when did Klose become footballa-non-grata

virtually ALL the big boys in Europe are looking for a top striker

Real, Barca (until Henry signed), Milan, Juve, Lyon, ManU, Chelsea (with Sheva leaving), Liverpool, Inter, Arsenal...

every name from Huntelaar, Anelka, Treze, Tevez, Forlan, Torres.... is mentioned for outrageous amounts of money

the only one forgotten is that of the World Cup top goal scorer



Werder want 15 million Euro, ie £ 10 million for the lad, which is a steal

so where's the interest

We need a manager before we start thinking about signings, besides I'm not sure if Klose & Ruud would be compatible, wouldnt be a bad sub though

Would be a good signing for Arsenal, but I don't expect Wenger to sign a 29 year old.

Isnt Klose going to Bayern Munich ?

I;m not so sure.

He may want to so that he can give Walcott and Bendtner room to grow into the forward role if they prove good enough.

By signing Klose it would allow Wenger to gradually fade them both nito the senior squad

the days when you would get a Dutchie to do it with style are LONG GONE

Nederlanders have become flairless efficiency driven football robots (Ruud, Makaay, Kuyt...)

Klose is the TOTAL PACKAGE

entertainment + goals + assists in a Polish body with a German soul

will you get rid of Raul now

who's going to be your other striker alongside Horseface

according to Rummenigge who is confident, Klose will join in the summer of 2008.

He has been in contact with Lyon as well and didn't immediately say NO. Werder would love to sell him to any club but Bayern, but where does Klose want go himself?

I'ld be in favour for exactly the reasons you mention. But just don't expect it.

On the other hand we've signed players before, without any rumours partaining to them beforehand. so who knows.

Klose, the leading scorer at last summer's World Cup, appears relaxed about the situation: "If it does come about that I end up playing for Bayern next season, I'd obviously be delighted about that as well."

If he can go as a free agent, Klose might be able to get a ridiculous salary/sign on bonus.

Raul wont be leaving, he will probably play as the 2nd striker just behind Ruud.

Ruud, Raul & Soldado as our strikers and if Schuster comes he`s asked for Saviola so i guess that would pretty much have us covered.

Johannes XIV wrote:Isnt Klose going to Bayern Munich ?

Bayern are only prepared to pay 10 million Euro this year (the idea is to humiliate Bremen)

next year Klose is free on a Bosman

Miro has already said that he will play for Bayern either this or next year, but nothing has been signed

meanwhile, Allofs at Werder has terminated transfer talks with Hoeness , saying the 15 mill were non-negotiable

time is running out since Allofs won't find a replacement quickly

Klose has said about a 1000 times that he would like to move to one of only 5 clubs in Europe

presumably meaning: Real, Barca, Milan and two of Inter, ManU, Chelsea

but there is no way his life at Bremen next season would be pleasant

the fans like chrissi and blut HATE him for wanting to join Bayern, the players like Frings, Boro, Wiese also say he should leave

Klose HAS TO LEAVE Bremen now, otherwise, his Euro 2008 could be in jeopardy

therefore, clubs like Liverpool or Arsenal or Lyon should have been serious options for a year or two

I just don't get why no top clubs are moving in for him; at least discussing the option

yesterday the Observer suggested there was speculation of Lahm joining Chelsea: this is bullshit, of course, but why does nobody produce bullshit about Klose

The british media aren't interested in Polish footballers

Maybe the top clubs are already satisfied by their strike force , if not they could be other alternatives

Klose-- Makaay ---- Toni --- Poldi --- Roque

Wow!

Actually, I am very surprised too... Klose = Toni IMO and I am very surprised that Juve or Milan are not after him... Inter already have 7 strikers, we need to sell a couple of them now, not buy...

But Klose will be an excellent Trez replacement... and maybe even a Sheva replacemnet...

I hope Bayern get him!!

We had a serious interest but him and Bayern dicked around, so we dropped it.

Not regretting it now...Henry is more versatile and better even though he cost twice as much. Age is the same.

I am surprised no big clubs are after him, I assume its because his CL record isnt anything special and big clubs dont really rate international goals as an indication of a players quality - probably because you dont play teams like Saudi Arabia in top leagues. If they did, David Healy wouldnt be getting ready to play in the old divison 3 next season.

Another world cup top scorer, milan baros is playing at aston villa. Unfortunately being world cup top scorer doesn't mean anything in the league as he won't be playing against the likes of saudi arabia.

Doesn´t Baros play for Lyon?

With regard to Klose, I guess we would sell him to a foreign club for just 8-10m Euro now...15m+ is just the price for Bayern.

hes gone to bayern..kicker.de..

Klose to Bayern. A bolt out of the blue.

dont panic! wrote:hes gone to bayern..kicker.de..

Bayern confirmed the news.
Allegedly they pay 12Mio€ which may rise to 15Mio€ on clauses depending on Bayern's success.

Hmpf, considering Bayern´s behaviour in this matter we should have demanded much more...

Seriously ?!

It was inconceivable that he wouldn't go...

The Werder fans think he's zum kotzen (and rightly so) : his situation at Werder was impossible, he simply *had* to move.

I'd expected the price to go even lower, seems like the Werder board has done some decent negotiating

Holland's topscorer next year will be Makaay

....will it be for Feyenoord or PSV though...

Just the way the news suddenly came. The situation at Werder was an impossible one, was it so inevitable that Bayern would be the destination though?
