Hoeneß: Gomez Was Nearly Ours
Quote:
Bayern Munich manager Uli Hoeneß has revealed that the Bavarians were on the verge of signing Mario Gomez this summer only for Stuttgart to pull the plug on the deal at the last minute.
Gomez committed himself to Stuttgart earlier this week by saying that he would definitely be staying with them for another season, but the revelation from Hoeneß that the German international was keen on a move puts a different spin on the news.
Bayern have long been fans of Gomez and were widely tipped to sign him after the European Championships, but VfB scuppered the deal by saying he was not for sale at any price.
The Bayern manager famed for his forthright opinions and the fact he loves to wind people up has now claimed that Gomez was very interested in the move only for the Swabians to dash his hopes.
"We were in agreement with him, but that is now worthless since Stuttgart called it off" he told Munich's TZ newspaper.
"I think it is a shame, but we cannot change it.
"We really tried to get him and Stuttgart turned us down this year, but next year we can start over again."
