Talk:Manuel Neuer

2007-08 Bundesliga season
The article states "He was one of only three Bundesliga players to play every minute in the 2007–08 season". I followed the link to 2007–08 Fußball-Bundesliga, but there was no mention of this fact. So, it needs a reference (and a mention of who the other two players are). Coyets (talk) 09:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Neuer confirms that he wants to move to FC Bayern
He confirmed that he will move to a German club. 91.20.92.214 (talk) 23:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sports magazine. Wikipedia deals with facts, not with speculations. Do we have proof that he will move to Bayern Munich? No ("probable" is quite different from "100% sure"). Do we have at least proof that he will leave Schalke? No. After all, his contract runs until 2012. If such a move is confirmed, then it can be added to the article. Until then, it's just speculation. --Jaellee (talk) 10:17, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit Request, 9.6.11
Manuel Neuer has signed a 5-year contract with Bayern Munich. Can we change his club information? It was confirmed on both clubs websites. (http://www.fcbayern.telekom.de/en/news/news/2011/29734.php)

It can't be done until July 1. All transfers signed between February 1 and June 30 are official on July 1. Kingjeff (talk) 05:32, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Histroy of goalkeeper should be seperate from other player
the goalkeeper history record should not have goals scored column .... rather it should have goal scored against and clean-sheet records this would give better understanding of the goalkeepers abilities — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monish.mhatre (talk • contribs) 14:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

This has already been discussed here. --Jaellee (talk) 16:59, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

LGBT rights activist?
Hi, he's categorized as such on the Spanish Wikipedia, should we add that category here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.27.168.235 (talk) 20:53, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No, because he's not. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:30, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Contentious & Undocumented
These two words suits a part of the lead of this article very well. The part i am referring to is the following:

"He is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the sport, and by some as the greatest ever."

Why contentious?

All of us are familiar with the heat surrounding *The G.O.A.T.* debates. As for me, i only consider the opinion of those who are the legendary figures of the corresponding business. Because the opinions of others are vulnerable to "recency bias". The judges and the case remains the same but the involved parties change as the decades pass. And that's why i chose to call it contentious.

But the reason why i want it to be removed is...

Because it's undocumented

I was astonished, upon carefully checking every reference successively, by the fact that the string of citations that are meant to support the argument are nothing but a sham (fraud). Only 2 (15 and 17) out of the 24 citations are valid. And even those two are basically the same citations as they both refer to Jamie Redknapp's (who is one of the more infamous pundits in football) verdict that he is the greatest. All others do not hint, even slightly, in favour of the part (out of which 3 or 4 are blank). Citation no. 28 is laughable because it is nothing but 10 or 20 tweets from random unknown persons.

 Conclusion 

So basically a contentious material, herein, is backed by only 1 citation that further cites an individual's thoughts which, in no shape or form, represents "some". Such a contentious statement needs to be backed by atleast 15 citations (and not the ones like citation no. 28) as done in Gianluigi Buffon.

 Suggested measure 

The aforesaid part be removed from the article.

2021-2022 Season
I noticed there isn't anything on the current season yet. Neuer reached 300 wins for Bayern in the 4-0 win against Hoffenheim. Is MSN an appropriate source for this, or should I find something else? Perfect4th (talk) 17:41, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


 * In my opinion that source is okay. --Jaellee (talk) 20:03, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, I went ahead and added the information. I extended the time frame for the section "2020-22: The Sextuple and new records" to cover this season, but maybe saying "present" instead of "22" would work better here? Perfect4th (talk) 21:02, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. 2020–22 looked like a typo to me at first glance since I expected 2020–21 I don't know if "present" would be better. --Jaellee (talk) 22:34, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I checked a couple other footballers' pages and both "present" and "22" are used, but "22" seems more common. I'll leave it as is for now. Perfect4th (talk) 17:26, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Outcomes of international tournaments
The only sections in the International Career section that contain the outcomes of international tournaments are the 2014 and 2018 World Cups; Euro 2012 only describes the group stage, and Euro 2020 doesn't contain much information about Germany's tournament games at all. Should Neuer's page mention how far Germany got, or should it only mention the matches most relevant to Neuer? Perfect4th (talk) 20:32, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Homophobic chants by Mexican fans
The way the article describes the situation of the misunderstanding of Neuer’s sexuality makes it seem as if the Mexican fans were shouting homophobic chants to him because they were informed about the rumors. Mexican fans, as they have been doing for a while, shout the word “puto” to every opposing goalkeeper in practically all of the tournaments Mexico plays in, regardless of their knowledge about the player’s sexuality. 195.37.30.68 (talk) 01:53, 3 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Belatedly done. The Guardian source says that Mexico and several other Latin American countries did this chant to innumerable players for no reason. It certainly doesn't say it's all down to an obscure website misquoting him Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:47, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
