Schweinsteinger it is! BTW can we have a football quiz thread in the forum?

I dont have a problem with that,but any slightly offtopic posts from it will be deleted.

Back on topic,I think Munich will be favorites for the Bundesliga title but I also rate Werder Bremen quite highly.

Hamburg and Stuttgart have been building teams for the future. And I do hope both have a good season this time around.

A football quiz would be great!Personally i can't believe some of the scoring in the Bundesliga,an amazing amount of goals against teams like Munich.Anyway,i can't even remmeber who 'Pig Raiser' is playing for?

Bremen have a good chance if the great form of Miro Klose continues.

 

[sachin]

I'm surprised there hasn't been any offers for Klose to go to a big club.They must just see him as an Internatiopnal player...

Schweinsteiger plays for Munich man.......Klose was the Bundesliga top scorer last season also as well as the Golden Boot winner at the world cup. Dont know if he has received any offers from some clubs outside the Bundesliga.

 

[sachin]

Well then i am very surprised that he hasn't had any public offers for him.Obviously other leagues don't rate him...

Stuttgart lost 2-4 in the latest friendly game, against Freiburg. Jon Dahl Tomasson and Turkish youngster Serdar Tasci scored for us. We were without the services of Timo Hildebrand, Thomas Hitzlsperger and Fernando Meira as well the injured Dirk Heinen, Silvio Meibner and Alexander Farnerud.

Next up is a friendly against Greek side Olympiakos on the 30th.

 

[sachin]

Well you have some class players missing there,but maybe a better performance was expected?

 

[m_vaughan]

Sure was. We better improve otherwise Olympiakos will give us a big thrashing. The sad part is Ljuboja has made it clear that he wants to leave the club. If he does, it will the third player to exit since Trappa was sacked. Gronjaer and Hinkel being the other two. However with the two new Mexican signings, Pardo and Osorio, things arent looking that bad. And in the end, its just pre-season. I remember the year we finished 2nd, we had one of the worst pre-season runs ever.

 

[sachin]

I thought Ljbojoa played for PSG?Anyway loosing those players is a definite blow.Yeas i suppose the Pe seasonm matches aren't everything,but they are a good time to get yourself ready for European qaulifiers and the season proper.Good luck to Stuttgart anyway...

Ljuboja had joined Stuttgart on loan from PSG, and then signed a deal here till 2009. But now apparently he wants to leave.

Disloyalty is not to be commended.Better if you have disloyal players out of your clubs.

Man Bayern are really after Van Nistelrooy but I strongly oppose this transfer as Roy Makaay is already a good integrated member of the Bayern attack. This transfer could very well disrupt the momentum with which he performs because of the fact that he and Van Nistelrooy dont play together and I heard they had some problems between them :

 

[Maxkarter]

Heard on the radio that he's gone to Real and not Bayern, but I suppose their concern is Makaay's age perhaps.
