podolski isnt special. hes not even that good.
I would love us to find a diamond in the rough player that no-ones linked to, but our scouts are rather rubbish.
This transfer WILL be different
I take your point but I do enjoy the silly season that is every transfer window. It might be NEW VDV
I heard we were linked with Kaka the other day....maybe it's him? I think with the word 'special' being bandied about it suggests a bigger name than Podolski.
Podolskis club record - 230 apps, 90 goals (this season 15 apps, 14 goals).
Not good enough!!!
I would love Kaka = SPECIAL PLAYER, but what formation would we play?? It would be a good problem to have, but a problem none the less.
Just looking at Podolski's stats - he's scored just 26 in 106 appearances for Bayern. Not brilliant is it?
Chet - Not sure, but we know how Arry has a tendency to get more midfielders than are necessary. Can't see whose place he would take out of VDV and Modric.
Didn't VDV leave Madrid cos Kaka took his position and they couldn't play in the same team together? Much like how Gerrard and Lampard in centre mid was always rubbish for England.
Can't see either wanting to be back up and can't see Madrid letting us pay half his wages even IF Kaka wanted to come.
Spurtle, didn't VDV leave Real because the likes of Kaka were keeping him out the team? I'm sure VDV would not be a happy bunny.
Podolski was used as a winger come striker for Bayern though
He has been on fire for Cologne, we would be mad to turn him down if he wants the move
VDV doesn't get on with with Ibrahimović either so count him out as well...
Redknapp said: "If someone came along who we thought was special and could make a difference, we'd go for him."
----------------------
This one's straight out of Arsene's book of responses on transfer speculations.
So we can expect a Benayoun loan deal then?
Before we buy any player, we must keep the current crop of players happy, that is vital! So SPECIAL PLAYER != trouble maker or disrupt squad.
Chet I think that's right. It might be a little optimistic anyway thinking it's Kaka. I'm hoping it's a quality striker or CB more than anything. Surely Harry will realise these are our weakest areas.
RRP - Looks on fire this season but took him a while to get going (17 in 65 for Cologne last 2 seasons ). Couldn't this be like if someone came in for Defoe midway through his 18 goal season? We all know Defoe isn't always that good.
Spurtle - Thats true, but he does have 14 goals so far this season...maybe its because i watch the Bundesliga highlights every week that im going overboard, but he is a quality player
RRP - Ahh fair enough, I trust your judgement more than mine, as I have no insight into German football apart from Wiki stats
