Thanks to Neuer's injury it would be guaranteed to be him though, wouldn't it? I think it's a golden opportunity for Nübel to really prove that he actually got what it takes to be Bayern's No1. Certainly more so than playing for third place with Monaco. I also don't think it would be a good sign if he dodges the competition, expecting everything to fall into his lap when Neuer retires.
And I meant the wider scope. From Schalke missing a deadline to extend his contract, to making him captain, to him bombing completely, to Bayern signing him and proclaiming him Neuer's heir apparent, to Nübel suddenly realizing that maybe it's not so good to sit on Bayern's bench after all, to him now turning down the opportunity to be Bayern's No1 by default for half a year. Not that I could fairly judge him, but this story is giving me Kraft 2.0 vibes.
I mean the lad is 26 years old, he's being touted as Bayerns (and by extension Germany's) future no1, the press linked him to Dortmund before they signed Kobel and last year was the first time he actually got to play a full season as No1. Maybe he really has the talent, but looking at it from afar the whole circus around him looks like mad hype.
