Think Darmian but with slightly lighter coloured hair and glasses. I'm also a fair bit uglier but that'll do.

So it's actually vice versa and you're Dolan Darmian?

Mind blown.
 
Can't wait to see him in United shirt. Last year after buying Di Maria shirt i said to myself that next year i will definitly buy Rooney shirt regardless who we will sign. But i really didn't expected that we will sign a legend like Schweinsteiger.

His transfer makes so much sense! We need experience and class and he has got both of them. He can be one of the most important players in our squad for 3-4 years at least.
And when you see how much attention this has got you can image how pleased our sponsors are with this transfer. He is the most marketable german player, German version of Rooney and we needed that. Our marketing department will hugely benefit from that and his transfer fee and salary are peanuts n comparison how much we can earn from his marketability.

But the most important thing is that we will see such a legend of the game as Schweinsteiger is play in our shirt. Can't wait.
 
Just noticed that he wears a watch that costs a years wage for a decent earning person. Not bad i must say, probably sponsored too.
 
I just saw the "compare" part and lost my shit :D, "compare" shouldn't be used in any situation when talking about Schweiny and the likes of Cleverley and Anderson in the same sentence.:nono:

Fair enough haha. It's amazing to think that those were our midfield options this time 12 months ago, and now we're facing into the new season with Bastian fecking Schweinsteiger.
 
I'm not so sure that's true anymore. But that's just my sense of things. So much relies on speed now in the game, top players seem to be younger on average than 20 years ago.
Players who rely on their pace and dynamism peak early, while players like Carrick, Xabi Alonso, Schweinsteiger etc peak late. Schweinsteiger is in his best age right now.
 
I'll definitely buy his shirt even if he gets a ridiculous number like 73.
 
Every post here should have a "feck Dortmund" with it ala Darmian and feck Juventus.


Not that I have anything against Dortmund mind.....

I think that Hambourg is more disliked than Dortmund, iirc. And there is a geographical rivalry with Stuttgart and Munich 1860, also iirc.

You screw up once more and I'm taking your arm band.

Also for the sour crouts moaning about his age, Carrick is one of the best midfielders in the league and he's 34 before the season starts. and has been unreal for the past 4 years. Sweini is 30, going on 31 ffs. there are countless examples of the top top midfielders playing well on into their thirtees.
 
He played as a striker in LvG's 3-5-2 Dutch side, much like Robben as some kind of half striker half winger.

I think he also played as a wing back in that system as well. LVG did a lot of tinkering.

My worries are less about age and more about his injury record.
