He even got outmuscled by Inzaghi..i hope he will be our pillar in defense for years to come...but that friendly with Milan doesnt seem to convince me at all.

they r important but not necessary attributes for a good CB...
Sorry man, I have to go with some of the others on this one. We could use a taller, more muscular, generally more physically imposing figure at the back! Criscito at 20 can still develop his frame, but in the meantime...

nah i agree with u guys he is a bit slight but i'm just saying that that's not all that there is to being a class CB...look @ players like Cannavaro or Puyol...their "pure" defensive skills such as man-marking and positioning have made them amongst the best CBs in modern football

Comparing Crisito's size to someone like Adriano, Crisito can hide behind him , but remember he gave him a bad day in the TIM cup

Criscito doesn't have to be muscular to be strong. If a guy is a CB and he is playing for a first team at such a young age then it means he has strength. Having big muscles is not neccessary to make a physically strong centre back. Don't let looks decieve you. He's stronger than he looks.

:agree: the kid is something special, we all going to be singing his praises come end of the season, he just needs some time
While I agree with you that he has the chops to improve into a class act I worry who will help him to do this? Andrade...? Chiellini...!?

I would really like to see a 'mentor' CB to join with us for the immediate and for Crisctico's future. Nesta had Sensini (as did Canna in fact who played with Ferrara too) Maldini had Baresi etc..

I have no problem with Crisctio physical attributes... we need a leader at the back a player with brain... something Andrade is certainly NOT.
Give Andrade time, he has just come to a new side and country. For the minute he needs to concentrate on himself and adjusting never mind keeping everyone else in line.
