barca didnt need a player like masch for 99% of the games. he is solely bought to beat highly skilled offensive players, thus i fully expect him to be on the pitch from the start, very likely alongside busi.

That last sentence very nicely sums it up, but i disagree on putting Xavi above Iniesta regarding his importance for the team. Actually i take both for absolutely integral and key to get Barca running. Its Iniestas simple passing and esp. running, on and off the ball and offensively as muhc as...

First of all Lahm just extended his contract at Bayern till 2016, basically committing his life to Bayern as he is about to take over van Bommels capitaincy next summer anyway. But thats not the only reason Alves' possible departure would be a major blow as there just isnt a reasonable...

Your right, but Pranjic didnt cost 15M, it was in the region of 7-9M afaik.

While i can see Thiagos potential and how euphoric the imagination of Thiagos rise to world class is, i have a totally different idea about how to develop high potentials. I think there is no doubt that Xavi and Iniesta could leave a gap through possible injuries at the moment. And i at least...

I dont really know the player as he only played a few minutes during the WC, but considering the current situation with the lack of really creative midfielders apart from Xavi and Iniesta, who either has troubles with injuries or occasionally playing in a more advanced role and the young guns of...

rumors say that he has a 6M buyout clause from summer 2011 onwards btw

bayern seems committed to neuer. even when adler was germans no 1, they apparently didnt bother going for him but neuer instead. adler also seems to favor man utd as longterm objective. neuer was connected to bayern already, but is in fact a childhood schalke supporter and now the captain. you...

Yeah, like i just wrote in the BL thread. If they really drop out of the EL (and they are currently behind PSG and Sevilla) they should be making it w/out the eurocup distraction.

hm, not really imo. regarded as keyplayers were already last year the cb couple of hummels and subotic, the cm couple of kehl and sahin and barrios up front. zidan was inhabiting the deep striker/am position and cpuldnt really match kagawas current performances there imo. at least i can say thar...

Dzeko is more complete compared to Huntelaar, but far inferior at finishing. And dont underestimate Barrios, he looks like a pure poacher, but is actually more than that. He has an enormous work rate, knows how to fetch balls, to outdribble his opponents and also how to put his team mates into...

I dont see Zidan getting into the team again. Lewandoski is taking over Zidans role, so i would expect Zidan to leave in the near future. Klopp is a great motivator, there is absolutely no doubt about it. He also seems like a good tactician, his team plays a very fast, straight and offensive...

Cesc is basically a Keita-upgrade as his natural style resembles Keitas current role, while he would just be much better at filling it out. This also makes him the most valuable transfer target b/c he is the best alternative for the weakest spot in our starting 11 ... very unlike Masch for...

Which isnt a big deal. I think its harder to win the league than the CL. Actually you have only 3-5 hard matches in the CL in order to win it, b/c its a cakewalk into the quarters and you can easily afford to get draws and even (low) losses w/out any effect - very unlike to la liga where you can...

Interesting story ... bayern totally changed their tactic and style to a much more direct approach ... suiting Gomez much better and he thanks his coach by scoring thrice.

Kinda one-dimensional player but a pure beast at what he is doing best: clearcut finishing. Imo one of the top 3 strikers in the BL currently (alongside Barrios and Dzeko).

Those who like Etoo will like Klose as well. High work rate, good finishing and is better at heading and less selfish. Etoo has a more powerful shot and is more confident though. Edit: there he scored for germany ... Edit2: i guess i should note that his contract is running out and he and...

If they just brought in Cesc, his feelings would have been alright ... i just wonder what feeling he had towards Masch ... like 'NEED TO PLOW THE PITCH MORE' ... :/

He is said to be questionable for the qualifier match on tuesday, but its apparently nothing serious.

Counter attacks when the score is even (or even worse)? ... no opponent with any clue lets that happen anymore ...
