He chose Genoa despite his agent confirming that he had lucrative offers from bigger clubs, so wouldnt had mattered.
Yeah, but I think that we were linked to him season before he joined Genoa, however I might be wrong.

Still it really doesn't matter now, but it was nice to remember that...

Maldini is not the best defender ever. Baresi, Beckenbauer and even Nesta could possibly lay claim to that.

But for people to say he is "way over-rated" is fucking ridiculous. The man was a fantastic footballer and was a joy to watch for MANY years. And no Maldini in his prime >>> Zanetti in his prime in terms of talent, medals won, career, everything. Although Javier is still a legend.

Dont expect Alen to be impartial when it comes to Milan or their players/former players.

I guess you didn't listen to the stories that he was the best ever and you actually watched him play ever since the late 80's.

All due respect to many here, but I have a feeling that people hardly ever watched Maldini until the late 1990's/ early 2000's and they go on by the stories they heard about his greatness.

I apologize if my feeling is wrong.
I have seen Maldini play since 1990, and he is still in his prime the best left back in the world, while Zanetti was never considered the best at a specific position.
The best CB ever is Baresi for sure. I also agree with the member that said Nesta is more talented than Maldini, but too bad he was injured alot and didn't maximize his potential. Having the talent is something, and having it and playing for a long period of time on a consistant level is something else, and that's why Maldini is better than Nesta

Journalist: oh dear President, you must be happy now after what the people said about you about being a President that spent a lot and didn't win much?

Moratti: Look, I had a band of bandits making a wall in front of me that are now in court and hope justice is done. That's why I didn't win.

    So how old were you when Baresi and Beckenbauer played football?

    What you said is the same with those who say that Maldini is the best ever.
    Hardly ever watched him until he became a dinosaur, but it doesn't stop them from claiming that he was the best.

    Ive seen plenty of games with Baresi (from mid 80s til when he retired) although obviously not much of Der Kaiser - even though from most accounts from IMPARTIAL (look up that word, it really applies to you and many members of this forum sometimes) football experts, journalists etc hes one of the best ever.

    Seriously your hatred of Milan clouds your judgement sometimes. Get over it.
