I think he was still checking what Neuer will do but wanted to have a #1 spot the whole season. But now the door is definitely closed for him to return
Yup. The decision to not come and fight for that spot while having the opportunity to show his qualities for half a year definitely showed that he is not Bayern material, mentality wise.
I mean… Let’s be honest, we all knew that once Neuer was back there was no real chance of fighting back. Sommer knew that and any keeper who knows their worth know that.
Disagree. If a keeper showed really promising performances while neuer couldn’t play, I think there would have been an open fight for the spot. Even before his injury, Neuer was already on the decline a bit.
Even in the best case scenario for Nübel (him playing great and Neuer performing badly after coming back), Neuer wouldn’t have simply accepted the situation. He surely would have tried to influence the media (like he did with his accident), the trainer or Uli to put him back in charge.
I’m aware. I’m not saying Nübel coming back would have necessarily worked out well for either him or us. But showing little to no interest to come back sealed the deal in my opinion.
I think that ship has already sailed when he didn’t want to come to Munich to replace Neuer when he got injured.
I know Monaco wasn’t keen on letting him go anyway but if Nübel really wanted, we would have found a solution.

So what? Performance counts at our club. If someone else performs better, he plays.
There were other factors in play too. Nubel didnt fit with the goalkeeper coach who was buddy buddy with Neuer.
