The Bavarians may have secured Harry Kane this summer, but Thomas Tuchel has been left bemoaning the failure to recruit a No 6 and defender
. Tuchel liked the player and spoke to him on the phone, but the club were doubtful the Scotsman would fit the bill. That door closed when Gravenberch chose Anfield, in any case. But Bayern had lost another few days in which they could have taken a more proactive approach.
“We ended up reacting and getting rushed into things,” a source at the club, granted anonymity to protect relationships, told. A naive assumption that Fulham would have suitable replacements lined up when they agreed a deal to sell Palhinha for €65million in principle completed Bayern’s woes. Tuchel accepts that a club like Bayern are well within their rights to disagree with a coach about players. But he will not pretend to be happy about the board leaving his squad this imbalanced and him holding the can.It is not hard to fathom what he made of Dreesen’s suggestion in a television interview on Saturday that he should be “more creative” with the men at his disposal and look towards promoting youngsters.
Freund, who will work more closely with Tuchel now that the transfer committee has been dissolved, is bound to revisit the transfer of Palhinha and the signing of a fourth centre-back well before the window reopens in January. Hoeness, deeply embarrassed by Bayern’s unsuccessful deadline-day scramble, has already decreed that his club need to go back to doing their homework early.
In the meantime, Tuchel cannot help but wait and improvise, being careful that his disappointment does not affect the mood in the dressing room.
