Mole_Toonfan Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 And even Zola considering the job he had to do could be argued had relative success..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So basically, all of them except Zola have been extremely succesful. Nice theory. Was Lombardo manager at Palace for a while or have I made that up? Player manager aye! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So basically, all of them except Zola have been extremely succesful. Nice theory. Was Lombardo manager at Palace for a while or have I made that up? Part of a dream team "Lombardo, along with Swedish international Tomas Brolin as an interpreter, was appointed as caretaker player-manager, for the rest of the season."

Dinho lad Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Poor man's David Silva. Chips in with goals though. Is he hell! He's a superb talent. A bit quicker than Silva and probably scores more goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's been playing for Dortmund, and putting in many superb displays, for the last 2 seasons now. Sorry, that's nearly as bad as Shearer saying not many people have heard of HBA.

You're making out that being a poor man's David Silva was me insinuating that he is bad. He is an excellent player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frazernufc Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Haha my opinion has being screwed up by these facts. But the only credible managers are Ancelotti and Mancini that have done anything and that was with the best teams in the league so wasn't anything exceptional, and even then Ancelotti got sacked. Di Matteo and the likes of Di Canio are id say exceptions to my theory in that they have played in England for a while and have learnt the game in the best experience of doing so, by playing it. I just never see Italians adapt to the English game aswell as other nations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I would'nt say he's like Silva though..... he's alot quicker and more direct and tries to cut open defenses with through balls and scores a lot more. I'd argue he's more like Cesc Fabregas than any other AM out there..... maybe a little quicker and better technically though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 David Silva being one of the best players in the world Most players who link midfield and attack are going to be a poor mans David Silva. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's what I mean. He's the same height, build, position and playing style to Silva but not as good. The one advantage he has is that he scores more goals, which I acknowledged in my first post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 He isn't, though. He's not too far off Silva at all, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just never see Italians adapt to the English game aswell as other nations All of them are exceptions to your theory man So what if they are managing top clubs, you've got to be managing a top club to win the title and they've still done an excellent job. Ancellotti's Chelsea were one of the most formidable sides the league has seen, his sacking was absolutely farcical. Italy has always produced the best coaches and their success over here backs it up. Di Canio is another excellent example! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
