You can rotate players you know. And Lahm and Schweinsteiger don't exactly set the world on fire on the left.
Schweinsteiger is actually more talented than Podolski for example, talking german talent. I don't like either of them as far as their personality on the pitch, but Schweinsteiger is in my opinion more skilled than people think, he went from overrated(WC hype) to underrated in just one season.
I agree that Schweinsteiger is more talented than some people think, but I don't think he's underrated. He does some things better than anyone in Germany. But, he should be even better next season. Many people don't realize he was actually sick for a lot of this season. I can talk shit about him at times, but I'd love him at my club and I think he'd earn a starting spot at Werder too.
Yeah, we know he's skilled, but he has to keep his performances on an even keel. On a high level at an even keel. Footyfan is right about the injuries. Playing with them a whole season can lower the performances. Footyfan, look at Tim Duncan from last year and Tim Duncan from this year. So hopefully Schweisteiger can become consistent. I don't think I'd start him over borowski though, at any position. Not yet anyway.
i'd definately start him over Borowski, if schweini just has to play more consistent...Like Keith said he was quite sick for most of this season...Hopefully he gets the hell out of Bayern because his talent is really wasted on the bench...I think that we all know that when Schweini is on his game - he'll have a bigger impact than most players on the German side.
Schweinsteiger won´t leave Bayern this summer and especially not to Bremen. He´a good player, but i would prefer Borowski every day of the week. Many people totally underrate an in-form Borowski, which he sadly wasn´t last season, because of injuries. --- About Carlos Alberto there are currently no news. Werder plans to give the squad more depth based on the experiences especially from the second part of last season. It will be interesting to see, how this will be realized. With Rosenberg and Niemeyer now allowed to play in UEFA competitions (weren´t allowed to play, because Ajax and Twente played UEFA-cup) there are already new options for Schaaf.
Has anyone heard anything about Bremen renovating their stadium? I heard something about plans to expand the Weser Stadion to 50.000 seats a few months ago, but I can't find anything official
Yup, I would prefer to see Borowski starting for Germany instead of Schweinsteiger. His penalty against Argentina and performance against Argentina and Italy proved it for me. They both have talent but Borowski is better suited to display it at the highest level for Germany right now.
werder.de It´s planned to begin the renovation this winter and finish it in winter 2008. Capacity about 50000, 17000 - 20000 m^2 solar cells on the roof.
construction work will start at the end of the year and end before the 2008/2009 season. will be a nice stadium! Edit: u were quicker eisenfuß
looks like their are going to finally fill in that rediculous gap with the track around the pitch! looks awesome!! right in time for my year in Germany for college!!! wow am i going to have fun!!!!
Had they done this a couple years ago they might have gotten a bid to host a game over hannover for the 2006 WC...
At the application to host WC matches there were published plans to modernized the stadium. Reasons, why Bremen didn´t get WC matches were the bad transport connections compared to Hannover and political decisions. But that´s another story.
Does anyone know anything about werder tv? I checked out the website (http://www.maxdome.de/sport/werder/), but my German isn't as sharp as it used to be. I noticed it says you can watch Werder games, but are they live? Or do you have to wait until the next day to watch? Also, does the bundesliga website have any service you can sign up for that streams games to your computer?
I hope no! This Carlos Alberto is a problemboy.. haha... He cant stay in one club more than one year... always the same disciplinary problems... and he doesn't play too well to play for Werder...
No, sadly they aren´t live. This would be hell of an offer for 2.99€/month. T-online offers a similar service, there you can pay for watching highlights 1 hour after the matches are over.
My dad is from Bremen, born and raised - trust me, I heard all about the political reasons!! Whats done is done - Bremen will have a great stadium nonetheless.
Some transfer rumours having Werder bring in Cdn midfielder Atiba Hutchinson. Any news in the German press on that?
Yeah, it will be a Schmuckkästchen. No, real news. Sources like Goal.com just say, that Werder and Stuttgart are interested in signing him. And the price would be around 5.4 million €, which is quite much for a player, who plays in Denmark.
