IMO Chiellini - Mexes duo would be at least 3 times better than Chiellini - Bonucci

Nice to see people support this deal.. If it does happend, it would be the best defensive deal since Thuram imo.

You probably noticed, but I rate this guy very very high and I think he's really underrated here. He's one of the best options on the market for us. He's great on the ground and very good in the air. Unlike Chiellini he uses more his brain. That duo would be just perfect IMO.

 

[KroniK]

I rate him..









...
As a headless inconsistent unsporting whining chicken, who (despite being French)thinks himself as a true Romanista. Also, he never lived up to his hype/potential.

So, all that in mind, he can stay at Roma for all I care.

 

[edgardavids2608]

Yes I have wanted him for a while now...Hope this happens

 

[Osman]

Hehe, he uses his brain more then Chiellini? Giorgio must be braindead, because Mexes biggiest flaw is being such an emotional oaf that reacts to situations aggressively instead of read it and position himself. Thats why his most errors occured, especially in the 08-09 season.

 

[Bjerknes]

Perhaps he meant when Mexes has the ball. He doesn't just blast it forward relentlessly.

But Chiellini is obviously the better player, with a brain or without.

 

[Gabriel]

i'd love to have him here actually.

He thinks while going into duel, passing and while keeping his feet on the ground. Chiellini is a great defender, no doubt about that. He is not braindead but he's a bully defender, he's not using his brain much.

Was Mexes sitting on the bench for most of Roma's unbeaten run this season?

 

[DelpieroForLife]

Give them Amauri or Iaquinta and done deal this shit.

 

[Osman]

Mexes was Burdisso's backup this season.

And yeah in terms of passing, Mexes is decent/technical, but in terms of defending, he is really an example of the brainless defender. Giorgio is a no nonsense defender, as in he doesnt like to have the ball (unless he is randomly counterattacking), and wants to make the safe choice, but defenitely dont think he is brainless in what matters, the defender. Wouldnt say the same with Mexes (when at his worst inconsistent self).


But yeah, either way, if the price is right, sign him.

Yes, what's your point? Bad? That's the only reason for his bench time?

I was wondering if Roma use him or not. That makes him cheaper.

I think Roma was kinda prepared to cash in on him and that's why he wasn't used that much especially in the 2nd half of the season.

Amauri <-> Mexes + 50% Motta, quite a reasonable deal for both sides.

 

[Klin]

Mexes over either Bonucci and Kjaer, especially the latter, any day.

Like DPFL said, straight swap with either Amauri or Iaquinta sounds sweet.

Smokescreen for Gallas.
