Franck Ribery

[ZenI]

i don't think he would be a good signing for ye IMO as a neutral and looking from an outside perspective i think you should concentrate on your defense abit more ather then working on one of the best attacks in the world and if he does sign what would that mean for Henry and Eto'o who have both been very good four ye this season!

i think ye need a new Left back and a world class centre back to partner either Pique or Puyol both of whom i don't rate that highly i also think you should add depth to your squad..look at the depth we have for example he right back potion we have the following players to choose from when all fit..Brown.Neville.Rafeal.O'Shea.Hargreaves there 5 players that would do exelent jobs there when called upon ye don't really have that!

i think if you sort out them two areas ye will be the best team in the world no question

You are both right and wrong Our Offense is our defense you know. It starts with Eto'o, Henry, Iniesta, Messi stressing the defence so we win back the ball before it gets dangerous for us. Even Alves and Xavi helps out with that. The 2 CBs, our LB and DM is our safety in case something goes wrong. With more/better offensive power we automatically don't need to defend. But it's crucial that our players can hold on to the ball in attack so we don't get counter attacked, and I think that Ribery is a player that could only make us better.
But when you say that our defence need some more depth, I totally agree with you. We should have (and will have) backup for Alves and Abidal. And as for CBs, we have (or he actually was) one of the best CBs there was - Milito! But we will see what form he has when he comes back from his injury. But Sylvinho is leving us next season so we are going to get a new LB. We're probably send Caceres on loan and get a new CB and I hope we're getting a backup for Alves. But If we get a new CB, we can use Puyol on the right. Also if Milito doesn't get back to his old form, we will probably sell him and get another CB.

Bayern aimed for Wenger too. And if I'm not mistaken, Ancelotti was a candidate too. As was Mancini, Schuster, Advocaat and other coaches. And yes, you AIM for Ribery, but we GOT Ribery arty00231: Real can aim for everything they want, as could do every team in the world, but truth is- you can't get everything you aim for. The rest can't compete in Europe? What about Lahm, Ze Roberto, Klose, Lucio? Bayern are just too predictable- left flank does it all. Right side absolutely sucks. And do you think Gourcuff, Hleb, Llorente, Misimovič, Rafinha, Enke, Adler are bad aims? Do you think Madrid's Gago is better than Tymoshchuck? Do you think Raul is better than Olič[Raul is legend, I admit that, but he is not same, old Raul anymore, while Olič has AMAZING workrate, can run much faster than Raul]. Do you think Cannavaro-Pepe/Metzelder are better than Lucio-Demichelis? Do you think Hainze is better than Lahm[ :grin:]?? You have better GK, right flank! No disrespect for Madrid, I don't hate him, but I think they aren't SO much better than Bayern. I guess, it's the same level.

well if you want to be honest .. then you should know that non of Wenger-Ancelotti would consider you now.. it's a step down from EPL,Liga & Serie A .. only lower league managers & those who aren't in demand would consider your club... wake up & smell the coffee ..why not try for Mourinho or SAF ? and WOW Mancini & Schuster ... awesome.. i would suggest Lother Matthaus & Hristo Stoichkov.. if you want to aim , aim big..

this is what you don't understand EPL,Liga , Serie A > German league... much bigger ..
I'm sorry but Ze Roberto , Lucio,Klose with all due respect are not what u make them at all 2 of them already over the hill.. they can be good to u cause you have a weak bench .. they are have beens .. if they were any good as the "Fame " name suggest you would be flying high in the German league.. not on par with 4-5 teams.. who have less bigger names but doing as much as u do ..and not crashing out in UEFA cup when u were clear fav. and our own small club Getafe almost took u out in their first season a team consisting of ex-Madrid youth that the manager that season *Laudrup * had to ask our boy De La Red to lower his technique expectations and game to be on par with his team mates..

and yes i think Enka,Llorente,Hleb are bad aims.. and no you won't be getting Gourcuff or any of the targets of big teams cause the German league is a step down for anyone looking to improve his career..
as for the ridiculous players comparison .. while your at it I think Lass Diarra & M Diarra piss all over Tymo... and guys like Tymosh. is the best Bayern can hope for tbh .. u can't compete with big teams if they want the same player don't kid yourself mate

Heinze better then Lahm ? my answer is no but which Lahm ? cause this season Lahm is hardly any better if we are talking about solid defensive full backs
... but i do put the improved Marcelo close to Lahm if it's just about attack

it's nice u mention Raul - Olic.. but neglect Higuain-Huntelaar & Ruud.. which u have no one on the same level or even close
but just to validate your point 29 year old OLIC who is a year or 2 younger then Raul has an impressive 13 goals in all local competition WOW.. while Raul who is having a shit season by all accounts scored 21 goals in all local competition so wow again.. Olic must be way better then Raul .. or maybe he scored some invisible goals and made some brilliant stuff no one but you saw.. back up your absurd claims amigo and hey that's coming from someone who really hate Raul

yes actually Pepe-Metzelder are a little better then Dimichilies - Van Buyten & Lucio and way younger ..and man Lucio can't defend even if he tried.. give me a break Pepe is the most committed defender in comparison
we have a better GK, RB , DM's,CM-LW, CF's
so i really like how when u compared squads u didn't mention Higuain-Huntelaar-Ruud-Sneijder-Robben-Marcelo-Diarra-M Diarra..etc ..but nice try nevertheless u'll improve in time

if any teams is buying players from Bayern Munich they would go for Lahm-Ribery.. full stop.. u have no one else..
but they would check Iker-Ramos-Pepe - Metz (funny cause u actually one of few teams who would buy him if we are selling ) M Diarra-Lass Diarra-Robben-Higuain-Sneijder-Huntelaar

it's also very funny that the player who flopped in Real (VDV ) are one your main targets.. that's how competitive Bayern is and that's as far as your ambition go

so i'm sorry but even in an institutional crisis and couple of bad years in Europe i don't even consider putting Bayern on the same level as Real or even Valencia/Villarreal/Seville ...u maybe richer then some of them but they have better squad then you for sure

You are just too much in love with Primera liga. Real are not BIG team anymore. Yes, maybe same goes to Bayern, but Olič have MUCH bigger workrate than Raul. Raul just can't help in defence. Olič can score beauty goals, he can miss chances[as anyone can] and be in his own halfs after some seconds. Klose helps much for the team. Only Toni is the man who makes Bayern attack looking bad. Lass is good DM, but M.Diarra is not as good as Tymo. Anyway, I have a feeling that Lorik Cana is CDM we should have signed. VDV is not one of our mine targets Diego is.. LUCIO CAN'T DEFEND? Where did you hear that? Then say Pepe can't defend too.. Because both of them can defend, if they are good on attacks doesn't mean they can't defend. I think Real won't reach 1/4 finals in CL AGAIN. But Bayern should be able to do this. You have crappy coach, crappy CM and only one good flank- right. Looks you just can't admit RM is bad team now. And about UEFA Cup- What about Milan? Weren't they strong favorites to win UEFA cup? And who knocked them out? German team. WERDER bremen. Team who sits in MIDDLE of Bundesliga table. Bundesliga should go ahead of Serie A in UEFA rankings and get fourth team in CL! Actually, Enke is great goalkeeper. Number one GK in Germany national team[he and Adler are joint first numbers]. Why I didn't mention Sneijder, Robben, Higuain, Marcelo, Lass? Listen, I really like all those players and I don't think Marcelo/Heinze is better than Ribery/Lahm. Robben has potential to be one of the best players WHEN HE IS FIT. Sadly, but he is injury prone. Ruud is out for while, I even forgot about him M.Diarra isn't that good to mention him here. Hunter? Hard to tell. He is not scoring many goals. I liked him when he was at Ajax. How many goals he have in RM? Peace, Beast, I'm going to the bed, let's just wait and watch who will make it further in next seasons Champions league!!!!!

 

[Beast]

M Diarra is a monster mate.. it's a fact M Diarra hasn't lost a league title in 7 years .. .. you really haven't seen much of Real apparently ..
wonder if Tymo can live up to that fact

Hunter has scored something like 8 in 11/12 games before Ramos stuck with Raul & Higuain
again u really can't judge a forward by his work rate.. u buy a forward for one reason to score goals.. work rate are for midfielder & defenders..
I admit Real is in bad shape now.. but that's due to upper management screw ups.. Bayern is bad with stable & good upper management that's the difference.. we can improve my friend u can't let me ask a public question would a promising /big player chose Real Madrid or Bayern Munich .. (leave your biased and own team preference alone ) the question is known

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

reiniksrobis is right. Real are not a big team any more, just hanging on to past glories, many of which were won by corruption and intimidation, as you well know but will never admit. Bayern could give Madrid a hiding at the moment and I have to say that the current state of La Liga is not far off the standard of the German League.

 

[Metaphysical]

ok so sometime tell me, did beast just said tymoschuck gets pissed all over by lass?!

come on beastie, there's only one DM that pisses all over tymoschuck and he's called diarra and plays for real madrid.

wait, I see how you got confused now!

seriously, I fear when djila returns next season because he can make even your laughable defence look competent. my only hope is your president is a retard who isn't impressed by his lack of ball skills and so goes with lass over djila. and given your president will be perez, and given perez hates raul, and given raul is the only reason djila is still at the club, I am hopeful!

bundesliga gets great attendances and has close and constantly changing title races. I should think they don't care if they can't attract superstars to the league. it may not be the best football but if it's fun to watch why should they care? the all-german wafer cup semi was awesome stuff.

 

[Metaphysical]

Do you really believe him? players always say that when some big club are interested in them...

ribery especially.

he's a fucking merc.

he can go to real. he'll get bored after a few years and try to engineer a move to arsenal or united or whatever.

 

[Barca_Cunninggate]

I think real madrid are also interested in Ribery aswell

 

[barca7788]

marca says the deal is done betn ribery and madrid

 

[Beast]

if I'm choosing between Ribery & CR.. i would pick the first for many reasons including more hard worker and better crosser .. that doesn't mean CR is bad.. he is a top player.. but i don't like paying zillion euros for one player and if we have to then it's Kaka who we need more not CR

 

[Nándor]

isn't more like AS???!!! haven't read anything about that on MARCA today, but sure on AS

same here...ribéry is way better than CR when it comes down to being a team player. CR got blown way too much sugar up his ass by the press. he seems to believe once he ain't on the pitch, the world of football comes to an end. the money for CR would definitly be spent better on kaka' plus gourcuff.

 

[mmandela]

Can't wait for the day when you can visit the offical website and you'll be told he is actually a Barca player (if that happens)

I want him in Barca so bad... And I'd fear to see him in Real

 

[nebeer]

I hear that Barca have already made a verbal agreement with Bayern that Ribery will sign for us in this window. In return Barca are going to offer cash + Hleb + Guddy (if necessary). As the relationship between Barca and Bayern is really good, we may even loan out Bojan to Bayern so that he gets more time on the pitch (if Pep decides that Bojan should be loaned out, Bayern are the likeliest club to get him). I think Bayern entertained offers from Madrid about Ribery only to raise his price a bit. We would get him.

I do hope so anyway, if he proves a sucess (and let's hope he would be in a Barca strip) then the front line would be able to be rotated more while still being very potent whatever combiniation is put forward.

 

[Quash]

Dunno, that's the second time Goal.com have said that. And the first time, Hoeness came out and said they weren't thinking about Hleb and Ribery said he'll consider leaving if Bayern fail to qualify for the CL. Now they have qualified, they might be a lot more reluctant to sell him.
