I really like Lucio because I play defense, and he is one of the best period, BUT Ballack is the great German attacking midfielder, BUT I have this obsession with the Dutch and how many great players they have on their national team (even though they didn't qualify for the last WC), so I am going with MAKAAY.
Here are my top five in order: 1. Ballack (favorite player in the world) 2. Schweinsteiger 3. Makaay 4. Deisler 5. Kahn (no matter what this guy does, I still love him!) Liza and Sagnol will always have a special place in my heart also.
Don't mind the poll. But it says it will be open till next year (June 21st, 2006). Un-uh!!. I will see if I can edit that for you, but lets keep the poll open for 48 hours only. DF EDIT This poll will only be open till sometime Friday before we close it. There is no way to edit the time frame once the poll has been posted. So.... sorry..we are not going to have it open for a year! So get all your ballot stuffing in.
That is fine I should have just put it for a couple of days, I do not mind if it is changed and I apoligize for the mistake, I am still a noob, it was first post. I have read many posts, but first was this thread.
It's ok... Welcome to the Bayern Board BMike86 Just watch out for the old guys...They are a bunch of crotchety old farts
Ballack, worldclass attacking mid. I like karimi too cuz he's my countryman but he hasn't actually played in the league for bayern yet...
It's hard to pick one player but I would say Ballack, he is such a presence on the field. Great all around midfielder. Pre-Ballack era it was definately Effenberg, lack of technical skills were made up by his character, such a bastard... i love it!
Of all the great players to love on this team, I am still a huge Mehmet Scholl fan. I cannot believe he was NOT listed! He may be passed his prime, but things ALWAYS happen when he takes the pitch.
I'm the first to vote for Olli!? Wow! Off the top of my head: 1) Oliver Kahn 2) Michael Ballack 3) Roy Makaay 4) Sebastian Deisler 5) Bastian Schweinsteiger 6) Claudio Pizarro
Karimi only because Im Iranian. Karimi hasnt even played a minute yet, so Id pick Makkay, hes a sexy scoring machine
Add 1 more to Makaay's tally, stupid me I picked Pizarro in haste. It was a close call between Makaay and Ballack, but taking the last 2 years as a whole Makaay has been slightly better than Ballack which is to say both have been World-Class.
17 Votes for Karimi? WTF, this guy hasn't played a game, this totally illegitimize this Poll. I wish all u Karimi guys would stop intruding our boards with your Overzealous Karimi worship. Okay we get it, for u guys Karimi is better than sliced bread, but We the BAYERN fans on the Bayern Board really couldn't care less, so go post on the Iranian forum or something. This is the BAYERN MUNICH forum and not the Karimi forum!
Take it easy on the Karimi fans. This is sort of like Real getting Beckham and how many fans became Real fans just because they followed the great Beckham. Its just instead of a player from England, it is a player from Iran. Don't forget he was the Asian Footballer of the Year. I am not saying it is the exact same situation as Real, just similar. Also it is ironic that I mention Beckham because Bayern took a serious look at him earlier this year. He was basically Real's trade bait for Ballack. Even though mentioning all this, chelodelgado I understand exactly where you are coming from. He hasn't exactly proven himself so how can we all just respect him for Bayern if he hasn't done anything. I remember when Ballack first came here he underachieved a little. We just have to give it time before we see if Karimi is the real deal.
Roy Makaay (a quiet, humble, but deadly goal-scorer) and Jens Jeremies (one of the hardest working players in football) are my two favorite players.
On the current squad Ballack is my favorite player, but Schweinsteiger is catching up quickly and my surpass him this season.
Clearly you don't even know what this poll is about. Now before reading the rest of this post...why don't you read the title of the poll. Incase you are still lost...The poll is asking for our FAVOURITE BAYERN PLAYERS.....FAVOURITE BAYERN PLAYERS....and once again......FAVOURITE BAYERN PLAYERS. Now the poll is not asking for the best Bayern player.....FAVOURITE BAYERN PLAYER. It doesn't matter whether KArimi has played for Bayern or not. If he is my favourite player that plays for Bayern Munich....then he is my FAVOURITE BAYERN PLAYER.
