How many Players from the german league come here and make it its avery little percentage.

 

how many players actually come here from Germany

 

 

ones that spring to mind

 

Hamann

Babbel

Ziege

Lehmann

Mertesacker

Ballack

Hargreaves

Klinsmann

Berger

Riedle

Pizarro

both Boatengs

I'd say that lot were mainly good (I think we can all spot the major exception) although only Hamann and Klinsmann can be considered brilliant

You forgot the legend that is Sean Dundee

[A.V.B.]

Have to agree with Dirk hes crap is Kuba he looked ok a few seasons ago well he looked ace but players have got better and he hasnt Dowing is better just unlucky

 

Downing better than Kuba? I've heard it all now.

 

Pace, the ability to take someone on, end product or Downing.

[PaulMcC]

Berbatov has done all right, too.

[Phoenix]

Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse aswell

Well its a fact that Downing created more golscoring chances than anyone in our league last season shame we had noone hat could finish because hed of probably of been classed as a awesome signing.

Think you mean the season before last, dont you?

Stewart Downing: Of players in the England squad, only Baines (67) set up more goalscoring chances in the PL this season that Downing (55)

[Babb'sBurstNad]

What do they consider a goalscoring chance though?

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Last season, Tim Howard (the Everton goalkeeper) had more goals and assists than Stewart Downing.

[lifetime fan]

Good job caught offside have nveer been right about anything. Ever.

 

They have us chasing Nicklas Bendtner this morning.

Such a bullshit statistic, isn't it. The same statistic we based the signing of the players on. Unfortunately, that's just what you get when you you base your purchases on Codesque stats.

Dead right mate, I'd rather trust what I see with my own eyes; I saw nearly every game we played last season and my eye's are telling me that Downing was shite.

[Chocoholic]

Hes not shit.

 

Not a word beater, but he isn't shit.

 

Hes better than any winger we have - in fact he would improve a fair few top PL teams.

 

The scrabble for his signature in the transfer countdown will determine how many clubs think he's wordy of a place in the Premier League.

[fowler9]

What do they consider a goalscoring chance though?

 

basically any pass that leads to a shot counts, so everytime he passed to Adam within 30 yards of the goal that was a goalscoring chance

[TheHowieLama]

On Bundesliga targets, seen a lot of Fabian Johnson from Hoffenheim as he has started to play for the US - was injured last night so did not get to watch him live. Smart, tall and fast with a great delivery from the left.

Downing reminds me of a dog that's been saved by the RSPA on the TV Advert, a shivering whimpering little shithouse, the dogs got a reason to be that way, that cunt is on 70/80k a week and does fuck all, I haven't really took a dislike to many players other than Diouf but I really hate this twat.

I wouldn't say I hate him but he drives me fucking mad, I know plenty disagree but he is actually a far better player than what he has shown for us but won't try anything because he is a big fucking jessy

[A.V.B.]

Shouldn't be too hard to catch him, he's slow and runs in a straight line.

[Liverpoolway]

Im going to need a Code72 Diame stat breakdown, obviously.

 

An interesting stat from the 09/10-season: Diame won 173 tackles, more than anyone else in the PL and two more than Mascherano.

[A.V.B.]

Hector Herrera anyone?

 

"We have a sort of deal between the two clubs, in that Liverpool would be the first in line should the player emigrate to Europe. There's no formal offer yet, only interest, no verbal agreement or pre-contract. Liverpool's people came to Mexico on a general scouting trip, there's a declared interest in Herrera."

 

Cant say I've ever seen him play but "winger" sounds like a good start!

[Red Banjo]

So where is Dzagoev going to end up after the Euro's then? A good tournament last time got Arseshaving noticed, and a big move a bit later - seeing as CSKA are on a bit of slide - surely its only a matter of time before they lose this kid, he looks class.

The problem with bringing Russian players over is 2 fold -

 

They don't always too well abroad (generalising I know!).

They get paid very well and have much lower taxation rates at home, so unless we are going make him one of the best paid players, I'd be surprised if he comes over.

Wikipedia: Borussia Dortmund

On 6 June, Borussia Dortmund officially confirmed on its website that the club had agreed terms with CSKA Moscow for the transfer of Dzagoev. The midfielder agreed personal terms with the club and passed a medical examination. The transfer fee was rumoured to be priced at £10 million, while Dzagoev will receive a weekly wage of around £50,000.[140] . This is because departure of Shinji Kagawa to Manchester United .

[Red Banjo]

Borussia Dortmund have officially confirmed nothing. Except Mats Hummels contract extension - which in itself is a real shame. Wikipedia isn't exactly the most reliable place to search for transfer gossip.
