‘That’s not Bayern Munich!’ - Bundesliga giants criticised for Eric Dier signing & Kieran Trippier links as club legend Lothar Matthaus makes damning assessment

The 1990 World Cup-winning Germany captain questioned Bayern Munich's decision to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-eric-dier-bayern-munich-confirm-loan-signing-tottenham-england/blta5d6dccad1287b97#cscb4d867a8bd4b78a" target="_blank">sign Eric Dier on loan from Tottenham Hotspur</a> as he felt that the club needed to go after younger talents instead of signing ageing players. The reigning German champions are also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-reunion-kieran-trippier-agrees-bayern-munich-move-newcastle-reject-first-bid/blt3bee9a10a6859479#cs9fc0fd385333b89e" target="_blank">heavily linked with a move for veteran England and Newcastle United full-back Kieran Trippier</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking <a href="https://www.teamtalk.com/news/iconic-figure-tears-bayern-apart-shock-tottenham-newcastle-raids-strategy-not-clubs-way" target="_blank">Team Talk</a>, the legendary player said, "Bayern need more depth and reinforcements, but are these players reinforcements? Eric Dier wasn’t necessarily a key player at Tottenham recently. I remember Uli Hoeness (Bayern’s honorary president) once saying that, ‘We won’t be bringing in any more players who are sitting on the bench at other clubs’. The latest transfer looks different. "Kieran Trippier would be a similar case. That’s not Bayern Munich for me. Bayern should focus on reinforcements or on the young players. Aleksander Pavlovic sat out against Bremen and wasn’t substituted. When he did play, he was always outstanding. Bayern Munich have very good youth players and Christoph Freund (Bayern’s sporting director) is responsible for that. He has a good network."He added, "In the summer it was said, ‘We can let (Benjamin) Pavard and (Josip) Stanisic go and get someone else instead’, and then they didn’t get anyone else. As a result, they’ve got problems at right-back and in the centre. They thought, ‘We’ll manage that’. No, they reacted too late. The team can’t find itself."

WHAT LOTHAR MATTHAUS SAID

On Sunday, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-munich-stunned-harry-kane-flat-shock-werder-bremen-defeat-bundesliga-title-huge-blow/blta28d82b79ca6cc01#cs69d0ff54a5ae4cc3" target="_blank">German giants suffered a shock 1-0 defeat</a> at the hands of Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The Spurs loanee was included in the matchday squad, although he did not play a part in the game. The defeat left Bayern seven points adrift of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Thomas Tuchel's side will aim to get back to winning ways on Wednesday as Harry Kane &amp; Co. take on Union Berlin in a crucial Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Arena.
