Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I gather that Dave doesn't like defensive/holding midfield players, but the guy is fantastic. Stop judging him on that West Ham match from 2006. He's a different player now. Consistently a top performer in the Premiership, Champions League and on the international stage with Argentina.

ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Looks like Balotelli is a done deal to City. Wonder if it will be re-invested immediately or pocketed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I`m not sure, Moratti seem to be looking to secure the financial situation for the long term, which i agree totally on. There are some high earners at the club and the squad is as good as last year. I really see no reason to stir up too much. Balo really needed to go, been obvious too long now without action to it, i`m glad he's going. I think Coutinho or Biabiany will step into Balotelli's place this season. They're probably not as talented, but their attitudes are much better. Balotelli was just a squad player last season after all. Coutinho looks a really good player and his attitude is very un-Brazilian like. Seems focused on his football rather than other distractions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly agree that Cambiasso is the best and yes I do think they should be fairly creative instead of a knucklehead. Essien, Schweinsteiger (not strictly a DM really), Barry etc are the kind of DM's I like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Cambiasso has been the best midfielder in Serie A for 5 years solid. Straight up beast defensively but offers a hell of a lot going forward aswell. Best free transfer in history and the best 'DM' in the world, imo. I don't count Essien as a DM, btw.

Disco Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Strange one, guess its somebody to replace Biscuits when you're playing a team thats needs kicking and fouling repeatedly or with a ref who likes being constantly moaned at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's vastly over-rated, and offers Liverpool very little, Cambiasso is a much better player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Cambiasso isn't better than Mascherano like, not a fan of Mascherano and think he is fairly overrated, he is a fairly dirty player who's main skill seems to be getting away with more than he should. especially in foul numbers. I guess if his is job is to break up the game then he is superb at it but thats not a modern DM in way shape or form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm not saying De Rossi is of the same level of Scott Brown, he's obviously a lot more talented. They remind me of each other though, both total knuckleheads on the pitch and off it and both have overinflated transfer fees placed on their heads. If De Rossi is Roma's future captain, I worry for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't think Mascherano has anywhere near the footballing ability to play for Barca like, think he'll stick out like a sore thumb and will end up playing second fiddle to Busquets.
