Podolski eyes City

[Goats left knee]

dont know why anyone wouldnt like him in our squad, can play left midfield or up front, super goals record for germany,31 goals in 60 games is sensational for a 23 year old - any time i have seen him play i have been impressed.
Podolski or Vassell...... tough one!

He has got a good record, but theres something about him that tells me he won't be a success with us.

And it's not a Podolski vs Vassell choice. Hughes will play Vass regardless.

 

[Ducado]

Not that good at club level is he?

 

[bluebarn]

Whether you want him or not the most encouraging thing is that top players accross Europe are now seriously considering joining us. I know that this is partly, at the very least, motivated by cash, but it proves that we are now very firmly on the radar of top players and their agents.

 

[JoJo]

He's been a bench warmer for 18 months, not keen on the idea myself.

Also no need for the Vass comparison considering they play different positions, that just seemed like a needless swipe.

Yep, we were after him the same time last year and I don't think he was quite so keen?

To be honest I haven't seen that much of him so can't really comment

the guy has got 60 1st team caps and a goal every other game ratio for one of the best internatonal teams in the world...he is 23 FFS!

fair dinkums his record for BM isnt great but he had a great record at koln give him the chances at city and i could see him turn into a top class prem striker...typical hughes kinda style.

plus we could pick him up for less than RSC

Every time ive seen him i have been impressed. i would like to see this guy at city

Really? So if we pick up three or four first teamers in January, like Podolski, you think Hughes will still play Vassell? I rather think not. Or was that just a thinly veiled (obviously clever) dig at our manager?

That's Klinsmanns fault.
