João Neves was offered to Bayern last summer. Former chief scout Markus Pilawa strongly advocated for the signing of Neves internally – but the club was very fixated on signing João Palhinha after his failed move the summer before, so the idea of João Neves was discarded [@altobelli13, @cfbayern]

  1. I don’t know what’s going on with the club anymore but everyone is a fucking amateur. From scouting to coaching and to the board, everyone is making shit decisions. The only capable person is eberl and we want to fire him.

  2. I don’t believe anything anymore Falk says. Funny how these clowns come up with such stories today and not a year ago. What he does is like ragebait to me

  3. well i guess it speaks for the clubs representatives that they kept their word and fulfilled palhinhas wish. but in comparison neves would have probably been the better fit.

    If the rumors are true, we missed out on Doué, Vitinha, and now João too, what a mess.

  5. JFC, Neves was already becoming world class and would have fit much better too

    If this is true, everyone who vetoed, nixxed, or used their power as a decision maker to discard the idea of signing this guy should stub their toe on the way out the door.
