BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Rumor going around that Ibrahimovic will ask to leave PSG if Ancelotti leaves.If true, he'd be a good fall back option if other options don't happen. Would only be a 1 or 2 season rental most likely, but he's still one of the 5 best strikers in the world even at 31.Ibra or De Rossi would be old school signing like from the old days with Roman when he was signing established players ala Ballack, Anelka.And guess what? We were pretty sucessful back then and with Mou back, Ibra and De Rossi would be fantastic. Both are still world class players but old enough to give place to Chalobah and Lukaku in 2-3 seasons. Also wouldnt be that expensive, 18 for Ibra and 15 for Rossi. Its a win-win English Freak and Pizy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,983 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 We should be looking for some german talent. They are surely equal to spanish talents now. More hard working what we need.The Germans haven't all of a sudden become equally as good as the Spanish because of an all German team final in the Champions League. There were and always have been German footballers as good as the Spanish. Likewise for Italian, Brasillian, English, Argentinian, Dutch, French and other countries all over the world.Look at Belgium and the players they are producing at the moment...scary amounts of talent.Just because teams from a certain league who have players mostly born in one country dominate Europe does not mean the other countries don't produce world class talent..If scouts worked by that kind of logic the World would have missed out on some of the best players in history.

Spike 12,049 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Ibracadabra just keeps on improving. He is awful in cup competitions but he only lost the league once since joining Juve all those years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severinb 309 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Dont think the board will let us spend that much on a 30+ player and pay him his 200k per week or even more.. And zlatan loves dem $$$ so I cant see it happen although I just love him as a player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany started in 2008, now they are going ahead of Spain I think. They have the hard working mentality and will destroy teams in 2014. Too much talent and experience.

Leif 6,006 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Is it official or just speculation about Hilario and Turnbull? Official!So we have to get a goalkeeper in now and register an English/homegrown player I believe to replace Turnbull's slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,983 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I didnt say just because of german final. Germany started in 2008, now they are going ahead of Spain I think. They have the hard working mentality and will destroy teams in 2014. Too much talent and experience.Am I right in understanding that your saying the Spanish team's in Barcelona and Real Madrid have dominated Europe for the past 15 years or so with Barca winning it in 2006, 2009 and 2011. Real winning it in 1998, 2000 and 2002. This having an infectious transformation on the Spanish national team from 2008 onward's. Whilst the German's in Bayern Munich have always been there with Byern reaching the finals 3 out of the past 4 season's. Well do not forget Bayern won the Champions League back in 2001 and were very close to winning it in the 1999 season also. The German's haven't just started in 2008, they have always had a strong team in Bayern representing the Bundesliga and have the second most appearances in the European cup with 29 only second to Real Madrid. There is no denying the truth that Spain has birthed the most exceptional talent who have proven to be World beater's with winning the World Cup in 2010 and the European Championship in 2008 and 2012. It's no coincidence that the Barcelona team that consist's a majority of the Spanish National team have been the most successful in club football at the same time.Now if you look at Germany's history in all major tournament's then they surpass that of Spain's tenfold. They have won the World Cup 3 times and have been runner's up 4 times since the World Cup tournament was created. They have won the European Championship 3 times also and been runners up 3 times too. In conclusion if you look at the history of the game then the German's have been far more successful that the Spanish have ever been in football. You may have not been referring to the recent all German final and the fact that Bayern has been ion 3 out of 4 CL finals in the past 4 year's when comparing the two. Though it leads me to think that you have because if you had taken these fact's into consideration then you would understand that Germany has always been a nation to birth exceptional talent's and just because of the recent flurry of success in the European club football doesn't mean it's something new. Yes Spain has experienced a purple patch in recent history and now it look's to be the German Bayern Munich's turn to enjoy their spoils in domination but they haven't just popped up in 2008. They have been there for a long time and this doesn't mean that we should all of a sudden look at German talent's because I'm sure that all of the top clubs have scouted German player's since International transfer's ever has come about.
