Magic Lamps

It is incredible how deep Inter have fallen since the days of Mourinho, when they had Eto'o, Sneijder, Julio Cesar, Lucio etc. They replaced them with average ones. I just checked their squad and I do not know half of the players. This Kovacic guys is an immense talent though. Only 19 and technically one of the best DMs I have ever seen.

The tournamen is all set up for our Clash with Real in the final. Will be the first time we face them since ages.

The Milan-Valencia game set a high benchmark for the rest of the tournament in terms of level of football. The game will be our first real test this preseason, but we are superior through and through in terms of manager and squad, so we should win this. actually I would like us to win this tournament. when we won a similar event under Carlo in the USA, we ended up winning the double

I just saw how Bayern played. ------------Defense ------------Thiago- --Müller-------------Kroos Mandzukic.-Shaqiri--Robben DAFUQ? Pep is playing half the team out of position.

All these new opportunistic Bayern fasn will be pretty pissed right now. After the German media have hyped Pep's new FC Bayern with over-the-top articles about new philosophy and shit on daily basis, it is nice to have him off to a losing start. They simply don't get it. Heynckes is twice the manager Pep is. Just as is Klopp. Bayern are just overloading their team with unnecessary no.10s and forgetting that there most important assets are on the wing and they won't get any younger.

He is 6ft 1/2 which is rather short for an defender + he is extremely lightwight. Most strikers are bigger.

It would be interesting, true, but not that interesting you would not want to offload him as soon as the opportunity is there. Also it is Ramires, whose attitude is spot on. He actually gives a shit about the club and his carreer, Torres does not.

I think it is ideal. This way we can be up 6 points before facing bayern.

lol. Why that?

This Actually as defenders they are the complete opposite of each other I think Kalas simply should play RB, as i understand Wallace is loaned out anyway. I want to see him against bigger and better oppositions first to judge him as a defender. Most people would not give a shit what an attacker does when you are 8 goals up. Communication and experience will come, but his size worries me. He is sooo small, he will not stand a chance against most EPL strikers physically.

Lol. I hope he honours Carlo Cudicini's memory in that number^^

So we will soon be full strength. Can't wait to release that immense depth we got on oppositions. Must be great for Mou, If things don't go round with Mazacar you still got KDB, the best German counter player or the greatest goalscoring midfielder in history on the bench.

Exactly. i actually enjoyed being given insight into the opposition views. As long as all behave well, there is nothing wrong about it. I actually think both Suarez and Rooney are extreme cunts. Rooney surely did not mean to offend Lamps (who actually only has scored 8 deflected goals, which is less than 4% of his tally), I am sure they both get along well at England. And even though Suarez is probably the even bigger cunt, I admire his quick-responsiveness and selflessness for keeping out that Ghana goal at the WC.

Why did we stop scoring after 66minutes this could well have gone into double figueres.

Our midfield will oustcore the strike department easily. I mean we got 5 mids to one striker anyway, whilst one of our dms is Lampard... Yeah, but they do not have SAF anymore.

I wonder what is better, starting earlier with preaseason but having less real matches,less intensity and more friendlies vs shit sides like Bundesliga teams do, or starting later and having a mammoth amount of friendlies against stronger oppositions like we do.

as i wrote above. Really decent. About as good as Mikel's I think He is not particularly strong for a DM either. His strength might be more than enough for Bundesliga. But in the EPL he has to face Yaya Toure. Lol according to google search, yaya toure is one kg lighter than Gustavo. Everyone can see Yaya is twice the size Gustavo is. What do you mean? I have seen Martinez and Gustavo a lot, i know exactly what I am talking about. Of course Gustavo is not as strong as Javi Martinez....

I did not say, Rooney would be a bad buy, but he surely should not be our first priority signing nor our only target. Also in palyer per player i think it is more even. I think Mata is as good asMüller, Hazard is as good as Ribery, Cech is waaaaaaaaay better than Neuer, who is really overrated, Oscar is as good as Kroos, A.Cole is better than Alaba and I think Ivanovic-Luiz partnership is as good as Boateng-Dante. Of course their DP is very good, but also Martinez would get overrun in a faster league. People tend to overrate Bayern's players because of their success. But other than past CL winners, who often relied on few outstanding players, Bayern strenght is they got such a high density of high-quality players that fit their system, their style and their tactics perfectly. Individually, I rate Real, Barca and ManCitys squads way higher than Bayerns, but Bayern simply had the much superior tactics and better spirit. That is also why I look forward to having a top coach like Jose again. he really can show what he is all about, when there is less money but more potential for development and his personal note. He won the CL with Porto and Inter by completely outfoxing his opponents tactically. which is what heynckes did last season. i hope Mou can repeat it here.

Bayern would be fools to sell him, but they also were foolish enough to sell Gomez... Gustavo might be worse than Martinez, cos he is much less skilled, smaller and weaker, but he is still one of the best DMs in the Bundesliga. If we go for a Dm at all and do not go for De rossi, he should be considered. He is rather fast for a DM, much faster than Schweinsteiger or Javi martinez. His passing is decent, his tackling is excellent. The problem is his strengths or rather his lack of it. The web says he is 1,87, 80kg which can't be true. I am 1,90 and 80kg and i have seen him in person, he is much smaller than me, rather 70-75 kg. So if he puts on some muscle he can really become a great DM. I think is important for Brazil shows that he is a really capable, disciplined and hard working DM. All in all, he is a faster, a bit less skilled, much smaller Mikel but with bigger engine and drive, more mobile and bigger radius of action, better sliding tackles and more dangerous offensively. So in general the better all-round package.

I think this is less about FFP but more of our club looking to break even as planned years before FFP came in. Every better accountant can fuck FFP over. If we wanted immediate success like City or like we did 9 years ago, we would have no problems splashing cash. But I hate it we are not in for more. Instead of this van ginkel signing when we got Josh, Chalobah who are arguably not that much behind MvG from our own youth behind Lamps and Ramires we should really look for that De-Rossi signing or something similar who really can make an impact and brings in experience. Even if MvG as an goalscoring B2Bmidfielder shall be Lamps replacement. We do not even got a proper place for Lampard in our formation so how shall MvG fit in there??? Both, Essien and Mikel are not good enough for the holding role in a double pivot, both ahve seen better times, both are better in a 4-3-3 and both are simply not the quality we fuckin need there. And instead of just spending some odd 15m for a classy DM, which will not harm us financially at all, we fuck a round with a blockbuster 30m+ 220k a week Rooney signing. I mean wtf? With de Rossi or Luiz Gustavo our squad would be complete. BAyern won the triple last year with bloody Mario Mandzukic as striker. Ok, no one would win the EPL with Mario mandzukic, but Lukaku scored just as many league goals in less games than the Bayern striker. Even fuckin Torres scored more goals than him...I think if you had Lukaku, Ba, Torres in the Bundesliga they would outscore Gomez, Pizarro, Mandzukic. So my point is. Attacking wise we are much better off than in terms of DM tho 15m there and we are fine. 30m for a striker and we still have a weak DP. Some games last season, many games actually were lost because we had no one up front to finish our chances. But remember those 2-2 draws vs S'hampton and Reading? We were shit in these games and did not have many chances, still Ba and Lamps were clinical enough to secure 2 goal leads. Afterwards we simply got overrun and got unlucky. With a fuckin decent DM this would never happen. Remember us being stuffed by ManCity? We weren't wasteful, we did not even had real chances cos we got overrun in midfield. Last year we only got an inconsistent Torres and an inconsistent Ba. To the end of the season Torres looked at-least a half-decent player (kinda Kalou like), Ba will surely find his feet sometime and Lukaku is promising, so we already have massively improved there. In DM we are just as shit as last year with the difference being we got another average player on outrageous wages who is just not suited for that role + Lamps is a year older. So, all in all, exactrly 0 players suited for the DP.

Really? Got a coach who does not know jack about winning trophies, Ageing Ferdinand, declining Vidic, declining Evra, Fergie,van Pussy and Carrick unlikely to win them the title again inspite of a shit squad. Who will do it for them this time? Kagawa or Phil Jones? If they do not improve their squad drastically they will have nothing to laugh about, as they won't even come close to challenging us or City. I gotta feeling a barren spell for Utd will come just as 95-2007. If we and City do not completely fuck it up their era of domestic success is over. Moyes will win exactly one title next seaso: the carling cup. the community shield vs Wigan does not count. Utd will have nothing to laugh at for a while

They got a competitive advantage due to corruption. Also you never know if s.o. is prepared to take black money, they may also be prepared to spend it to buy the refs/uefa, who are corrupt as well.

messi was injured and/or out of form And it is common knowledge Bayern's dominance is built on 40 years of tax dodging and illegal donations (mostly by the Bavarian government). Of all federal countries Bavaria enjoy the most sovereignity and they think they are better than other federal countries. Hence FC bayern has been a prestige project of the government, making it as easy for them as possible. Bavarian MPs such as Strauß, Stoiber and Seehofer have had a personal attachment to FC BAyern, too, funding them with official events financed by public money. As much as the Spanish government funds Reals and BArcas success with this crazy tax rule, Bavaria funds BAyern, with the difference being they actually can afford it.

I am surely not feeling stupid right now. Rather confirmed in my judgement. i posted that and your ridiculous pseudo-scientific article does say nothing to prove me wrong. I have accompanied people on their fight against cancer and lost quite a few, I have been into cancer treatment for years, I have spoken to approbated highly-qualified doctors and they agreed with me that vegetables do fuck all against cancer. The video I posted - which is not stupid but a piece of TV culture - just had to be kinda comic relief, maybe more for me than for others but it exactly matches the situation. The guys who administrate the website and wrote the article obviously don't know jack about the treatment of cancer. So do you. This is not about being wrong or right. do you really think i would give a fuck about that if i had not lost someone. @admins: I put mediaotr on my ignore list, but it obviously does not work.

Bundesliga has Bayern, one of the best teams in the world due to unique advantages due to corruption, then there is a big gap to Dortmund and then there is a huuuuuuuuge gap to Leverkusen and Schalke and maybe Stuttgart and then there is an even huger gap to all other teams. Teams like Hoffenheim, Freiburg, Augsuburg, Fürth, Bochum, Köln and whatever shit are just unworldly underwhelming. They do not even try. It is a mircale BAyern fuck it up every other season even though their squad and their budget is 100 times that of most teams in the league. The bundesliga apart form its top teams, just like La liga is utter shit. that is mainly because Bundesliga does not even get a fraction of the TV money English clubs get. The richer German clubs compete with English bottom5 clubs for players on the transfer market. As long as this stays so, Bundesliga will never have consistent success. BVB adn Bayern were great last season, but that was an unique situation with them being lucky BArcelona were out of form and without Messi and REal and Mourinho fucked it up. Won't happen again.
