Mario Gomez
- Thread starter enghuei
- Start date
That would be an impressive side.
£26M eh? Possible Ribery sell to finance this deal?
Bayern are rich, they don't need to sell. Besides, they would sell Toni before with Milan being keen on him.
Makes sense.. With Arsene and Adebayor both recently stating that he will not be leaving...
He hasn´t scored for Germany in his last 15 games and had another terrible game today against China I have heard.
Bloody hell. 26 million!
Mario Gomez gave Bayern Munich supporters a glimpse of what they can expect next season as he hit four in Germany's 7-2 rout of United Arab Emirates.
Germany were far too powerful for their hosts in Dubai as Gomez, on his way to Bayern from Stuttgart, proved unplayable for much of the game.
UAE held out for the opening half an hour but once Heiko Westermann broke the deadlock the floodgates soon opened.
A Gomez brace before half-time sandwiched an effort from Piotr Trochowski that put Germany four up at the break.
Gomez needed just three minutes after the interval to grab his third, before Salim Masoud's own goal exacerbated UAE's woes.
Strikes from Ismail Al-Hammadi and Nawaf Mubarak gave something for the home crowd to cheer, before Gomez's fourth goal of the night in the final minute sealed what was a fine individual performance.

Those are 3 of the easiet goals he will ever score. Granted though that last one was a pretty tight angle and neat finish.
He's a good player and will only get better at Bayern.
Speaking of goalkeepers, I thought Rensing was extremely highyl rated by Bayern. Speaks volume when Bayern openly declare their interest in Neuer who will in no doubt be first choice should he sign on.

Whenever I hear of Mario Gomez, I think of Slater from Saved by the Bell.
he's talented but doest seem to handle the pressure of playing for a big club. i hope Bayern sign Neuer, the guy has potential to be one of the best in the world
This!
Christ. The expression 'more money than sense' springs to mind.
He's not worth that much.
I bet Torres wasn't even their first, second or third choice. I bet a few more players will come out and say that they was offered to move to the renties.
Why would someone pay that much for him?
He cost Bayern München, a rich club, €30-35 million two years ago and he's got 25 in 29 this season. What the hell do you reckong his price is?
A very limited player for that price.
I never rated him, wouldn't want him even on the cheap, let alone the ridiculous fee mentioned above.
Andy Carroll
Exactly. Why didn't Bayern just accept that ridiculous offer from Chelsea?
He is limited, but he's also very good at what he does, I've always liked him. Lester is completely right, they paid a bucketload of money for him and wouldn't be able to find a proper replacement. Why should they sell him for cheap? On top of that, Bayern are EXTREMELY rich, they are not dependent on winning a few pounds from Chelsea.
Because he is the one forward they have now banging in goals consistently.
- He scores goals
- They´ve only two fit strikers at the moment (Klose is the other one)
- They´ve a lot of money in the bank.
Bayern are probably the most well run major club in football today. They don't need the money and they've always had the best German players. No use in selling him when he's scoring. And as "limited" as people claim he is, his first job as a striker is to score goals and that's what he does.
People are getting quite greedy with wanting players to do absolutely everything.

how has he been this year
Back to his best.
Don't know why Bayern are 5th place. They have plenty of class players in their team. Maybe their horrible defense.
Rubbish keepers and a rubbish central defence.
Yes, because of their defense - but they have also missed the flair of Ribéry and, especially, Arjen Robben. They haven't been able to field the two since the German Cup final back in May last year.
I am baffled that van Gaal has moved Schweinsteiger further up the field - usually behind the striker -, although he became a world class player as a central defensive midfielder (sort of box-to-box).
So, how good is he really? 3 goals tonight already 
I'm watching the game tonight, and he's been very impressive. He reminds me a lot of van Nistelrooy in that he looks awkward-ish on the ball with his back to goal, but at the same time isn't really. He's unreal in the box - I think he has 18 in his last 16 games now.
Bayern look very good altogether to be fair, and with Robben still to come back they'll be hard to beat in this competition.

With his hattrick, Gomez has now become the highest German Champions League goalscorer with 17 goals in this competition.
Almost had a 4th with that shot from the halfway line at the end. He wasnt that good in his first season after his move to Bayern, but since then he's hit the heights he had before then
Wow this guy is on fire this season. Another hat-trick for him.
I read an article somewhere (think it was from Soccernet) that a number of German writers are suggesting that Bayern actually play better without Robben
