UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals (Aug 18-19)

[Rimaal]

Gnabry had injury issues at West Brom did he not?

He was fit enough to play for Weder Bremen and score 11 goals in 27 appearances.

His peak ?
What are you smoking here, he's been the best CB in the world for bits at Bayern and didn't get the trust that's been needed at City.

The guy's only become the player he was at Bayern afterwards.

Looked poor at City. Peak was probably the wrong word.

Let's be honest, when Gnabry left, Bayern had already tapped him up

Sad thing about Gnabry situation is that even if you went back in time, you would still pick a 20 goal a season Walcott and highly promising Oxlade-Chamberlain over him.

Wenger’s hands were tied unfortunately.

Gnabry: "Wonder if I will finally even be on the bench this week?" (turns to Theo)

My G Auoar having a stinker to force a move. Sign him up asap

Getting into a discussion about why he left in 3...2....1.....

If we are getting sick of the Gnabry discussions everytime he scores for Bayern. Imagine being Tony Pulis. For the foreseeable future I swear He won't be able to watch a Bayern game in peace without someone asking him "tell me Tony, what was this player like when you had him. Was he really not good enough to get into that West Brom side?". I can also imagine him swearing and blurting out "ffs, not that discussion again".

:rofl:
You're going on my ignore list for that. Go watch some football and learn a thing or two.

I'm a Bayern fan, but that game will be a toss up. Depends on PSG's form on the day. They have all the tools to beat Bayern.

Anything that paints us even slightly negative, you know BT are gonna run with it.

What’s with you always playing the victim?

Joel Campbell made 30 appearances for us in 2015/2016...

Yeah, Bayern are known for that. They clearly tried the same thing with Hudson-Odoi but it didn’t work.

I’m not sure. Sometimes a kid simply isn’t good enough or ready to get into a PL team.

Gnabry was not fully developed at all. Like I said after he left he still went on like 2-3 loans and had developing time at Bayern before blowing out.

I think Wenger was doing good job with him. Maybe he could do better protecting him at WBA loan but Wenger wanted Gnabry to fight for place at PL club and become better player for it.

It just didn't work out.

Not even close. Aside from their front 3, which are world class, their team is rather mediocre.
They barely beat Atalanta and went past a toothless Leipzig last night. Bayern is stacked in all departments with firepower and they'll put pressure on them that PSG isn't used to handling because they haven't been playing competitive football in a long time and against strong opponents.

You would party too if you were the chip king.

Pulis hates football, no reason to watch Bayern when you can just keep looping Lorik Cana and long throw videos over and over.

As usual, an excellent post by you. Absolute pleasure reading your posts recently.

@MutableEarth

Said this months ago. Scenario's not the same but the trajectory and profile is similar.

I'm well over Gnabry leaving, it's happened and I'm happy to see him fulfilling his vast potential. I just hope Nelson fulfills his.

What are you trying to say here mate, Hydro has always been a top poster.

Bayern's defence is vulnerable to pace and play a highline. That's all PSG needs. We gave a mediocre Lyon 3 (maybe 4) chances in the 1st half. PSG will finish.
