That break out of defence for Del Peiros goal vs Germany always stick in my memory. I prefer elegant defending, and Italy did far better in that tournament when Materazzi was on the bench and Nesta playing together with Cannavaro. Materazzi gave up the penalty for Zidane, to begin with. The last time there was an Inter defender that had a style that would suit Milan, would be Zanetti. But we had Cafu, so why downgrade at RB? It's a travesty that Italy won't be in the next world cup. I actually celebrated Del Piero's goal in London! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Another big deal done! £30/35M seems a a fair price considering Villa paid £28M for a 29yr old Diego Carlos. Happy with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Materazzi was just a thug, he could defend in that he could head the ball and be physical, but I always regarded Italy’s best defenders as being able to do all that, but be class on the ball, and he certainly wasn’t. And TIL he played for Everton, fucking hell, where have I been. I Imagine if he was playing for your club though, you’d love him. He’s that ‘type’ of player!

midds Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 If it happens then he's going to be another rock in the XI for the foreseeable. He's been identified early, chased and hopefully signed in the next few days, got complete faith in the people making the deal and the fact the likes of Milan have gone conkers deep in trying to get him only encourages me even more. Under no illusions that he's signed because of the huge cash advantage we seem to have over a lot of teams, I'm not totally comfortable with it tbh but if this is the way it has to be then so be it.

Kid Icarus Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Yeah, Downie's definitely top of that B tier now on current form imo, below Ornstein and Romano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Potentially an absolutely huge signing. Him, Burn, Trippier and Targett is an immense back line, so excited to see them all line up together from the off. Also Pope, Botman, Bruno (and Wilson) provide a great spine to the team, so bring on the attacking signings and we'll be a real force Edited June 24, 2022 by Willow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 My worry is we lack serious pace at the back, we need to play higher up the pitch to squeeze the opposition and to push teams back. I don’t want us playing deep anymore and looking to bypass the midfield or get sucker punched by the press of the opposition because we are too deep.
