He won 5 titles, 5 Coppa Italia’s and a Champions league. Your words were he’d won nothing of note at club level :lol:

 

I’m not shitting on Milan’s trophy cabinet, just feel I need to defend the Matrix against this outrageous slander. 

Was a plank at Everton, skewered our first game against Inter in the CL - probably costing us a CL QF, and seems a c*nt generally, so bollocks to him.

Well, many of his league titles were awarded by the courts. He also seldom played when Inter was winning things. It's not slander. He's not even in the top 20 of Italian CBs. I'm just asking you to refine your taste.

 

Also, Cannavaro isn't as highly regarded in Italy as he is outside of Italy. I'm a fan of his, actually, but he's widely seen as overrated in comparison to others.

Who are your top 10 Italian CBs?

 

Also as others have said, hope you stick around. Really enjoy your posts.

Footballing wise I wouldn’t say he was my first choice, but overall I think it’s the right choice. Especially when considering the mentality of the player. Seems to be a bit of a leader with the right attitude and winner instinct. These attributes cannot be underestimated. I’m sure someone like say Badiashile would have been class but Botman might have the very important mentality attributes that could mean that he’ll be the more consistent performer than many other options. Even if not quite as exciting maybe he’s still a very good player seemingly.

Pure CBs? Or does Maldini's ability to play CB (even when he was younger) before his transition into a CB in the last years of his career count?

Owen went on a while

Kitson seemed like it did for a player from Derby

Ferdinand technically went from Boxing Day 92 to June 96.

 

Still remember the back page of the Daily Mirror after Kitson initially turned us down over wages (IIRC)...

 

"IT'S PAUL TWITSON!"  :lol:
