Emerson is the most overrated player ever. And you know what, he sucks even with us.

And who said that a defensive midfielder, whatever his nationality is, has to be entertaining?
Emerson is soooo slow, ugly, not tough nor aggressive and sucks big times. Speed, stamina, covering and anticipation are the most important skills, or let me say the primary skills, that should be available in defensive midfielders of nowadays.
Because, he was the only available backbone during Capello's era.

take the example of Milan...they play with only 1 DMF as Gattuso and the other 3 are attack-minded players...and they r arguably the most consistent team in the CL (reached 3 of the last 5 finals) and Juve have not managed to even make the semis since 2003 and we had a much stronger team last year...having a DMF is one thing but if u keep 2 in the centre who are both destroyers and lack passing ability u will not be able to pry open world-class defences...
Mate, Milan aren't playing with just one defensive midfielder in the Champions League. Ambrosini and Gattuso are defensive midfielders, Pirlo is a centre midfielder who can join the the previous duo when defending and Seedorf's defending rule can't be ignored. Whereas, The only pure attack-minded player is Kaka.
To sum up, I didn't say that we must have two defensive midfielder, I said it all depends on the combination of midfielders every team has. For example, if a team has quick wingers who can be burdened with their team's attacking responsibility, so one destroyer isn't enough. On the other hand, if a team has a combination of midfielders who are capable of both defending and attacking, so one defensive midfielder is more than enough. Again, it all depends on the type of players a team has and the used tactic.

Some boys to miss CL I wouldn't mind:
Pazzini, Montolivo, Toni, Di Natale, Rosina, Almirón, Dainelli, Barzagli (btw what happened to Felipe?)
Milito 1 and 2, Senna, Perea, Andrade, Baiano
Tevez, Oba (btw Owen is available for 12€m max.. any takers?
)
Makoun, Dodit, Givet, Squillaci
VDV (don't really know much of the bundesliga under the top4 teams)
And also its always fun gambling on South Americans like Pato, Falcao, Kerlon or Palacio.

I think Lyon will let him go pretty cheaply. Not all the players they sell are expensive - just their best ones. They've sold off Pedretti, Jeremy Clement, Bryan Bergounoux, etc., at pretty low prices. Lyon bought Diarra at around 7-8 million Euros but will probably accept a loss and sell him for 5-6. He and Houllier don't get along, and Aulas won't want to take the risk of warding away buyers by excessive haggling.
He played a superb match yesterday and even scored the penalty against his old team, cool as you like. Plus he's tall, good in the air, and strong.
He isn't speedy, but he does have pace, certainly more than Lyon's other midfielders (Toulalan, Tiago, Kallstrom, and Juninho). But as a DM at Lyon, he tends to hang out in his own half since Tiago and Juninho are the ones who go forward.
Juninho hasn't been happy at Lyon recently and has yet to sign a contract extension. He wants to play for another two years (he's only 32 and still in top form) but said it depends if Lyon get better players next year or not.
Plus he doesn't like Houllier.
Too bad he isn't younger - he's one of those players that deserve better than Lyon, to be honest.
