Farfan to Schalke

it's official

I guess Puro will have to watch even more Bundesliga games from now on

Guererro is already at HSV

and Pizarro could return to Bremen

welcome to Germany, Puro

you'll become a better man

Indeed, welcome to Germany- he won't be seeing much of Europe

haha

Lehmann just said that he was looking forward to playing in German stadia again

he had been missing that special atmosphere

the question is: will he return his Emirates library pass ?

I hear Germany is "awesome". A friend from college moved to Düsseldorf and married a German honey. He absolutely LOVES it there. He is American from the "heartland" so he wasn't exposed to "soccer". He says "you'd love it here in Germany dude, they play lots of soccer here and the fans really go wild at the games".

Maybe I go visit my buddy in your homeland. Gotta take the missus on vacation once in a while.

Farfan says, he also had offers from Tottenham and Florence but preferred Schalke for sporting reasons

That's true. He said he really was tempted to play for Juande, that it was hard to say no to Tottenham, but that he wants to play Champions League ball. He also had no problem playing for Fiorentina, but that the new Schalke coach convinced him ultimately.

Farfán should do well at Schalke, but I'll be paying close attention to Schalke's other Peruvian, center back Zambrano. He's the kid that went to Germany with his own money for a tryout, and never came back. Apparently his videos didn't convince Schalke so he went there personally to impress them.

This must be a bit embarrassing for you Puro. All that hype, years of it building up to this moment, will it be Chelsea? Real Madrid? Barca? Or maybe a Milan club? No he's gone to Schalke in a 2nd tier league. Oh dear.

Who cares about Schalke and Farfan? News about Bremen and Pizarro would be much more interesting...

True story Otto! I would've loved to see Schalke's football directors when they saw this 16 year old kid flying accross continents with a "I'll show'em" attitude to prove them wrong. Now he'll make his debut in Schalke's pro team in '08-'09 season.

Farfán is only 23, way better than Rooney, AND will keep improving. Rooney is on his way down, but he's got English media hype. Remember the comparisons with Maradona and Pelé? FFS!

Hey man, do you want Mariño or what?

Rooney? You mean the forward playmaker who makes the european and english champions tick? What an odd thing to say.

And no we do NOT want Marino.

The idiots at Schalke should have bought Engelaar before the EC. Now the only news will be that they can´t afford him anymore...

I don't understand why some of you LIE to yourselves. Rooney is one of the easiest-to-replace players in Manchester United. Cristiano made that team champions, without him, Manchester United won't win a damn thing. Ask LRD homeboy who he'd like to lose if he HAD TO choose one player to let go, Cristiano or Rooney.

There's a $h!t load of players who can replace Rooney EASILY, and not only replace this hyped up player, they would make the Mancs a BETTER team. True story!

The stats don't lie. Man U WIN more games with Rooney than without him, he is irreplaceable. Tevez CERTAINLY can't replace him. You should stop lying to yourself and accept he is a tio player. I was once a skeptic, but he's proven himself. This isn't about Ronaldo, he is a key player along with Rooney and Rio.

Sure, stats don't lie, but it is up to YOU to realize that Rooney played the soft Mancs schedule. Your pundits will not point that out, of course not. Just like when they stay quiet when Rooney can't score against good competition, BUT let everyone know Cristiano wasn't scoring as much against the elite teams. I've got your number, I've got them "experts" all sussed out, them fucking imbeciles!

What do you mean by that? Who did Rooney avoid playing?

He is confusing rooney with tevez

Fergie sat tevez out of a lot of games last season

He's just distracting us from the fact that Farfan isn't the superstar he was meant to be, that is why he has moved to a Bundesliga team.

No distraction at all! straight up Rooney is always ready to score on Aston Villa, you should know the Mancs own Aston Villa. Rooney also scores on the Newcastles, Sunderlands, Wigans, Middlebroughs, Readings and I may be missing another one or two shite teams this hyped up player scored against in the EPL. Oh yeah, he scored against ONE good team in Chelsea when Carvalho told him "here Rooney score at least one goal against a good team".

Against a decent team like Tottenham, Rooney is shite. Farfán ran roughshod against Juande's warriors that's why he wanted La Foquita on his team, but he wants to play champions league ball.

He scored against Chelsea and Roma twice this season. So that's nonsense. Rooney isn't a goalscorer anyway, he's a forward playmaker, he's there to set up Ronaldo basically. You'll notice that alot of their play comes through Rooney. Look at those stats, assists against Arsenal, and Liverpool 3 times.

You're still distracting us from Farfan though, this has nothing to do with Rooney.
Why has he chosen to go to an easier league with less quality if he is so good? Is that what he has to do to remain in the limelight of the CL?
Why were the only offers from the top 3 leagues from Spurs and Fiorentina?
Why aren't Liverpool, Chelsea, and Juve interested?

All the signs are telling me he was all hype Puro.

how is it all hype

Schalke are a TOP club with the most fanatical support in the CL

they are currently linked with this Dutch striker everybody is talking about

also with MUTU

and the Russian UEFA Cup hot-shot

Kuranyi, a FAR BETTER STRIKER , than Rooney will ever be, would be his partner

sounds like top drawer stuff to me
