Nah not really. The only sort of arguement I'm remotely not objective in is some EPL discussions because, in my enviornment at least, I think it's overated. You might think I'm not objective because you don't agree with my opinions, however it doesn't mean I'm wrong. I see what I see, and you...

I remember Rio giving the ball away to Seedorf, setting up a shot for Milan. Also IIRC Rio missed a tackle on either Kaka or Crespo which set up a chance, however Milan failed to capitalize. I can't remember much however when I watched the matches I got the impression Nesta looked more solid...

No I did not. Nesta seemed to be more solid with my own eyes.

Oh please. Nesta was clearly better than Rio on BOTH nights, not letting anything by. On a few occasions Rio made minimal mistakes that could have cost his team, however Nesta was completely solid. Stop making excuses.

I agree on that account. Rio is not on the same level as Cannavaro in the marking and tackling departments. Just because Rio can dribble the ball upfield past a few unsuspecting English strikers does not make him the best defender in the world. :rolleyes: Nesta showed up Rio when their two...

Ferdinand is a good defender but not on the same level of marking and tackling as Cannavaro.

I would prefer Essien to Riquelme, no doubt. Essien can do it all basically.

Van Der Meyde did not even impress me when he was at Ajax. I'll certainly pass him up if he wants to leave Inter.

I know Serie A is not the fastest league but van Bommel is one of the slowest players I have ever seen. He does have a better touch than Blasi though, so I would not object to making a move for him.

I am almost positive that Chelsea are after Essien. Not sure if Van Bommel would excel in Serie A, though, as he lacks pace and his touch is not all that good.

Essien can play as both a defender and defensive midfielder. He is absolute class and I hope we swap Appiah for him.

Essien blows Giannichedda out of the water. Essien does all the dirty work for Lyon and is one of their key players.

Essien is a brilliant young player. He reminds me of Emerson every time a watch him, and sometimes I think that Essien will actually surpass the Brazilian in terms of quality in a few years. He gives Lyon bite and grit in midfield, and he certainly is not bad at attacking either. Essien is...
