    That would be a great move by Real. Wonder how much it will cost them?

    But really claud, he's a great player and I wish Bayern could keep him but he'll leave because they're not starting him.

    Won't happen this season as they have plently of good strikers even with Rob gone. Plus they don't need a great team to win this time due to barca's downfall.

    I would like getting a forward to replace Raul, but not Poldolski. He hasn't convinced me at all.

    Raul and Podolski aren't the same type of player as podolski is a surporting striker whereas Raul prefers to be normal striker. Maybe get someone like Adriano (i spelt it wrong).

    Nope, you spelled it right. I like Adriano, although I haven't heard much about him recently. Is he injured, or just out of favor?

    São Paulo
    On November 16, 2007, Inter owner Massimo Moratti sent Adriano on unpaid leave to his native Brazil for the second time in eighteen months, as he was set to attend São Paulo FC's training center, due to his poor physical condition and a past battle with alcoholism. Though his agent denied Adriano's desire to return to Brazilian club football, Adriano claimed he was willing to leave Inter in the January transfer window in search of regular playing time, with the Italian press stating interest from West Ham United and Manchester City F.C.[6] In December 2007, Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra expressed interest in bringing Adriano to the club during the January transfer window, commenting, "Adriano was a top player, but he lost form when his father died, and he put on weight." [7] Moratti, however, stated that Adriano would remain with Inter. "I would like him back here in January, as strong and as good as he was." [8] On December 10, Inter technical director Marco Branca said that Adriano was expected to rejoin the team at the start of the new year. "[The] news has been good. We intend to leave him in peace until the end of the programme and then he will be treated like the other players." [9]

    Inter finalized a deal on December 19 to loan Adriano to São Paulo for the remainder of the 2007-08 season in order to allow him to compete in the '07-08 Copa Libertadores.[10] São Paulo fans were soon seen standing in long lines to buy his new number 10 jersey at the team's official merchandise retailer after Adriano was introduced and his shirt was unveiled at a team press conference.[11] Adriano celebrated his competitive debut with São Paulo by scoring both goals in their 2-1 victory over Guaratinguetá on the opening day of the 2008 Paulista tournament.

    Adriano was sent off after head butting Santos fullback Domingos on February 10, 2008, and was suspended for two matches after initially risking a suspension of eighteen months.[12] He was fined by São Paulo on February 29 after arriving thirty minutes late for training, then leaving early and exchanging words with a photographer. According to team sporting director Marco Aurelio Cunha, Adriano “left the training ground because he wanted to. The team does not miss him. If he is not happy at São Paulo he is free to go."[13]

    On June 17, São Paulo sporting director Carlos Augusto de Barros e Silva announced that Adriano was returning to Inter ahead of schedule. "We have a balanced squad and it was better for Adriano to go back, given that we won’t be able to count on him for the rest of the campaign.”[14]

    Off wikipedia^

    He is currently in the inter squad although he is losing the battle mentaly with himself.

    He's still young and can turn it around..
    I remember when he played for Brazil in Copa America a few years back and was a dominant player on the pitch.
    Hopefully he regains form.

    Hasn't he been fantastic for the national team and not so great for club? I know that's been the case since he joined Bayern.

    Well his first team chances are limited by Klose and Toni's dominance, so they play him out of position for half the games, and in the national team he is a solid player nothing fantastic.
