Discuss. How do u rate him? And if Tevez was to leave, do u think United should buy him as a direct replacement? Do u want him to come to United?
 
Good player, but that's about it. And he's re-signing for his old club at the end of the season anyway.
 
he's had 4 assists and 2 goals in the last two games after Klinsmann left...very talented IMO we'll see him play for a bigger club in a couple of seasons
 
Is this a knee jerk reaction from last nights performance?

Yes I rate him, but it depends what sort of price Bayern were asking or if indeed they were willing to sell at all.
 
He's a much different player to Robbie Keane.He's better technically but if he couldn't make it at Bayern then how could he manage to do that at United ?

How is he different to Robbie Keane? Both play well for their national sides, both failed to hack it at big clubs after much fanfare when they signed, both have had two separate stints at one club come the start of next season.

Because they don't play alike, which is normally what matters most when you're comparing players.
 
He'd be a step down from Tevez. I'd rather see Welbeck and Macheda rather than that overrated German.
 
Köln created a website where people can buy pixels of an image of Lukas Podolski for €25 each, in order to gather €1 million to reduce the cost of the transfer.

:lol: that's cool !

Anyways hopefully he gets back into form.
 
So what makes his game different from Robbie's then? They are both link strikers although Keane has been spearheading the attack for Spaz of late.

Keane has played as a link striker 10 times in about 2 years now.
 
He's no more ideal in a lead the line striker role than Tevez. If we are going to see the Argie leave lets hope we at least get someone who suits that role more than him.
 
I'm extremely fond of him actually. He kind of reminds me of Solskjaer, with the job he can do both as a striker and on the wing. But I wouldn't see him as anything more than a third-fourth striker for United and a valuable squad member. Doesn't matter, anyway, we don't need him and he's already signed for his previous club.

I was talking about their position and the way they actually play football.
 
He has signed for Köln already.

He's thick as pigshit.
 
He was born a Pole that plays for Germany - same as Klose - both of them a fecking disgrace!

No way do I want a traitor near United!

That's a dickhead thing to say - both were ignored by the Polish scouts and chose to play for their adopted countries when they realised no one was interest in them "back home".

I'd hardly think their parents were too impressed nor were their relatives back home in - Poland!

I'll refrain from insulting you, which is going against my will tbh, but do you know any Polish people?

I know a few, and they hate Germany & Russia and make no apologies for their racist hatred of those two nations, so the idea that Polish born footballers end up playing for Germany is an act or treachery in their book!

Although we dont hate England - well most of us dont, its like an Irish born footballer playing for England - that would rattle a few cages to say the least!
 
Do you know anything outside of the biggoted views of your few aquaintances? It would seem not. I live in Germany, know plenty of Poles, many of whom could pass as Germans and all of whom do not exhibit any of the hatred you speak of. People like you allow the bad shit to linger far longer than it should. Not everyone is so intolerant and hateful.
