really? watching "the four year plan" showed me a bunch of cattle traders, and to be fair i don't have a long history of watching european football so i don't know what it was before. but watching bayern being run by old players (even if they evade taxes) gives you a different feeling.

then again, dortmund's stock is publicly traded

that's what these suckas say:

currently bayern has 3 center forwards: mandzukic, gomez, and pizarro. gomez as you know was last year's choking star. mandzukic came in to sub for gomez while he recovered from surgery but after some training ended up being the new superstar (e.g. vs. juve). pizarro was brought back from werder bremen as backup, and he's in his last year i believe (he's supposed to retire at the end of the season, but who knows). gomez is now the first sub. with twice a week matches, bayern has been alternating mandzukic and gomez and keeps pizarro at hand. some few matches pizarro started. they also have played this 2-striker scheme with gomez upfront and pizarro behind him. so it makes sense to have 3 in a team that's playing such a schedule/formation-- plus, an assortment of sizes.

so after pizarro leaves (if he does) that would put gomez at the tail end of things, but i doubt he'll be happy warming the bench, he'll likely go somewhere and bayern will get an older/cheaper player for backup. just a speculation. who knows really.
