I simply can't get why one would bring Podolski to Juve ...

See there is the point; probably no one wants to it's all media, every blind sees that we do not NEED him, and CANNOT AFFORD him anyways.
I agree with your post, all in all. Podolski is a striker, he's playing out of position and even if he succeeds, he remains a striker imo. But speaking of him as a 'creative' midfielder is just wrong. He has nothing creative about him, but i'm not saying that to make him any bad. His strength is the head-down sprint and conclusion from long-range (or short range 200km/h shot) which is fine, but completely useless to us... He had a good season in cologne, and bayern just bought him 'because they can'. There is a reason why he's not 1st choice...

plus, he seems to have the IQ of a seven-year old. Everyone who has ever listened to an interview or press-conference with him know that. I live in germany and constantly see people laughing out loud when he opens his mouth... And i'm not saying this to be disrespectful...

If we are talking about left wingers then I must say that I can see Di Natale doing a great job as a left winger but it is pretty useless as Giovinco must be given his time to shine

BTW where does Giovinco plays in the U21 Azzuri

yea let's sign Aquilani instead

Can Podolski play Nedved rule, Burke?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

What? Podolski isn't anything that del piero is. Podolski isn't that good a dribbler (unless running past your opponent = dribble) and, as i said, he mainly has to have it from his speed, not his 'technique'. Oh yeah, Podolski is barely any creative which is enough to nullify that comparison for always.
Moreover his right foot is crap. Really really useless.

I meant that Delpie was the closest comparison in your squad.

So:

Yak - Klose
Trez - Toni
Delpie - Podo

What is "Nedved Rule"?

 

[tassard]

he means Nedved's role

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Ohh, not for a prolonged period of time. It's not his natural position.

What is "Nedved Rule"?

Nedved`s rule is never sleep with his teamates wives

 

[tassard]

Ibra's rule is never sleep with his teamates wives....only with his teamates themself

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

So I guess that Seedorf doesn't fall into the same category?

First don't forget Podolski is born in Poland,second if you remember the name Zbigniew Boniek this move can't be named as worst or whatever you called. For me Lukasz is top quality player and can be very usefull.

I know Podolski has born in Poland, but he is playing all his career in Germany. and Also I didn't say this is worst transfer, I said Juve dosen't need him cause we have much more and better options to go for.

And I also know Boniek but I said last german player, and I think I said right. Anyway I respect your opinion but I don't think Podolski is a good transfer!

behind the striker, to the left

And camels. Don't forget the camels.

Now they are talking about Quaresma
Where he would fit in our system Camo and Nedved +Giovinco
Ned+Gio no room on the left unless Gio will be played in the middle
and Camo will defenitely start on the right so will he be Camo`s sub?

 

[Osman]

Quaresma rumour is bogus (no quotes, just a lame journo saying maybe Juve would want him), but if he came, he would start on the left, Nedved backup, and Gio would be considered a forward (which I hope as usual, he isnt).

Might be, but it's no use comparing all attackers of two clubs because you end up comparing Podolski with Del Piero while in reality they are nothing alike. Thing is that with podolski you barely know what you have, in what tactics wil you use him ? On the contrary with DP you have creativity, dribbling ability and good finishing. Iaquinta is strength, work-rate, airial threat and you can use him as target man throwing long balls at him from defense. And it's not like Iaq does not know hows to bag the ball in the net either.

Podolski has the speed to try beat the offside trap (running in channels), but he doesn't seem to have the brain to pull it, as it requires good timing and tactical insight. Maybe he is able to do it, but he doesn't. His finishing has been very inconsistent, his football skills are not that (like Iaq, to satisfy others) although his long shots are very good, obviously only with his left foot. Are we gonna buy him for that, i mean what really is the extra quality he will bring juve except for a long-range threat (some might say nedved can do that too) ?

At least with Iaquinta you know what he can do and what he can't. No way i would trade him with Podolski who i rate as average, judging on what he showed the last two years in Munich, which is bitter few.

A more consistently scoring (i see the gilardino of milan in him on that issue) 'running in channels' (to use his speed) Podolski would make a different player and maybe he will be that player one day, but we're not gonna gamble ($$) on that, right ? If he doesn't like the Bayern bench for now (which he nagged about during the season), then he won't like ours either.

You are taking this way out of order.

IM NOT COMPARING THE TWO PLAYERS! I'm saying that Podo is similar to Delpie WHERE THEY PLAY IN YOUR SYSTEM!

 

[pierrelb]

all this doesnt matter. podolski has complained about being on the bench behind 2 forwards, and with trez, del p, and amauri he's gonna b behind 3. if iaq stays, it's 4. so no way he's going to come to play up front.

to buy a forward to play as a left winger is pointless, cuz this tournaments is his first time playing there. if we think we need a winger, then buy a winger. by all options, podolski to juve is a no-go.
