Hulk has written on his twitter account that he will be team mates with Hazard next season and has changed his following club to Chelsea, according to someone on the radio a few minutes ago

Hulk plays better as a winger though.

cmonurz 19 in 40 games last season isn’t a terrible return. But of course there will be exceptions. There is some ‘cheap’ talent in the Bundesliga though.

Cisse another one.

Some of the best players in the Premiership this season came from Germany

TBM Hulk to follow at the end of the week too


Really unsure of him, he was seen as a bit if a joke until a couple of years back. A football mad Portuguese friend of mine describes him as being very one dimensional, brilliant if everything is set up perfectly around him but goes missing if not or if the opposition put pressure on him. Says his temper will bring some lolz too

Hope they are not spending too much on him


€50 million

:shock:

Probably because he had about half of them inside the first 10 matches, including 4(?) away at Spurs. He seems to be one of those players that suffers from rotation, pick him every week without fail and I would expect to hit 25 goals a season(all comps)

Simon's Church Gomez on his way out?


I'm not sure about that as Gomez signed a contract extension a month or two ago. There is also nowhere else in Germany he could go. But Gomez is not expected to be the number choice for Germany this summer because he does seem to score far fewer goals than 'he should' when one considers the number of chances he gets. Bayern's squad is also quite limited in comparison to (say) the top English teams and this is something Bayern suffered from in this season just finished. They complained again and again about Dortmund's 'advantage' having been knocked out of the CL early on and maybe Bayern are planning to develop and extend their first-team squad somewhat, in an attempt to overcome this. We will see.

So he signed for Manchester City from Anderlecht, is that what you're saying?

His misses seem to be remembered better than his goals - in a big international game, Klose will score or make the keeper work, but Gomez will fluff his lines - that's the general opinion anyway ('he's a good man to score a hat-trick in a 6-0 win' is a typical thing people say about him) - he was even whistled in Leipzig for the friendly game against Israel this week.
