He's got a very weak shot. Almost like a girl (and with those legs one would expect a very strong shot). As a trequartista most of his shots were coming from outside the box and were an easy catch for the keepers. Playing as a SS and shooting more from inside the box, will undoubtedly improve his scoring record.
That kind of bugged me last season because he was quite good at shooting while he was bossing in germany.

Why do you smilie laugh?

He had a good world cup and all of a sudden you want to swap him for Diego?

I mean i know he's had a decent season with Bayern too, but that doesn't mean he's better than Diego. Diego was a beast when he was playing at the Bundesliga too, Muller isn't half as good as Diego was at Bremen. So what makes you believe Muller would do better at Juve?

Yes, I would swap them.

Diego's reputation, outside Germany, lies in his performances with Werder (Was ist gruen und stinkt nach fisch?), but within Germany his stock is not so highly held. In fact few I know are surprised at his on and off performances with Juve, as he has always been that kind of player.
I doubt he will ever be more than a good player: I doubt he will ever be a World Class player: I doubt he will be with Juve next season.

I don't doubt that he'd never be a world class player. He's not that good, and when he first came to Juve i thought people overrated him a lot.

I don't know how and why people didn't think highly of him at Germany, but he was always one of the best in that league. Muller hasn't yet emulated Diego's form at Bremen, he had a great WC but i still wouldn't swap the two players. Next season everyone will see how overrated Muller is. I'm not saying he's not a good player, but i don't think he's the top class player people think he is after the WC.

I bet people won't think that highly of him one year from now.
