He moved to Stuttgart right? Lets see if they'll give him those opportunities.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 08-02-2007, 07:10 PM

Yes, loaned to Stuttgart. I'm not sure though, Gomez and Cacau have been class.

**Trim** · 08-02-2007, 07:14 PM

^ Indeed... Gomez looks untouchable. He could come in as a sub for Cacau, or even start in a few games.

Kuranyi scored scored the opener for Schalke against Hertha.
2-0 the final score

**Trim** · 10-02-2007, 05:05 PM

Schalke won 2-0 home against Hertha, and Kuranyi scored one of the goals.

**Trim** · 17-02-2007, 05:50 PM

Kevin Kuranyi scored both Schalke goals in their 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg. He cannot stop scoring...

**Oliver_Kahn** · 19-02-2007, 11:07 AM

I like to see him scoring, he's a great striker who had a bad start.

But if he continues like this, Poldi's place on Germany XI might be on jeopardy.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 25-03-2007, 01:38 PM

2 good goals yesterday, he is proving he has what it takes to be a Germany NT starter

Kevin Kuranyi has boldly claimed that his Schalke team can win against Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena at the weekend.

Schalke are top of the Bundesliga table, three points clear of Werder Bremen, while reigning champions Bayern are down in fourth place - seven points off the pace.

"We have earned the self-confidence to say we will travel anywhere and win - even in Munich,'' Kuranyi said.

The weekend presents a pivotal moment in the race for the title. If Bayern triumph at home on Saturday and Bremen beat mid-table Energie Cottbus, Schalke could find themselves in second again. That would prove devastating for a club that has not won the league since 1958.

"To win in Bayern would be a milestone for our self-confidence,'' Kuranyi added. "We have beaten Bremen twice and Stuttgart recently. All that is missing is Bayern.''

Ottmar Hitzfeld, coach of the Bavarian giants, has also done his utmost to stir things up ahead of the match.

"First place can bring pressure that's hard to deal with," he said. "You can see that in Schalke's last few matches."

The Gelsenkirchen club only managed a draw with Hannover two weeks ago and have recently lost to Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.

Haha, you'll leave the field with head down Kuranyi. You and your team mates.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 30-03-2007, 12:03 PM

He could dangerous to cope with, if van Buyten and Lucio aren't focused like they were against Frankfurt.

Let's hope for a Bayern win tomorrow!

Kuranyi contributed with a goal in Schalke 2-0 win against Gladbach.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 08-04-2007, 01:57 PM

Kuranyi is class.

Schalke's lunchtime training session was over after little more than an hour on Friday. Head coach Mirko Slomka and his players took their leave from another big training ground crowd after completing various shooting drills and a goal-packed practice match. The squad then set off for the team hotel ahead of tomorrow's Bundesliga clash in Mainz (kick-off: 1530 CET).

Most importantly, there are no further injuries to report. With the exception of the injured quintet of Peter Lovenkrands, Soren Larsen, Sebastian Boenisch, Gustavo Varela and Ralf Fährmann, Slomka has a full squad at his disposal and, following the return of Lincoln and Fabian Ernst from suspension, a number of alternatives in midfield.

Schalke have a talisman in the shape of Kevin Kuranyi, the only player in the squad who has yet to lose in Mainz. The Germany striker missed last season's 1-0 defeat due to suspension. "That's right, although I haven't given it much thought to be honest", admitted Kuranyi after training today. But he did stress that he was keen to hang onto his unbeaten record, saying: "We're going to give more than a hundred percent tomorrow to make sure it stays that way."
