Javi Martinez' knee is still not ready to go, which helps explain why Bayern went after Vidal

Interesting statistics in this weeks Kicker Magazine issue.
Regarding the number of fans visiting football games the German Bundesliga is No 1 worldwide.
This chart shows what home team has the highest, average number of fans:

From this point of view the transfer makes sense but why did they not just keep Schweini for another year? Way less expensive than Vidal. Will be intersting to see what happens if they are all healthy.
Bayern will have outstanding midfielders warming the bench. This might cause some trouble....

It had caused a little trouble last year, but the injury situation helped keep it at bay. Goetze's agent complained that he wasn't getting enough playing time and, if I recall, a couple other players felt the same way. But none of them really wanted to jump ship, except Schweini. However, I think he had other reasons.

Right. You have to remember that FCB didn't deal Bastian, Bastian asked to go.

Nice to have another win, even if it is only a friendly.

Thoughts: Thiago did not look good this game IMO. Had the ball stolen from him numerous times, just seemed out of sync completely.

Muller either is being used in a more strategically striking manner, or he just really wants goals. SHOTS SHOTS AND SHOTS! Lew was even in to start and still Thomas was making most of the attempts.

Costa is looking like a great pickup. Just 2 friendlies, so this comes with a grain of salt, but he has been electric so far.

Lewandoski has been having trouble finding the net. That one shot was a perfect set up and he skyed it. They didn't look bad. I was happy when he brought in Gaudino. I love that kid. I had a really bad feed. Did I seed Lahm go off early? I also didn't recognize the one player for Bayern and I can't find his name, Benko maybe? He must have been a try out from FCB II.

Lahm got "a knock". Wasn't limping or anything, and Pep later said they left with no new injuries, so it sounds like he was just being careful.

New kid was Fabian Benko. FCB II player.

Bayern wrap up their china tour with a 4-5 loss on penalties to Evergrande.

Not much to say here. Game was pretty boring and Pep had a few guys starting I never even heard of before. Most starters played very limited, so it was hard to make any evaluations on performance.

Benatia suffered a minor calf injury in warm ups, so that'll be something to keep an eye on.

They really aired an FC Bayern friendly against a Chinese team in the US ? Where did you watch it ?
Rummenigge just confirmed that they have agreed terms with Vidal....

Bad news friends.....

Fox apparently bought the rights to the Bundesliga TV just so they could drop it into a dirty dustbin where no one will see it.

Just cancelled FuboTV, guess I have to subscribe to Fox Soccer 2 Go. It's 20/month, but only 100 if you purchase an annual subscription, which comes out to 8.33/month.

I liked FuboTV, too bad there's no way they can get bundesliga now.

I have those Fox stations through my provider. I don't have Fox soccer 2 go, however. Even though there is a link on their web page for Blue Ridge Communications, when I click on it I get a dead page.

Ikovian; refer me for 2 go and I'll get you a free month.

Fubo TV has the Everton channel on it.

What does this mean? You need to subscribe to see every Bayern game, right ? And its only for digital devices ? What about Fox Sports 2 ? Is this also a Pay TV channel ?
