:lol: The taarabt argument i have never overrated him, i said he's extremely talented wich he's, i can't recall overrating any africain player. You in the other hand with the argentenian player lol, Seriously Riquelme better than Xavi and who the fuck is Gaitan. You were wrong, you argued that Higuain is better than Benzema and that he would bench him and he didn't and i was right. Yep Higuain is a WC striker but he can't even start in his own club :howler:
yes riquelme is better than xavi and gaitan will have a better career than marchisio. I still believe higuain is better than benzema, trez was a WC striker and didnt start for france what else do you want to know? which other argentinian player? tevez? maradona?

now in case this didnt register in your head, let me translate it to a language you are more familiar with: waaah waaah :cry: :howler: :howler: :lol: :lol:

You lost me when you said Riquelme is bettere than Xavi, even Riquelme's father wouldn't think that highly of his son. And again who's the fuck is Gaitan. Higuain isn't better than Benzema, and Mourinho agrees with me. Higuain doesn't start for his club i wasn't talking about the NT, his club, Real Madrid.

echo is your name? ok since it is so hard for you to understand:

Trezeguet in his WC days was benched by domenech, does that mean he wasnt WC? this is as simple as i can make it for you. Please show me where mourinho says that benz is better than higuain, the latter was injured and mou had to find a way to make benz work, who until then was rotting in the becnh, so according to your stupid logic hes even less of a WC player since he spent more time on the bench in his real madrid career. Seeing as i already answered your question about gaitan i am starting to suspect you have partial blindness so ill put in bold for you, gaitan is one of the many players who will have better careers than marchisio, hope that put it in perspective for you.
As for riquelme, your assessment of him shows everything that is wrong with you when it comes to players, you dont understand the game or talent and you judge players like a kid based on a random game you either watched or heard of. But i ll give you this, you are smart enough not to bring stats into the xavi/riquelme comparison and we both know why ;)

N.B: props on not using any smilies

Riquelme can go choke on a dick for what anybody cares, but yeah. I'd rate Higuain a tad higher than Benzema. I had no idea Karim had African roots btw, I guess we now know why cheese speaks of him so highly.

I'd still take Benzema over Higuain. Sorry Deneb. I'm with Cheese on the Higuain vs Benz comparison; one is the better scorer (although Karim is becoming better and more consistent), whereas the other is the more complete footballer.

As for Riquelme vs Xavi, Riquelme is a footballing genius. It's rather unfortunate he was unable to express his full potential in Europe. Xavi is also an extremely talented footballer, so claiming that one is far superior to the other, or shits all over him, is rather immature and silly. Both are extremely talented footballers with exceptional abilities. One was quite unfortunate given the circumstances and coaches who played him out of position/didn't believe in him, while the other is able to express himself to his full potential/ability in a setup very much suited to his game.

Gaitan is an amazing talent Cheese; he's valued at 30 Million Euros by his club, and is tracked/wanted by clubs like City and Melo's United ;) He will have a stellar career.

Oh, and for the record, Taarabt shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with Balotelli. One has the potential to be World Class, while the other is going straight to the footballing trash can :p

i am fine with that, it is after all a matter of opinion. I like pure strikers, and higuain is that and blessed with some pretty amazing physical attributes. So the real argument here is can we consider higuain a WC striker, to me the answer seems pretty straightforward since only 2-3 players can be put ahead of him in his position(benz plays a different one fyi).

Former Juventus midfielder Marco Tardelli, who played for the Old Lady from 1975 to1985, has stated his belief that Real Madrid attacker Gonzalo Higuain would be a good signing for the Serie A giants.

The 57-year-old Tardelli feels that the Bianconeri need three more signings in order to return to the top, and the former Italian star is of the opinion that the Argentine forward would be a valuable addition.

"It would take them three more signings in order to make that final leap in quality. And a striker of international class, someone like Higuain, would be very useful," Tardelli was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Additionally, they need another midfielder of the highest level, and a good backup for Pirlo. Andrea will need to be rested occasionally for the Champions League next year."

Juventus currently sits second in Serie A, and is widely expected to qualify for next year's edition of European club football's elite tournament.

I agree with Tardelli. I would most definitely take Higuain; he's a world class striker/finisher. It's obvious that both him and Benz play different roles; I'd compare Benz to Rooney as they both seem to drop deeper and create opportunities, whereas Higuain is more like Cavani, Dzeko, etc...

He's insanely fit. I saw him defending back in his own penalty area at least twice against Chelsea; it's not the first time he has done that either :shocked:

I'd love to have him here. Not gonna happen tho :sigh:
