I've just checked the odds for the outright winner of the Bundesliga 2024/25 and not going to lie, I was quite surprised with what I see.
I expected Leverkusen to be the favourite. There's no way they'll be as dominating as in the previous season, but I still think they are more likely to win than any other team.
Maybe I'm just not a big believer of Kompany being able to make Bayern great again.

Hiring a manager from a small team that got relegated on the English Premier League last season is not too good for Bayern Munich, but some people were thinking that it is a good signing which I wanted to agree at the first place, but when I checked the margin, I also thought that it was a wrong move for Bayern.
On personal experience, he has not yet experienced coaching any big team, starting his big team career at Bayern is not that good, but he can as well do well since the team is already built and have quality and world class players that can win them titles.

Alonso also started unexpectedly but ended well, he has already proven his worth as a great manger even though it wasn’t in a big team like Bayern, I will be expecting similar performance from Vincent Kompany.

Hiring Alonso would have been better, but he said he cannot leave for now that he will stay additional season at Leverkusen if not Madrid and Liverpool were also in the race to sign him; but at the end of next season, he will decide if he is leaving or not and which team he will decide to go.

Been critical of Vincent Kompany even before the season starts is not a bad move. It doesn't mean that we are going to see him suck, who knows maybe Bayern will win the league very easily, like with 10+ point difference. That doesn't mean that you can't just assume that Bayern could have gotten someone with more experience back in the day, this is Bayern we are talking about. Hiring a manager out of a relegation team at England is not what Bayern should be doing, even if he turns out to be good, this isn't the place to check that out.

Bayern is expecting fans to just stay and watch, maybe he will turn out to be great, maybe he will turn out to be terrible, that is not what Bayern suppose to do. Let that be done by some other team, a lower level team, hire Xabi for whatever price you need to, pay 20 million a year to him if you have to, and get him, because he proved himself, or get someone that level. That's how a team like Bayern should be acting, getting a manager they know is good and already proven to the world. If they hire someone who hasn't proven anything at all, then I am sorry but then everyone will question the decision even before the season starts, that's just the way it is.

I once read the news at the end of last season, actually Ancelotti gave Arda Guller the freedom to determine his choice. because if he stays at Real Madrid he doesn't have much playing time so there is an option that Arda Guller will be loaned to another club. However, Arda Guller firmly rejected it, he still wanted to compete with other players to get the chance to play at Real Madrid.

Arda Guller's confidence was proven at the end of the season when he got the chance to play and he didn't waste the opportunity and immediately scored a goal, plus his appearance with Turkey during the Euro Cup of course this made Ancelotti dizzy in implementing a strategy because there are so many forwards who have extraordinary skills. The point is not that Ancelotti doesn't want Arda to leave, but Arda himself doesn't want to leave Real Madrid because he is very determined to prove to Ancelotti that he deserves a lot of playing time with Real Madrid. Real Madrid's front line this season is indeed very strong but Real Madrid's back line is still very fragile, hopefully Real Madrid can bring in a defender before the transfer window closes.

Arder Guler is one of the fastest rising young footballers in Europe at the moment so I perfectly understand why German champions Bayer Leverkusen are trying to get his services for at least duration of a whole season but Bayer Leverkusen's request can only be granted by Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian manager has before now told the public about how important of a player the Turkiye international is to his Real Madrid squad which is why I don't think he'll allow him leave on loan for a full season. However, I also think Bayer Leverkusen have a chance in getting the player on loan because of the numerous talented players in the Real Madrid squad. Since it's just a loan deal that might last for just a season, Arder Guler might be allowed to join the German champions at the before the end of the transfer window

I think it's also quite natural for Vincent Kompany to feel, why many people miss him and even curse him because he doesn't have much experience as well as opportunities in the English Premier League not getting a pleasant position even the team he leads is relegated, isn't that quite sad, so I think it's natural that many people don't believe in him.

If he is an easily motivated person, he will most likely prove himself and take back the trophy that was lost in the hands of Bayer Munich last season.

I'm quite doubtful that he can lose FC Düren, but even if he wins I don't think it's a big thing in his performance, but if he loses tomorrow then he will be even worse and more doubted by Bayer Munich fans.

Madrid have got a whole lot of stars who has together added to the strength of the team and ofcourse Guler isn't left out as one of these key players who over the years since his arrival to Madrid has been of great importance to them, what I see at the moment is in the fact that the anticipated potential in Guler is what Ancelotti is holding unto and the price at which Leverkusen may be willing to offer fro this deal, if Leverkusen comes up with a very good offer, I believe Madrid will make some considerations, although Madrid is stable financially, they have got replacements so his exit wouldn't be a threat on their form, all Leverkusen need do is make a better bid.

Harry Kane is not a weak striker; he is a hardworking one. However, what I observed about him not winning any trophies in his career, both at the club and country levels, is that he's just not lucky. Despite Bayern Munich's performance declining, I didn't expect them to end last season without winning any trophy. Bayern Munich has not been that weak before. Despite Harry Kane's age, we still saw how he performed last season; he scored a lot of goals for Bayern Munich. If the season starts and Harry Kane does not meet Kompany's expectations, they will surely add another good striker. Let's just see what happens as Kompany prepares for next season.

Yes, Arda Guler is a great player with a bright future ahead. I mean, look at what he did last season. Scoring six goals in 11 games for Real Madrid is not something an average young player does. It's a fine reason why Ancelotti would protect him from any harm's way that might hinder his career path.

While reading about the rumors of Leverkusen wanting to borrow Arda Guler, I can also get why Ancelotti would want to hold on to him. Arda Guler is that good and visionary in his play which makes us remember Mesut Özil. Like Özil, Guler can be able to control the game and create exceptional opportunities.

Just imagine if Arda Guler could be the successor of Özil, stepping into the big boots of the Turkish football legend. Maybe, with Ancelotti as his mentor and safeguard, we will see Arda Guler growing up to be one of the best players in the world, maybe even in the future bringing glory to Real Madrid and to Turkish football.

Now we just have to wait how he works to bring back the trophy that was stolen last season by Leverkusen. The current situation is not very favorable for Kompany because he is always the target of criticism for Bayern even though he has not made his debut just because he is considered not to have the ability to do much for Bayern because of his lack of experience but on the other hand this is also a good thing for Kompany because with this even though the pressure is very large but he also benefits because with a lot of scorn it will make him good enough to prove his capacity at a big club like Bayern.

Tomorrow we will see how he manages the club against FC Düren in a friendly match. It may only be an introduction and warm-up so the focus may only be on the younger players but I think it could be a good start to show that Kompany isn't as bad as many have criticized him for being when he was appointed to coach Bayern.

I don't know how strong the connection is with arda guller and real Madrid but I feel ancelotti as you have said will really don't want to let go any of any player who is off value to them but although this Madrid team is now filled with so many valuable players with which to get a steady start up will be hard for the manager to select as I believe some of those player wouldn't like to be the ones always sitting on bench.

Harry Kane has been quite great since from the time he has been playing for Tottenham Hotspur but still yet to win the first trophy in his career. With consistency, dedication and not giving up, he can still be a winner one day and I love his optimism about it because I’ve never seen him talked about that before and doesn’t even look like what is bothering him that much as long as his team is always winning. Next season is another chance for him to try again and if he is able to put that same effort as last season and all his teammates also perform to their maximum, they would be league winners and also fight for other trophies in other competitions they’ll be participating in.


Kompany should not be looked down on when no one is even yet to see his performance in the league and how he intends to manage Bayern Munich. The club is still very much capable of coming back to their usual form of the best in the Bundesliga. They’ve the players they need, they just need the coach to put in his best strategy not the players in order to come out excellently well next season.

When still playing at Tottenham Kane was recognized as sharp striker he even help this team a lot even Kane was Tottenham legend because he is as the player with the most goals in this team with 270 goals in all competitions but unfortunately those goals didn't help Kane to gets the trophies from major competitions with Tottenham and during his career Kane has been reach several times the final matches with Tottenham and England but unfortunately Kane always be unlucky because he failed to performing well at the final matches

Besides that Kane also has interesting records because when playing at the final matches Kane also be performing poorly and this makes some people has starting to thinking that probably Kane was cursed and when he want to leave Tottenham actually Kane has several options because at that time besides Bayern Munich it says Manchester United also interested to him he even almost be moved to that team but Bayern Munich was lucky because Kane has decide to choose them as his next team and apparently Kane has right choose because with Bayern Munich he can managed his consistency and scores a lot of goals

Just like i said before one of Kane main reason why he want to moved to Bayern Munich is because his chances to gets the trophies is more open with this team because for every season Bayern Munich always be involved for the race title but unfortunately last season Bayern Munich have to satisfied to ended the season without the trophies and according to his contract Kane will stayed at Bayern Munich until 2027 and before his contract ended i think Kane must prove to people that he is not cursed and can get the trophies with Bayern Munich

Hard work and consistency will determine the position they will fallen and that is one of the reasons other clubs are doing better than one another, consistency matters a lot, not all the clubs can handle all the pressure of playing with other clubs, and Bayern will not be able to archive anything serious for now because of some reasons they will use this period to learn from their weaknesses. And Harry Kane should be one of the best options that Bayern have, and last season was not easy for him also, even as they were much pressure on him. Euro was another interesting game and Harry Kane was able to lift a tittle at the end of the day, Leverkusen as been a dangerous club that will be a serious challenge for Bayern so that is one of the reasons they should not expect anything this season.

Not with the new manager is Bayern Munich going to be tittle winners, they can be among the contestants and if they were to win, it won't be an easy battle. Many clubs in the bundesliga are going to see this season as a chance for them to win the league title since Bayern Munich aren't going to be playing at the highest level due to the new manager that have no experience. Bayern Munich have quality players but when the main man is an average coach, much shouldn't be expected from the club. Anyone that watched Bayern Munich preseason game, the first one they played will notice the decline in their playing even though they won.

Both Kane and Bayern Munich will be aiming for the Bundesliga trophy again in the new season, opportunities will always come for those who believe and are willing to try with performance and do it as best as possible. Harry Kane's chance to lift the trophy is still wide open with his current team, after all Bayern is one of the most competitive teams in the Bundesliga. unfortunately, in his first season it was not as smooth as he might have wanted. this season is a new challenge for Kane, as well as for his teammates to realize what the club is targeting under the guidance of Vicent Kompany.

Last season Kane has scored 36 goals, and that is something very impressive even though it did not succeed in bringing Bayern to the top of the standings until the end of the season. Bayern will remain one of the strong challengers in the Bundesliga, even though their performance is not so good under the guidance of Thomas Thucel. next season, maybe the Bundesliga will be more competitive. it does not mean that under the guidance of Vincent Kompany Bayern will not perform optimally, so Leverkusen needs to prepare his team so that they can retain the trophy they won last season. However, Bayern Munich is still one of the most competitive teams in this competition. And, it is possible that Kane and Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga again.

I even heard that some fans don’t want Harry Kane to play for them because they think he’s cursed and any team he joins, they don’t get to win any trophy again and with all his career, he hasn’t won any yet and even after joining a new club, they were not able to win any trophy that season and they’ve always been a league winner season after season for a decade now. I have great hope on Harry Kane and this might just be a testing phase in his career and when he begins to win trophies, he’ll win more than he can imagined in his career all time. It’s just a matter of time and I think it’s not yet the perfect time for him.


I still think they can let him go and join them on loan. Arder Guler has been playing very well all the times he has come in as a substitute for Real Madrid in the last season but I don’t think he’ll have more playing time next season than he had in the previous season. Going on loan to Bayern Leverkusen could give him more opportunities there to showcase himself well and get a starting eleven at Real Madrid when he returns. I like it when players move to teams they can get more playing time because starting from bench is really detrimental to many players career.

Do you really believe Kompany can make Bayern Munich better next season? Because anyway, for me Bayern Munich's failure last season was due to the greatness that happened to Bayer Leverkusen. Because at least, with the impressive Bayer Leverkusen it made Bayern Munich also become depressed and difficult to make the right rotation. Thus, defeats are inevitable and thus, it becomes difficult for Bayern Munich to get the right composition last season.

After all, the reality is that at this moment although it is only a friendly match but the fact is that Bayern Munich still conceded even though they only played against Rottach-Egern. Indeed, it was only a friendly match and none of the main players played but at least, that makes them of similar quality. Although Bayern Munich managed to make 14 goals but still, Bayern Munich also conceded but that also certainly cannot be used as a benchmark.

Kane is gifted. Nobody disputes that. Definitely a goal machine. Ironically, he's never won big. Its not just terrible luck. Staying at Tottenham for years? Tells you something. He may have been too comfy. He may not have been hungry. He plays for Bayern Munich, a strong team with current challenges. Like jumping from one sinking ship to another.

Great managers like Vincent Kompany will get Bayern back on track. It wont happen overnight. Bayern's issues are substantial and will take time to resolve. While Kane scores goals, can he carry the team? Can he win crucial games? History suggests scepticism. Kane's deadly instinct has never been demonstrated. I appreciate underdog stories. Maybe this is his year to prove everyone wrong. We'll see.

Talking about Harry Kane, he is a great player without a title. I think we will all agree to say that he is a great player and deserves to get a title, but unfortunately it is not that easy for him to achieve everything. At Tottenham he played very well, he even became the top scorer in the Premier League, that proves that he is a great player. However, the team's performance was not that good to be able to achieve the title in the Premier League with very tight competition. In the England national team too, he always failed after failed, even though in terms of player composition they were a luxurious squad.

The curse that was used as a joke by some people was more heard when he was at Bayern Munich. Yes, at first we predicted that he would be able to win the title, but in reality it was not at all. And at that time the Kane curse was considered his problem. This is a joke that we can hear now. Lol
