Oh rly?

Buffon over Hart?

Krasic over Johnson?

Melo over De Jong?

Marchisio over Yaya Toure?

Chiellini over Kompany?

I haven't even got started on some of our players. Aquilani? The one that couldn't get into Liverpool's team? :)
I'm no Juve fan, but come on now, the bolded ones are really ridiculous comparisons :D

I agree that Yaya is a better player than Marchisio. I think the Melo - De Jong comparison is debatable, but i personally believe Melo is the better player.

Overall City's squad is stronger and better than Juve's i'd agree with you on that. But thats a no brainer since your team spent more than 200M on its squad.

Yaya better than Marchisio? Get the hell out of here Fred.

No one's better than Claudio. Just no one. Yaya can play with my Yaya for all I care he's not better.

I rate Yaya Toure to be honest, and i haven't seen anything special from Marchisio, even though if you see my posts about him from two years ago, you'd see that i rate(d) him.

Just messing.

Marchisio is playing out of his position(I'm not giving excuses) and he's doing tremendously well IMO.

Toure is physically better than Marchisio and probably defensively but rest, there's no big gap between the two.

I think Yaya is a better dribbler too, he uses the ball well, and isn't doing too badly in his new offensive position, like you said physically Yaya is stronger, he really is a monster. Marchisio might have a higher work rate, and he's probably a better passer too. You're right in him doing well for a player thats being played out of position. Still, all in all, i prefer Yaya if given the choice between the two.

You haven't seen much of Marchi then. ;)

Marchi is our best dribbler after Del Piero. Even better than Quaggy. Don't know if many noticed this but he's a very good dribbler for a defensive midfielder.

Yaya Toure is a better overall player than Marchisio. That doesn't make Claudio a bad player though. No point in denying it really.

Maybe its the other way around, maybe you haven't seen enough of Yaya :D

To be honest, his time at Barcelona made people get a false impression of him, Yaya is not and was never before Barcelona a defensive midfielder, he was always a center midfielder, a box to box midfielder who likes to charge forward, and at the same time is quite good technically, better than he's given credit for. He's played that role both for Monaco and his NT. Mancini recognizes that, which is why he plays him in a more advanced AM position.
