The poll is finished and it's time for our take:
Here, we agree with you. There is a close margin between "satisfied" and "unsatisfied". The fans are on the fence and so are we, but we lean more towards satisfaction than not. https://twitter.com/bayerncentral/status/1351575083735773193

Why? Mostly context.
The season after a treble is historically difficult. The pandemic and the crunched up calendar don't exactly make it easier. The team is in a good position despite the Pokal elimination, and will have time to improve for the business end of the season.

We've had some months to evaluate Bayern's transfer activity by now and, again, we agree with your verdict.
Save for Sané, who is still earning his place, the transfers have been all but underwhelming. Sarr isn't good enough. Costa is a bit lost. https://twitter.com/bayerncentral/status/1351575085187014662

These are not the sort of signings you make when you have to compensate for losing Thiago, Ivan Perišić and Philippe Coutinho.
Again, we understand the context and the financial problem. But that doesn't mean the sporting deficit shouldn't be pointed out.

"Attack" won this one by a country mile. "Results" came in second. We'd swap those two around. Bayern have eked out results out of games they didn't really do much to win. And against Augsburg, they really should have scored a couple more. They didn't. https://twitter.com/bayerncentral/status/1351575086860525568
As much hate as he got in our mentions during and after the Kiel game, we find no reason to rate Hansi Flick's performance as anything other than "good". When the team is in such a slump, there's no way you can say he's been excellent. But he hasn't been bad either. https://twitter.com/bayerncentral/status/1351575088244662281
Bayern's problems are about the same as everyone else's. Financial hit due to the pandemic, physical hit due to the crunched up calendar.
And the reluctancy of club leadership to dish out for real quality players cost the team.

That's not to say that they didn't make the sensible choice in being careful about spending. They did.
But Salihamidžić's work was underwhelming to say the least. Sané was, by all indications, a done deal in summer 2019. The others have failed to impress, to put it generously.
