El Hombre Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I like this move. Sad to see this though. Pretty sure that's the second time they've shown a picture of Aaron Hughes in a Stalteri story. TSN.ca got the picture right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud Mouth Soup Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Sportsnet are becoming more rank amateur by the day, it seems. Almost as bad as the stupid intro/joke lines on CityNews.ca stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mluciani Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 From Sporting-Life http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/08/12/22/SOCCER_Stalteri.html German Bundesliga strugglers Borussia Monchengladbach have snapped up full-back Paul Stalteri following his release from Tottenham. The Canada captain had his contract with Spurs cancelled by mutual consent on Sunday and has wasted little time in securing a move back to Germany, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with Monchengladbach. The 31-year-old made 151 appearances in seven years for Werder Bremen before moving to White Hart Lane in 2005. He was a regular first-team starter in his first season in England but then struggled to keep his place, leading him to join Fulham on loan in January for the remainder of the 2007/08 campaign. Monchengladbach are currently bottom of the Bundesliga, having taken just 11 points from their opening 17 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Good for Paul. He can even play quite a few positions, including midfield. He can hook up with Friend and Oliver Neuville effectively. Wait until they play Bremen. Now I have a reason to burn that Spurs jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Good news for Paul, good news for his family, and good news for the CMNT. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You don't need a valid reason to burn a Spurs top...and I'm not even an Arsenal supporter. :-) I like the move to Borussia Moenchengladbach although I wouldn't suspect he'd start right away as I suspect he's missing some serious match fitness.

They're on winter break, which is great for him as the whole bunch will start fresh in the new year, he can build up fitness with the rest, and of course given the results the coach will be looking to shake things up. I hope he plays and they are saved of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping, for his sake, that he establishes himself with some regular first team appearences, and is able to replicate his defensive efforts he apparently displayed at Fulham last season. KISS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 quote:Originally posted by BearcatSA He'd probably play RB, but Paul was also a midfielder at Bremen early on. I also find him to be more effective at mid during the Mexico match, while not as strong as a RB at Spurs. He needs to play regularly, whether at back or not. But the German league is not the same as the EPL, so it's not as simple as you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 quote:Originally posted by redhat But in Stalteri's situation I believe it is. His effectiveness is premised primarily on executing the simple offensive plays and minding his defensive responsibilities within the teamwork of the back line. He has buckets of stamina so that's what makes him an effective wingback in a 3-5-2, where you have to cover acres of space both offensively and defensively. He had a strong match vs Mexico at Commonwealth primarily because he could put that ability to good use and he also effectively used the space he was afforded by the opposition that evening. I do agree that he needs to be playing regularly, because the rust sets in pretty quickly on the technical side of his game when he doesn't. And when he doesn't have the confidence of his first touch in the heat of battle, then he starts treating the ball like it's a live grenade. So I'm hoping he gets lots of playing time and can help pull BM out of the drop zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
