Fergie was the best in managing older players, picking the games they should play in and the games they should rest. If LvG is as good we have at least 5 years of a top player in Bastian.

Guess we'll sign Schneiderlin as well and LVG will (at least) have two players for every (midfield) position.
6: Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Blind
8: Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Pereira
10: Herrera, Mata, Fellaini
That would be a brilliant selection headache to have IMO. No Rooney in midfield, we need him upfront anyway.
Don't know about this one.. Sure we need a bigger squad this season ´cause of the UCL and the domestic cups but there's no way he should start in any of the big games before Carrick. Sure, he's won a lot but the Bundesliga has become a wash for Bayern who buys the opposition dry year after year. If the wages that are being thrown around are accurate, this might be a Falcao part 2..
But what I like about this and the upcoming Schneiderlin deal is that it pushes Blind to LB permanently and makes him better in that one position.. Blind is no Johnny O'Shea I tell you that..

This is how happy we all should be right now.
GTFO!
All we need to do is pump him full ofGH and TRT and he will be good into his 40's.
Just returned from a short holiday and will be leaving again tonight. I only had limited access to teh interwebs and the only news I got made it obvious Van Persie is leaving. Which is fair enough all things considered, though I personally liked him a lot and wasn't happy at all with a player of his calibre and talent leaving us.
But then we signed Bastian Schweinsteiger. Feck yeah.
I might just get mildly drunk on German beer now since I've got six of them in the fridge and there's nothing better to do anyway. A moment like this needs proper celebrating. It's very interesting that Bayern actually let him go, I wouldn't have guessed that last year. Though since he wanted to try something new, I guess there's not much the Bayern board could have done.

French cheese on top?how about with Italian pizza?
Quick, sign Lloris and Casill- never mind.
Ffs, I love carrick but he has never been anywhere close to the level schweinsteiger is. Not even close.
A buzzkill because I have legitimate concerns about a players recent injury record? Combined with our record of dealing with injury prone players? And the fact that the PL is an incredibly physically draining league? Its quite clearly not for 'no apparent reason' its actually with very good reason. Because as a player, I think Bastian is fantastic (obviously). I'm not doubting his quality.
Being negative does not make you the voice of reason. It just makes you a boring buzzkill for no apparent reason.
Or should I just jump on the 'OMG WE SIGNED SCHEWINSTIGER! WHO CARES ABOUT HIS INJURY RECORD!' band wagon, because well, thats what everyone else is doing?
20m euro has been reported.
No matter how high the sum was - it needed just a short talk of the officials to get an agreement over it... - nothing that hurts any of the parties!
I enjoy plenty of things. Infact, the only signing of the LVG era I've not been on board with yet was that of Falcao
Me too.
I'm not blaming the player. Hardly their fault if they're injury prone.
You're right, childish knee-jerk reactions would be completely out of character.
How can he miss 18 games over Bayern's winter break?
What is Bratwurst? but Peroni, yeahOr some Peroni with Bratwurst
Awww, care to send the other two on a flight to Manchester?
He has the most boring twitter account...

@BoringBastian to be the next parody twitter account then.
Is he our first German first team player? Other than Neumayr, I don't think we've ever had one 
Great response to all the points I made. Top post.
I haven't got a clue tbh. Maybe those stats are wrong? Any Bayern fans able to confirm? @Balu @Blackwidow ?
why boring? I dont know, seems like a normal footballer's account
I just followed him on twitter. It's all official now folks.
Can't wait for us to have Rooney, Mata, Schweinsteiger and Depay as options for Free kicks only to have Di Maria taking all of them.
I can't figure out which is better news, that we just signed him or that Madrid is rumored to have ended their pursuit for De Gea?!
You forgot Jones.
Well, even Ronaldo's representatives but more emotion into his tweets... This is like a report on the game basically
I actually met him for a few seconds last August at the Allianz when Bayern were showcasing their team for the coming season. I was wearing a United top and pointed to it asking him "Do you want to sign for United?" and he just laughed, then signed my shirt. But that's when the first seeds were planted in his mind.
So you can thank me for this one lads...
De Gea can take Edurna back to the Madrid circus for all I care now, we now have Ana Ivanovich
Have you forgotten about our beloved captain's stint in the midfield? His performances had you convinced aye?
How is blue moon reacting to all of this?
Well he looks back on the World cup from last year. He posts selfies and also congratulates people etc...just look down his timeline.
Headache? More like a disaster waiting to happen. Too many midfield players and the best teams in the world usually do not have such an overflow as it can disrupt team chemistry. Blind and Fellaini(two of our best or important players last season) will most likely become bit part players. Mata and one of Carrick or Schneiderlin aswell. The latter dependent on who is more in form and fit. The former, if he does not play on the right. Pereira development will go backward next season unless he is loaned out, so no need mentioning him anymore.
feck me, he may be in decline or whatever, but we've made one hell of a signing here. The guy is easily one of the top 3-5 midfielders around at the moment. If we can get a 2-3 good seasons out of him then this might go down as one of our very best signings ever.
I keep thinking that it's the type of signing Fergie would have made -- a bit like when we signed Larsson, only more impressive.

Blind and Fellaini aren't good enough to play in our midfield long term, so that would be pretty ideal.
Not unexpected. He's the best midfielder in our squad now. Comfortably so
