Muller definitely needs to leave Bayern this summer. Out of all the players at big clubs that have been mentioned this is the one I reckon could happen.

Thomas Muller could fit in nicely as cover for all three of the forward roles. At 22, good age with his best years ahead of him, despite already having 32 caps for Germany. Time for our new Assistant Manager to have a word in his shell like....
I put this on the other thread last night but bears repeating with the ITK:

During the time that Freund was assistant head coach to the German under 20s, Thomas Muller was selected once and scored once.

So they do know each other. And it could well be a help to us if we want him.
I think he'd be ideal. He'd cover positions across the right and up front, is young enough to improve and has a knack of scoring goals. I appreciate he's had a mixed time at Bayern and wasn't everyone's favourite player at the Euros, but I thought he looked Bayern's most potent forward in the Champions League final, was rewarded with his goal and I was amazed when they took him off, they looked a lesser side in extra time without him.
Would be well pleased if we picked him up.

Yep when i was given that info it was correct but alot has changed since then! New manager some new targets to fit his new playing style!

And yet the Journalist called it in May? Also, what happened to Blanc being our new manager? Looking at your previous posts, your "ITK" is incredibly poor.

Carlo off suggests a likely incoming soon.

I'm not sure that follows. It could be that AVB's decided to stick with Brad and Heurelho for this season. Let's face it, we could do a lot, lot worse, and I don't subscribe to the view that a new GK's a vitally pressing need this summer.

The Cobra (fighting cock forum) re: Thomas Muller
Müller Nice... Freund pushing for it

I did ponder as to what possible input Freund may have in this - obviously quite a bit by the sounds of it!

I wonder, did he help develop Muller through Germany's youth side at all?

Mueller would be a good purchase, play right or up front and probably on left too if it came to it, caters for the GFTS from a few windows also...........but can we get him is another question...JJ didnt write it off but did say wanting and getting were two different things

I thought the "wanting and getting" quote came from Akqa in ref to falcao after jj rubbished it? seems afew on here think muller could be a very good versatile purchase. Let's hope it comes off :D

I don't think he did. Think they missed each other as Mueller rose through the ranks and then Freund went off to Nigeria. He may have coached once or twice, though.

Three goalkeepers are usually a pre-requisite for a season campaign, albeit one is usually an inexperienced youth/academy product.

In any case, this will surely be Brad's last season and who knows what the future holds of Gomes. As it stands, a viable opportunity to sign a top internationally rated goalkeeper in the prime of their life in Lloris doesn't come around too often so I'm all for pre-empting change at goalkeeper to fast track getting a great long term replacement in.
