If we’re going back 40 or more years I’d like to add Uli Stielike, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Bernd Schuster and Paul Breitner. 

Breitner spent a couple summers at band camp -- German through and through

If you're including the Welsh then you can stick Bale in there - back in his left back days.

Des Walker had a crap time at Sampdoria.  You should probably have Platt, who had a great career in Italy.

And don't forget Vinny Samway, Las Palmas legend.

Chris Waddle was excellent for Marseille.

Hoddle not quite so good at Monaco.

Ince did pretty well at Inter.

Wilkins, Hateley and Luther Blisset at Milan (maybe not so good).

Souness at Sampdoria - and Trevor Francis.

Didn’t Tony Woodcock play for Bayern Munich?

[Jairzinho 20,516]

Klinsmann, Podolski, Metzelder (admittedly fucked off after a season).

 

And of course Robert Huth.

You're welcome.

One for the older forumites , but John Charles is still revered at Juventus as one of their best loved players.

 

Just checked with Wiki - 155 games - 108 goals . not bad for a guy who could play centre half as well.

Generally rated at the time as both the best centre-forward and best centre-half in the world. 

[Trumo 12,180]

In the early 90s, nearly all the best German players were in Serie A. Inter had Matthaus, Brehme and Klinsmann, and later Sammer. Juventus had Hassler, Kohler, Reuter and Moller. Roma had Voller and then Hassler. Lazio had Riedle and Doll. Fiorentina had Effenberg. By the mid-90s I think all of them were back in the Bundesliga. In the late-90s, the likes of Ziege and Lehmann went to Milan but struggled, as did Heinrich at Fiorentina. Bierhoff was the only German of that late-90s era to be successful in Serie A, and he was virtually a nobody before moving to Italy.

Woodcock was Cologne I think?  

 

Dont forget Alan McInally 

[Ne Moe Imya 2,907]

Joyce (so, the club) has just posted on twitter that we'd listen to bids north of 25m for Lovren. Also says Milan's new DoF is a big fan (though also confusingly saying that there's been "no contact" yet.

 

All I can say is KA-CHING! Would be great to get another young CB with potential to develop as our fourth CB, or, and hear me out here, take that money and go trigger Alderweireld's clause. I think that'd be a brilliant option - he's a top player, and yes, he's older and somewhat injury-prone, but as a player to slot in alongside Virgil over the next two years while Gomez continues to develop to his full potential I can't think of a better choice. Matip to serve as a great emergency option fourth-choice.

Yeah, you’re right there. 

[magicrat 5,566]

Are we buying anyone ? 

Given we are in a gazillion competitions next season might be nice to have another striker at least oh and that Dutch kid that plays alongside VIrg would be nice.

I was daydreaming about the mighty reds, as I do from time to time. And I started pondering about the fact we don't have any German players, which I thought was quite unusual. 

 

Are they all shit? Are they not suited to the way Klopp plays? Are they all kuntz? and Klopp can't be arsed with them? 

 

Really gets the noggin' joggin'

 

Matip is German. People often forget that.
