I personally don't rate him but as a last minute Eriksen replacement I'm happy with the loan deal. Hopefully we can get it over the line.

RedCafe is a depressing place at times. Our online fanbase is the worst in the world, up there with Arsenal’s.Are people really actually moaning about us bringing in a loan signing after the Eriksen news?
Sabitzer’s probably one of the better options we could get as well, even though he’s struggled a bit since joining Bayern. If we get the Leipzig version then that will be a very good bit of business.
I’ll be very happy if this goes through. He’s not played much at Bayern because he’s behind world class players like Kimmich & Goretzka!
I fully trust EtH and his signings so far!

Earlier I was trying to think what midfielder I wouldn't take right now given our current situation ... and well, you've cracked it.
He's been underwhelming last season, but early this season he performed very well in Goretzka's absence. That he found himself out of the team again when Goretzka returned was somewhat harsh on him, but it is what it is. He's a good player but in the larger picture we just don't really need him in a prominent role, which has put him in a difficult position from the moment he joined.
Decent little player who always impresses me when I’ve seen him play. Not arsed if this is reactive, we need bodies.
Won't pretend I know anything about the chap but full international, in his prime, European experience, no risk signing(apart from the opportunity cost).
We finally seem to be making some shrewd signings and nice to see our scouting reaching beyond lower PL teams.
I'm fully on board this train.

Weghorst did, but Sabitzer will have to compete with Fred, and it's not that obvious who will be the first choice.
I think so yeah, seems a hard working and talented player, exactly what we need after the Eriksen news.
I’ve seen a lot of people say it’s a panic buy if it happens, but to me even if it clearly reactive after Eriksen was injured, it is good to know a contingency plan was in place. If we get this over the line with minimal fuss and without having to overspend then it should only be seen as a positive.
Piano but only if it's a Wurlitzer
Depends on what's happening up front. No chance we'll even look at Aouar and Tielemans has been shit for ages. He'd be below Fred in the pecking order on form over the last year.
If Sabitzer plays well for us and we can get him cheaply enough that means enough to spend £100m+ on Osimhen then yeah.
Absolutely fecking bang on
wonder if Erik knew him in his Bayern days.
Should have stopped there.
Erik's Bayern days precede Sabitzer's by about 5 years so no.
No I don't think we'd be happy with that. Aouar/Tielmans are at best backup quality. Sabitzer could be a 50/50 signing where he doesn't hurt us but doesn't help us enough. And Fred I think only got extended for 1 more year so there's no guarantee we don't sell him this summer if we don't extend him. You'd want someone to displace Eriksen in the starting lineup and there's no one on that list that you'd say is definitely better than him.
Given he’s been at Bayern for 18 months it’s safe to say he didn’t
I don't think it's fair to hold not starting ahead of Goretzka against him. Who would?
Thanks. Good to know this from someone who watches him regularly.
Would be a fantastic bit of business on a loan. Capable of filling in for Eriksen and also Casemiro whenever he needs a rest as well.
Oh wow. That's basically his season over. Who knows. If Sabitzer plays well, might be an opportunity to bring him in on a permanent deal.
Thanks

Absolutely, and shows that some people at the club do actually know what they are doing. Nobody ITK was mentioning Sabitzer or Weghorst. But Ten Hag knows what he wants and who can fill these positions. He is very detailed in playing people in their best positions. And on which side of the pitch. For instance, he doesn't like playing Maguire as left center back, because he is right footed. Despite Maguire playing as left center back for most of his career.
He will have a plan for Sabitzer and I'm confident that he will do well for us.
I agree. The amount of moaning over what seem to be fairly sensible transfers is odd. This place isn't as bad as Arsenal Mania. Or Arsenal Twitter. #EduOut is currently trending.
To be fair I’ve been reading that Kimmich isn’t a much of a 6 for you and how it bites you in the ass in the big games.
People pretending Bayerns midfield is this elite machine is about 2 years out of date
Do you rate Sabitzer?
even if he’s average he’s better than eriksen with 1 leg.
AT LEAST be happy the club are trying something and not just leaving ETH a player down.

I saw that! Why is that trending?
Push or pull factor?
Yes, this is what I'm happiest about, the fact he's actually pretty good is a bonus at this stage.
But its a loan! A loan Adam, a loan!
beggars can't be choosers right now given the unexpected news that eriksen is out....we have to bring in an experienced quality CM
bayern said no to Gravenburch and Sabitzer they said yes....it's a loan and very smart move

The comments in the thread are about 99% positive. This narrative is a bit odd at times.
Didi Hamann has written him off. Never mind lads
Just found out he's 5"8.
Do. Not. Want.
