[FML] Serie A 2009/2010 (85 Viewers)

Sorry it seems I could have explained my post better. I said you got your arses handed to you by Manchester City and beat by Manchester United. Diego's overall game is better than Fabregas in the final third.

In the final third Diego is indeed a better player. He's a better finisher and a better dribbler. But thats because he is an attacking midfielder while Cesc is a central mid. But to say Diego is more creative than Cesc is far fetched. Cesc is one of the finest passers in the world, and his vision is also much better than Diego's. We're talking about a player who averages 15-20 assists per season.

He already has 9 assists to his name this season btw.

I'd like to see stats to show assists for Diego in Bremen in the past 3 years to Fabregas 3 years at Arsenal. There vision is on par.

 

[Fred]

Very far fetched to say their vision is on par imo. Cesc is second only to Xavi in terms of assisting the last man. I believe Diego is fairly overrated here. Mainly due to him being a new signing and all.

Its certainly bold of you to come here to vent your opinions and such. Football is a wonderful language based on opinions thats why its so talked about. Overrated I cannot agree. You just have to look at how good he was at Bremen to show he is hardly overrated.

 

[Fred]

I rate Diego, i think he's a very good player. He is a very good signing. But to compare him to Cesc in creativity and vision would be too far fetched. I'd say he's a better dribbler, a better goal scorer, but certainly would not compare the two in passing and vision.

Like I said its all about opinions.

Inter > Juventus.

Inter were fantastic today. That's how you win the league.

No doubt, people really thought they wouldn't be as good because they "overspent" on Milito and got Sneijder who won't do anything.

And Mourinho is a brilliant manager, probably the one I'd want to have here most.

You can't really compare Diego and Fabregas because they both play in different positions. Both have different attributes which makes them fit in their own position, like Cesc having a better range of passing like a regista would but not be as comfortable as Diego at dribbling past players.

 

[Alen]

Fabregas is the master of assists. Last year he missed 3/4 of the season or so, and when he came back he made so many assists that he almost became the EPL top assistman.
Two seasons ago he was the best in Europe, i think.

His nose for assist is amazing. Diego is nowhere close, although the Brazilian's vision is also fantastic.

 

[Osman]

Alen is right. I'll pull a you on you and post this:

-------------------

FYI. Guess which Bond villain looking slick mofo who is in these lists that I DESPERATELY want Juve to sign?

 

[Fred]

Berbatov?

 

[Osman]

Yes, the fucker is amazing, dont care how lazy or flawed he is. Would be a dream to have him in bianconero.

 

[Fred]

He is a quality player indeed. He just doesn't fit into Man Utd's style of play. They play at a high pace, and most of the time he is responsible for slowing them down. But would certainly do better in a team that plays at a slower tempo

 

[Stephan]

You have betrayed Rossi Os?

 

[Bjerknes]

Hooray for all non-Juve players.

 

[Osman]

No not at all. You can like more then one player (and unlike Rossi, he is unrealistic, I was recommending Berba when we were about to buy Amauri, and he was still in Spurs, but was too pricey).

But this slick mofo is a real treat. With Berba in Tottenham, it was bit nostalgic, as in me watching an EPL team nearly weekly solely due to the magical shit of one player alone, like I used to with Cantona In Man U, Le Tissier in Southampton, Ginola in Newscastle, and Zola in Chelsea (these teams were uninteresting without these figures, same with Spurs without Berba).

as Fred says, Berba doesnt suit Man U so well, and our attack would be great with someone like him creating for fun (above stats show he assists 10+ every season).

 

[Bjerknes]

This is what I think about hearing Le Tissier and Berbatov in the same sentence, and is mostly focused on the latter player.

 

[Osman]

How do you mean?


Saying that because he is a Man U player I guess?

 

[Bjerknes]

Le Tissier is a legend (all Southampton), Berbatov is a douche.

 

[Fred]

A douche as in you don't like him, or a douche as in you don't rate him?

 

[Bjerknes]

Both, really. I rate him, but he's overrated by some folks. The comparisons between Ruud and him in the past are quite pathetic, but it's nothing new from Manure fans. They barely remember who Best was anyway.
