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.

Fair point. Lampard's got a horrible record of creating chances for others. Only the 2nd best in Premier League history. He's played in some god-awful teams with Chelsea. Been a man alone adrift in a sea of dross, hasn't he. Those shite Chelsea sides over the years...amazing that he's accomplished so much without any good players around him.
-
It's all rather moot I suppose. Both would at this conversation.
-
Lampard wouldn't get chances at Newcastle. Pirlo would provide chances for the players we already have.
-
Proffers a wildly outrageous opinion, for which he is criticized by all. Takes a pot-shot at the American, because derp and ENGURRLAND.
-
Pirlo is one of the best midfielders ever. Easily.
-
Nope. One of the best players of the PL era and one of the best England has ever produced. Not a soul here has hated on him.

Howard; F. Johnson, Goodson, González, Beasley; Jones, Beckerman; Bedoya, Dempsey, Donovan; E. Johnson Howard Goodson Gonzalez F. Johnson Beasley Beckerman Jones Dempsey Bedoya Donovan E. Johnson Fabian started at RB in the '12 friendly win at the Azteca. That CB pairing of Goodson and Gonzalez is cringeworthy. Good luck sticking with Chicharito, dos Santos, Barrera, etc. Beckerman had better be ready. Really would've liked to see Diskerud get the start at CM, he's good on the ball, can pick out the pass. Whereas Jones is an utter turd. Really not feeling good about this one.
-
Right, of course.
-
As if that matters. See Pirlo, Italy. He's got a point though. Lampard is still a very good player no doubt. But it should be worrying that no one has put up a serious challenge to his spot yet either. He's good, but he's not Pirlo.

Well, they've done so for good reason. South Florida at least is where professional sports go to die. And Tampa ran into financial/stadium difficulties while they were around. But yeah, it's time to stop punishing the rest of the state. Orlando clearly has the infrastructure and support to host an MLS franchise.

The same Sturridge who has 16 goals and 6 assists in 21 games for Liverpool? Carroll can only dream of numbers like that I know.That's why it's more of a dream than a belief. Don't get me wrong,Sturridge is a quality player. He has yet to prove it at International level though. I'd just prefer an old fashioned England CF that was what I was trying to say. Carroll is,along with Lambert. The rest aren't in that respect. I always had a wish Newcastle had signed Dean Ashton in his prime too. It would of worked out for both of us imo.....

Rumors flying around that he's out for another few months. EDIT:
