It's another lighthearted comment mate. Anyone else would probably have perceived that (and who knows, maybe allowed themselves a smile) but instead you have ascribed to me an opinion which is held by precisely nobody in order to maintain your shaky premise for arguing with me.

Podolski is a striker who plays as a winger. You only have to watch him play to realise he's a striker (in fact he does less defensive work than most out-and-out strikers do these days). This conversation is over.

Well you obviously think you know more than Wenger and the Germany manager.
 
Matthias Ginter listed as a midfielder is more interesting*. I think he's only played there a couple of times - goes against the idea that they've all been listed by defensive positions. More likely than anything it was just written by some intern who doesn't really give a ****.

*and by interesting, I mean slightly less tedious than the rest of the discussion.

So edgy with your knowledge of German football.
 
Croatia has a good, tough a bit unbalanced squad. We have a few near world-class players in Rakitić, Modrić (both selected in La Liga team of the year), Lovren and Mandžukić. There is also Kovačić from Inter Milan, one of the most promising talents around. Then a number of solid players like Olić(former Bayern player) and Perišić from Wolfsburg, Srna and Da Silva (former Arsenal player) from Sakhtar, Ćorluka from Zenit (former Tottenham player).

But we lack strenght in depth and we don't have a good solution for positions like left back (Pranjić from Phanatinaikos, Strinić), defensive midfielder (Vukojević from Dynamo Kiev) and we don't have any wingers except maybe Perišić, so Olić usually pretends to be a winger.

Team looks like this. (Pletikosa on goal, plays in Russia, but very reliable keeper, more than 100 appereances for the national team)

Srna - Ćorluka - Lovren - Pranjić
Vukojević - Modrić
Olić - Rakitić - Perišić
Mandžukić​

Corluka as a CB? Is that a weakness in that team. I seem to remember him being a very slow full back. I may have that wrong.
 
I wouldn't call any one in the Croatia world class, but then I would say the same for England most probably.
