No, we've never had a German player in the first team - unfortunately.We've never had a German in our first team have we?
Closest I can think of's Zieler
No, we've never had a German player in the first team - unfortunately.
Apart from Hargreaves of course!
Anyway I've decided we're going to sign him if only to make myself feel better!
Explain in clear detail how is Hargreaves German?

Disclaimer for those lacking a sense of humour: I do not think Hargreaves is German even though he could have qualified for Germany under residency which is good enough the German national team.
his finishing?? thats his biggest weakness IMO!
Those were the rumours around MArch or so, that Roman was presparing a summer war-chest of 150m or so. Could well be bogus. Then again, he desperately wants the CL, so who knows?
Letting 3 of his roster go to trim the wage bill and clear up squad space for new talent suggests the rumours were true. We'll have to wait and see of course.

"We are indeed dependent on proceeds from transfers. But we also need to make sure that we are succesful football-wise. A major event, the Champions League qualifying campaign, is awaiting us. Therefore we need a strong team. So if he doesn't extend his contract and will leave for free after this season, we will have to accept it. There are no concrete offers for him."
Wait. Ozil plays for Germany where he is team mates with Friedrich. Now Friedrich plays for Wolfsburg who's new manager is Steve Mcclaren who also just happens to be our former assistant coach.
Surely Fergie has used Mcclaren to influence Friedrich to influence Ozil to come to United.
Later boys I'm off to get my Ozil jersey.
Is this kid potentially better than Fabregas?
As Surely Barca are better off going for him instead.
Well Fabregas is probably the best young CM in the world, so I doubt it somehow. He's certainly got the talent though, but I don't think his all round game as on Fabregas level.
Bremen boss Allofs on Mesut:
Fabregas will get found out if he goes to Barcelona. He isn't at the standard of Xavi or Iniesta.
Agreed, but Ozil is 2 years younger. Who knows what level he'll be at in 2 years.Fabregas will get found out if he goes to Barcelona. He isn't at the standard of Xavi or Iniesta.
He's 23 years old. To suggest that Fabregas won't be as good as Xavi or Iniesta in a by the time he's their ages is just silly.
