Sule and moby, you two obviously don't watch Schweinsteiger enough. He's one of the most frustrating players. Bayern is a big club and he doesn't deserve being on a better team. He makes lots of mistakes and isn't consistent enough. He'll have his occasional good game but it doesn't happen often. He plays his best football for the national team and his good games for the German team come about once ever 3 games.

[Sule]

exactly Adi, if he plays his best football with Germany thatn y dont they let him play? In stead they put Schneider or some1 else on the right

to me i doesnt seem logical but then maybe the coaches dont like him

He starts 90% of the time for Germany. He also has bad games for Germany, just not as many as he does for Bayern. Schneider deserved to start for Germany a few years ago. If you watched the EUROs you should've notice that Schneider didn't play at all.

And it's not the coaches that don't like him, it's simply the way he plays. If he played the way he did against Portugal and Turkey most of the time, he'd be the star of the team but he doesn't. Schweinsteiger is very important for Germany because Germany lacks talent on the wings. Bayern doesn't have that problem however. We have Ribery playing on the left and then Altintop/Schweini and a few other options out there. It's not as easy for him to break into the Bayern team as it is for the German team, especially when he doesn't play as well as he does during short spells with Germany. It's easier to look good during a 4 game spell compared to a full season.

Inter said that they'll buy Lampard for 15m and Adriano - i think chelsea will say yes

Barca want Pavlyuchenko

And Huntelaar looks like a prime candidate for Adebayor's replacement - 18m

And spurs want arshavin now too another 18m bid

I think Chelsea have said yes, it's just down to Lampard..
Huntelaar is coming to the EPL next season for sure I think, it's either United or Arsenal.

EDIT:
Looks like we've snatched Berbatov for 25 mil.

[Adi]

15 million for Lampard is a steal.

Berbatov would be a very nice signing for Man U. If he can be a starter, he'll make himself a world class player.

Arshavin says he's very interested in joining Arsenal. That'd be a great fit for him especially if Hleb leaves.

[Sule]

We already got Nasri for the wide left so Arshavin could play alongside Fabregas

which would be kickass

RONALDINHO HAS REPORTEDLY SIGNED FOR MANCHESTER CITY

shocker aint it?

[manutd.]

I'm not believing it til I see quotes and photos.

I think he's going to AC Milan!

EDIT:

Not understanding this.. Berbatov or Huntelaar. Tough call, what do you guys think is more likely?
