if you did indeed read that patched up epic of misplaced synonyms, props to you.

Rever too.

Then why are going for him? We need domeone like Tiago Silva, defender with good technique, who can help us more in trasition from defence to attack. Someone who is comfortable and confident on the ball.

He is more like Thiago Silva then Chiellini, not that they are similar, but more similar to TS then Chiellini, because Rhodolfo has real good technique, and composed on the ball, and is good at starting attacks when needed the total opposite of Chiellini. He is basically what you asked for, besides not being as dominant as TS defensively. Btw, it has been a long while since TS has gone on offensive runs or starts ones. Been more like Milans safety line, plays deep.

We need someone who is composed, he still has time to develop. Remember what Thiago Silva was like when he first came?

Then I hope we'll bring him this January. I will try to watch couple of his games so I can get better perspective.

I hope we really think 10 times before signing Rhodolfo !

The guy is just decent nothing great really, atleast from what i've seen.....

 

[Osman]

Right now its harder to impress, because Sao Paolo defence is a joke in overall, especially his partner Xandao. He's in kinda scenario Chiellini has been, only capable one amongst bunch of clowns.

What I meant was Rhodolfo is similar to Chiellini because of their physical similarities (big and not that fast) and that indeed what makes them both similar. Rhodolfo also act as the one who cover for defensive holes, same as Chiellini who sometimes makes the final wall.

There are of course differences: Rhodolfo has better techniques, better long balls (tends to do that too), and he doesn't do dirty tricks as much as Chiellini. That's what I got from one (and a half) matches anyway.

Some people said that Rhodolfo's Chiellini-esque error in Botafogo match conceded his team a goal just recently, around the time Chiellini also made costly mistake against Catania, so that's what got me thinking that the similarities becomes more striking.

I honestly don't get the Thiago Silva vibe from him.

 

[Osman]

He is not similar to Thiago Silva, but he has more in common with Thiago Silva then Chiellini IMO.

 

[Albo]

We have Bonucci no need for t his guy

 

[frick]

Kind of mixing Bonucci and Barzagli's names there, aren't you.

I heard that we talked to Vidic's agent

 

[Marc]

I heard that we talked to Vidic's agent

That would be a coup.

That would be a coup.

Unless he falls out with SAF, we don't have much chance.

Assuming still no new proper LB is signed, Licht-Barzagli-Vidic-Chiellini is totally -worthy.

It would be a dream.

 

[ZoSo]

The best would be Licht-Vidic-Chiellini-Cissokho. Probably best defence in Europe.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

we are not getting vidic, stop getting peoples hopes high cheese
