We lost many players which is never a good sign after such a successful year... But fortunately only one loss that can really hurt us, that of Thiago who left us for LFC.
Maybe Perisic who was a very reliable player, a big-game player that helped us dominate Europe last season.

It's hard when you have to replace at least 5 important players in the middle of a huge crisis with very limited funds but the board, in my opinion, did very well, and of course, being one of the most successful clubs in the world definitely helped!
The arrivals :- Leroy Sané
- Tanguy Nianzou
- Marc Roca
- Alexander Nübel
- Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting
- Bouna Sarr
- Rémy Vita

On loan :
- Douglas Costa
- Tiago Dantas

End of loan :
- Adrian Fein
When we all lost hope, the board impressed us with a legendary comeback in the last few days of the Mercato.
A beautiful mix of very talented youngsters and experienced players. Hansi Flick can only be happy, with a strong and balanced squad at his disposal.

The star signing: Leroy Sané :
The expectations are high, Leroy (24y.) is seen as the new star of the club and the national team. Sané means dribbling, pace and agility down the flanks. but for me, this is a signing for the future.

I don't expect much from Leroy this year and i think we should all be patient with him, after such devastating injury and like with Neuer, it might take few months but he will be back at the top.
- Douglas Costa : Probably one of the best summer bargains in my opinion.

For free we got ourselves a very good, experienced player, who knows the club, the league and some of the players.
Someone who can step up and help the team right away.
Less pressure on Sané even if i still believe Perisic was a better fit but i hope I'm wrong about that.

Marc Roca : You can hardly replace Thiago but you can still sign one of the most talented Spanish midfielders and that's what Brazzo did. 
Marc is def the player i'm the most excited about, perfect back up for Kimmich who let's not forget it barely got some rest last season.

Roca is going to add a lot of competition in the midfield, one of the most complete players you can have (And we already have 2 in the midfield 
), he isn't here to play a 2nd role. He is def ready to fight for a spot!
- Alexander Nübel : The future, the new Manuel Neuer

The Schalke academy doesn't miss, i hope to see Nübel start in the Pokal games, he is ABSOLUTELY READY. 
Tanguy Nianzou : I didn't watch much of Tanguy but everyone who did know how big of a talent he really is, the future is bright and I'm full of hope.

It's going to be hard and complicated for Kouassi at first, even Lucas struggled for game time but with the 5 substitutions rule, he has to be patient & he will def get his chance.
Adrian Fein : I'm a bit biased because i love Fein, i hope he stays and gets a chance with the

1st team but just like Kouassi, it's going be complicated for Fein, a loan in the BL could be the best solution.
- Rémy Vita : Never heard of him before, another french CB straight from ligue 2. to the reserves. From what I've read, a cheap and smart bet, the Bayern way!

Bouna Sarr : To be honest, i don't expect much from Sarr. I watched him & i know him but i can't deny that since he joined, he showed a lot of enthusiasm, he is still 28y.o and he is proud to be here. He will work twice as hard for the team and the coach. Im happy for him!
I'll back him. He is now one of us!
Choupo-Moting : I said it 2 weeks ago, Zirkzee isn't ready and this means Flick can't rely on him to rest his BEST player. It's a one year contract, Zirkzee will go on loan to improve and in the meantime, CM will add depth to our bench!

Finally : Tiago Dantas :
I honestly never heard of him before Bayern signed him. Highly-rated talent but I'll wait until i watch him before getting super excited lol. Hopefully he won't follow the footsteps of Renato.

He can play as a 10, which is great because if everything goes according to plan, he can be Muller's back up we needed!
Mercato : 8 / 10
The planning was bad once again but we learned from our past mistakes, fewer players on loan this time while we managed to add lot of quality to the squad in the last few days.
We have now a strong team, we can def compete on every level !

The rise of Goretzka made the departure of Thiago less painful. Fein, Roca, Kouassi, and Tiago are here to surprise us the same way Davies did!
Quality backups in most positions, time to extend Alaba and go fight for our 7th Champions league !

PS : 2 players i never heard of before & 1 i never watched & that's very rare! I'm someone who breathes football & i normally watch like 10 games a week. This means that our scouting team is doing wonders, can only be proud of them & thank them for the work they've been putting!
