essien, cambiasso, de rossi...

I'd have De Rossi in my team before Mascherano.

De Rossi is a more complete DM.

De Rossi and Essien may be more complete, but if i had to choose someone to partner Cesc, it would definitely be Masch, he is a better tackler and a better reader of the game than the names mentioned above. For another team i would have picked De Rossi or Essien.

Mascherano is probably better at defending than pretty much any other DM out there just now, I'll give you that.

De Rossi doesn't have the heart of Aberdeen.

 

[Red]

True.

Dirty Roman bastard that he is.

Which was my initial point.

 

[Red]

Fair enough, then.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

talking about Dms what the deal with mikel's contract

 

[Enron]

He doesn't want to be a DM and he's not liking the adjustment to a more defensive role.

You're talking about John Obi right?

 

[Sadomin]

I'd take Sissoko before Mascherano, though. Mascherano might be the better and more complete player, not only relying on physique but also on defensive positioning. Not to mention the Argentine's superior passing and technique.

Still, Momo's style is so spectacular and entertaining that this alone makes up for his inferiority to Javier.

What are you on about? Sissoko entertaining? :wth:

 

[GordoDeCentral]

his lanky figure sliding around

 

[Enron]

Sometimes his tackles can be spectacular. And he random bicycle kicks are cool, but he doesn't to them enough.

yeah i think his contract runs out this year it d be weird if thats not renewed soon

 

[Red]

I would say exciting, rather than entertaining.

You just never know what he is about to do next.

 

[Bjerknes]

I'd take Obi for sure. Somewhat of a punk but him and Sissoko in midfield would be interesting.

 

[The Curr]

What are you on about? Sissoko entertaining? :wth:

I find him entertaining. He's great fun to watch. More fun than some pansy Spanish playmaker

 

[Enron]

From what I've heard. Scolari wants Mikel to be like Makalele was, you know a holder and a beast at winning balls. Mikel prefers to go forward and create and isn't adjusting to the role as well as he'd like. I think that's basically it.

Come to think of it neither Agger or Rafa have signed either.

 

[Sadomin]

What are you on about? Sissoko entertaining? :wth:

His sliding tackles are some of the best I've seen. The way his long legs wrap around the attacker to steal the ball, and how he runs around like a steamer across the pitch with the ball at his feet.

I find that more entertaining than a calculated and controlled style. It's a bit like Chiellini vs Legrottaglie.

exciting would be more appropriate

Would be a nice partnership, but you guys have 5 central midfielders already.

You'd be singing a different tune if that "pansy spanish playmaker" was playing for Juve.
