i like claudio a lot but he is nothing special, just a slightly bit more consistent than mirko.

i dont understand why marchisio fans try to compare him to vidal whenever he is criticized because that does not help your case. vidal is one of the best mids in the world and clearly mops the floor with marchisio.
brava! exactly how i feel

Marchisio is just as important to the team as Vidal is. This Juve is not a team functioning on brilliance of its individuals, that's why we are winning the Scudetto without having proper strikers for the second consecutive year. There are a couple of world class players at Juve (Marchisio is not one), the rest are instructed to work as parts of a unit so when one of these parts goes completely missing in a game, in addition to its limitations it has certainly to do with the coach and the tactics he uses in that particular game. Matri-Quag combination against Bayern (in the hindsight) was the nonfunctional part which affected the whole team and it was what that forced our midfield out of the game.

- Marchisio IS world class

- Consistency is the last thing wannabe detractors should use against him

- Buffon, Barzagli and Chiellini are the only players whose absence we really suffer from immediately.

Old Trafford club preparing summer bid for Italian player.

Manchester United are monitoring the availability of Juventus’ Claudio Marchisio according to talkSport.

Old Trafford scouts have been keeping tabs on the player and have sent glowing reports back to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Fergie has reportedly expressed a strong desire to bring the Italian midfielder to Old Trafford as he looks to add some depth to his midfield options.

The Scottish manager has reportedly been an admirer of Marchisio since 2010, but the veteran manager was keen to pursue other targets.

It is thought Fergie preferred to target the likes of Wesley Sneijder, Eden Hazard and Samir Nasri but with the trio having all now moved on to other clubs, it appears the United boss is ready to make his move for Marchisio.

The player has put in some impressive performances for the Old Lady this season hitting the back of the net on seven occasions. Marchisio has also been instrumental in the Juventus’ performances in the Champions League, where they are now preparing for a quarter-final tie with German giants Bayern Munich.

Marchisio has previously hinted at his desire to play in the Bundesliga but it is thought he could be tempted by a lucrative offer from the Premier League leaders.
