Phillipp Lahm ?

[keniget]

I would assume he is a fluent German speaker, which is what I assume lfc4ever was getting at.

I know, but it's silly...

[keniget]

Would prefer Bale.

Why?

[lfc4ever]

German with a Ukraine accent is pretty intense. Sounds better than most Saxons though.

Better than the Austrians?

I always preferred the Alsation myself.

[Red Chilli]

I'm sure LFC are interested in him. We won't sign him though

Is Bayern an accent then? In the same way that 'Chinky' is a Chinese person but also a type of food - Bayern is an accent and also a prefix of the name of Munich's football team?

What does Bayern Munchen translate as, literally?

[Jayesh87]

Why?

I've only seen him play 4/5 times but from those game you can tell this lad is going to be a special player. He gets forward whenever possible and has great delivery on crosses and unlike many modern left backs he is as good defensively as he is going forward. Also he would finally give us good delivary from set pieces.

He is probably off to man u anyways but i would have loved to see him play for us.

Lahm.... interesting!

In my opinion we need to get a better left back than Riise.

Let's hope Lahm or Veronin then are not as harsh as any of them dialects.

[einar]

A very good player.

Would love to see him join.

And I dont really think we can rule anything out in terms of transfers.
We dont know what George and Tom will do, or how much they want to spend on players.

Bayern is the most distinctive German accent and dialect, called Bayerisch. On men it sounds like someone being sick whilst eating pebbles, but on women it is strangely hypnotic. Bayern München simply means Bavaria Munich, which makes perfect sense when you know that the rest of Germany considers Bavaria to be a separate country.

I will have you shot as a traitor on May 17.

[kurtangle01]

He would be a superb signing for us.

I should have known.
