HOW IN THE CRAP are Bayern going to play Muller, Kroos, Gotze, Martinez, Shaqiri, Schweinsteiger, Gustavo, etcccc in the midfield ASSUMING that Ribery and Robben are gone?

ETA: hahah accidentally read PLAY as PAY... so all this below doesn't talk about playing time lol


Well first of all, Ribery is NOT leaving this summer or next summer or probably even the summer after that, he will in all likelihood retire at Bayern. They are able to afford all these players, plus turn a profit because they are very soundly run and are a huge club. Their finance chief is retiring this summer and he's almost single handedly responsible for the financial prowess of Bayern Munich. The club has a shite ton of money and is only making more, they are NOT worried about finances, trust me. They are 81.8% owned by their fans with Audi and Adidas each owning 9.1%. It is rumored that someone (likely Gazprom) will be buying another 10% this summer.

Doubtful anyone will be added to the midfield to be honest. The midfield is world class.
