Yes. I hink he'd make brilliant winger. Absolute horseshit for a defender though. You know, they are called defenders for a reason.

Only one word needs quoting there mate, and I think you are speaking it!

So you think he is good defender?

No offence meant.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Oh dear God...

I think you sometimes come out with this tripe purely to be different. ITs the only explanation I can think of.

Ok, Lahm is a full back. We both agree on that. As a fuill back he has two main duties - to get forward when possible and to defend the wide area. I reckon we probably agree on that.

Where things seem to get blurry for you is his defending. You say he is a TERRIBLE defender.

So basically you're the only one that has spotted his undoubted talents for getting forward and you have therefore decided he should be a winger?

Playing as a defender he has been given the captaincy of Germany - the team of the world cup so far. Playing as a defender, he is vice captain of the european champions league finalists. Playing as a defender, he is one of the favourites for the World Cup Player of the Tournament.

But YOU think he is shit and should be a winger?

Take a fucking lie down will you?!

Perhaps you should watch Bayern sometimes. 78% of the goals they concede come either from direct mistake by Lahm or from his side when he has gone missing yet again.

But why are we even discussing about this? Thank god he isn't coming to City.

Edit. I seem to remeber you were banging on about Podolski in similar fashion few years back because you had seen him for Germany.

NQDP you're talking bollocks. Nearly everyone in football rates Lahm, I don't know what it is with your deranged opinion on him, maybe you're just desperately trying to come across as different to make a point of "swimming against the stream" or some kind of bullshit...

78% of Bayern's goal are Lahm's fault... give me a fucking break and stop making up statistics on the fly.


And I don't give a fuck if you're an Admin or a Mod on here, you're coming across as an arrogant tosser once again.

WRONG!

I never banged on about Podolski so that's your poxy memory letting you down again. I've seen you use a similar tactic on plenty of others and at least half the time you've got them mixed up with a different poster.

Deal with the debate at hand if you can chief.

The vice captain of Bayern is responsible for 78% of their goals and no one seems to notice only you? In fact, he is captain of his country so they didn't notice either. And in the running for the player of the whole tournament, so they didn't notice either?

And all whilst playing out of position... because as well as not yet noticing he's shit, they haven't noticed he should be playing on the wing?

Not a fucking breeze my friend...

Regarding Torres.

Why do I have this nagging feeling he will join Rafa at Inter? Very little being said about it.

Might be well off the mark.

Agreed. I had it down as 43.2% on my own Opta index.

Can the guy play - clearly yes, I must have seen Lahm play 20-25 games and he hasn't looked like a dummy in any of them. Regardless of whether he's coming to City or not, being a City fan I have seen a few shit full-backs who can't defend in my time, and Lahm certainly isn't one of them.

You dont play the games at the level he has for Bayern, nor have the caps for Germany, if you can't defend, end of. Or are we to believe the various managers who have selected Lahm are all wrong and NQDP is right? Sorry NQDP but I know who's opinions I'd trust on this and it isn't those of an internet forum moderator.

I also think Lahm is overrated.
Very prone to making mistakes and getting caught out of position.

But is also one of these German players who manage to play 500% better for their country.

exactly

problem is, you'd actually have to see him play to know that. Not watch youtube.

But hey ho, this is last I will say about this subject. He is just some Bayern player. Nothing to do with City. Although you'd be excused to think otherwise reading some of the stuff here.

So it gets pointed out to you that you're completely dillusional when it comes to Lahm and you try to insinuate we have some kind of agenda when it comes to him? Like we're not actually giving an opinion towards him, just purely 'protecting' him??

You have me fucking baffled sometimes mate. Baffled.

Actually, you could say you have me baffled 78% of the time. I just never noticed before...

Spain will beat Germany. They will target Lahm as a weakness and that is where they will score their goals from.

grrrrrrr.

My opinion of Lahm was formed watching Chumps league matches when he was the player who was continually out of position to concede Bayern's goals.

Now back off buddy or I'll get all Jimbo over your ass.

Any chance we could rename the thread "***Lahm opinions thread***"

I opened the thread hoping to see some new city transfer gossip..

All i found was everyone discussing the merits of some shit german....

Disappointing stuff.
