Lukas Podolski anyone?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

All the talk is that its Man City who are after him, but seeing as though Bayern are prepared to let him go out on loan, I think it has to be worth shot at us trying to get him here until the end of the season.

 

When I've watched him for the German national team, he hasn't seemed a bad player, and when you consider at the minute we're missing Martins, Smith hasn't even scored yet, Viduka has been largely underperforming, Owen could get injured in a split-second and, well.....Shola doesn't bear thinking about, we might as well throw our name into the fold.

 

After all, we're not wasting any of our precious kitty, just whatever proportion we'll have to pay of his wages.  And if he's shit we can just send him back to Germany in the summer!

we got carrol as well.... but on a loan, sure ill take podolski

[shevfa]

We should go for him...

[Norwegian-Geordie]

Hell yeah! If City can get him, then surely we can!

 

I would love it if Podolski came. Him and Owen/Martins together... 

[BONTEMPI]

Yep him and Buyten in a double swoop please

[Swissmag]

No way. Klinsmann has drawn up a list of existing Bayern players, which he definitely wants i his team for next year. Podolski was more or less on top...

[Tisd09]

There is a report that he is available for loan and I would like to see him here for a few months plus we are not wasting any of the kitty.

[junkhead]

Podolski has a quality left foot, but his form has been terrible for a while now.. i'd rather try somewhere else

We made a bid, it got knocked back cos of the above...

 

However Klinsmann isn't there for 6 months....in the mean time...

[Guest AceDeuce]

no thanks.

he is crapppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[Guest Vigge]

Option three was irresistable  go on SHoooooooooooooollllllllllllla

[Thespence]

Been a bit of flop at Bayern. IIRC he is a dwarf, we need a mobile big man that is decent.

Great player, but on loan? Not interested.

 

All that does is improve someone else's player. We've got Martins and Owen as midget strikers, let's concentrate on getting them to the top of their game before we bother with anyone else's players.

 

Even if he came and did fab, we'd still not make europe, and we should be safe from relegation regardless. So there's no point getting him on loan IMO.

5'11", hardly a dwarf.

 

He is good for Germany but shite for Bayern.  It would be a risk and I'd rather just spend big bucks on a top class striker.

That is why I put IIRC, I could not be bothered to go & search at the time of typing.

Sven has tried and failed to get him on loan, SSN reporting that this morning..

While Martins is away and while Owen is shit/injured/not interested, i'd take him on loan.

 

It would do us as many favours as it would them.

 

Podolski & Van Buyten double loan deal.

Agreed! I hope we can get someone better, if not what we already have is better imo
