Bastian Schweinsteiger

[didierforever 7,349]

Neither had a host of injuries before they came.

i have seen bastian play many times in the last 2 years (since he became injury-prone). the injuries have not affected his class one bit. he is still a world class player.

if we are considered about him getting injured, then i agree its a bit risky, but totally worth it.

[didierforever 7,349]

he isnt similar to any of them, once teams work out they need to put a player on him and not give him time on the ball, i can see him struggling, especially when he has slow players like Rooney and Mata making runs in front of him.

i think you just described cesc, but whatever. if only marking a player like bastian was so easy. dont know why most teams dont follow the exact tactics.

That's precisely what I'm saying. His body is broken and its difficult to predict whether his body will be able to adjust to the pace and physicality of the Prem. I have no doubt he can play, its whether his body can handle the rigours of this new league... at 31.

Bastian Schweinsteiger to #MUFC on a 3 year deal is imminent with the German earning €13m (!!!) per year.

We have Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic - the best midfield in England and maybe Europe ?! What Schweinsteiger people ?!

Cesc???

Bastian was never the only weapon for Bayern and Germany, at Man U they will try to make him like Scholes and control games, i cant see that working out to well for him or Man United.

Bastian will do great individually if he stays injury free, The quality of CMs in the PL is so poor i have no doubt he will do great things. Also his familiarity with LVG makes this a no brainer, he will be used correctly unlike ADM or Falcao.

As for United, i still think they need more work especially in the ST department for me to take them seriously as legit contenders.

Fuck Man U.

are u kidding me. they have mata, ADM/herrera, rooney. so many ball players through which the attack can be concentrated.

they had rvp and falcao last year and relied on fellaini to save them instead...

fair enough. but its still worth the risk. 14mil pounds for a WC player. even if he plays half the games for united in the season, he will be worth the money.

13m a year for 3 years as well....

yet to be seen. I like his experience and his desire to play but this only looks good if they grab someone like schneiderlin if you ask me.

Wow what a signing for Manchester United and Van Gaal! People who say he won't improve their squad are living in denial. Ridiculous how FIFA affects the logic of football fans, 30 year old is far from old in modern football. Terry will play few seasons, Robben might play another five so get over the fact that 30 is some magic age when football stars become worthless. This summer there won't World Cup either so he will have some much needed rest to get his fitness worked out.
