Martin Demichelis, a young defensiv-player from Argentina, plays for Bayern Munich next season. He is playing for River Plate now, i think.
Does anyone know more about him? Do you think that he can make it in the first eleven for Bayern? How do you predict his future? What are his strong and his weak sides?
Thanks for answers.

all I know: he is a tall defender, that moves forward often, scores important goals for his team on corner kicks.

will do fine in Bundesliga.

Sounds like Lucio.

"Do you think that he can make it in the first eleven for Bayern? "

i dont think he came in that cheap. If he plays in the first team in the argentina league he can make it in the bundesliga, after all the bundesliga is weaker than the argentina league.

you can watch him tomorrow on fox espanol, qualifing game to finals for copa Libertadores vs.America de cali in colombia

he has great partner on the back and complement each othe real good, I have not seen them get cought in returning to their positions on a fast counter atack.

One thing: draws many yellow cards, But I guess that is part of that position on the field.

I have actually been perplexed by Bayern's interest and faith in him. Don't get me wrong, he's a pretty good defender, but he makes errors, and routinely gets burned when he plays out wide. Maybe Bayern likes his tools and think they can smooth off the rough edges, but I just don't see him stepping right in and playing for Bayern. I realize that there is a certain glamour in Argentinian prospects, especially those from River Plate or Boca Juniors, but I have to say that it appears to me that they are forcing this one.

bayern de M.... has many compromises next season, they need a deep roster.

demichelis is ready for the chanllange, what kind of transaction fee was involved? and who is playing in that position today for the champions of bundesliga? to see his chances......

look at other central defenders that went to euro ligas and play regularly: mario yepes (from River to Nantes) and Ivan Ramiro (froM san Lorenzo to Inter)

and the guy from Boca jrs, walter samuel (former partner to el patron bermudez)

[EL MONO MARIO]

Martin is a solid defender who is only 21. He has a LONG career ahead of him. He was sold for about $6 million. He has improved greatly for River and has played great in Copa Libertadores. A leader in the back, He'll do fine in Germany.

I hope the germans did not wacht today!

dimeichelis, le dio un gol de posicion y colocacion al america en el primer tiempo, y en el segundo el Negro Moreno le quemo la espalda con un movimiento muy rapido para el grandote de river.


I think that he contributed greatly to the 4-1 tonite.... sorry to burst your bubble Bayern fans


good for river, they are getting rid of Judas!

[aloisius]

How good is he? How does he compare to the Guy Real Bought (forgot his name)
