And to think there was a poll between Pirlo and Aquilani+ some members didnt want him for free...
There are only 3 of his kind IMO
1.Xavi 2.Fabregas 3.Pirlo himself
I hope Pirlo could last a few seasons so he could take us back to be the team to beat

I'd say Xavi and Pirlo are ahead of Fabregas. Also given that they are only what, a year apart!? I wouldn't say theres much to choose between them on form. Xavi perhaps comes off looking better, but let's not forget both his teams overall are better than Pirlo's.

Overall vision: Pirlo>>>Xavi
Long range/mid range passing: Pirlo>>>>>>>>>Xavi
Short range passing/short through balls: Xavi>D.Silva>Iniesta>Messi>Pirlo=Fabregas>Ozil
Set pieces: Pirlo>>>Xavi
Shooting: Pirlo>>>Xavi (think of Pirlo v Parma 10/11 or Pirlo v RM 09 10)
Ball control/dribbling: Pirlo=Xavi
Controling tempo: Pirlo=Xavi

Pirlo is by far our best player and if he manages to play 30-35+ games, he could lead us to the scudetto. Otherwise we would no have chance.

Pirlo>Xavi/Sneijder/Iniesta/Fabregas/anyone

Idk if he is better than Xavi , but Pirlo pre 2007 was awesome great .
Anyway for one thing i'm sure , he is way way better than all our CMF we had since Zidane even he was playing like AMF .

Could people stop saying he's better than Xavi please? One of them, recently, has been vital to club and country winning so many trophies.
:sergio: 2006 WC? 2003 and 2007 CL? One of them may be slightly better than the other (Pirlo>Xavi or Xavi>Pirlo) but there's no denying that Pirlo is much better at set pieces, shooting, overall vision and long passing. Xavi definitely has a large advantage in short range passing.
