Claudio Pizarro @ Werder Bremen pt 2 (R)

There is nothing wrong with wanting more money if you are ready to challenge yourself somewhere else where it is harder. That is only logical. I would have been completely fine with Farfan asking for millions if he actually wanted to go to places where he would be more challenged than at Schalke (e.g. Juve, Liverpool).

My point is - after ending with Bayern, Pizarro could have easily grabbed a place in a mid-table German team and become an undisputed starter. He could have done that BUT he went for the challenge at Chelsea, where he knew fully well that he had no guaranteed place. He failed and THEN he returned to Bremen. If media stories are to be believed, now he is looking for yet another challenge, not staying complacent. Even at his age.

Farfan took the easy way out in my opinion. Pizarro actually tried to make it big in Chelsea BUT Farfan didn't even try ("In Juve I would have to start all over again"). I give Pizarro props for that.

All deals are money motivated. Some to a large degree, others to a lesser degree.

I think Pizarro values more an sportive challenge than Farfan though.

Good on you Pizza for trying to keep on playing european football.

Would be sweet if he went to Malaga, since RvN is retiring. But apparently he is going to stay in Germany.

Pizza needs to go back to the EPL. He has a score to settle. Besides, a guy with his build/style works best in the Bundeliga or the EPL...I don't think he's technical enough or has the dribbling skills to make it in La Liga. Another upside to the EPL is that he would have to bust his ass every week and that would only benefit the NT.

Lol...de que hablan estos, si Pizarro es mas que el malazo de Gomez:

Ta claro que siguen amargos con lo ocurrido ayer.

jaja asu mare en ese foro hay 10 passats

creo que en ese tiempo Pizarro era el "roro" del especial del humor. un divo antipatico.. despues en el Bremen mas maduro

They want Van Pierse as a reinforcement? They are dreaming, Bayern is not THAT big...

pero si tienen a Lahm, Shwanstiger(sp?), Ribery, Robben...jugadores A-1...Van Persie quiza un escalon mas arriba pero no esta tan lejos.
quiza tu dices grande por el billete? el City si quiere compra a Van Persie y para mi el Bayern es mas grande en todo. quiza no en el billete

Pizarro in his prime > current Gomez

Can you imagine what he would have done if he had Schweinsteiger, Robben and Ribery setting him up?

Por la plata y porque la diferencia entre el Bayern y el Arsenal no es tan grande como para atraer a un jugador extranjero que es figura en el futbol Ingles. Estoy seguro que el Bayern le podria pagar su sueldo al contado. Pero simplemente no lo veo a Van Pierse dejar el Arsenal para irse al Bayern.

bueno Van Persie, Drogba, Torres .. todos ahora estan para el Madrid o el Barca...seria mejor para la competencia internacional y para la Bundesliga que uno de estos llege al Bayern...los Espanoles se llevan a los que quieren y hacen una liga muy desigual

Si uno de esos jugadores llega al Bayern estare muy impresionado.

No pasa nada con Gomez. Bien por Pizarro ojala fiche por el Bayern, aunque le comprometeria a su record de goles si lo tienen como rol de suplente

Estoy de acuerdo en que Pizarro es mas que Gomez... pero el malo de Gomez tiene algo de todas maneras. Un iman o demasiada suerte, pero siempre esta creando peligro. Se pierde como 5 goles por partido pero siempre hay la sensacion de "ya viene el gol de Gomez"... y viene.
