    Right. My psychic abilities don't seem quite as strong as yours so I wasn't sure how many people had known about it. I had not seen it reported anywhere until I stumbled across an article about it.

    But hey, screw me for posting transfer news that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

    I'd rather read old news than pages and pages about Di Maria without actually furthering the news of the transfer in the slightest.

    Leicester have apparently agreed a fee with Wigan for James McArthur.

    burnley have had a few bids for him refused. They really seem to be struggling to make any signings that will improve last years first eleven.

    That might actually be a good move for him . The slower pace of serie a might be what he needs now .

    Defenders could chew him up over there. He would be better off moving back home to Spain, or dropping down a level. He really isn't premiership standard anymore. Sad really, in the words of good ole JR, he was "phenom" back in his day, power, skill, pace, had it all

    Ah come out of that, not Premiership standard, what sort of nonsense

    Reports in Germany coming out that Bayern are very close in signing Xavi Alonso from Real for around 10 mil. Euro.

    If Alonso is settling in footballer terms, Mila Kunis is settling in women terms.

    It's bigger goals he needs.. much bigger.

    Apparently Zaha to Palace has been confirmed, but I can't find a link to back this up.

    Loan apparently.

    He has really stalled in the last year or so. I think he should have stayed a bit longer before heading to United

    Did he get much of a chance though? He obviously mustn't have impressed in training.

    Should have been loaned back to palace straight away imo and gotten PL experience if he wasn't in the manager's plans.

    Got **** all chances but your correct in saying he was poor in training.
    Remember it being mentioned a couple of times last season.

    I think he wasn't in DM's plans but not sure about LVG.
