Bastian Schweinsteiger

Ancelotti seems to favour Joe Cole as a CAM rather than a winger, and Zhirkov is capable of playing LB. That really leaves Malouda as the one out-and-out winger, and he can play in a withdrawn central role as well, or behind the strikers as a third forward, as he did at OL.

confused now ..same posts as on joe cole thread

only problem being how we fit Joe Cole, Malouda, Zhirkov, Bastian in wings?

Well you can take Zhirkov of the equasion because he only plays on the left. Quite frankly, we probably would have stepped up our interest in him as a replacement for Malouda if the rumors were true that he was fed up with us about not playing enough. Obviously he wasn't, so I don't suppose he's worth signing. Not at £25 million anyway for that matter.

hate this arrogant and ignoratn wanker, totally overrated, him and podolski couldnt live up to the standard that was expectet from them... such a shame that daisler had to retire so early, he would have been the best german footballer now and would be in his best years... but if we buy this cunthead his only place would be the bench, waste of money

Now that the departures of JC and MB are more or less confirmed, rumours are going to flood in with possible replacements (we don't need any but yeah..)

The Guardian have sparked this one, they don't give much detail, just that we'll battle José for him.

The only Bayern player I'd like us to sign is Toni Kroos, other than that, no ta.

[BomTrett 50]

Do people really not want him? I think he's a like for like replacement for Ballack and i'd like us to sign him. Maybz not for 25 Mill though :s

[True_Blue 469]
