3. Beginning to agree quite a bit here...

Not particularly impressed with Pep so far. We didn't need Thiago, or Goetze really, and these additions will needlessly push big contributors (esp. Kroos and Schweini, but also potentially Boateng and/or Dante) to last years success to the bench. Smacking players isn't going to win the hearts and minds of the fans, and it's really not going to win over the players. I expect a slow start to the year, and FC Hollywood to return in force by the winter break.

I wouldn't be surprised -- or particularly upset either -- if this is Pep's only year at Bayern.
