    Real Madrid (old thread)

    The IFFHS is a single old man living in his apartment (which is indeed the official adress of the IFFHS), making up silly statistics the whole day long. Nothing more. Hm, i cant really imagine Rafinha as a centre back. He is a good full back, pacy, technical and indeed solid defending i would...

    Felix Magath

    Thx :) On Toprak: he was the best central defender of germanys 2nd league last season. Very unfortunatly for him he had a near fatal accident on a kart track (where you drive go karts ... i hope that is the right english term ;)) where he took a serious burning injury. He just pretty much...

    Felix Magath

    I guess thats what Magath drove away from Wolfsburg. It must be some sort of lifework that he is seeking, something like Ferguson or Wenger have, and that he couldnt pull off in Wolfsburg. Schalke instead is a sleeping giant ... Too sad that he actually was starting to do it in Munich a few...

    Bosnia and Herzegovina

    20 assists and 7 goals in 33 bundesliga matches last season tells a lot about him. He is an absolute outstanding passer with great tactical vision and combines that with solid shooting abilities. HE would be very Xavi-esque if he just had his pace and work rate. In his Bayern times (he went...

    Player you would love to see this Winter or Summer transfer window

    As much as i would like Dzeko, Villa or Arshavin i feel like we mostly need a midfielder for the winter. Mascherano wouldnt hurt, but Cesc is still my 1st target.

    Luca Toni

    I really wouldnt mind. There is hardly any high risk involved, as he is for free. And he is highly motivated, trying to get back his spot in the italian NT. He is however just a situational player, for overload tactics vs bus teams, in the later part of the match. And its not like we have an...

    Whos the best penalty taker?

    Jörg Butt is the statistically best penalty taker afaik. Took 26 penalties during his Bundesliga career and never missed one. He also scored some in CL matches, among them 3 vs Buffon already, with 3 different teams.

    Bayern will be paired with RM, that thing is for sure. Same procedure as every year :)

    Champions league 09-10

    Van Gaals philosophy seems to be finally found its way into the players heads. It prolly also helped to stop the mass rotating within the squad that apparently frustrated and unsettled some players. Gomez seems much more confident now that esp. Toni is sorted out. Thats how they won their...

    Thierry Henry

    Absolutely, i just have the same impression. And i dunno how that comes. Maybe its the Ireland-Handball incident ... but its not like he was shape before that match. It could also be a lack of motivation after winning pretty muhc the last, missing trophy (CL). Or its the constant, public hunt...

    what team has the best defence in the world and who are they ?

    Honestly, i really like our defensive philosophy. While other teams see defense mostly in acting 'right' when the opponents got the ball - standing deep, denying space, marking tight etc. - Barca defends first of all actively by possessing the ball, denying the opponent the ball. According to...

    5 - Carles Puyol

    He was also MoM imo in last years clasico at home, where he created that first goal through a header that Etoo just tipped over the line. I still remember how he jumped off with both feet like a rocket into the air there :)

    how many eto'o will score vs barca

    I never felt that he was highly efficient in Barca too. He just had many more chances here. Regarding the vote: Many more ppl (incl. me) would have prolly voted "none" if it was possible right from the start.

    Franck Ribéry

    Nah, im sure he would be on the pitch if he wanted too.

    Louis Van Gaal

    Klose and Gomez played on the weekend. The weeks before, it was mostly Klose and Toni on the pitch. But both, and esp. the latter couldnt impress much. Now that Olic is fit again, im pretty sure he will go again with 2 wingers (Olic and Müller, or Robben if fit) and one of Klose or Gomez...

    Louis Van Gaal

    Its not really van Gaals fault. Bayern have always been dependant on key players like RIbery or now Robben (who is out similarily often with injuries). Prob is that van Gaal tried and prolly still tries to establish a playing style similar to that of Barca or his dutch teams. ANd the players are...

    Franck Ribéry

    A friend of mine (heavy Bayern supporter) told me, Beckenbauer apparently argued that they denied the deal b/c they wouldnt profit much from the 65M since they would have had to pay taxes on it. Thats the official statement. Its obv bullshit as they pumped like 80M into Gomez, Robben and certain...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    Thats actually not so untrue. Considering the missing players and the ciritcal situation, a change of tactics with regards to the available personel isnt the worst idea. Two draws vs Inter and RM wouldnt be that bad. We would still have any chances in the future to come back when the squad is...
