Toba is the only one bitter about Kroos's exit you halfwit! Most of the other posts you see related to Kroos are used to rile up Toba and nothing more and in that instance Myself, Lordave and Dayokanu are also guilty of that, only an accomplished ret@rd like yourself is capable of confusing it for bitterness. So comot from my circumference. Ewu ara

A40:
Chimooo!! So rather than admit you made a honest mistake you would rather tell more lies than OJ Simpson when he was on trial. You are a big phucking disgrace!

Eediot!! Not only was Gomez taken to the World Cup but he featured in at least 3 matches so you are still a liar and a very dishonest person. You can't possibly be a servant of God as you claim hell even orisha worshippers do not lie this shamelessly

A40:
Are you ret@rded? Why do you keep asking these dumb questions?

A40:
Who does not know that 98-04 was when German football was at its nadir posting worst performances on the International stage and twice failing to get past the group stage even getting humiliated at home by England of all countries. Even the WC Final in 02 was unexpected as all Die Mannschaft had was pretty much Ballack and Kahn

As at Klinsmann's era how many World Class players were available? Just Ballack! Even before the World Cup it was not expected for them to get the semi-final and go two minutes away from forcing penalties vs Italy

A40:
You asked if he was elite and what was my yardstick so I listed players that were better at the time! Stop being an eediot! The debate was not about Germany because if it was I would not be listing players that were obviously not eligible for Die Mannschaft

Between Euro 2008- SA 2010 Mario Gomez would not be listed among the top 10 strikers in Europe that is all I know. Make of it what you will I'm done educating your slow a$$ on this issue

A40:
Have you asked yourself then why no big team in Europe including Bayern wants no part of Kiessling?

A40:
Blaming Boa-TANK is not credible when I could point out 3 other players who were not even marking anyone in that play! A set-piece for that matter. Also as we found out at the Euros a little over a month later Badstuber would not have done better

A40:
The coach came out and said he is bitter Kroos left? Of course Kroos fanboys are ok to whine about his exit they can even go one step further and join him in Madrid! I however fail to see the use in lamenting about a player who has left and is no longer Bayern's business

A40:
Not worth my time sorry

A40:
Phillip Lahm played at CB? Abi you can't read? I said CB, LB and RB it seems English is your achilles heel maybe I should post in Yoruba next time

Friedrich did not play at DM in any major tournament. I remember I was specific about the position in review so stop displaying your poor understanding of English as I never said there weren't players that could play at other positions

A40:
You mean Mertesacker had cold from the 30th of June till the 13th of July? You are an embarrassment!

A40:

- Glad to see Badstuber complete 90 mins and compete at a high level. Toba's chicanery aside it felt good to see him play after 20 months and no true Bayern fan can argue otherwise

Lordave: Dortmund is a useless club

They don't have a good fanbase outside of Europe, yet they keep doing everything in German. Even ordinary facebook update they don't interpret in English.

I don't see the reason why Reus won't extend and maybe still be a Dortmund player in the next 4 years. Is not like they mayn't make the UCL, they are regular contenders. He would be silly to leave BVB for, let's say, even Barcelona.

Draxler is our ideal potential replacement for Ribery. I don't see Ribary playing for Bayern next season

barackohandso: [/b] I doubt they'll sell Reus to Bayern, after Goetze and Lewy, it's gonna worsen the already bad relationship between the clubs and competition in the league

toba on August 21:


lastly before i go, this young chap Bellarabi didn't do much during Braunschweig loan, but he's really impressed since returning. Leverkusen won't miss Sam. I wish Bellarabi will improve as the season kicks start tomorrow

A few days before the end of the transfer window offing at Bayern another new signing on. On Tuesday afternoon the German record champions agreement reached with the AS Roma on a change of Moroccan international's Mehdi Benatia. About the transfer fee agreed both clubs silence.Benatia will come in the coming days to Munich, there to attend the sports medical examination. Then, to sign a five-year contract of the 27-year-old central defender

toba: I guess Pep would have to come out to tell you personally that he's not happy that Kroos left? No one is lamenting, we are only doing a review cos Kroos is gone and no more with Bayern. One can always reminiscence and put scenario into perspective. I posted an article about how Pep felt about losing the Player. Life must go on, Just like Madrid after Ozil

toba: Next time, you'll shut. You're not a reporter or a journalist, but trying to say a news is false without having an empirical proof to make such claim, is equal to playing to the gallery

toba: Abeg shut up. We were talking about versatility, which is what led to you requesting for a list of players that have played 3 roles in the back line. Its not out of place to inform you that lahm apart from playing wings backs also played a third role in the midfield. Arne Friedrich also played couple of roles in major tournaments, just as Schweinsteiger and Lukas podolski.

toba:
Ask Joachim low, who said his players had cold. Only him would explain better the reason for leaving Mertesacker on the Bench in the subsequent games. We say what a fit Mertesacker did for Arsenal on Saturday

toba: Im sure it must have pained you really hard to see him come back so soon, cos i can remember you ignorantly argue that how sure I'm i that he can regain fitfulness to pair Dante. I said by January 2015 at most. Opening day, he's back. Shame on you

raumdeuter: Benattia for half the price of David Luiz is a steal
That explains why we are the most financial savvy club in the world

At the beginning of the summer Sabattini told everyone Benattias left leg was worth 33m, now we bought the whole body for 26m

A40:
I don't know about steal sha but looking at our net spend its still in the black so I guess I can't complain much! Not in a summer where Man Yoo have spent over £120m for dross
When is Alcantara coming back?

toba:
youre still not saying anything here Young man. I simply asked what you mean by talent. From 2000-2006, Germany had no talent or what are you saying?

your point is

A40 said
Are you comparing that era to the Ribbech/Voeller and Klinsmann days when Die Nationalmannschaft was seriously lacking talent and options were fewer

---

What do you mean by lacking talent?

toba:
Smh. So your yardstick for elites is to compare a player with other established stars in the world? SMH. I guess Klose that scored 5 goals at the 2002 WC most also be an elite player since the likes of Batistuta failed to score as much goals as he scored.

toba:
A player must have to be wanted by Bayern and other Big teams before he can be considered a big player?

toba:
The question is, who was marking Drogba at that point? Badstuber or Boateng? Which french player was marking Hummels in the dead ball situation that led to the goal? If Badstuber can be singled out for the Euro 2012 Italy goal, why not Boateng for the Drogba goal?

raumdeuter:

Alcantara I think is coming back in September

Read the below from a CHelsea blog about Benatia admittedly written by a biased Morrocan

http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2014/8/17/5997829/the-indomitable-rise-of-mehdi-benatia-an-introduction

Also Roma fans are mightily pissed that he left them they are replacing him with Manolas

But getting any defender for 26m nowadays is a bargain thinking of how much other defenders were sold for this window. Even ROJOsibe that no one knew about 2 months ago was sold for over 20m Euros, never mind Mangala or calamity Luiz

Personally I have only seen like 6 games of Bennatia including the ICC tour recently and cant make a judgment

A40:
Are you literate at all? Why do you always display such a blatant inability to read between the lines or use your own initiative? Even the entire DFB decided to rebuild from ground-up around that time-frame yet this mugun is asking me what I mean by talent

You can ask google what talent means while you are at it

A40:
Whoooaaa! This guy is a suegbe oh! How does the Klose analogy work here? I'm sure Mario Gomez as at Euro 08/SA 2010 had the kind of repertoire Batistuta had prior to Korea/Japan

A40:
A player that cannot sniff his national team and cannot court the interest of other major clubs is not a big player

A40:
It doesn't matter who was marking Drogba, Boateng is not solely at fault for the Drogba goal and if you insist he is then Badstuber was also solely at fault for Balotelli's goal and unlike Badstuber the Boa-TANK has already more than made up for his 'error'

toba: Simply admit you don't know what you're saying. No qualms. The Dfb rebuilt without a resort to some of the old players right? That's why I'm asking you what you mean by the German National team was lacking in talent. Your understanding of what talent means could be different from what every other people knows.

toba: Before you give yourself HBP, when did Klose join the National team?

toba: Really? Smh, even if the coach has preferences for some players?
