Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 A f***ing great player who never gets the recognition he deserves in this country. Fantastic technique, sublime vision and yet a massive c*** but as the Roma fans will testify he is their c***. Loved his role that was originally defined under Spalletti too. Eh, why does he DESERVE recognition in this country like? That's like saying Matt Le Tissier deserves recognition in Italy. Coincidentally very similar players... Totti was a great club/league player for Roma but was never world-class and certainly not deserving of recognition here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very similar players actually. Although I understand that while Le Tissier was banging them in, you were too busy marveling at Paul McGrath so its probably understanding that you don't get the similarities. Anyway... how indeed does Totti deserve UK recognition?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 They are, both one club men, both a bit lazy/temperamental, both more of a forward than a striker and both capable of genius. People forget just how good Le Tissier was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the lynchpin at a shit club like Saints is slightly different to being the equivalent at a team who try and do something like Roma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the lynchpin at a s*** club like Saints is slightly different to being the equivalent at a team who try and do something like Roma. Accepted, but in terms of individual ability, they are or were very similar. Anyway my intention wasn't to compare the two exactly, but to ask why on earth does Totti deserve to be recognized over here?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Iniesta, Falcao, Nesta (to name a randome 3) or whoever who hasn't played in England should be recognised because they're top players regardless of whether they've played in the 'best league in the world'. The PL is not the be all and end all, it never has been and never will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'll be honest, I've got fuck all interest in foreign football. The only time i see these players is in international tournaments or when they inevitably play Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway... how indeed does Totti deserve UK recognition?! The thing is we probably got into football around the same time even though your loads older than me too. Also your patronising doesn't work as you've yet again shown your Premier League bias. Fwiw Le Tissier was class but not in the same league as somebody like Totti. But you just wrote out my opinion for me which was nice of you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Somebody like Totti would definitely be appreciated if they had ever played in England to be fair. Can imagine if Berbatov had never played in England and only appeared on the scene twice a year for a CL tie he'd be the type that would get the poncy overrated foreigner treatment. He's not at Totti's level but most English football fans would agree he's a class act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Berbatov's stock has gone down since he went under the Man U microscope. He's far more suited to a slower pace of football, anyway, so he's not a great example. You're right though, Totti would go down in PL history had he come over here 8 years ago instead of staying in that joke of a league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Next topic suggestion - Edgar Davids? Totti was quality but he was a nasty bastard. I loved his backheel pen, albeit in training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think Totti is top, top class but he strikes me as the sort, who would have ended up going to Chelsea for big money, struggled because of the style of football his team played and the incumbent players in his position, then left after two/three years with a reputation as a failure after he went back to starring in Italy.

You could say that about loads of players though, it's all hypothetical. Chelsea never really played a formation to suit Totti with Lampard in the advanced role.

Ronaldo Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not really. It speaks to the point of having an attacking midfielder in the same side as Lampard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
