Tooj 17 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Personally i would stay well clear of french and spanish, their attitude stinks. Get some germans in i reckon To be fair, I don't think there are that many who would be available and really adding quality to the team. I agree about the general sentiment though. Most German players (or in case of Berbatov from the Bundesliga) adapted to English football quite well. One thing that has always gotten me, is people say a lot of South Americans don't adapt to England very well and to avoid them as much as you can. Yet from my eyes a lot do go to Germany and seem to settle in quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I bet the Germans look after them better in general in terms of the non-footballing side of things (family, accommodation, etc.) like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet from my eyes a lot do go to Germany and seem to settle in quite well. There are loads of South Americans who have failed to settle in Germany, namely players signed by Bayern and for example most recently Carlos Alberto at Bremen. I wouldn't say there is that much of a difference between England and Germany in general. Just because of different work permit regulations it's just easier for German clubs to sign Brazilians etc. Because of the larger number of players there have been more players who were successful (without the large number of failures being noted outside of Germany). Alex is right though. The biggest successes have been those players who were signed by Leverkusen (Jorginho, Paulo Sergio, Emerton, Lucio). Through their connections with Bayer they had close links to Brazil and indeed looked after them as good as possible and minimising the number of failures.

That also begs the question, was Santa Cruz a success in Germany or has he just taken to the premier league better? It's not as if Blackburn are a better team than Bayern Munich. I still wish the club would (try to) sign Bastian Schweinsteiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The style seems to suit him better. He was also always struggling with injuries during his time at Bayern and behind the likes of Makaay etc. in the pecking order. I am really surprised about his success. I still wish the club would (try to) sign Bastian Schweinsteiger. Probably not as far fetched as hit seems. He is struggling since 2006 and Bayern probably wouldn't say no to a good offer. It's depending on what Klinsmann thinks though. The Quayside wouldn't be the ideal place for him anyway...

sammynb 3640 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It's depending on what Klinsmann thinks though. Seeing their history with the national team it's not likely is it? I could just see him flying up and down the right wing playing the way KK wants. The Quayside wouldn't be the ideal place for him anyway... Why? Does he have a think for wurst and bier? Or just dirty clunge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
