    Jul 26 2024
    The Vincent Kompany Era is underway and fans got their first game day taste of what Bayern Munich might be when the squad dismantled FC Rottech-Egern 14-1. Even that beatdown did not calm some of the uneasiness that fans have been feeling about how things are progressing during this offseason. So, let’s talk about that and a lot more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show. This is what we have on tap: Bayern Munich never really had a shot with Xavi Simons — and what that tells us about Max Eberl. It’s okay to be caught somewhere between uneasy and excited about the team at the moment. At this stage, there might not be any difference making transfer that will help the team this season. Takes on House of the Dragon and Cobra Kai...and a few other random thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Bayern Munich’s training camp is well underway and things are starting to develop before the full squad has even arrived. Whispers are emerging that some players might be in trouble — and could get some help in being convinced that they need to move on. That’s a hot topic as is, but there is plenty more to chat about as well, so let’s get to it: Recent reports indicate that Vincent Kompany could use the preseason to help thin out the roster by making it clear that some players will not have a role on his squad. Who might those players be? Is this the right way to handle it? What does this say about Bayern Munich as a whole and how the perception of Bayern could change among fans and players alike. Bayern Munich might miss out on both Xavi Simons and Désiré Doué — and here’s why. Bayern Munich might be shooting itself in the foot by playing hardball with Manchester United over Matthijs de Ligt. Everyone should be rooting for Niklas Süle to get fully back into form (even if he is a Borussia Dortmund player).

    The last week has been rather light on Bayern Munich related news, especially on the transfer front, which gives us a little breather to talk about the team — specifically the coach. With Vincent Kompany holding his first public training session this last Saturday, the German media is rife with stories about his incredible attention to detail and general Guardiola-esque vibes. Is it too good to be true? In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following: Our first impressions of Vincent Kompany in training. Comparisons to Pep Guardiola — is it just hype? Kompany vs Mikel Arteta, and what another former “Pep disciple” did to get Arsenal back on track. What does Kompany need to achieve to be considered a success in his first season? Will Kompany get as many second-chances from the board as Thomas Tuchel did? Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

    Bayern Munich’s preseason is underway and the transfer window promises to offer up much change. So what do we have to ta about on this show...let’s take a look at what’s on tap because there is a lot: Max Eberl might have shown his cards on the futures of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka.

Manchester United is playing hardball over Matthijs de Ligt. What should fans be excited about at this stage...let us tell you!

    Bavarian Podcast Works S6E54: Why Bayern Munich keeping Alphonso Davies is a terrible idea; Was Thomas Müller forced to retire?; Harry Kane could be in trouble; and MORE!
    Jul 15 2024
    Now that EURO 2024 is over, we shift our focus back to Bayern Munich — which is good because there’s plenty to talk about. The transfer window is open and the club are looking to raise some solid money from sales, but there are rumors that it’s not just players, but even board members who could be on the chopping block this summer. Meanwhile, Thomas Müller just announced his retirement from international football. It wasn’t unexpected, but you can’t help but feel he still had something left to give. This is a sad day for fans of the German NT. In this episode, INNN discusses the following: Why keeping Alphonso Davies without a contract extension is a HUGE mistake — Bayern Munich would be nuts to go through with it. Is Jan-Christian Dreesen on his way out? Does he deserve to be sacked? Who can even replace him? A short (okay, maybe not that short) rant on Thomas Müller’s retirement from international football. Warning: This part of the podcast contains SPECULATION and maybe a few hot takes. Harry Kane’s mysterious injury and what it might mean for the upcoming season under Vincent Kompany. An attempt to close out the podcast on a positive note. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
