Robert Lewandowski Moves to Barcelona

[ScoRoss]

Back up plan for Man City, if Kane move doesn't happen?

Making way for Haaland at Bayern?

Nothing about this "breaking news" in German media.

Think I said in another thread he was our back up option @Viva la FCB had something to say about it  ..Haaland will still come to City next season too ..even if we get Kane

[Viva la FCB+]

Nah there's nothing in it. Kahn has already said he will at least fulfill his contract.

[Spike]

'he wants a new challenge but he actually doesn't, but only before 35.'

Would be a cheaper and much better player for Man City to go after but they'd find themselves in the same position in a few years. Unless Bayern already have someone lined up, I don't think we'll see this happening.

Surprised Liverpool are still gonna persist with Firmino upfront. A great player on his day but he might be one of the most inconsistent players in the league.

[JoshBRFC+]

He wouldn’t score half as many goals in England. Let him stay in Germany where people can stupidly think he’s the best player in the world, when in reality he’s not even the best striker in the world.

He's not the greatest finisher, but he's really important to the way we play - I don't think it's that surprising. Unless we're getting in a world class finisher like Lewandowski, we'd need someone that's got good all around play like Firmino to play in that role. I think his inconsistency is mostly limited to his shooting - although last season he went missing for a long while before the tail end of the season where he started to play a bit better. Tbh though a lot of our players did other than Salah, Fabinho & Henderson.

Please tell me this is a joke. Even if it were true that the Bundesliga is a farmers league... just look at his international record. Poland are pretty shit tbh and yet he's got a 1 in 2 record with them.

He's pretty clearly one of the best strikers in the world.

He’s top 10, but I’d take Kane, Lukaku, Ronaldo, Benzema, Suarez, Mbappe at least over him. Put any of them in that team and that league and they would get the numbers he gets.

 

[Spike]

I didn’t realise scoring 300 goals in Germany was so simple. I don’t know what evidence people need, left foot, right foot, chip shots, outside the box shots, headers, penalties, free kicks, backheels, bicycle kicks, vollyes, half volleys, outside foot, tap ins, one on ones with the goalie, record for most goals in a season, second most goals of all time.

Maybe the team is so good because Lewandowski is simply that good. It is like denying C.Ronaldo’s ability because he only played for the most successful team in each league he has played.

M’Bappe is all pace. His technique is knock it past the opponent and then miss 10 shots on goal till he gets the goal. Thankfully at PSG he is afforded that luxury. One of the worst individual performances ever was against Man United.

Seriously? 

I think there's a lot of disrespect for Lewandowski. It's too easy to say 'he plays for Bayern so he's bound to get the goals'. Well yeah it helps, but he's one of the most complete strikers around currently. Like @Spike says, the vast range of goals that he always scores so regularly and longevity he has he deserves more respect on his name. 

[JoshBRFC+]

Very serious. He has enough respect on his name, he’s a world class top 10 striker in the world.

It’s not disrespect, it’s an opinion. The players I’ve mentioned would score just as many as he has in that league. He’s not even the best striker in the league anymore. A 21 year old is who plays in a much weaker team.

[Stan]

I reckon @JoshBRFC is still bitter Lewandowski didn't sign for them all those years ago

[Inverted]

In their primes, the only centre forwards of his generation that I could possibly accept as better than Lewandowski are Suarez, Ibrahimovic and maybe Benzema. Cavani, Kane, Aguero, Lukaku etc are all close but slightly behind.

I wouldn't even bother comparing Mbappe because he's a different kind of player, and he's not as good. He could turn out to be better, but who knows.

Lewandowski would be smarter than Kane. Even though he is a couple of years older, he doesn't have Kane's injuries or problems with fitness. Lewa gets at least 40 games a season for the last decade, insane fitness levels.

Well I guess Kane has as well, I thought he was having problems with his knees?

I agree, he's top class, would be a good fill in for a few years. didn't know kane had bad knees, thought it was his ankles? 

[Mel81x+]

If he wants to leave and Klopp gets a chance to get him I doubt he'd say no. He was phenomenal at Dortmund as much as he is at Bayern and would certainly get a lot of goals with service from Salah, Mane, Jota, etc. Even if he's getting older his situational awareness around the box is ridiculously good.
