Kaka, Ronaldinho, Zidane and Robinho, the four are excellent play makers, very talented dribblers, and they are the mind of their teams (maybe except robinho, he's still young), that's how a Class playmaker should be, and that's why I compare them, but sure zizou is the greatest of them all

Diego isnt better than Robinho, Robinho plays as a starter at Real, he's more talented and all the great clubs want him, but Diego plays at Bremen, and even Bayern didnt try to get him, plus he didnt shine in copa america
sorry but since when did you have to join bayern to be a rated player? if you didnt happen to know bremen beat bayern twice last season, so i dont see what you're getting at, and dont disgard bremen as a rubbish team, they are one of the best attacking sides in germany and juve almost learnt that the hard way a couple seasons bk. and besides, do you really think robinho in his physical state would last in italy? no. robinho being a starter at madrid also means nothing, diego is bremens pivitol player along with frings in midfield, robinho to madrid is not half as important as diego is to bremen, as for his contribution at the copa america, alot of players didnt shine during that tournament, bare in mind it was a month long tournament straight after a long season so to be fair alot of players wouldn't be 100%

true but players like Gilberto Silva Baptista and Messi also had long seasons and look how well they played in Venezuela...i think Diego didnt even play the final

well unfortunatly dunga doesnt even see diego as a starter as the likes of kaka and ronaldinho are bound to be picked ahead, but if anyone saw the brazil vs england game kaka and ronaldinho were useless, diego came on and just changed the whole dynamic of brazil's attack and deserved their equaliser, no need to say who scored that ;)

Ok I agree that Robinho is weaker, and maybe he cant last in italy (hopefully that doesnt mean that giovinco cant), and I respect Bremen it's a very good team, but again it cant be compared to Real

About Bayern I mean that Bayern always take the best players in the German league (Remeber Leverkusen?) and they didnt go after him, and I dont recall any Major club wanted him

Robinho isnt the most important one in Real, but still he's one of their lethal weapons , and real madrid which bought players in all positions , didnt look for a player to replace Robinho (i think so)
Maybe Diago is the most important player in Bremen, but he wont be so in Milan as Kaka, or Zidan for Real, that's what I meant

Wow, that Diego video is nice. Not a bad option to have, he looks like the quintessential playmaker - hadnt followed him much especially since he didnt play a large part in Brazil's lineup for obvious reasons. Would be a good move to snap him up, since his more popular national teammates already have a bidding war going on for their services.

To be honest Diego is nothing special, and Badass face the reality and admit that, I mean Diego couldn't hold a regular place in a Brazilian "reserve" team that Dunga played at Copa America and that sure means something, however on the hand Dunga didn't played Alves regulary too :D

The thing is that I'm not tottaly sure of Diego's ability, ofcourse he can be good but in my opinion nothing special.

I must say that I watch Diego last year in some games and I think that is the best candidate if we wan't young AM or LM. He is fast, he's got vision and he never dribble too much. He reminds me on Kaka, but of course he is not that good. If we need only LM then there is also Robinho.

diego not being a starter for brazil doesnt concern me, there are hundreds of brazilians good enough to play for them, that just shows the array of talent they have.

well bayern already had sosa signed up early on and ribery was always in their sights so there was really no need for diego aswell. ofcorse he wouldnt be so important at milan, because they already have kaka, but we dont have that kinda player not since zidane left, hence y diego makes alot of sense. robinho lethal weapon? ok if you say so, just bare in mind robinho and diego are 2 utterly different players, robinho plays wider and in a more advanced role, and diego is a little deeper and more central. we dont need robinho because we have the likes of camo anyways, but we could seriously do with that creative force to play behind the strikers.

I missed you dude, It took you about 12 hrs to reply :p

Diego is different than Robinho and Quaresma cuz the last 2 are kinda wingers, that's clear, if we're looking for a Zidane replacement in those 3 players , Diego is the closest, but he can't even get near to Zidane's level, or Ronaldinho's or Kaka's, unless he develops

Maybe if another Very good player helps him, we'll do just fine, but I think Nedved will retire next season, and since the WC I havent seen the real Camo

So, If we count on Diego to do the difference, as we attack with Diego, Camo / Marchionni, DP and Trez...... I dont think it's enough

well its clear we have quality in our midfield, enough to certainly help him step up his game, but diego's work rate is phenomenal, his failure at porto was more down the management i believe, but at werder he has license to roam free like he did at santos and like zidane did at juve and like i hope diego will at juve, that is why im confident he will succeed at juve, i think diego,camo, marchionni attack is phenominal, not forgetting almiron and nocerino who can really give us a new dimention in our attacking style, but we definatly lack that directness that diego will offer us. so im already looking forward to next seasons mercato, providing cl qualification is achieved. another thing to bare in mind, dp and perhaps camo are really the only 2 players that link our midfield to our attack effectivly these days, nedved, at times too, but especially dp, and without him, we lack sharpness, thats another reason why diego is an essential for next season
