Didi Hamann's comments on the Padolski move was interesting.
He said that he didn't think that Padolski would make it in the EPL. While he has been good at a small club in a town where he grew up and everyone loves him, he just doesn't have what it takes to make it at a big club. e.g. Bayern. There he impressed so much that he couldn't even get a starting place.
That doesn't explain how he's been sh!t hot at international level though. If someone's good at football...they're good at football!
Agreed he's been good with Germany, didn't say he was sh1t. Just mentioned what Didi had to say on the matter.
To be fair though, Germany have a top quality team and they can even make an average player in Padolski look good.
