https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1UUd2uttvA another vid featuring almost all his goals for Bayern. Ironically the video's title is "complete striker" which he as the video shows clearly is not. All of his goals, except 2 are on touch finishes inside the box, the other two he takes 3 touches. He is a poacher. A very good one who can also link the play up, but he still remains a poacher. We could have used a decent one in most of our losses this season, but this does not alter what Mou has said: he wants a striker who offers more than that which is why I can't Mandzu being first choice. Also I don't see why Mario would be better as 2nd choice than Lukaku, who is much stronger anIMd faster and is better on the counter. IMO in a Luiz-Mandzukic swap deal we are the ones who end up on the losing side. Luiz has more class as a player. He can play RB, CB, CDM and CM. Even though he is not worldclass in any, he often perfroms world class in big matches. His performance against PSG home was monstrous, he bullied Arsenal all the way, he was great vs ManCity. also he has a classy guy who is great for the teamspirit. We should not sell a player whose best is yet to come to an CL rival. If we need new strikers, we should secure the first option first. then consider if Lukaku should not be first choice and then look if we buy Mandzukic but do not give Bayern a player we need as much as them but buy him.

it's from january

amazing vid. Why have i never heard of that player? What a sharp, combative beast he is. He next to matic and we would probably never concede again. Anyway, conceding has not been the problem. The problem is rather we need a player who can slice through the opponent's midfield from deep, multiple times per match, as this is what we need to complete our team. I have not seen enough of this guy, to say he can. Rakitic might be a bit closer.

With him, Kalas, Luiz and Azpi we will have the fastest defense in the world. True, there are players with better tackling and defensive positioning, but one has to admit he does work his socks off. We shall not play him in the same team as Lamps or Mikel, cos all three have a very pedestrian defending style. Apart from his pace, his early crosses and throughs also look damn good.

Dude, I was one of the best players in the 3rd and 2nd Luxembougish division and I am about the worst footballer ever. Of course league strength is a major factor. A few years ago there was a striker who scored more than 50 goals in Estland. Never heard of him again.

He is good, no doubt, esp when it comes to scoring and assisting he is more consistent than e.b. Oscar, but eh also plays in a much worse league in a team that plays for him. Surely there is a reason, he has never played for Brazil

His finishing, positioning and killer instinct is on a really high level, also he has the perfect age. He really reminds of Eidur Gudjohnsen, with his calmness on the ball and his preference for placement, lobbed and delayed shots. Other than that, he has no signigicant strengths nor weaknesses. His link-up, shot power, pace, strength and stamina are all quite decent, but nothing special. Those high-scoring Dutch strikers are usually 15% likely to become top strikers. He is surely better than all our 3 strikers of last season, but not much.

Ba will surely leave so the worst of our 3 strikers will remain? Probably only because there is little Mou can do about it, as Torres will surely continue to receive his exorbitant salary a further 2 years, cos he will never can anything close to that anywhere else. That is the only reason for him staying. He does not give a fuck about his career anymore, no he is not Spain international anymore, he just wants to get as much money from the club as possible.

Please Atletico, Milan, someone take that cancer away from us. he has cost us millions and titles, it has to end .

Ricardo Rodriguez, Moreno, Shaw, all won't be cheap, but their price will probably in that order. Rodriguez is maybe 1 year ahead of Shaw, but 3 years older, if that makes Shaw worth double is another question. IMO neither is ready for Chelsea. Better keep Cole for another year or bring back van Aanholt. Defensively he is maybe not quite as good, but his pace is so immense, when a striker gets past him, you can be sure Patrick catches him again.

Rom is the best under 21 striker in the world. The question is not, is he good enough but will we give a young striker a chance

yes. The players lives for his highlight reel. A nice pass or a freekick every game and void in between. Turns up for one moment, or is invisible whole match - just like Ibra.

If he and Bertrand leave we need two LBs, so we have to recall van Aanholt. Anyway, sad to see such a legend leave, but I can see why.

Pat Roberts is a 78 year old republican Senator for the state of Kansas.

no, he doesn't Anyway, the point is he first has to prove himself in a stronger, league, but he has as much talent as Eden, just not as much pace. He has quadrupled his market value within 2 years and has become the best player in the Belgian league.

Schweinsteiger, Özil, Neuer Andrea Pirlo, Francesco Totti, Alessandro Nesta, Favio Cannavaro, Gerrard, Giggs, Scholes, Rooney are the most obvious cases that come to my mind

We don't want a player who "isn't as bad as people are making out" or "only has been playing in a shit team" of whom "we might have seen a different performance" We are Chelsea Football Club FFS. Only the very best have a place here. If we buy a top CM, great, if we give a youngster a chance instead even better. But we fuckin don't need mediocre players, cos we coincidentially already got too many and are trying to get rid of them.

Paulinho is so shit, even his highlight reel is pathetic. When Ramires finds his form again,he is heads and shoulders above Paulinho. The only Brazilian CM, I'd consider to sign is Hernanes, even though he will be 29 this month. Lamps is 10 years older than Paulinho, still has better stats. Even defensively. Lamps has more clearances, blocks more shots, intercepts more often and is less often dribbled past (and Lamps gets dribbled past a lot, cos he never tackles), Offensively lamps has less turnovers, more precis shots, more assists, more goals, and is harder to disposses, also he has more key passes and chances created. Why should we sign a player, who is so average, that even in his prime he brings less to the game, than a 36-year old, who does not even make the bench here regularly.

Good the idle wish of Bundesliga dominance in Europe is now were it belongs - dead and buried. German football will not win another international trophy until these wankers learn that money is not the most important thing in football - it's titles. German football is in exactly the state it has been in 2002. Bauern facing a period where there is literally no competition, all teams rolling over when facing them. Hence they will be led to believe it will suffice to keep the aging superstars like Robben, Ribery and sign some mediocre ones to compliment them. Which will surely suffice to win the Blindenliga more often than not , but they will not get anywhere near a CL semifinal in the next 10 years or so. Then they will see what their balanced corrupted money laundering accounts and 70% posession are worth. In 1 year, we will be so high above them, those bitter cunts will have to spent another decade in our shadow, and thanks to FFP there will be no petrodollars to moan about.

should have featured for us much higher, given that we often had to play iva or luiz at cb hence changing the backline completely, when he just could have come in. People say it is easy for a CB when his team defends with 10 men behind the ball, still he was on his own a few times. I have seldom seen such an athletic defender. He could easily be a decathlete. Not only his leap, but when Stirling ran at him, he had about 1 or 2 yards on Kalas, still Tomas was able to recover at to get first to the ball. Let alone Marvel Wynne, Kalas is one of the fastest CBs I have ever seen.

why would we need Khedira? Ok, it would be really great to have a 2nd useful DM. But he would only be backup to matic, cos honestly, he is not as good. In the days were FFP at least can mean a heavy fee, 20m is too much for a backup. I'd much rather have a competent partner for Matic. IMO it was a shame we didn't go for Cabaye, cos he is exactly the ink of player we need to have beside Matic ( he could also replace Mata at the freekicks ). On a different note, if our deal for Costa fails, why not sabotage BVB's Ciro Immobile deal? we can easily overbid them without even making a too great effort. The player, apart from his disadvanatgeous name is quick, strong and has a better technique than Costa. He is combative and clever. Maybe not the same killer instinct as the Spaniard but still decent enough. + he probably has a higher ceiling.

spot on. In that case, Costa would be the ideal signing, cos everyone here hated him before we got linked to him. Maybe he will find his form cos there is not so much sympathy, cos sympathy makes it easier to fail. Anyway. I noticed that in recent years we usually won trophies wearing some (in my opinion) rather ugly kits. The boring 2011/12 with that everyday blue and horizontal stripes, 2009/10 the mix between bra and armour, 2009 the FA cup in that horrible mustard-yellow, 2005 and 2006 we had those extremely loose fit umbro kits.

Turn off Fifa. Neither of them will change clubs in the summer. Bayern don't sell players in their prime anyway.

Rolls Reus is by far the best player in the Bundesliga. He can shoot, dribble, pass, finish everything. Best German AM I have seen since I watch football. i wanted us to buy him before Dortmund did for a ludicrous 17.5m €. If there really is a buyout clause and we activate it, he will come here, provided we give him shitloads of money. But we could have had him easily in 2012. Question is whether we need another AM, when we have Wizard of Os, Schü, Salah and also Marin, Moses, Piazon, Atsu etc waiting for a chance. players like willian are simply too good to be backup.
