Why don't you exaggerate more and say that you are better than him, shut the fuck up and think of what you are saying.

Rensing is Crappy, he is nowhere near Bayern quality, but Podolski is a good player but not in our system, he must leave as soon as possible, he is a whining little girl that's true, but saying he is crappy that's totally childish.

Look dude, Okay we all know that he is a promising striker, Thats right, But his performances with Bayern looked shitty, thats why i'm insulting him, BTW Klose is trying to help the team, Back defense work hard pass well....Okay he didnt score alot of goals with bayern, But I think the player who gives his soul and his 100% of his football to the club we cannot insult him...

Poldi: I'll Make Up My Mind In Winter

Bayern Munich forward Lukas Podolski has refused to rule out a move away from the Allianz Arena in January, but insists that he is determined to fight for a starting berth in the meantime...

Podolski has been left continually to kick his heels on the Bayern bench as under pressure manager Jurgen Klinsmann persists with Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni as his first choice striking duo.

With starting opportunities increasingly hard to come by, 'Poldi' admits that he may be finally set to quit the German champions.

However, after Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's barbed comments about Podolski, the 23 year-old declared that his immediate priority remains breaking into the Bayern starting XI.

This week, Rummenigge, the club's chairman, criticised Podolski for his lax attitude and accused the young forward of putting individual ambition ahead of a collective team goal.

He told the press: “I do not understand what he wants. I demand that he is committed to Bayern and does everything he can to help the club. He has a contract until June 2010 – he should focus on that.”

Acknowledging that he may be forced away from the Bavarian club in order to find first-team football, Podolski also stated that he is ready to fight for a place in Klinsmann's starting line-up for the time being.

He did not however, confirm that his long-term future lay at the Allianz Arena.

He told Bild: “Mr Rummenigge has the right to criticise his players.

“I can only say that I am fully focused on Bayern. It is a difficult situation for me, but I am clear about that.

“Sure, I would like to play from the start sometimes. At the moment, I am not concerning myself with anything else.

“I don’t think I will make a decision until the winter.”

Away from club duty, Podolski remains a key player for Die Mannschaft. After making his debut for Germany in 2004, Podolski has gone on to wrack up 57 caps for the side, scoring 30 goals in the process.

He admits to enjoying the freedom afforded to him with the national side, and states that manager Joachim Low believes in his ability to influence matches over 90 minutes.

He continued: “It does me good to free myself. When you play the full 90 minutes, you automatically play in a different way.

“Jogi Low [Germany manager] is convinced of my qualities – just like me. We both know what I can do.”

Schuster: I Don’t Want Podolski

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has stated that he has absolutely no interest in signing Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski should the German striker become available.

In an interview with Marca, the German trainer played down the qualities of Podolski and doubted his ability to make it at a top club thereby ending any talk that he would be looking to bring him to Madrid.

While Podolski is a regular for the German national side, he still struggles for game time with Bayern Munich and for that reason Schuster believes he is not an attractive option for the Spanish giants.

While admitting that the 23 year old had a lot to offer, the Real boss added that performing well for the national team was not everything.

According to Schuster the environment at the Allianz Arena is already like a goldfish bowl, and moving to the Bernabeu would just be a death sentence for the German striker.

“He has a lot to offer, but when he left Köln I had my doubts” Schuster explained.

“He is a modest young man and he needs people around him, who support him. At clubs like Bayern and Real you have to be able to fight for your place” he added.

Schuster believes that his belief in the player’s ability is backed up by the fact that Podolski has only so far managed a role as a reserve at Bayern since his move from Köln.

WELL SAID SCHUSTER!! That is exactly how I feel, and it seems that everyone at Bayern feels. Players just have to have the mental ability to fight for a place when you come to Bayern. Poldi expects to be the hero and super star and have his hand held -- well he received alot of that at Köln -- which is why Poldi will never ever be a super star at Bayern or other big clubs with his current attitude. Never!

Also, Playing well a few games in the NT doesn't prove anything as Schuster points out. Yet Poldi keeps talking up shit to bayern about how well he does on one game or another with the NT, yet it doesn't mean shit. Form for a NT does NOT equal form for a club team.

So Poldi isn't going to make it at the biggest clubs in the world, as he needs to fight for your place and prove himself. Which is also why many players have come and gone at Bayern without seeing much of them -- Dos Santos, Schlaudraff, etc., etc. So he sure as hell can forget Real, Arsenal or anyone else except bum-shit clubs like Köln!!!!

Why can't Podolski be for us the same one he is for Germany NT? God damn.

[Munchen Minded]

I'm with you Trim, I wish he was on fire for Bayern. I would love to keep Poldi, he is a great player when he wants to be. I just don't get his mentality.

Great post man. You said it all.

Podolski is a great player for FC Koln and another small clubs.... Not For FC Bayern Munich or Real Madrid ( Bernd Schuster )

and Schuster is right!

Bayern bosses dark on Podolski

Germany striker Lukas Podolski faces another stint on Bayern Munich's bench after a further ticking off from manager Uli Hoeness and his departure from the German giants looks increasingly likely.

With Italy striker Luca Toni injured, Podolski played in the last two league games against Wolfsburg and Frankfurt, but poor performances means he can expect to be back on the bench against Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have both expressed interest in signing Podolski and the player himself has hinted at a return to former club Cologne when the transfer window opens in January.

After Bayern's 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, Munich manager Hoeness again criticised Podolski and the chances of seeing out his contract, which runs until June 2010, look slim.

"He had two chances and did not use them," fumed Hoeness, who told the 23-year-old to "stop whining" earlier this season when Podolski complained about being left on the bench for a second consecutive season.

Bayern's bosses are frustrated Podolski seems to have no problems scoring for Germany - he has netted 31 times for die Mannschaft in 59 games - yet has hit only 11 goals in 57 appearances since joining Bayern in 2006.

"He plays at 80 per cent against teams such as Liechtenstein or San Marino," said Hoeness. "The problem is he scores two goals against Liechtenstein and is jubilant."

Podolski scored the first goal in the 2-1 win over Russia earlier this month in a World Cup qualifier, but while he goes from strength to strength with Germany his position at Bayern grows precariously weak.

"It would be easier for him to bring forward arguments to support his case with a couple of good performances," said Bayern coach Jurgen Klinsmann. And his Bayern team-mate Miroslav Klose also criticised him.

"If he needs someone to cuddle and support him, perhaps he should buy a cat," said the striker in a thinly-veiled assertion patience is running out.

And Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently questioned Podolski's motivation.

"I do not understand what he wants. I require of him that he does everything he can for Bayern Munich and shows commitment to the cause," he said.

Yep -- he can't even use his chances correctly. Poldi just isn't for Bayern regardless of what potential or talent anyone thinks he has -- he just cannot and will not adapt to Bayern and their tactics. Sell him now and get someone who can adapt well. I think Poldi only came to Munich so he could party and mess around, it has nothing to do with football at all.

[Trim]

One more match for him on Saturday against Bielefeld, or not?

Toni is definately out for it too.
