Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show Season 4, Episode 51: Does Bayern Munich have the necessary leaders in place?; The latest on Bayern and Liverpool’s Luis Diaz; Nick Woltemade news; A review of Squid Game; and MORE!
•
Bayern Munich’s summer transfer window season has been silent since July 1st hit, but there are a lot of rumors swirling. Let’s talk through those, but let’s also discuss what could be a leadership void with the team as it heads into the new season. This is what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Hermann Gerland has retired from coaching after a terrific career.
- Is the void with leadership bigger than with players at left-wing, center-back, etc. at Bayern Munich? Will the team be ready for the rigors of the season after so many early setbacks?
- The Luis Diaz saga continues. What should we think of the latest news and should Bayern Munich be willing to pay upwards of €80 million for the Liverpool attacker.
- The latest on Nick Woltemade.
- A high-level, non-spoiler review of Squid Game season three.
