Biggest worry for Bayern with the Klose/Toni front line isn't their 2006/2007 form, it's more whether they are too similar in style to play side by side. Have to wait and see about that.
Ah yes, the good old "he's too old" reasoning, didn't Machester United use that on Ruud van Nistelrooy? But really, Toni is only a year younger, although he is much younger in terms of years at top level soccer. Anyway, you called it, Makaay will reportedly today sign with Feyenoord.
