Bayern Munich supervisory board member Uli Hoene\u00df made an appearance on SPORT1-Doppelpass on Sunday and let loose with a series of strong takes, including his feelings about the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
A few things are clear \u2014 Hoene\u00df believes in Bayern Munich, the moves it made this summer (and maybe the moves it did not make, too), and is convinced that the club is on the right path to success this season and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very satisfied at FC Bayern. We are the real winners of the summer transfer window. We have a strong team and didn\u2019t need to strengthen it much. Of course, we would have liked to have Florian Wirtz, but we\u2019d never have bought him for \u20ac150m. We offered \u20ac55 million for Nick Woltemade, while Stuttgart wanted \u20ac75 million. In the end he went to Nottingham [Edit: Hoene\u00df meant Newcastle United] for \u20ac90m. What Newcastle are doing has nothing to do with football. It\u2019s like Monopoly these days,\u201d Hoene\u00df said. \u201cWe must not forget that there\u2019s still a transfer window in January. We would have enough money for that. We\u2019re also getting 3 \u2018new signings\u2019 for free in November with Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki It\u014d. There\u2019s also the young players who have to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
In certain respects, Hoene\u00df is correct \u2014 Bayern Munich has assembled a very strong and capable team without critically wounding itself financially. This should bode well for future squad planning, because the summer of 2026 is when the club is expected to undergo a significant overhaul.<\/p>\n
However, there were failures during the summer and strong examples of how not everyone in the organization are on the same page, which is concerning. While it was an effective summer, the season\u2019s results will determine whether it was successful or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich supervisory board member Uli Hoene\u00df made an appearance on SPORT1-Doppelpass on Sunday and let loose with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[71589,43989,49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-130946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-front-office","tag-bayern-munich-transfer-news-and-rumors","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
