Bayern keen to seal Coman deal as Rummenigge cools Gnabry interest
Kingsley Coman looks to have done enough to seal a permanent move from Juventus to Bayern Munich despite his injury ravaged season.

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed the Bundesliga champions' willingness to sign Kingsley Coman on a permanent deal.

Coman's two-year loan deal from Juventus concludes at the end of this season and Bayern must decide whether to exercise their option on the 20-year-old France winger by April.

Ankle and knee injuries sustained on international duty in November have hindered his progress this term but an impressive debut campaign last time around appears to have won Coman enough capital in Bavaria.

"At the moment we have a tendency to meet the option," Rummenigge told Fussball Bild.

"We will have our time to decide this. In principal, we are completely convinced of the player.

"But we also have to state that last season was better than this season, whereas he had some injury problems [this season]."

Another young talent reportedly of interest to Bayern is Werder Bremen midfielder Serge Gnabry.

The 23-year-old has impressed with seven goals in 15 appearances since moving to the Bundesliga from Arsenal last August and marked his breakthrough into Joachim Low's Germany set-up with a hat-trick versus minnows San Marino in World Cup qualifying.

However, new contracts for Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, along with the presence of Douglas Costa and Coman, means Rummenigge feels Bayern are well-stocked in the wide areas.

"Gnabry is a player of Werder Bremen and I do not want to make any problems with our colleagues in Bremen," he added.

"Of course we will always watch German national players, but if we do something else, I do not know.

"We are covered on the wings, with Ribery, Costa and probably Coman as far as next season is concerned."

Scrap offside? Premier League managers give Van Basten's plans a cool reception
Marco van Basten's suggestion that the offside rule should be scrapped has been met with a cool reception from Premier League managers.

Marco van Basten caused a stir this week when he revealed a list of radical proposals that could change the face of football.

Among the FIFA chief officer for technical development's ideas were the introduction of a 60-game limit for players during a season, the replacement of penalty shoot-outs with eight-second run-ups, and the implementation of sin bins and orange cards.

But as Premier League managers faced the media ahead of their weekend fixtures on Thursday, it was Van Basten's suggestion that the offside rule should be scrapped that really set tongues wagging.

"Some of the proposals are discussable, some of them I don't see any big interest in," said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

"The one I don't find interesting is to suppress offside. I think offside is what makes the teams fit together, it's a big quality of the team sport, an intelligent rule. It's very important to keep that in the game.

"People say football is too tight, too compact but the evolution of the game has always been like that."

Everton boss Ronald Koeman played with former Ajax and Milan striker Van Basten at club and international level.

"I've known for a long time that he is really curious about rules in football and looking to other sports for what we need to change to make the game better," he commented.

"We will see what happens. I think the first and most important thing in my opinion is not to change offside, but to get really important decisions in the games right.

"For that we need technology in football. I think that's the most important thing we need to change. And then we can discuss about offside, about penalties.

"It's important to look to other sports to see what we can change, but I don't think we need to change a lot."

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino added: "I understand that sometimes when you are in a position you need to try to find ideas, but I don't want a system without offside.

"If we play without rules, we have to be careful with that. I read some sentences but I don't know.

"My first impression I think is, be careful. Because in football to change the rules is a very difficult thing."

I bring to you the reflection of your longing. The passion that you desire. I enable your cortex to one day see the bare faction of your being. I am the arbiter to the unseen narrative you never understood. I am a part of you, a fragment of your distorted realm. It won't be until later where chronos will teach you what is already inside. Its futile Miss Frenzy...allow it to slide eloquently. Dont fight it the pain is too grand to take. Once accepted by the ascension you will be great, the Vikings will see the beauty before them....

Settle down, no swelling. Do not give the juices of emotion to all men. We must find compromise like two kindred spirits dancing in the wind. Only then can one truly be assuaged...
