It’s been over a week since Bayern Munich last played a game, and we’re suffering from withdrawal symptoms. There aren’t any games to talk about, so let’s talk transfers! Bayern didn’t do any business this winter, but the rumor mills have been turning. No, we’re not gonna discuss meme transfers like Thomas Muller to Everton, but there’s plenty more else to get into.In this episode, Tom and Ineednoname discuss:Talking about the ins and outs of the Niklas Sule decision — why is he leaving, and could Bayern have done more to keep him?Who should replace Niklas Sule — Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, Chris Richards, or maybe someone else?The question marks over Leon Goretzka’s fitness, and what that means for the club going forward.As always, thanks for your support and let us know what you think!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

There might not be a game for Bayern Munich this weekend, but it was an extremely eventful period nonetheless.The news was certainly not the best if you are a fan of Niklas Süle, so examining the fallout from his expected departure is right atop of this week’s agenda. This is what we have on tap for this episode:Niklas Sule’s upcoming exit and a walk through of the top candidates to replace him. Will it be Matthias de Ligt, Nico Schlotterbeck, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, or Matthias Ginter? Or “maybe it’s something really cool that I don’t even know about” like Frank the Tank said in Old School.Could Bayern Munich have a legitimate shot to get Erling Haaland if Robert Lewandowski leaves?Alexander Nübel’s future at Bayern Munich is dependent on the length of Manuel Neuer’s contract extension.Why the FC Bayern: Behind the Legend documentary was terrific, painful, genuine — and ultimately well done — all at the same time.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich sure never leaves us in need of things to talk about.You might be used to hearing two hosts on the Bavarian Podcast Works flagship show, but everyone else has been abducted (I think?), so you’ve got me on a solo mission to discuss the following topics:A look back at Bayern Munich’s dominant effort against Hertha Berlin.Niklas Süle’s potential exit from Bayern Munich, what it means from a sporting perspective and a financial perspective, and how even though it might seem like a big hole, the club will be able to replace him (at least somewhat).Breaking down why moves for FC Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz probably won’t happen.As always, thanks for your support and let us know what you think!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
