All that stands, but so does my point as well. He needs a change of enviroment, what makes you sure he won't get consistent with us for example?
i agree he could get on his feet with us, but when ? when i sign a player i do want him to add to the team and not to be a cracked table that needs to be repaired before you can use it.
if we have the "patience" with him like we had (or had to have) with tiago, then he might show something ... but i'm not someone who would speculate on that
Without the pressure that was put on his shoulders the minute he joined Bayern?
so you are saying the pressure in juve is less than in bayern ? i don't think so.
in bayern as in juve it is always the same ... every team wants to really beat you and gives that 10% extra to get a result.
i dare to say that the pressure here will even be greater because in italy the culture is more football mad and we have papers that write on football everyday ... in germany you have "kicker" that does come out twice a week at most ... so there is a difference on the way you are monitored by the press
If you play well for the NT, you gotta play well for a club. If you don't, than you need a transfer to a different club. It's not like a number of his good performances for the NT are just a string of accidents.
as i already mentioned ... with the german team he plays against minnows most of the time ... it's easy to shine there ... but did he ever shine against a decent team like brazil, italy, france, netherlands or something ?
that is also a reason why they got players that already got 20 goals or more without being really world class players ... they just play 5 friendlies against moldavia and co and score 7 goals against them and thats where the goals come from ... fuck that
we could also play serie c teams for friendlies and boost alex' goal record to over 500 when he scores hattrick after hattrick there ... but that is no performance evaluator
Schweinsteiger is not a creative player, then again, Nedved isn't either.
that is true, but the inability to cross from the left does weigh pretty heavy on me, so i think he can not play on the left the way nedved does/did.
