Some football strikers are just meant to be written in the sands of time. If not for what they have achieved, then the opinions they've divided. Miroslav Klose is one of them.
Born to Polish parents, this German international would not fail to baffle people. He is two goals to overtaking the great Ronaldo in world cup highest goal scorers' chat. He has the best goal scoring record for the German national team. Yet in club football, he seems to stutter.
While his counterparts like Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Samuel Eto'o were busy being prolific for their clubs, Klose continued to stutter in his club. But whenever he puts on the white and black of Germany, he becomes a beast. Whenever he plays for Germany, Mario Gomez is relegated to the bench. But Bayern, Klose takes the reverse role.
His contract recently expired at German giants, Bayern Munich. Now, getting a new club can never be a problem for a player of his calibre. Yet whoever wants to buy this Frank Lampard look-alike would realise his team isn't Germany.
Who cares anyway? After all, they would have a legend with them. Even if he fails to score goals, he is sure to give you something to talk...and wonder...about.
