the whole world wants gerrard..how do you rate him?

Mario Gomez is one of Europe's top young strikers around at the moment.

Can't understand chasing Freidich myself to be honest. Ordinary.

Friedrich? Not the quality I'm after but it beats the playeers we were linked to yesterday. Hyypia and Stephen Carr.

I doubt ANYBODY wants Gerrard, the footballer

Gerrard, the marketing board is more interesting though

Gazza put Seria A on the map in in England

Golden Balls had Englanders glued to La Liga

but frankly, the big market is Asia these days

AIG admitted that the main reason they paid big bucks was to penetrate the Asian markets

if anything, it's surprising that the likes of Barca and Milan are not trying to buy English players as shirt sellers more

Barca chasing Neuer or Milan going for Marin has ZERO marketing effect though

ie, it's all about their quality as footballers

I can't get that link to work for some reason. Which Friedrich is it? Arne or Manuel? Neither are anything special, Roma can do better than them.

I've made my thoughts on Gomez well known already, although I hope he stays at Stuttgart this summer.

Tasci? I haven't seen him play much this season in the Bundesliga, has he been injured?

Marin looks like an excellent prospect from the little I've seen of him. I would expect him to stay in Germany though.

Merte is obviously a good defender, even if he had a disastrous game at the weekend! It would be a big blow for Bremen to lose him.

I don't think Barca should be going for Neuer yet. He still has a lot to learn, and whilst he puts in brilliant performances he does still make too many mistakes for a top club. He needs to develop at a good club, but where he isn't under quite as much pressure, and where he is playing regularly.

9th most profitable club in World Football.

Arne Friedrich

Gomez has just said again that he wants to stay at Stuttgart; but the commercial manager now admits that clubs will be lining up more and more and that he will be difficult to keep

not sure what's up with Tesci now, anglo will know

Marin is going to be a sensation but has to learn to score as well

Merte could be on his way to Bayern at the end of the season, one later max

Neuer is most the highly rated keeper talent in Germany; Sammer is 100% sure he'll be the best goalie in the world very soon; not stable enough yet though

I wonder whether Leverkusen can keep Adler for ever; surely, every single top club from ManU to Arsenal, Milan, Barca and Juve will be offering him locally raised virgins on a platter soon

And from your posts on German maidens in the past, I would have thought Leverkusen need only make the same sort of offer and Adler would have no intention of ever leaving Leverkusen!

Spurs and Chelsea are rich through owners. Profitable means what it says, P-R-O-F-I-T-S.

Currently yes, both Arsenal and Roma are top clubs. Able to purchase some of Europes elite and contest major tournaments.

it's Benfica not benefica! and they are one of the biggest clubs in the world.

If Marin goes to a club other than Werder, chrissi will have a fit to end all fits, me thinks.

Re:Tasci: Haven't heard anything about another club being interested in him for a while now.

Re:Anne Friedrich: As long as that swap means I don't have to watch him at RB in the national team anymore, it's fine with me.

Unless Barca come knocking on our door in the summer, I don't think he'll go.

dude, is that anne friedrich any good? never heard of him

Yep, I dread to think how Chrissi will react if Bremen don't get Marin!

Anglo, has Tasci been playing regularly or has he been injured? I don't really remember seeing him play for Stuttgart recently.
____________

Maccabi, Arne Friedrich is a solid enough player, but nothing special. Anglo just isn't his biggest fan.

Hmmm...since everyone seems to be in the market for Germans - can I interest anybody in Metzelder? Or perhaps Schorch? Anyone?

Ah, sorry! I keep on accidentally-on-purpose misspelling his name. Arne Friedrich is a solid centre half but awful to watch at RB. Though I guess you shouldn't ask me about him, I'm pretty biased.

@Sheffield:
He was playing at the weekend... Other than that, though, no, he hasn't featured much recently because Delpierre is back from injury. He stood in for him in the first half of the season, however. But on the whole, God, the boy is what, 20?

@Jaime:

Nah, sorry! No need for another injury prone player.

Cut a Kraut some slack it is his 1st season!

I didn't notice him playing. Obviously I was too distracted by the wonderful attacking football to notice who was playing at the back!

I didn't mean to say he should be playing more regularly, I just hadn't noticed him playing for a while and was wondering what had happened. I could well have been overlooking him when he did play anyway though!

But Serdar is a talent , great potential.

This may be a Otto thread but I wish SAF has a look out for Gomez and Neuer(Adler) and Lahm.
Go German.

Gomez up for grabs?

Monday 10 March, 2008

Italian clubs have been alerted to the news that Stuttgart may consider offers for star striker Mario Gomez.

The German international has been linked with a number of Serie A outfits in the past and the Bundesliga giants have today admitted that he won’t stay until the end of his current deal.

“We’re not so naïve as to think that he’s going to stay at Stuttgart for the rest of his career,” sporting director Horst Heldt told Sky Sports.

“It’s unrealistic to think that Mario will stay until the end of his contract in 2012, although we obviously hope to keep him for as long as possible.”

Gomez, a key figure for Stuttgart, signed a contract renewal with his current club in the summer of 2007.

Prior to that, he was thought to have been targeted by Juventus before they convinced David Trezeguet to sign a new agreement.

Fiorentina and Milan have also been associated with the forward in the peninsula, while clubs in Spain and England are aware of his talent too.

Gomez is currently at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts, alongside Italy and Bayern Munich ace Luca Toni, on 14 goals.

Is this the Gomez who was a German Under 21 international that played in that match against England in Leverkusen in November 2005 and missed a penalty that night?

Gomez isn't a typically German name like Podolski, Kuranyi or Assamoah so it's safe to assume it's the same player

Roma: Super Mario Gomez

Arrivano conferme sull'interesse della Roma per l'attaccante dello Stoccarda, Mario Gomez, 23 anni. Un osservatore giallorosso lo segue costantemente nel campionato tedesco, si può prendere con 30 milioni di euro.

calciomercato



Roma scouts have been attending Stuttgart games for the last 6 months. I really hope we break the bank for him, do whatever it takes.

AC Milan, Juventus & Fiorentina are also rumoured to be interested.

Let them fight it out for Huntelaar.

Much better day of transfer rumours on the Roma front. We've been linked with Crespo, half of the Fiorentina team, Vargas, Lorik Cana and Tiago.

Crespo has actually stated that his dream is to play with Totti before he retires:

"Here I am well and I want to stay, but the Giallorossi are a great team and it is normal to dream about playing with [Francesco] Totti in the future," said Crespo.


We all remember how devestating it was the last time Franco played with an Argie.

AC Milan do need a Van Basten for the 21st century, but I rather the new Van Basten partner Rooney .. it can work you know!
