I think it's unfortunate on all sides that everything was played out so publicly. Of course, I gave him some advice - not where he should move, I don't do that - but that players have to play [regularly]. I didn't consider a few of the summer transfers to be entirely fortunate.

Bayern Munich have drawn Bundesliga returnees FC Köln in the DFB-Pokal second round. The match will be played on either the 28th or 29th of October.

Although Bayern and Köln have faced each other numerous times, they have actually never met in the Pokal.

"When you watch the game closely, it's not always his teammates preparing the chances for him. He works himself a lot for these chances because he's always active," Kompany explained in comments captured by captured by @iMiaSanMia. "For me it's more important to score a goal in the right moment than maybe score four or five in a game and then go without scoring for five months. He's always there, always a threat and we're happy with his energy."

Despite Bayern's interest, the reigning FIFA Club World Cup champions have been adamant that the defender is not for sale this summer for any price even though they have not lost any defenders during this summer's transfer window thus far,

I went to the dressing room and as soon as I heard a little bit of talk I went away, so when I come here I have plausible deniability. I heard nothing, I know nothing. I'll find out when I get onto the bus,
