My god a few challenges and everyone's up his ass. If he had given that penalty away to Milito in the Inter game (clear penalty) on top of his Bayern piss up then maybe you would see. He is rash, positionally poor, and less than average going forward. Plenty of players play their heart out, dont mean they are good. Save the 11 million and get someone more complete who wont go out of his way to give away penalties in key games.
You're correct in saying that some people are starting to over-rate Caceres, but there's no way Caceres' challenge on Milito was a clear penalty.

He was going for the ball and Milito stepped on his boot, then left his trailing leg in there hoping to get a bit more contact and make his penalty claim look a bit more credible.

To be fair I've been 'up his ass' since he was playing for Recreativo. He's doing a good job for a CB who has never played regularly as a RB before his time here. He was thrust into a terrible situation and he's at least shining which is more than we can say for most the rest of this 'team'. He does make some rash decisions but he's only 22. Look at Chiellini, he was the same way before he matured. Matter of fact, outside of Chiellini this guy has been our best defender so far this season.

But you know what you're right, lets ship his ass back to Barca and stick it out with Grygera and Zebina. Well only Grygera I guess since Zebina hasn't been able to stay fit for more than 15mins since 2005. :tdown: :disagree:

The lad reminds me of a young Sergio Ramos in so many ways. He's fast becoming one of my favourite players with his warrior-like attitude, he looks like he really cares about this club and I really hope we sign him. I believe he can still improve and be as good as Ramos.
As good as Ramos?!?!? First of all, he's already almost there, but Ramos is a nutter. He thinks he's roberto carlos or something and doesn't have to defend except to hack down skilled players when Pepe is already on a yellow (ie after the first minute). Ridiculous...

Your taking biased to a whole new level. Cacares has got absolutly nothing on Ramos, except a reckless head.

One love? Those are 3 different countries, fuck face.
Your mathematical skills are very impressive. However, I think you might want to take a course or two in English. The "1" in "1 love" refers to myself and not three different countries...
