Thomas Kraft let one in he should have had today for Bayern. Hopefully Bayern won't decide they need Neuer for themselves.
Manuel Neuer

- Start date
That's a pretty tough thing to do, considering Bayern won 6-0.
True he did look a little nervy but seemed to settle a little bit as the tournament progressed. As his first major tournament as Die Mannschaft's no 1, I think its a good stepping stone. He didnt do anything to make me think pull him ala Robert Green lets say.
Kraft is still very young and will make mistakes. It all depends if the new manager is one who is willing to be patient with him or not.
For some reason, the US satellite was showing Hannover v Bayern instead of the live matches today. I've noticed they've been doing this frequently of late so I don't know if they've lost televising rights to live feeds or what. But I too was confused when I read in the weekend thread that Bayern were up 4-0 when I had saw them losing 3-1 earlier today. Then I realized that Hannover match had to be a rerun.
BTW, would Schalke have an interest in Kuszczak, perhaps to include him in a deal?
He wanted to claim the ball, but misjudged his timing. Shit like this happens all the time.
That would be perfect. Neuer and Lindegaard for us and PIG can go to Schalke.
Oops, the game I was watching was from March 5th and a replay, not this weekend. Still my point applies.
The Mail are running a story that we've decided on De Gea and Eric Steele is taking Spanish lessons in preparation.
The Mail link us with a different keeper weekly...a new player seemingly daily.
Eric Steele did travel with Fergie earlier in the season to watch Valencia -v- A.Madrid before we played them in the Champions League though. So I guess he was there to run the rule over De Gea then. But there have been reports he's watched Neuer numerous times as well.
I wouldn't mind either personally.
I don't see why Steele would learn Spanish anyway, surely De Gea would be learning English if he would be coming to England playing for an English speaking manager with predominantly English speaking players
edit: Also says he'd be £15m.. wishful thinking

Good example of what I meant when I talked about 'errors in decission making' a few pages back. Come for the ball, hesitate, run back and be late equals conceding a goal.
TBF, he couldnt expect teh striker to miss the ball and he obviously had to come out since his defenders were behind the striker... he looks stupid, but its not a basic error for me
From what I've seen Neuer would be prone to that happening quite a lot, as he's one of those sweeper keepers always out early to close down and get into people before they are set. If someone for example goes for a chip instead of a cross or throughball that he's suspecting it might catch him out.
With regards to De Gea, from what I've seen of Neuer the German is a better keeper for now. But I still have yet to see him put under real pressure from a cross.

I would prefer Fergie to save the dosh and gives a chance to Lindegaard to stake his claim as number 1
If it ain't work out, then buy

Our main English football pundit is a goalkeeping coach and a former goalkeeper as well. He judges goalkeeper like you do in tennis or golf. He said after the Valencia game that he's the best goalkeeper in the world now, on the same basis as Woods has lost his place. So he's in the top 5 constantly.
The man knows his football well and also works as an odds maker so he's a pretty good pundit and is the first man to point out if he's wrong. Also a big watcher of the Bundesliga being fluent in German so he's not talking out of his arse.
What I've seen of him I like. However I have the FM favoritism going on and that probably skews my judgement on him some what although I try to avoid that.

He's not even number 2 with Kuszczak here and was said by Steele to be Foster's replacement as the number 3 goalie. No way in hell he's gonna get the spot.
I would think that we're done with the "let's try this one out and sign someone new if he doesn't work out" approach to goalkeepers.
Or at least I hope we are.
You Crazy... If it's one thing we have learnt from Schemichel to Van Der Sar is that we don't mess about with Keepers!! It's normally the difference from being a championship side. Ask Arsenal.
Also worth noting he got an assist at the weekend.
So, with Schalke now having sacked Felix Magath (who always stated Neuer was ''not for sale), it will be interesting to see how Neuer will react to the club's decision. A forum user on a decent Schalke forum has summarised the situation:
35% : 30%? Not likely. I think he'll go to Bayern and if he doesn't go to Bayern, he won't come to us. I can't see Fergie splashing out the money that would be needed to get Neuer.
yes please! 
Schalke lost 2-0 to Leverkusen
No where else to post these videos really so they go here..
1-0 Eren Derdiyok v Schalke
2-0 Christoph Metzelder og v Schalke
Bit of communication problems for the 2nd perhaps? Stupid own goal but looks like Neuer comes out to catch it but the defender heads it in..

Neuer's bit too eccentric for my liking. Can be unbeatable on his day, but always capable of a clanger or two as well
Neuer is very poor in the last weeks.
Well lots of problems with schalke, coaching changes, very poor season, constant rumors and carrying his team for most of the season. Not surprising a dip in form also playIng through the summer with the world cup might be leading to a bit of burnout?
According to the Daily Mail Eric Steele went to go watch Neuer and Adler

Barthez?
Neuer not planning on moving abroad
Neuer told German magazine ''kicker'': ''Do you have to have played abroad as a professional footballer? Some players tend to think they do. I am not like that, I don't.''
He'll go to Bayern.
German Ben Foster
de Gea already speaks english
He's not coming then
Bad day. Pastore and Neuer not coming

Feck him and feck the horse he rides on.
Good news is that VDS is staying to be a coach. So feck Nuer or nuewre or whatever his name is, I had a feeling he will be another Torres, will stay at his home country for so long and then some Prem team will go and get him later when we don't need a keeper

It's weird* that, he doesn't really say anything that's even close to their headline.
*not really, it's a tabloid English newspaper, so it's probably expected.
He says he wants to win the Bundesliga and doesn't see why he has to leave Germany to play football. He goes abroad twice a year for his winter and summer holidays.
That sounds to me like he doesn't want to leave the Bundesliga. At least not until he's won it. And if he'll be bought after all than he'll always have the itchy fingers to go back home.
That is if what he says is actually meant a 100% and not just bad translation or lies.
