ss

In the German alphabet, ß is a consonant letter that evolved as a ligature of "long s and z" (ſz) and "long s over round s" (ſs). Like double "s", when speaking it is pronounced [s] . In standard spelling, it is only used after long vowels and diphthongs, while ss is written after short vowels. Even though long s (ſ) has otherwise disappeared from German orthography, ß is still used as a ligature and is replaced by 'SS' or 'SZ' in capitalized spelling. Its German name is Eszett (IPA: [ʔɛsˈt͡sɛt], the lexicalized expression for "sz") or scharfes S (IPA: [ˈʃaʁfəs ˈʔɛs, ˈʃaːɐ̯fəs ˈʔɛs], "sharp S").

thanks mate

Exactly, "ß" and "ss" are basically pronounced like the english "s", while the German "s" is pronounced more like the english "z".

fatman you dissapoint me ... if you'd have heard of Kiesling you'd knew how to pronounce that ! :lol!:

i really hope he stays

Seriously, how has Higgy been out wide=?

ever heard madrid fans go on about Benguain all the time???

Higgy started on the wings then, great great partnership the only time it really failed was in the Copa against Barca where both were left isolated because of Mou's not so advanced tactics

So I guess I do want him to go to Bayern now? :X

hmmm that wouldve been a good way to figure it out, just didnt think of it

Well, Higuain is going to look at Gomez' misses during the Bayern/Madrid tie (and htey were bad lol) and gonna look at a contract where he's offered playing time proportional to the goals he scores... now with Gomez in his eyes getting 40 goals a season with the finishing rate he presented in the tie Higuain is gonna think lol I can do better and start for a club that regularly knocks out RM from the UCL

just bring the 40 millions lol

Couldn't top 80 millions for Ribéry

Last time I checked you were in (manageable compared to Barca & Man U) dept

This ain't going to happen but I'd wank so hard if it did.

Higgs deserves first team football, IMO.

To chelsea for 25m pls

Spanish press say he is going to Juventus. Not sure he will do will with Conte's high intensity forwards defending type game.

He's hardworking as frack. Another great attitude of his. He'd do well in many places.

So if Higuian goes to Juventus who will be thier SS

Vucinic? or will they buy back Giovinco or go mad and get Jovetic

probably to juv. Juv is in need of a solid, clinical striker. Plus, del piero is leaving :[

Higuain will be great for us, since he's young (funny how he's younger than Giroud) and he can also play on the wings, he can rotate with Gomez, Ribery and like someone suggested we can change formation every now and then to create space for him.

We've to be flexible and Higuain is about the only striker out there that can improve our attack. Just Seasons ago we had Klose and Luca Toni as our strikers and still bought Olic, Gomez, Robben and Promoted Muller.

We can not afford to have just one top striker as Hoeness has already pointed out, it all seems to be working out fine until something unusual happens.

Playing time will not be problem for Higuain, I am sure he'll get enough playing time and he'll also make Gomez up his game. I expect Higuain to play all 4 attacking position.

Imagine the flexibility Higuain can bring to the team

Real are accepting no less than 40 apparently and even then they said they will negotiate higher

Bayern will sign him for nothing more than 20-25m and Madrid will gladly accept.

Money is not the issue, the Board has already promised to spend 40million on a striker.

Don't expect any more signing, after we've reached agreement for.

Shaqiri, Dante, Wieser.

all that is reaming now are

Back-up goalkeeper
Bomb striker
Free agent striker

Vuci was always SS he is great at the role given by conte to pull ppl but he is SS and he thrives there when he wants to play and is motivated he is beast and thorn for any defense in the world.

---Vucinic---Matri----Higuain ?

I like it but the dream remains
-----Torres--Falcao---Vucinic
-----Jovetic--Falcao---Vucini--

If Higuain goes to bayern, Gomez would become second choice. Yeah, that is how good i think he is.

not the only1

We can always exchange strikers, send us gomez for higuain, Mr le chat is going to need a water carrier

Higuain will only leave if he is going to be the first choice striker at a big club because:

1) If he still has to rely on rotation, he might as well stay at Madrid, as that is where his heart is, and you basically can't get much higher in terms of prestige etc. Also with some of the high wage benchwarmers like Kaka, Albiol and Lass now indubitably leaving, he can expect a higher wage too (especially if Madrid wants him to stay).
2) Smaller clubs like Juventus or Pool cannot realistically afford him at this time, and smaller teams that can like PSG are simply not teams a player like Higuain at this stage in his career with his talent would opt for (ESPECIALLY if he wants to stay competitive for the NT).
3) Clubs that can afford him (the top 5 heavy hitters or so), are not in need of a striker of that calibre or are otherwise completely out of the picture (like Barca, although would solve their problems haha).

The only team I can see him going to is Chelsea, perhaps in some sort of deal with Kaka too.

I think he will ultimately stay though, Mou will promise him more minutes. Also, he is technically ALSO
competing with Di Magia, especially as Kaka leaves, not just Benz. The Benz/Higuain partnership works well,
and Di Maria is neither really loved with the fans or much of a contribution (I would honestly prefer to see him go and have Higgy on the wing)

PSG or even Anzhi are most probable move unless Man City let Tevez go and get Higuain but because the price that they can get for Tevez is not anywhere close to Higuain makes it a tad unrealistic but OiL Money can come handy

I dont know how long is his contract but the only way out for him is to wait till it ends and join Man United or Juventus
