BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Should Bayern sign Lewa, there will be Mandzukic available for decent price I think. Pep just said that Mandzukic is best striker in the world, could mean something. Anyway Mandzukic was playing brilliant last season and this aswell, would probably fit here also. Would cost around 20/25mio...Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 ...Pep should pass over whatever drugs he's on.He aint best but certainly VERY good striker. His heading is top and he looks humble, hard working, team player. Underrated in my opinion, after all he is the one that has done lot for Bayerns last historic season. Afterall, he benched Gomez too. As I said underrated and wouldnt cost 40mio like Martinez or Costa or xyz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Mandzukic would be completely useless in England. Look how skinny he is. He only flourishes in BAyern because of his link up play, but that only works against those soft Bundesliga defenders. Against City and us, Mandzukic was invisible. Don't want him and his tattooed tiny twig arms here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las7 951 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Mandzukic is better than Lewandoski for Pep's system - so no doubts Pep would say he is the best striker in the World, he probably said Mascherano is the best central defender in the World in the past or Valdes is the best goalkeeper in the World I like Mandzukic but Lewa is a better fit for us and I don't think Pep will go for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewandowski should really be thinking twice before attempting to even join Bayern. Otherwise, he could find himself sitting on the bench half the time or worse, being converted to a wide striker like what happened with David Villa at Barcelona!

And when he has played on the wings or deeper, he hasn't been effective at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just because Mandzukic hasn't started recently doesn't mean Bayern are adopting a false 9 approach... There is also this thing called being a deep lying forward which Mandzukic is more suited at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Guy is 187cm and 84kg, thats skinny?no way he is 84kg. And yes he is skinny. I know it's 84kg in the internet but this guy is no more than 70kgAnd he is just as weak as he looks. Don't you remembering him rolling over the floor all the time in duels with Luiz. He did nothing in that match against us and he won't do so against any other English opposition. He just works in that particular league with those particular players around him. It is one thing scoring in the Bundesliga a completely different in the EPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Guardiola has been using Muller and Gotze as that in the last few geames I believe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Some people on here are weirdUnless you're a striker who can take on millions of players and look fancy like Luis Suarez you aren't good enough for the side. Or you have to be a big name like Falcao and cost a lot of money.Personally I think it's a great idea, Mandzukic is a great team player, he is physical and a hard worker, someone who would fit into this side. I like Demba Ba but Mandzukic would be an improvement, Ba might be a slight better ariel threat, but Mandzukic causes much more problems. We don't need a striker who scores 30 goals a season when will people realize this? We need someone who will work hard and cause stress for the opposition.Mandzukic can do that.

Torres, Lukaku and Ba are much more physical and stronger than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
