Claudio Pizarro @ Werder Bremen [r]

Bremen bring back Pizarro

Werder Bremen have agreed a deal with Chelsea FC for the services of striker Claudio Pizarro, who has moved to the Weserstadion on a one-year loan having left the club in 2001.

Peripheral role
The 29-year-old Peruvian international forward moved to Stamford Bridge from FC Bayern München last summer but found first-team opportunities hard to come by, making only four Premier League starts and featuring just twice in the UEFA Champions League. "We had been looking into a number of possibilities but this is one we had favoured for some time and we are delighted that the transfer of Claudio Pizarro has now been finalised," said Bremen general manager Klaus Allofs, whose side will enter the UEFA Champions League in the group stage. "Claudio is one of the top strikers in Europe and with him we can further improve." Head coach Thomas Schaaf added: "We've known about Claudio's abilities for years. He has constantly furthered his development and will breathe new life into our game with his wealth of experience."

'Opened the door'
The striker is a familiar figure at Bremen having scored 29 goals in 56 league appearances for the club between 1999 and 2001 prior to joining Bayern, where he scored 70 league goals in five seasons. "Back then Werder opened the door to Europe for me," said Pizarro, whose new club start the 2008/09 Bundesliga season at DSC Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday. "I had two wonderful years there. In the meantime the club has developed very well and is now one of the best teams in Europe. I hope to help them with my international experience. The opportunity to play with Werder in the Champions League greatly influenced my decision. Money only played a minor role."

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

Yea, he seems pretty darn honest in what went into his decision.

still gonna make a ton of cash?

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

That's pretty cool. We have a player in every top team of the Bundesliga, except for Bayern OFF COURSE.

This year the Bundesliga definitely will be interesting for us. And it starts today with Bayern vs. Hamburg on GOLTV.

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

dont know what team to support this season now. I just hope bayern doesn't end up 1st again

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

Good choice to go back to where he started his Europian carrer. I remember Bremen once valued Pizarro at 50 milion dollars. Lets home he does well like he used to.


Is bremen in any europyan cups ??????????

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

CL creo

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

Nice, he'll be playing with Diego.

Their forwards are Sweden's Markus Rosenberg, Portugal's Hugo Almeida and Ivory Coast's Boubacar Sanogo.

Saw Almeida in the Euro... ain't got shit on Pitzagou, he'll take his spot. Rosenberg was the leading scorer so he's not going anywhere. Don't know anything about Sanogo.

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

Sanogo jugo con Guerrero en el Hamburgo. No pasa mucho con el, pero tiene garra y es rapido. Dos cosas que no tiene Pizarro

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

Hopefully Pitzarrhoe at least gets another 10 goal min season.

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

Good decision by the Pizzaman, Bremen are in the Champions League (for consecutive years now) and are not the same Bremen he went to some years ago, this Werder is now always fighting for the best positions of the bundesliga and are also not a piece of cake in Europe.

Its not going to be easy for him though, Rosenborg has been scoring, Sanogo too in the last season, and Almeida scored 10 last season. But he'll get there eventually, he aint coming to bremen to sit again for sure. I think I am right in saying that the coach is the same he had before in Bremen, Schaff loves Pizza so that's a positive thing.

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

El Chelsea le va a seguir pagando parte de su salario, como 20 mil euros semanales. para que juegue por el Bremen.

Que buen negocio hizo Pizarro al irse al Chelsea.

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

pizarro de vuelta al werder bremen?

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

lo mejor ke le pudo haber pasado imaginence 3 top goliadores de la bundesliga.....guerrero farfan pizaro

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

(CMD) Hablo Carlos Delgado por CMD, dice que hubo muchos equipos interesados y una oferta concreta de un club ingles que tiene a un tecnico historico para el medio y que lo queria a Pizarro si o si en su team y lo llamo muchas veces con ese fin. Lo malo era que ese equipo no participaba ni en la Champions ni en la Uefa, Claudio casi ficha por ellos.

Se dice que Pizarro preferio al Werder Bremen sobre el Manchester City.

I really hope he can revive his career. I miss those wonderful years @ werder brremen for Pizarro.

good for pizza and his first-round CL crashers of a team.

Re: Claudio Pizarro @ Chelsea's bench part 3 [r]

I think there's a pretty good chance that we'll have all 3 forwards scoring 10+ goals in the year.

And it'd be awesome if at some point all 3 are in the top 5 scorers of the league.

Ironic that could happen, but we couldn't even qualify as a team for Germany 2006.

Didn't he leave Bremen to win the CL with Bayern? It would be funny if he won the CL with Bremen. Impossible, but funny.
