Manuel Neuer

Why do Bayern fans not want him? Just because of where he's coming from?

I asked this earlier in the thread. He took the piss out of their fans by mimicking the actions of Kahn in a previous fixture between the two, after they scored.
 
A quick calculation...

Bosnich - Bosman (but received something like a £2m sign-on fee)
Taibi - £4.5m
Barthez - £7.8m
Carroll - £2.5m
Lopez - £1.5m
Howard - £2.3m (plus add-ons up to £1.2m)
Total: £18.6m (not counting Bosnich's signing fee and Howard's add-ons, nor Luke Steele at £500k plus add-ons up to £2m (I think))

We also paid £1m for Ben Foster before Edwin had played a game for us if you want to add that in.
 
Ah. You'd think they'd get over it for a signing of his quality but I guess it's easy to say without it being your club.

Could be a strange situation this - Bayern could end up without Neuer, and they could also end up losing Thomas Kraft who is a very talented 23 y.o goalkeeper - simply because he wont renew his contract until he knows they wont sign Neuer. And if Neuer delays his decision - chances are he will leave anyway.

And then Bayern are left without perhaps the 2 most talented goalkeepers in Bundesliga instead of having both
 
Maybe that's Neuers intention, to screw Bayern over by making them lose Kraft.

He'll sign for us at the last minute and issue a press release just saying 'FAO Bayern Munchen - lulz'.
 
So if Bayern fans are successful in what they are trying to do and we are not interested either, he could make a u-turn and stay at Schalke after all?
 
Bayern fans on this forum seem to be very Pro-Neuer. Perhaps it's just a minority that doesn't want him to sign for them.
 
I realize that, but we signed him before Edwin played a game for United and before we knew he'd be be 'the one to replace Schmeichel'.

It is, I have seen many Bayern fans looking forward to getting him. And even those who are sceptial will make a U-turn. It's always the same with Bayern fans - first they moan, but as soon as Neuer makes the first super save in their goal, even the biggest critics will change their opinions. They are fickle and as Jaap already said, there's a reason why they are called the schickeria. Give them nice players and an expensive sandwich and they will be happy.

Aye. The club isn't nicknamed FC Holywood for nothing.
 
I still think that if Bayern do not not make it into the CL, it will be an issue for him. It may also be an issue for Bayern. Would they be willing to pay what will surely be the best part of €30m on a goalkeeper during a season where they'll be without CL revenue.

Their biggest rival for third position and that final CL spot are Hanover and they play a Borussia Monchengladbach side tomorrow who have struggled all season and are virtually all but relegated, aside from the slim chance of over taking Frankfurt on goal difference.

“Manuel is not interested in joining Manchester United. He is not interesting in leaving Germany. He will stay in Germany. That is definite,” Neuer’s agent Thomas Kroth told M.E.N. Sport.
..
“I don’t think anything could change his mind,” added Kroth. It leaves United having to step up their chase for the two other leading candidates on their radar, David de Gea at Atletico Madrid and Maarten Stekelenburg at Ajax.

Quotes from his agent but why he'd only speak to MEN and this not appear anywhere else raises my doubts.

My thoughts on the situation fwiw: I think Neuer has decided to move to Bayern providing Schalke are compesated properly. Its as complete as it can be but I do think his mind can be changed. Things like playing in Manchester, United tabling a bid and Bayern not qualifying for a CL spot. Its a very very very slim margin for us however there is still a small chance.
 
If we are to go after Neuer I hope we don't miss out on De Gea in the process. Up until last week it seemed De Gea was all but done but now I'm not sure if SAF won't try to bid for Neuer. Worst case scenario for me is we miss out on De Gea & Neuer, ending up with someone we never really wanted.
 
I imagine he spoke to the MEN because the MEN rang him up asking if a nice reception from Old Trafford would change Neuer's mind.

All the evidence I've seen suggests pretty convincingly that we are not going to sign him.
 
Hannover lost to Monchengladbach today so it looks like Bayern will make it into CL eventually.
 
Conceded three in the first 19 minutes at Munich, the third after going off his line and being caught in no man's land.

He is human, it would seem.

NUmber of reason I would suggest, not even seen the game however things like Schalkes unbelievably bad match in the CL might lead to a bit of a hangover, he might be a tad nervous playing in front of his new fans, Schalke's defense played like tuesday, Bayern are fired up because hannover lost at home allowing them to gain ground on the CL spot.

again no excuses but not surprised that Schalke are losing, just maybe down that much that quickly.
 
feck this guy! Lets go after De Gea. At least he interested to come to United. Neuer is a homesick pussy.

Well, De Gea deal isn't straightforward either. The offers basically there on the table but he hasn't decided whether he wants to leave Spain yet. His agent was pushing the deal... Third choice is Stek.
 
:lol: are you angry over the gomes blunder there RDCR07?

Yeah kinda. But this guy seriously pisses me off too. I hope he sucks at Bayern and let him rot there. He should never come to United if he does not come this summer.

Third choice should be either Adler or Lloris.
 
I reallydon't want a player who doesn't want to come here, whatever the reason is.

He would demand a move back to Germany if he feels home-sick.

Manuel Neuer confirmed again today that he wants to change clubs within Germany.
 
That rules this out completely then. Fair enough if he wants to stay in Germany. Bayern are a giant of a club, who need a keeper and have the possibility of acquiring the German number 1. Absolute no brainer. VDS reckons the replacement is already lined up anyway so we've clearly done our research.
