Zugegeben, eine ketzerische Frage. Es gibt jedoch kaum einen Stürmer in der Bundesliga, dessen
Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis zumindest zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt der Saison so eklatant
auseinandergeht. Außer vielleicht das von Mario Gomez. Der Unterschied ist allerdings, dass Gomez
oft nur eingewechselt wurde und trotzdem schon sechs Pflichtspieltore für Poldis Ex-Club FC Bayern
erzielt hat.

capitolina (esordio amaro per il neotecnico Funkel), alla settima sconfitta in otto gare di
campionato, e continua a rimanere attaccato, a quota 20 in vetta alla Bundesliga, alle "aspirine"

On the closing of the transfer window Marko Pantelic found a place in Amsterdam, where he will
wear Ajax jersey in the next year. After it seemed that Serbian international will be forced to
spend the next term in his former club Crvena Zvezda, Ajax management knocked on his door and they
obviously made the right move by signing this excellent striker.

The closing of the transfer window might be marked by the unexpected transfer
of Serbian international, Gojko Kacar from Hertha to Stuttgart. German press says that Stuttgart
are willing to pay fantastic 12 million Euros for the midfielder, but none of the
interested parties were ready to confirm this.

According to a report in German newspaper Bild, Bundesliga outfit Hertha are keen to sign Liverpool
attacker Andriy Voronin on another one-year loan deal.
The Ukrainian forward played on loan for the Berlin outfit last term, and quickly developed into a
key player. Voronin was the club's top scorer, netting 11 goals.

The season has barely started and Blue-white fans already regret that Marko Pantelic left Berlin
and want him back! Actually, the Berlin side struggled to reach the minimum win over Hannover and
they did it thanks to Gojko Kacar. The fans booed striker Arthur Wischniarek off the pitch and then
all 42 000 of them started shouting Marko Pantelic's name.

The only Bundesliga team from the capital of Germany got a new hero this season and a true
leader, Serbian international, Gojko Kacar. Hertha struggled to beat Hannover in Bundesliga opening
round at home and Gojko Kacar was the one to decide the game. After Marko
Pantelic, also a Serbian international, left the club, Kacar continued to shake the opposite nets
instead of him.

There are some clubs in the Bundesliga where even Obama fails.
Energie Cottbus grabbed a lifeline by securing the relegation play-off spot, but ended up having
not even close to a chance in their tie against FC Nuremberg, who beat them 5-0 on aggregate to end
all eastern German presence in the Bundesliga.

According to "Berliner Kurier", Manchester United are keen on Serbian utility player
Gojko Kacar, who played very well at the Under 21 Euro in Sweden. The reports are
suggesting that Hertha could be forced to sell him in order to solve difficult financial situation,
but several Italian clubs are also in the race.

I used the stats feature at ESPN Soccernet to calcluate the clubs with the best attendances. Out
of the top 20 attendances in Europe, Germany had 9 clubs. This post is to equip you with a tool to

Soccer Pie 06 June @ 10:36 AM EST
The sensation of the first part of Bundesliga this season were certainly the debutants,
Hoffenheim, led by three excellent Brazilian players, as well as equally important Bosnians,
Vedad Ibisevic and Sejad Salihovic. The best striker in the first
part of the season was Ibisevic with 18 goals scored and there would probably have been even more
if he didn't earn a serious injury that saw him out for the season.
