Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness has ruled out the possibility of making a big-money January move due to the current global financial crisis.

The reigning Bundesliga champions have been linked with a £10million bid for Stuttgart's Germany striker Mario Gomez when the window reopens.

However, Hoeness claims Bayern are looking at the bigger picture and keeping their hands in their pockets in the new year.

"I am famously not a pessimist, but I see what is coming as very dramatic," he said.

"Therefore, I think an expensive transfer like Gomez is currently impossible due to financial factors.

"Next year is going to be dramatic and it will hit FC Bayern too.

"We have decided to rethink our strategy and step back from big investments for the time being."
