Luka Podolski then. If the chloroform hadn't worn off before we'd had a chance to get him past Airport Security some of us would have had him at the Lane a good while ago.

A tremendous shot and an array of quality link up play about him that if say, ooh I don't know, partnered with Keane we'd  be on for some real magic. And No, he is not a straightforward Berbatov replacement. Deeper roles undertaken by this chap I would say, it's just he has an added ability to come in and relentlessy score.  

These days his star, certainly domestically is a little less shooting than it was. Competition from Toni and Klose often leaves him as Bayern's third choice striker. That said, this is a pretty a similar disgrace to being that of Manchester United's.

Negatives? For one, possibly our old mate Jurgen. The word 'mentor' springs to mind quicker than 'travel-agent' and so I would expect him to want the boy to stay rather than be busy faciltating his departure. Another is Juventus. Apparently they feel the same way about him.

The story eminates from express.de with the player simply responding, "That's interesting" to the suggestion that we/Juve are sniffing and bidding. So if this is merely more botty air from an agent or kosher I cannot tell you. What I will repeat is that given the security clampdown on leaks, the disinformation that's been fed to established sources and our recognized intent we are almost running out of players that we HAVEN'T been linked with this season... but it would be nice to get him all the same.

The guy is very clever. Good at his job and if we're spending money up front, he will do for me.

Id love him at the lane. One of few players that would Instantly impact on the premiership for his pure drive and goal mouth aggression.

im a Bayern freak, and trust me, he can be a bit slow. physically i mean, not retarded-like. still, he's relentlessly enamored with the opposition's goal.

If we can pull out all the stops to keep berba for one more year, sign a solid defensive midfielder, we'll have a real chance next year

Fair chance he'll miss the quarter final as he's injured his calf muscle. That'll go on top of his previously reported ankle problem. Is this a new strategy by the board, to look to buy players at a cut price because they are carrying an injury? ;-)
Not suggesting he isn't decent, but my gut feeling is I'd prefer some of the other forwards we've been linked to, and as of now have not yet signed. We may get a chance to see some more of Sergio Garcia tonight. Or simply see him, if you haven't already.

Buahahaha what a retort Blog...might want to work on those.

Postiga played in Portugal which is a relatively lightweight league compared to The premiership. The premiership is much more physical defensively, and therefore nullifying his qualities. Shame we couldnt keep him shtum at the euros four years back, Podolski plays against far tougher defenses, and he knows how to hit the back of the net, as well as mix his fellows into the game.

I say if he is willing to sign, bring him in.

What I want to know is how he came to accumulate 37 "Fan Points"? Do you get earn points for being marked down? I can't for the life of me imagine he had a previous history for making decent remarks, to explain it, either.

Someone's mother doesn't know he's on the computer again.

Still here, ODB, crapping in my sleep. It's tolerable. It's the occasional waking myself up with farts that's a bitch.

Signing Podolski would be an error. One Luka/Lukas in the team is enough, as the Two Jermaines Project proves. One of them seldom got on the pitch and the other you seldom know he's on it.

What's the deal on the club's sale, H? I'd like to say the latest rumour of a potential purchase is just newspaper-talk but, as the report comes from the Mirror, I'd be telling a lie, as the Mirror isn't actually a newspaper.

Well let's face it, Villa won't be coming our way, so I reckon another Luka on-board could be just the ticket.

By the way HH, glad to see you've got a website that won't crash my interweb...

I think the guy has a great finish but he's just one of a hundred odd strikers we've been linked with. As much as I like the odd discussion RE strikers I'd much prefer seeing us linked with a decent keeper (NOT Gomes or Hart for various different reasons).

Podolski would hardly be a bad pairing with Keano and Bent in reserve. A lot stronger than the two of them in the air and for holding up the ball.

Meanwhile who the fudge was that irritant BlogHead? Other than someone who was obviously dropped on his head repeatedly as a child...

Come on guys, stop chatting rubbish,ruining the post!!! And as for Podolski, is a decent striker but 9 goals in two seasons at munich, think we're taking a bit of a risk there, especially if we buy him as a berba replacement and look to him as our knight in shining armour?... Milito would be a far better option hes in the berba mould and could see him getting over 20 goals easy!
