Thomas Müller

Rooney was an outstanding physical specimen and outrageously gifted - I don't think people are saying either about Muller.

plus he's got the benefit of being in a good international team, so you'd imagine he'll have a bit more service to continue his goalscoring.
 
Rooney is/was far more of a talent than Muller.


Muller is a well oiled cog in a machine, take him out and put him in a rusty old machine and he'd struggle.

Rooney isn't even a cog, he's the cylinders, the spark plugs, the fuel and the catalytic converter; but if the head gasket has gone then he's flogging a dead horse.
 
He epitomises this current team. Ozil also but to a lesser degree.


Not the most talented, not very quick or strong but always plays the simple ball and never loses his head. Intelligent user of the ball. I made a thread about ze Germans and their simplistic football, pretty much saying what you're saying here.

Sounds like a player we have -- Carrick.

Dear Spammy,


My car won't start, i think my klose is getting too old and my centre bearings are a little slow. It has only just had its Mueller added and it was going really well, is it worth replacing them all? or maybe one or two of them? or just replacing the whole lot with a Rooney?
 
Müller, some English renderings put an 'e' in to account for the umlaut, cf Oezil - don't think it works myself.

That's because you're not too lazy - or maybe too much of a geek - to actually know the Umlaut shortcut on your keyboard :p
 
It's because pete is edumecaited or least sounds like it
 
This kid has things you cannot teach. You're either born with the intangibles he has or you are not. I'd like to see more of him, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he could turn out to be the best of the crop.

I don't care who you are, or who you play for, if you score 5 goals and assist on 3 more in the world cup you're a special player.

He didn't particularly impress me when we played them in the CL, but given his WC performance I can see how he's a bit special. The fact that he's 20 is all the more amazing. He'll break Fat Ron's record one day, as he's got at least 2, maybe 3 World Cup's ahead of him.

Juste Fontaine scored 13.
 
I think people are making too much of him. He's a good player but nothing special imo. He just seems to be a very solid player.
 
He's going to be a super player. Not the most gifted footballer but he's unbelievably mature in his decision making. Few as intelligent as him on the pitch at his age.
 
I think he might be a bit like Ruud.

Not the most impressive physical specimen, but he just has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
 
We would only get interested in him once he becomes injury prone.
 
His goal in the first game of the season wasn't half-bad either.

 
Fantastic technique for those two goals. He already is a fine player but will surely improve.
 
I'm too in the Mueller is better than Oezil camp. Great young player.
 
Apparently Van Gaal has been playing Schweini and Müller out of position with Schweinsteiger in the attacking midfielder spot and Müller out on the wings rather than AM spot.

Maybe we could see if Müller is unhappy with a cheeky bid. Or one for Schweinsteiger if VG continues playing them out of position.

Signed new contracts. Both are Munich through and through like Scholes and Giggs are United
 
Germans sure have some youngsters coming through
 
Yeah, Marko Marin is another one who will be interesting to follow in the future.

Muller is not out of position on the flank. He was ace there for Germany in the world cup.
