I have to disagree about Stuttgart though. Now that Werder have lost Klose and Frings (will be out for six months) they are the only team that can challenge Bayern.

Frings won't be out for a half year. That was the 1st diagnosis, but the scanning shown that the injury wasn't that bad at all and he's expected to be back in September </BLOCKQUOTE>

Oops, my bad then. He is their key midfielder.

mon Hamburg. Van der Vaart :*)

Bayern will sadly walk it by about a 10 point margin, with HSV coming second.

The Bundesliga is so cult
Have to credit Bayern really, they've identified their weaknesses and bought players who will strengthen them in every position.

:cool: Castellan, too. Really think this'll be a good year for us. *ignores DJ* Since Huub's taken over we've been a different team, and I reckon if we can fire up front and with the likes of Ben-Hatira and Choupo-Moting coming up from the youth, I'm actually excited. Think a Champions League place and a decent run in the UEFA Cup is ours if we don't scew up/have another crazy injury jinx.

EhvanHSV, what do you think, is this Van der Vaart's last year for Hamburg?

If we don't finish top 3, I'll say yeah. He always said he'll stay unless a "dream club" comes in for him, other than that he's been very loyal, but I think if we're not top 3 he'll definitely be gone. Cruyff always said he was too good for us.

Sorin down on his luck

Juan Pablo Sorin was forced to watch Hamburger SV's superb 4-0 Intertoto Cup win over Dasia Chisinau from the side lines.

The former Argentina captain has a knee infection and will be unable to train for some time.

Ruled out of training

Huub Stevens: "Sadly, things are not looking very good for Juan at the moment. He will be unable to train over the next few days."

The midfielder has been plagued by injury since joining HSV a year ago. He has only managed 18 appearances so far.

He'll probably miss the 1st couple of games

Gimenez set to leave

Hertha BSC striker Christian Gimenez has handed in a transfer request, and the Berlin club have decided to let him go.

The 32 year old striker, whose contract runs until 2009, has an offer from Mexican top flight club Deportivo Toluca.

Off to Mexico today

After careful consideration Hertha BSC have decided to meet Gimenez's desire and allow him to leave.

The player will fly to Mexico today to agree terms with Toluca.

Do they want to go down or what?

-Alexander Frei is back in training for BVB \0/

Regional leagues will be fun to watch this season as the end of the season comes the big divide and split to form the new league!

But Bayern should win the Bundesliga easily, have brought such good players in they are going to ecplipse the rest.......or should!

It will be an interesting battle for the rest of the places below Bayern. Im looking forward to it I have to say, might even be off to the Allianz arena in August to watch them vs H96......of course I will be support my H96

[retired_lantern2camping]

ok so this will be a good a place as anywhere to ask this.

I'm a rovers supporter, and we just signed Santa Cruz of bayern, so how good is he?

his record aint the greatest for you lot, but we're kinda hoping for great things from him.
