Yeah. I see Weidenfeller and Wiese having Kahn v. Lehmann type battles for Germany #1 in the near future.
I think Wiese and Weidenfeller are better than Enke, Hildebrand and Jentzsch.

Yeah, I'm not totally sure hildebrand's on field performance (so far for germany) is good enough to be germany no.2
anyway, i expect loew to call up weidenfeller very very soon. He will be the no.1 right after euro2008.

I don't think his perfrormances for Stuttgart justify his being in the Germany setup. He's a good keeper, but his numbers that got him on the national team were the product of that great defense Magath built in Stuttgart.

I believe it will be a great battle between Weidenfeller and Wiese. One that should make Kaiserslautern fans very proud.
That battle is a reason I believe Weidenfeller will be hesitant to leave Dortmund.
Both of them became the keepers they are today under Gerald Ehrmann at 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
Gerald Ehrmann should have been Germany's goalkeeping coach long ago........

Keith, you reckon Koepke is a bad goalkeeping coach?

Only when an open-minded Juergen Klinsmann took over was Lehmann given a fair chance to claim the #1 goalkeeping spot.
Another one of the "advantages" a keeper can have is to play in the Bundesliga and be recognized as the top German keeper in the Bundesliga.
That's what I was getting at.

No, I'm not saying that.
But Andreas Koepke hasn't had to do much either. He inherited two already great keepers in Lehmann and Kahn.
I was saying that Ehrmann should have been Germany goalkeeping coach even with that f#cking Kahn-sucking bastard Sepp Maier had the job.
Lehmann never got a fair shot then for two reasons.
1) Maier simply did not like him.
2) As far as Maier was concerned, no matter how many mistakes Kahn made, no one was better than his star pupil Kahn.
Maier should have been fired a long time before Klinsmann ever came on the scene, but Vogts, Ribbeck and Voeller lacked the balls to run the national team the way they saw fit instead of the way FC Bayern and the media saw fit.
Gerald Ehrmann is by far the best goalkeeping coach in Germany. He just isn't recognized because he's at 1. FC Kaiserslautern. A club he loves with all his heart and soul.
Ehrmann turned Georg Koch from a pretty darned good keeper into a fearsome one.
Ehrmann even turned an "on his last legs" keeper like Andreas Reinke into a #1 again and not just for a few seasons either.
And you see what he's done with Weidenfeller and Wiese.......
People look at Sepp Maier and say, "He taught Oliver Kahn". Yeah, but Kahn had most of the tools by the time he got to Maier.
How many of Kahn's backups/Bayern amateur team keepers have gone on to be successes elsewhere??
I think unless you count Wessels at Koln (and I don't) that number is zero.
And if the rumors somehow happen to be true and Weidenfeller does leave for England or anywhere else, I hope BVB will go and get Ehrmann's latest project, 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Germany U-20 international keeper Florian Fromlowitz.
Trust me, Fromlowitz is already a better keeper than FC Bayern's Michael Rensing.........

I heard good things about him, he has international potential IMO.

The only reason Fromlowitz is not #1 at 1. FC Kaiserslautern right now is because coach Wolf prefers Juergen Macho's experience in pressure situations.
As far as me and most FCK supporters I know go, we'd already have Fromlowitz as #1.

TOLH, wasn't Roeber trainer when Marcelinho joined Hertha?
I'm wondering since Roeber is now interim trainer at BVB, if he won't inquire about Marcelinho's availability??
Not that I want Marcelinho (I did at one point a few years ago to replace Rosicky), but I'm just wondering........

Yea that was correct, but he got fired in the same tear (Bundesliga year, not calendar year). Goetz replaced him.

That figures!! LOL!! :)
Honestly, with the help we do need in central midfield, I half suspected that Roeber might want to ask them to purchase Marcelinho........
Scary thought, but then again, even the Marcelinho of the past season is better than what we have now.

He's doing horribly in Trabzonspor right now, it wouldn't be out of the realm for him to return to Germany.

why he was allowed to leave Hertha? He had a clash with the manager? He wasn't happy at hertha no more? He was one of my favorites at the Berlin club...

Clashes with the leadership and his play went to shit because he wasn't motivated anymore.
I think he was horribly disappointed when Bayern did not go after him to replace Michael Ballack.......
But, the Marcelinho thing was just a theory of mine. Don't expect BVB to go after the guy.

Sevilla In For Metzelder? (http://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/la-liga/2006-2007/sport_sto1046161.shtml)
+++++++
It is easy to see that some "genius" at Eurosport's English site saw that Odonkor went to Sevilla and decided to link Metze with them.
Why the f#ck would Metze want to go there?
They are going to be in the 2. La Liga next season anyhow.
If Metze wants to play with Odonkor again, Odonkor might have his ass back in Dortmund! LOL!!!
The f#cking "genius" who wrote this story is probably the same one who linked Weidenfeller with Arsenal.
You know. Because Lehmann and Rosicky are there??? :rolleyes:

Sevilla is I think 1st or 2nd right now in La Liga.
Real Betis, where Odonkor is playing, is the team trying to avoid relegation right now.
