You get big calves from running up stairs (like a vertical marathon) or climbing mountains as in the German Alps?

You probably do. But the reason why it is a "beauty" ideal is probably that Bavaria always was very rural and the farmhand with the more muscular body usually was better equipped for the hard work. That is the explanation I know.
Eh? Why would you get upset? It is not like you lot have never had a bad word to say about Pirlo.
Sign of hardwork and strength. Hopefully the same indicators do not apply to the Bavarian women!
Looks like he already loves the rain.
Bastian fecking Schweinsteiger!
Looks like a guy with whom I would have a beer with.

Well he does come from a City (Munich) that gets more rain than Manchester! He'll be right at home
Nice job man
Bastian Fecking Schweinsteiger!

This still hasn't remotely sunk in yet. My brain is still registering everything as photoshopped.
Hmmm
where did you get your figures from I've lived in both places and I know where I'd rather be (or am I missing something here?Manchester (pretty damn rainy, less thunderstorms, no real snowboarding opportunities):
Munich (Wet, slightly more light rain, a lot less moderate and heavy rain… but always less wet than Manchester, a lot more stormy, and perhaps a snow-mobile required in winter):
Or, to make it more transparent, on any given day annually:
Manchester:
Munich:
So about 50-75% more rain in Manchester on any given day … and don't get me started on average temperature either

It's a Lederhosen thing!
I think it'll only properly sink in when he makes his debut. It does still feel really surreal.
The reason why I talked about learning how to speak his name right is this man...
Can't believe that puny little Frenchman called our Basti a Scheissneiger! I mean look at him! He's neither scheisse, nor a neiger!
Love him already. He seems like a very 'aware' guy. Wouldn't surprise me if he went into football coaching/management/administration at some point in his life
Rooney on Schweini.
"Bastian is a very experienced player who has won everything in the game and it’s great that he has chosen to join us and left a team like Bayern Munich to come here," Rooney told MUTV in an exclusive interview to be broadcast on Wednesday at 18:30 BST. "And Morgan as well – it’s great to see Bastian, him, Matteo and Memphis all come in and give the squad a boost. It’s exciting times and I’m sure over the next week or two it’ll be great for us to get some training sessions in and get to know each other's games.
"Bastian speaks very good English so that’s a boost for the squad, too. He’s a fantastic player, he’s shown that over the years and it’s great that we’ve got him and I'm sure he’ll be a good player for us. We had the day we first flew out when we first met Bastian and Morgan and they’ve settled in as well as they can do in a couple of days. It’s great to have them with us."

I think Rummenigge already mentioned that if Schweinsteiger wants then perhaps there can be a future function for him at Bayern after his playing career is over.
Schweini is the type of signing that has an RVP effect on us. I don't think the impact will be quite as big, just because he isn't plugging a huge hole anymore given we've signed Herrera, Blind, Schneiderlin and Mata in recent times, but a player of his quality and experience and "prestige" persay will be a huge benefit to the squad as a whole. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and is exactly the type of player which can elevate a squad. They look around and they don't see Fellaini or Fletcher, they see a CL winning, WC winning, top quality midfielder.
Ah then it's a certainty that he'll go back there at some point.
He just seems genuinely happy to be here. Not something you can say for many players moving clubs. Almost like he's been itching to move here for years and now he's living the dream (even though he's won everything there is to win). It's fantastic. Glad we have an efficient German in the team now. Something that will surely be a good thing in the coming season.
Not surprising if he's on the reported £275k per week being reported in the press !
Bullshit
Think its more like 375k per week and for that i blame your club,he saw you giving 200k per week to that turd,so he requested 175k more.
That was the Daily Star getting £ and Euros mixed up. It's more like £170k per week

He gets 13m Euros a year, reported by Bild and Sport1, which broke the story and reported everything correctly.
Initially they said it was 10m, but it seems to be 13m. So that makes 190k pounds per week, but at least his fee is only 10m pounds, after saying at the beginning it was 15m.
Stop quoting the Daily star

If Rooney is on 400k, Schweini is on 450k at least!
Rooney will definitely be paid more.
After we splashed 100m for Depay, Bastian is probably on around 650k a week.
It's only fair.
Schweini also said that this was his first trip to America which is kinda surprising. Apparently Bayern would always do their preseason tours in Asia.
Actually Bayern had a short tour last pre-season (a week). If I remember correctly the players who played in the world cup joined later and played a match against an All Stars team of the MLS - where Schweini got injured. He probably forgot on purpose.

You cannot call this a tour what the German players and Robben made. They departed early morning to the US, arrived early in the afternoon, made some interviews and a visit to the ADIDAS US HQ, played some minutes in the Allstar match and flew home in the night after the match. They were in Portland maybe 8 hours.
The other players were in the US more than a week - some days in New York and some in Portland.
Bayern goes on tour to China tomorrow - only a week to Bejing, Shanghai and Guanghou. With three matches against Valencia, Inter and Guanghou and a golf tournament in Shanghai in which Guardiola and some players will participate in.
Someone posted them two pictures together on here, making the same point.
Makes me wonder if Bastian is secretly a caftard
A daily trip to the US with an injury on top it is then.
Doesn't change the fact that Bayern had been on tour and the way Schweini said it in his interview (that he hasn't been there and that the pre-season tours took place in Asia) is kinda misleading, imo. I agree with you that Schweini hasn't been on tour, though. I guess his first footballing trip...
Only just remembered that he scored at OT in that game too. Was a nice finish if I recall too. Ohh I'm excited to see this guy play for us!
