But he is so good at what he does, Milan can play Pirlo beside him to distibute the ball and do almost nothing defensively, and still maintain the balance of the midfield.
why are we even talking about defensive mids? ffs let's bring some magic to the mid or play Tiago and see what he's got. We have enough with Zanetti, Nocerino and Marchisio later.
As a general rule I'd agree with that, but Mascherano is sooooooooo good that I think we will regret it if we don't make a serious effert to try and sign him.

I agree with this. Adding Mascherano to the current crop of defensive midfielders would be a waste of capital and a waste of talent(Mascherano's talent or Marchisio/Nocerino's talent).
I actually agree with Mark here...enough tacklers and destroyers..bring in some flair and creativity to that midfield..nobody is saying Nocerino is better than Gatusso or that Zanetti is better than Masch(well except for turk that is)..but they're both doing their jobs well,so wouldnt it be unfair to ditch them??
Gattuso is an experienced Veteran with international, CL, and Serie A experience. Nocerino is a youngster playing his 1st season in Serie A with the biggest team in Italy. Yeah that's a fair assesment.
fact is Gattuso, Makalele and G.Silva where no where near as good as Nocerino was at his age.
and isn't Nocerino just that? A very talented destroyer? People seem to love sucking Gattuso's (and Zanetti's for that matter) cock for being a WC DMF who's passing is not that good yet they don't like Nocerino because he can't pass. Fact is Nocerino playing with Zanetti doesn't help much because both of their passing is abilities are not special. Play Nocerino with Tiago or a proper CMF and you will see that our center of midfield becomes much better.
