Bundesliga Rejects shine in the EPL

first Pizarro scores on his EPL debut for Chelsea

then Santa Cruz hits the net as well

before Hleb clinches the winner for Arsenal

meanwhile, chances are Berbatov will become the EPL Top Goalscorer this season

and Voronin already looked better in pre-season than Kuyt and Torres

what exactly does that tell you

That Lehmann is a $h!t keeper?

They are hardly rejects otto - we've farmed the best players from the Bundesliga for the last few years.

The bundesliga is just left with the soggy dregs now - championship standard footballers

Hleb cost Arsenal £10m...wasn't a reject.
Pizzaro left Bayern for free...hardly a reject.
Berbatov was 95% of the talent at Leverkusen...wasn't a reject.
Voronin left Leverkusen on a free...not a reject.
Santa Cruz was bought by Blackburn FFS...

This tells me that you lie about things and remind me of a journalist from The Mirror.

Otto, don't forget Lehman the greatest Goalkeeper in the World......MOTM against Fulham....

look guys

Santa Cruz is clearly a reject; Bayern had enough of him and NOBODY in the Bundesliga could be arsed to buy him

Pizarro: personally, I would have kept him + he wanted to stay at Bayern; but the Munich club said "NO"; ie, although a very good player, he was rejected

Hleb: nobody cried a tear after the good guy; not enough goals for his position, and seen as a difficult character

Lehmann: I HATE TO ADMIT, but, nobody cried any crocodile tears in Germany when he left either; he only became a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR in the EPL

Berbatov: agreed, money determined this move

Voronin: never had anything like star status in the Bundesliga

Ballack: effecitvely, driven out of the club by Dummenigge (Ballack said as much)

Rosicky: underperformed most of the time; seen as a talent that had not made the next grade

Boateng: gifted but Berlin are VERY glad to be rid of the troublemaker; they think they cut the deal of the century

Bundesliga >>>>>>>>>>>>>. EPL

Otto, my quote in my sig shows that you don't REALLY believe that last comment of yours

How many of the EPL's top talents has the Bundesliga stolen in the last few years?

I heard that Werder Bremen were after Stockport's Liam Dickenson but he told them that he didn't want to join a club in an inferior quality league

Wahre Geschichte

for entertainment this weekend from what i've seen Bundesliga>>>EPL

@tweedle

if the Bundesliga rejects are SUPERSTARS in the EPL

then why would the Bundesliga try to chase so-called EPL-talents

What does it take to be a talent?

If Podolski is a talent, then surely Carlton Cole is a super-talent?

ashton better start i have him in my fantasy team

remind me, lucas

a) how many World Cup + ConfedCup goals has Carlton Cole scored by which age

b) how many caps does C Cole have

c) how many goals has he scored for his country

d) how many goals of the months has he scored

much obliged

remember

a stunner in Newcastle is not a stunner in Paris, Rome or Duesseldorf

He wasn't properly match-fit. He hadn't played a proper game since May 13th 2006.

Carlton Cole usually gets a goal of the month Because he usually only scores one in every 3 months

haha, this is a good one

from the Guardian, after the first EPL game by the Paraguayan Bundesliga reject:

"Santa Cruz, 6ft 2in with power, touch and pace - inevitably dubbed Roque of the Rovers - has already made a big impact.

"I knew I had a good player but I've even surprised myself," Hughes said. "I didn't realise how good he actually was until he came through the door, and he's also surprised the lads. He's perfect for the Premiership."



the EPL is waking up to the endless supply of Bundesliga REJECTS

for an EPL manager to look at the Bundesliga in search of cheap-super-talents, is probably like for one of the Trotters going to a Church Jumble Sale in Chelsea where rich people dump last season's Gucci fashion for a fiver

Roque was never a reject - he was simply never match fit. Even if he was a reject, it was one from Germany's biggest club.

The only EPL players the Germands seem capable og buying are rejects from mid-table clubs who then go on to become one of the club's key players: step forward Mr Hitzelsperger

*cough* Kevin Keegan? *cough* He actually won the Ballon D'or twice in a row playing for Hamburg. No German playing in England has won one.

Take good care of our rejects though, some of them are pretty fragile.

We're talking about since the EPL got good and the tbundesliga turned $h!t blut

I wasn't even born in the late 70s! as far as I'm concerned, it never happened

Ze Bundesliga will be back with a bang. The biggest (European) economy with the most football fanatic crowd there is will be back at the top sooner or later, it can't be avoided.

Enjoy your place in the sun, we'll be back soon, fighting over the towels at the beach with you, to put it in metaphorical terms.

@tweeds

you are a funny bloke

why would the Bundesliga clubs PAY money for EPL players that are not as good as the Bundesliga-REJECTS about to join their clubs

it's like saying Lady Cuthrop could never find a buyer for her latest Gucci dress in Swindon, even if she tried

proof, it ever it was needed, that her Gucci dress is simply not good enough for the excellent people of Swindon

to be honest you should be the best league, biggest population, good at organisation, decent weather and great facilities. I can only think that it's the qaulity of the players letting you down

to fix this I suggest that first of all you increase ticket prices to a normal level (EPL, serie A and la liga are way too high, but there should be a happy medium), increase what the TV companies and armchair supporters pay for the matches on tv, and use the money to buy some quality foreign players, skilful ones from portugal, holland and spain, tactically astute ones from italy and hardworking ones from the EPL. You've got the german ones for penalties so should be set

Otto

I've explained this already. Bayern are the biggest team in Germany. Roque wasn't a reject - he was sold and olny because there were question marks over his fitness. He's made a step down to a club that regularly challenges for the Intertoto Cup.

Hitzelsperger's contract was left to expire, he was not wanted and only good for one thing. Now he is a first team regular for one of the bundesliga's top clubs!

If you'd asked a German who the top players were in the bundesliga previous to last summer EVERY German would have listed Ballack and Berbatov in their top tens. Where are the both of them now Rosicky may well have made some top tens. where is he now? Hell, Boulahrouz might have even made some nutcases top ten. where did he end up last season? From first team regular in one of Germany's top four teams to a player behind a 5'8'' midfielder in the defensive pecking order

a gucci dress might look good, but it is not much use in real life, a bit like Ballack

It wasn´t Liam Dickenson, who ever that may be. Perhaps you mean a guy called Michael Malcom who was supposedly invited by Werder Bremen for a trial according to some English papers. However, that trial never happened, and Malcolm was never in Bremen.

Yeah, I´m sure he did...

They're all non-German.

The only German to make the step from Bundesliga to EPL, supposedly a world class player unlike those you call a success, has flopped beyond belief.

Now, what does *that* tell you ?

@ chrissi

It was both Liam Dickenson AND Michael Malcolm. Liam Dickenson is at least in Stockport's first team. Michael Malcolm made a couple of subs appearances last season. They both sound ripe for Werder's first team but the draw of another season at Stockport was too good for them to turn down so they both declined the invite

Wahre Geschichte

It tells me that Germans prefer the sunny beaches of Spain. And who can blame them?

It's nonsense, stop lying Tweeds. There is no way in hell that Werder will sign those players for their first team, probably not even for their pretty successful second team playing in the third division. I actually haven't read anything about this so far.

blutgraetsche wrote:It tells me that Germans prefer the sunny beaches of Spain. And who can blame them?

Not true. I've heard that German's hate going to Spain - the beaches are too big and they have to bring four suitcases just to pack enough beachtowels to gain the nation a full coverage.
