at your club ?
are their any BIG NAME superstars at your club that are sensational in their own way , but ultimately BAD for the TEAM ?
that seemingly, on paper, are the envy of all the other clubs, but really, just suck the oxygen out of the team by hogging the limelight on or off the pitch ?
yesterday, I read a fascinating/shocking stat
it concerned the , arguably, best striker in the world
KLOSE
the Pole is currently at the top of the CL top marksmen list, but seems to be stuck in a rut in the Bundesliga
at Bremen he broke all the goal/assist stats, and then kind of got worse, once Diego joined and cut off the supply lines
at Bayern, Klose is now playing alongside Toni, who just suffocates the Pole
nearly 2 metre tall, Toni just positions himself bang in the middle of the penalty area, where Klose often used to fish, forcing Miro to now run circles near the edge of the penalty area
number of assists Toni produces for Klose: +- ZERO
the shocking stat I saw yesterday went like this
Klose scores a goal every 70 minutes for Bayern when Toni is NOT on the pitch
Klose scores a goal every 530 minutes when Toni is ON the pitch
recently, Toni was subbed by Klinsi with 20-30 minutes to go and Klose immediately scored a brace
one or two games later, Toni was subbed in the first half with an injury, and again Klose scored
-------------------------------
Toni is undoubtedly a brilliant player, but the truth is that Klose+ANYBODY would be a better combo than Toni+Klose
the giant Italian just suffocates everybody around him
you could use the same argument for Ribery, who plays like a playmaker on the wing (helped by Ze ROberto and Lahm), leaving Schweinsteiger on the right with the crumbs
Diego at Bremen is another example (allez has posted a link to that effect), VDV at HSV (without him Trochowski and the rest are finding their scoring boots)
-------------------
usually, when these players leave their club, panic breaks out; nobody thinks these superstars can be replaced
usually, it works just fine though
--------------------
so who are the primadonna big name stars your team might just about survive without ?
