MUNICH, September 1 (Bundesliga) - Bayern Munich general manager UliHoeness says his club will not be making any more transfers before theend of the deadline.
TheBavarians have been linked with wantaway Tottenham striker DimitarBerbatov and Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Anatoli Timoschuk, butHoeness says he is happy with the squad coach Jurgen Klinsmann alreadyhas at his disposal.
'We are not going to dip into our funds anymore,' he revealed to Premiere television.
'Wewill keep hold of our money and see how the team develops between nowand the winter.' Sunday's 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin, Bayern's firstwin in the Bundesliga this season, may well have been enough toconvince the Bavarians to put the cheque book back in the drawer untilJanuary.
Goals from Luca Toni, Bastian Schweinsteiger, PhilippLahm and Miroslav Klose earned the defending champions a comfortablewin at the Allianz Arena on Sunday with Klinsmann allowed to smile forthe first time since taking over in the summer.
'Everything went right for us and we could even have won by a greater margin,' he said.
'The team did everything we asked of them from the beginning. We forced the goals and they did us good.
'We are slowly getting into gear.'
According to club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the return of Italy international Toni made the difference.
The31-year-old had missed almost all of the pre-season due to a calfinjury and he looked out of shape last weekend when Bayern only manageda 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund.
But, fresh from his recall to the Italy squad on Saturday, Toni was back in form on Sunday.
'It is important to have Luca back because we have more quality in attack with him,' Rummenigge said. |
