Summer mercato 2012

[GeoTav]

I don't see Bayern getting a player for their bench.

What I disagree is that you assume Shaqiri will automatically get first-team spot and Robben is the one he replaced. I said that maybe they'll play with Shaqiri-Robben, Shaqiri-Ribery, and maybe even Robben-Ribery, they have quality wingers.

Ok, I understand ... Actually, even myself disagrees with my quoted sentence by reading it again !!

All the players that clubs buy are not necessarely first team players ... So clubs can buy players for their bench !!

Anyway, what I meant about Shaqiri is that this guy seems to be one of the new "next big things" ... If they get that kind of player, it's to use him, wether he plays as a starter or comes from the bench. If he turns to really be this "next big thing" and isn't as injury prone as Robben (they both naturally play on the right side), then that means it's Robben who will lose his spot and will be benched (or used as an impact player). I don't think a player like Robben would accept to be used this way, so as a consequence, I think he could ask to leave in the next mercato if he notices and understands that the coach prefers Shaqiri to him, which is more likely than unlikely to happen (Shaqiri isn't WC yet because we don't know how he will play in a big team, but if he manages to keep the level he's showed in CL in a team like Bayern, he will surely become WC very soon).

Now I explained in a better way what I think about that ... One of my previous posts can be deleted !!

To finish: I don't hope nor want Robben in Milan anymore (some times ago, I would have liked to have him in our team, but nowadays, no way !!) ...
