Phillip Lahm

KingMinger22 · 8th June 2008, 22:47

Looked superb for the Germans tonight.

The commentators said he is learning English... anyone heard this before?

Has he really only a year on his contract?

IMO Brown is more than adequate at RB and he's Man through-and-through, but if Lahm is available, we have to go for him. Or Richards, who is a beast.

Twisted_Woody · 8th June 2008, 22:47

Lahm is probably going to stay at Bayern for a LONG TIME.

Chapster · 8th June 2008, 22:52

I thought he had re-signed?

Sultan · 8th June 2008, 22:55

Lahm reminded me of Gaz at his best. He would be a very good aquisition if Nev's not fit.

We might have a hard time taking Micah of City now with Hughes in charge. I reckon Richards would be ideal replacement for Pique, and the likely departure of Silvestre. Would fill a number of position in the back four.

oleonenumber20 · 8th June 2008, 23:03

looked alrite tonight, but it was poland I expected to see a bit more overlapping on the right. Thought Gomez looked like a good front man.

sonymobby · 8th June 2008, 23:05

He was very good and got forward well but his crosses were not as good as Neville's. Then again, it's just one game.

KeyserSoze · 8th June 2008, 23:07

He played well tonight especially going forward. Im not a great fan in general though.

What makes you say that?

Hargreaves said he and Lahm and some other Bayern players use to watch the Premiership together and that they all fancied playing here.

To a German, I imagine that the Premiership is the most attractive foreign league in most cases. Germans would - and will - fit perfectly...

I expect to see a few more coming into the EPL soon..

I hope so as long as its to united

AlwaysRedwood · 8th June 2008, 23:47

I didn't follow the game too much, but everytime I looked up he was making a poor cross.

Ekeke · 8th June 2008, 23:48

Thought news was a few weeks ago he'd come to an arrangement on a new contract.

But not from Bayern, though. It was difficult enough to get Hargreaves and he even plays for England.

I agree. They're a big, proud club, and much like us with Ronaldo and Real Madrid, they'll be loath both to lose their best players to a rival European club and to be perceived as a selling club or a stepping stone for players.

AttackingFlair · 9th June 2008, 00:21

Lahm was class, the other German fullback was shit.

Raven_Blade · 9th June 2008, 00:30

He is good but we have other priorities right now.

REd FUn DevIl · 9th June 2008, 00:32

Lahm was pretty good today, anyway its just one game.

He didnt perform too good for Bayern lately but it seems he plays better when he is in the national side.

He just signed a new contract at Bayern and will stay there for more season and remember Klinsmann is their new manager and that changed his mind to remain at Bayern.

sincher · 9th June 2008, 08:53

Clemens Fritz can play at right-back as well (used to be a striker) - would be a good alternative to the likes of Alves if we want an attacking full-back. Plus he's 6 foot tall, which is good - and his versatility could also be useful as I think we're looking at backups for right midfield (Valencia etc.) 27 though.

He did.But it won't stop some people dreaming of signing him.

Instant Karma · 9th June 2008, 09:06

So Bayern will sell one of their best defenders to us ?

Fucking delusional transfer muppets...while we are at it, when will we announce the signing of Kaka and Messi ?

Kaka's all but signed according to the latest reports.

Collina · 9th June 2008, 09:41

He just signed a new contract, I think. He has had a bad season, by the way, but he was great yesterday.

Anyway, the right back position is one of the few position where we have local lads, and I don't want us to field a team without local lads.

Crustanoid · 9th June 2008, 10:22

We wont get Lahm

We wont get Richards

Hope this helps

Ballache · 9th June 2008, 13:08

that wasn't even him at his best. oh and he signed a new contract so he's staying with Bayern

Tell us who we are getting whilst you're at it, then.

MehdiMahdavikia · 9th June 2008, 15:54

I think he looks lightweight when defending personally.

Top · 9th June 2008, 16:59

Lahm is disgusting:

Evra looks lightweight ? I'd rather judge their positioning crossing and tackling when it comes to RB's. Brown isn't lightweight but still gets nutmegged by wingers.

Lahm has bags of ability, is two footed, has pace to burn and can beat men. He is like Evra on the right. Evra>Brown

They all dream of playing for Bayern though - I wouldn't expect him to leave soon.

I'm working in Munich at the moment, and I was talking to a Bayern fan yesterday who said Lahm has been useless since the world cup in 2006... Maybe he gets it together playing for Germany, but can't do it week in week out at club level....
