I did not see too much of them but they are rated higher by Kicker for
whatever that is worth? I just personally think Boateng is a really
good player. Then again i really liked Beck as well and he may never
see the national team again?

I would say he is the least impressive of the group?

Some are for sure. However, do you pay big money for a player based on
one tournament (if so you get El Hadji Diouf and the like) or several
solid league seasons?

Plus the asking price for players not involved in the WC has to be a
better deal, no ?



I am also very surprised at Boateng's performance. HSV

I must admit I havn't seen much of Braafheid, Breno and Ottl, but as for
Sosa, yes, he seems like a wasted talent by his own doing!!!

Good players, especially Belhadj, who can run all day and attack well from
the back!!!

He would have been perfect to replace (if he is being replaced) Mart�n
Demichelis, however Bayern should go for a younger defender to partner van
Buyten!!!
