Great argument. Maybe we should replace Lahm with Moritz Volz because he plays in a more competitive league. And Mertesacker/Metzelder with Huth.Deisler said:Odonkor, he is younger, plays in a far more competitive league than the BL and most importantly doesn't travel with his brain doctor.
A 20% fit Deisler over Odonkor any day of the week, that's a no-brainer. Odonkor is not and will never be more than a nice sub in the second half. It doesn't matter if he plays for some **** team in Spain or not.
When Schneider retires in 2008 there should be a few more youngsters ready to play for the senior team: Trochowski and Hilbert for the wings, Rolfes, Polanski, Castro, Boateng, Ottl for CM.
Or simply Schweini on the right and Borowski on the left.
