[edit] Tidying the stats

Can someone fix the apps for Bayern Munich? Obviously he didn't play in the FA Cup or League Cup with the German side, but I have no idea what they really meant in that chart, so... :) – ugen64 03:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, what exactly do you mean? Appearances are the first figure, followed by goals in brackets. Stu 09:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

This is the easiest way to tabulate the data. Had he have appeared in any other competitions in foreign leagues, we probably would have meant "the country's equivalent trophy". It's of no consequence. Bobo. 06:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I've divided up the countries to show the equivalent cups in there columns with there links. Please note. Up to the 96/97 season the German League Cup was the Super Cup like the English Charity Shiled, I treated it as such and put it in the other column with dashes showing the League Cup didn't exist as such.

[edit] Transfer

What a weird day! Here's hoping that he's decided to stay at Liverpool :) aLii 16:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

I disputed the currently neutrality of this article as there are many flowery words used to describe him that have no citation. Granted Hamann is a great player but there is need of citation to support the article.

Yes, this article needs to be neutralised badly. But user:GoldDragon deleted the citations tags without adding the needed sources, using a misleading edit summary [1]. Please revert this user or warn him for removing the citation tags the next time. 213.251.160.26 08:30, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, a google search gave some links as to Hamann's performance in the CL final:

"But it wasn't going to be as easy as that. Liverpool, stiffened immensely by the arrival of Hamann, had gone deep into their reserves and if Milan were shocked to the core of their old bones, they still had a rich reservoir of talent and experience and as the match stretched into extra time there was a terrible fear that Liverpool, having pushed back the laws of football credibility for so long, would fail in a most agonising way."

"If Gerrard dominated the second half, released forward by Didi Hamann's timely arrival, the marvellous Kaka had graced the opening period. Within seconds, the young Brazilian drew a foul from Djimi Traore. Andrea Pirlo bent in the free kick, no one reacted to Maldini's delayed run and the distinguished Italian beat Jerzy Dudek with a right-footed half-volley.

For 45 minutes, Liverpool simply could not handle Milan's midfield. With Pirlo sitting deep and dictating the tempo, Gennaro Gattuso and Clarence Seedorf shuttled back and forth, repossessing the ball, redistributing, always keeping things ticking over while Kaka played the magician in the middle, a central feeding station towards Crespo and Shevchenko. No wonder Benitez elected to introduce Hamann at the interval to stiffen the midfield."

...

"Liverpool's resistance movement was up and running. The great escape looked possible two minutes later when Liverpool struck again, memorably so. Hamann's presence was immediately being felt, not simply in allowing Gerrard to roam forward, but in providing simple passes to team-mates. One such lay-off invited Smicer to let fly from range, the ball deceiving Dida and crashing in. Amazing."

"Emotion was only part of it. The tactical key to Liverpool's revival was the arrival of Hamann, that wily, gritty German, who plugged the gaps around Alonso and provided fresh composure and confidence." 89.246.35.193 17:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
