As for Guerreiro, HFboards search feature doesn't hit any of our discussion from months (or years?) back so I can't help your tired fingers here.
responding to the guy who said Guerreiro needed to leave because he wasn't good enough to play, at any BVB position in fact and when Guerreiro gets praised here, says "well he's not a LB".
have to disagree with Leno. Bundesliga is pretty exciting when you’re watching Bayern Dortmund or Leipzig
Kai will be off to Bayern so same thing reallyClearly he's never heard of Kai... I mean if the only entertainment you get is the race for the title than yeah, sure its "boring" but there are other reasons to watch footy. By his same logic his team is boring and sad.

agree with the title race part. Don’t see that changing in foreseeable future.

Dortmund never got more than 81 points in their history.Meh, title race was pretty close last year. It just had the predictable ending. And Dortmund have upgraded their roster with Haaland, Brandt, and Hazard in place of Pulisic and Alcacer since then. If Sancho stays I'd imagine another close race next year if Bayern start slowly like they have the past couple seasons. They basically averaged 89 points per Bundesliga season starting with their treble season and through the Guardiola years (ignore 14-15 when they collapsed and lost 3 straight matches after securing the title). Past 4 seasons they will be at an 81.5 point average assuming they win out the rest of their games this year. That's a pace that Dortmund have come very close to in their best domestic campaigns, and I think they're more talented than ever, probably even if Sancho leaves.
It's not really about beating Bayern head to head nearly as much as it is about being more consistent at beating the worse teams, and the gap in talent and depth between Dortmund and the teams below them has continued to grow wider the past few years as the revenue gap has also grown wider.
I don't know; I'm not as pessimistic that Bayern will win the title every year until their squad really does look as talented as 2012-16 again.

I think this is wishful thinking.Yep. And they have a better deeper team than they did in 2012 or 2016 too. Never said they will start alternating titles with Bayern or the title race will be neck-and-neck every year . They could have one hot year and win a title though. The level Bayern are at right now is just barely above where Dortmund were in their best seasons. Bayern won the title by 2 points last year. They clearly aren't in the same untouchable stratosphere they were those 4 years.
I think this is wishful thinking.
Last season was a fluke with bad luck/coaching for Bayern. They were clearly the best team if you look at xPts table.
I think in terms of coaching, Bayern seem pretty set with Flick. Playing exceptional style with the results to back it up. Ancelotti was washed up and Kovac was in over his head.Do you think City is better than Liverpool this year too? Do you think last year's Bayern team was the best Bayern team of the past 6 years by a significant margin, or did they have to keep pouring on the gas longer and take more chances in matches because they weren't converting their chances early and often like they're used to? Goal conversion stats vary tremendously even over an entire season. And the gap to Dortmund had as much to do with Favres' teams almost always severely overperforming xg as with Bayern's cold finishing.
This was the third time in four seasons that Bayern had coaching drama in the fall or a slow start (they fired Ancelotti very quickly before it got too bad in 17-18). And they lost 2 of their first 4 matches under Flick too. I think it's just as wishful thinking that a new coach will definitely cure their fall fever for good that capped this season at 82 points despite dropping only 2 points in their last 16 matches. If they continue to be complacent in the fall, they will continue to be vulnerable to Dortmund putting together a good full season.

I would be more concerned with Dortmund's manager atm than Bayern's.
How is it possible that Bayern is in Bundesliga so long so dominant? What they do, that the others teams dont? What must be done, to dethrone Bayern?
It is only about money?
FC Bayern is a Bavarian institution that benefits of the structures it is a part of. Money is just the logical consequence. There's no other club that could achieve the same, for example Dortmund and Schalke might have a stronger base in terms of football, but they also come from a structurally weak region and there's little they can do about that.
They buy their rivals best players.How is it possible that Bayern is in Bundesliga so long so dominant? What they do, that the others teams dont? What must be done, to dethrone Bayern?
