Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show: VfB Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich (Beckenbauer Supercup)

After months of speculation, it finally appears that Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is making the seemingly unlikely move to Bayern Munich.The final days here have been a whirlwind of “will he” or “won’t he” stories that eventually all faded away. Barring a last minute collapse, Kane should be making his way to Germany for a physical and could be presented at the DFL-Supercup — if things go to plan. All that said, there was plenty to talk about, so let’s dig in: Why I am crushing a crow sandwich. Recapping the craziness that occurred on Thursday August 10th as news was flowing from everywhere about Kane’s potential move. How Kane will fit and why Thomas Tuchel’s biggest job is to ensure this move is a success. Also, some thoughts on what happens if Tuchel can’t make the team mesh quickly. What else Bayern Munich might be looking at in the transfer market and why some of the perceived needs probably are exactly requirements. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, INNN and Schnitzel talk about the following: What the hell is Daniel Levy playing at? Should Bayern Munich pull out of the Harry Kane transfer? What potential options are available at this stage? Sadio Mane might be one of the worst transfers in Bayern Munich history. With Manuel Neuer still injured, was it a good idea to let Yann Sommer go? What goalkeeper alternatives can Bayern sign on such short notice? Why David de Gea is a BAD option. A review of how Bayern Munich has played in preseason so far. Why does Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich feel less dynamic? Tuchel vs Kimmich and the #6 debate. Why has the fanbase turned completely against Leon Goretzka?

The preseason has not been so kind to Bayern Munich just yet. Similarly, the World Cup served up a gut punch to Germany in the form of a stunning defeat at the hands of Colombia (The Revenge of James Rodriguez?). With Harry Kane’s pursuit ongoing and Manuel Neuer still trying to get into form, there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding Bayern Munich — and let’s not think about Germany being in an elimination match against South Korea (where have we seen this before?). Needless to say, we have plenty to chat about, so let’s get to it. This is what we have on tap for this week’s episode of the BFW Flagship Show: Germany’s shocking defeat and why there might be organizational issues with development at the DFB. A quick update on Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Kane. Dayot Upamecano could find himself on the bench for Thomas Tuchel. Why the preseason is a little concerning — even if the results do not mean a damned thing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

Let’s take a look at what is going on in this episode: Some thoughts on why Bayern Munich really might be in the final hours of life without a world class No. 9.

Why there is no way Bayern Munich should be looking to spend any significant cash on a back-up goalkeeper — even if there are some red flags being raised with Manuel Neuer’s recovery. Exploring the potential sale of Sadio Mané, the rumors about Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry being available...and how that could all mean that Bayern Munich is looking at another big purchase this summer (even if this dolt if content to ride it out with Sané and Gnabry.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

So Bayern Munich played their first proper preseason friendly against another top level European team, and lost. While it wasn’t the drubbing we saw in last season’s Champions League quarter-final, Manchester City managed to come away with the win thanks to two goals from an antivirus and Laporte. Maybe a better lineup and some better players available could’ve handed Bayern the win, but that’s water under the bridge now. Here are our talking points from the game: A review of the two lineups we saw from Thomas Tuchel today. A quick recap of the flow of the game and who was better on balance. The problem with Bayern Munich’s attack right now. The paradoxical performances of Leroy Sane. What was Konrad Laimer like? Second half undesirables impressed — Bouna Sarr, Sven Ulreich, Mathys Tel. Why is Thomas Tuchel such a muted presence on the sidelines? Especially compared to Pep Guardiola.

In the week since we last recorded a main series episode, Bayern Munich have been busy on the pitch and in the transfer market. A 27-0 win over FC Rottach-Ergern was followed up by the news that Harry Kane’s wife is actively looking for houses in Munich. Naturally we can’t have too much of a good thing, so Thomas Muller ended up being ruled out of the Asia Tour with a hip injury, followed by news that Tuchel will try to “ease” the Raumdeuter out of the starting lineup. In this episode, INNN and Schnitzel talk about the following: Is Bayern Munich offering Harry Kane too much for his services? What is going on between Thomas Tuchel and Thomas Muller? What can the starting XI versus Rottach-Egern tell us about Tuchel’s plans for the lineup moving forward? How is Thomas Tuchel going to use the midfield next season? What happens to Leon Goretzka? Is Marcel Sabitzer headed to Borussia Dortmund? What kind of lineup should we expect against Manchester City this week?
