Club side more than likely, international side not at all for me.
Lampard has the edge in goals certainly but in his ten years at AC pirlo won an absolute shed load and I'd argue he was a massive contributor.
I'd also argue he played a huge part in Juve's latest title wins.
True but there are more ball playing replacement types than Lampard types for me. Plus swap the pair and Chelsea would be worser off for it purely in style terms during that period IMO.
Lampard is a far, far better Nolan RE: the above.
I'd agree with that, but I think it's wholly incorrect to suggest that Pirlos contribution to his team was less significant than lampard's IMO . But I agree that the box to box midfielder is a real rarity nowadays.
As is the regista tbf.
Not as prevalent certainly. It's what Cabaye could be if he's forced to play deep
With the right personnel around him, he'd be very good there.
