Again .. I am glad you make your own judgments... most people do.
I said nothing about Lampard being a creative attacking mid, or an awesome defensive one. We have Zanetti and Nocerino for defensive mid, maby even Sissoko. For creative mids we are looking at VDV and Diego. What is wrong with bringing in an all around goal scoring mid who has had success with our current coach?
I am proud of you for not falling for all the media hype, well done.
Totti is a class player and many people agree on that, he does not win awards because he is not well liked as a person, which is unfair to him. But Lampard is class too, just different from Totti. You should compared VDV or someone to Totti if you want to rant about Totti.
As for thinking all Lampards goals are lucky deflections, are all Trez's goals flukes too? or Inzaghi's? Lampard also does his bit in ball possession and defense he just does not only hold the ball up or defend.
What I don't understand is why everyone thinks we can only buy one player.. VDv but no lamps.. Giovinco but no VDV. That is not how it works.
I would strongly lean towards donnanocerinos assessment, I don't know why everyone here is so freaked about the Lamp, (1) He's not special, (2) He damn well won't add anything close to an extra to our team, (3) He's not a leader, (4) He only plays a good game on favourable nights, (5) The only reason why they don't talk about his inadequacies is cos he's very lucky with deflections; they end up in the net. (6) In his team, he cant throw killer passes like Joe Cole, (7) Can't mark like Makelele, (8) He's not even as assertive as Mikel in the midfield. (9) He's not a striker but-yes he scores goals.
Trez doesn't score flukes, the only striker better than him in the box is Van Nistelrooy. Inzaghi is good too but not like Trez. Totti stopped being a midfielder a long time ago, he's the point man at Roma, he's their striker. Totti's a legend.
If lampard is not this
I said nothing about Lampard being a creative attacking mid, or an awesome defensive one.
And we don't need him because
We have Zanetti and Nocerino for defensive mid, maby even Sissoko
And
For creative mids we are looking at VDV and Diego.
Then why the hell do we need another midfielder to do the work of our strikers.
Do you think
bringing in an all around goal scoring mid who has had success with our current coach?
is a good enough reason to buy him, well, for me, not good enough.
If we have money to spend, then lets get midfielders that can do something relevant things for the team. Stuff like, creative play, providing killer passes for the strikers, covering and marking well, and scoring goals (with precision). I don't hate the Lamp, but I don't see why he's so important in our team. There's no space for him, he would just be another Tiago here, no disrespect, that's how I feel.
No Lamps,
