Jerome Boateng - The Sun article

[tonea2003]

just need to paste the boateng/ribery comments on the dressing room wall
and let the players go

He was dropped recently by Bayern so that says it all really. That said his replacement is injured so he may play tonight......

He wasn't dropped because of poor form. Heynckes just rotated the defence for the Leverkusen game.

Heynckes: "Boateng has been unable to consistently perform at the highest level so far, like Badstuber has done so far," he told Liga Total. "Daniel van Buyten has done a great job for us, and that's why I made the change."

Heynckes: "Boateng has been unable to consistently perform at the highest level so far, like Badstuber has done so far," he told Liga Total.

That isn't what he told the German media.

That isn't what he told the German media.

Understandably, the packed media centre at the Säbener Strasse was keen to know whether Jupp Heynckes had guaranteed the summer signing a place in the starting line-up. “I think I'm playing tomorrow," the centre-half hedged. Heynckes was next up in front of the media, and officially confirmed the news: Boateng will “of course" start against his former club.

“Jerome is coming along really well, he's settled in wonderfully, and he's exactly the player we needed," the FCB boss declared. Boateng’s personal stats so far this term are impressive to say the least, with pass completion of 92.5 percent, and 73 percent of his challenges won. The Germany international has played the ball some 60 times per match on average, and is a towering aerial presence both at the back and at set pieces.

------------------

That is what he told in the press conference yesterday...

The other sentence was taken out of a comparison with Badstuber. And yes, Badstuber is better than him, actually the best defender in Germany - like on Sunday Badi can play 60 meter passes across the field directly into Müller's feet and opens up the game real good, does freekicks and is just the better allround soccer player. (and that is why Badstubers spot in the national squad is probably secure while Hummels still has to fight). When it just means defending skills Boateng is probably better than Badstuber.

I defended Boateng on here, but he can swivel now. I don't believe he has been misquoted, he is showing typical german arrogance. bayern may have won all there bundesliga games but to be fair there is only one team in the league and that's them.
Sick of the usual can't buy team, really? SO does that mean that bayern can't buy team spirit to because they have bought a lot of players or is it different for them?
Also, I see our german visitors are no starting to show their true colours, little sniping remarks about City, our wealth and our owners, VERY FUCKING TIRESOME.
You are the rags of germany, 1860 is Munichs team, you are despised in germany and you are hypocritical to a man from the top down to the fans.

Breadsnapper is so sensitive.

he is showing typical german arrogance.

And you're showing that you're both ignorant and xenophobic. The whole "Germans are arrogant" myth is exactly that, a stupid myth. Go and live there for a few years before judging a whole nation, don't just base your opinion on Jim Davidson's act from about 1983.

Well said.

Calm down for f##ks sake. Your comedy comments about 1860 aren't upsetting anyone they are simply ridiculous and laughable, a bit like saying FC United of Manchester is Manchesters team.
1860 would struggle to fill a pub car park at closing time let alone the Arena.
As for being hated, that comes through success, when you have won the league a few times you will be hated too. If you've any sense you won't care, let em hate.
When they stop hating then by definition you are no longer worth hating.

I have my opinions on the money situation at a lot of teams but have hardly mentioned them on here out of respect, it is after all a City forum. Obviously the odd comment has been made but the majority of Bayern fans commenting seem quite fair as do the majority of your fans.
I am not on here to insult anyone or to argue but it seems to me to be you who is throwing the insults around.

Sorry my bad, bavarian arrogance. Everyone connected to your club has wrote us off. Commentas like "we are bayern", "we have 6 players who play for the national team" sound arrogant to me. Not all germans are arrogant your right, the ones in the north are much nicer people. This is based on first hand experience of living and working in germany not by watching reruns of dads army and allo,allo.
If I offend you, unlucky not really arsed.
If I do appear sensitive it is because I am sick to death of opposing teams fans coming on a city forum, slating our club, telling us we have no spirit, telling us we can't buy success, and that we have ni history. Especially when some if the clubs they support have bought success for years.
