why is Marchisio being the best MF in the world not gonna happen?
He's a talented player, and he has the ingredients to become a very good midfielder. But lets not get over ourselves here. He isn't that good.

Hes no replacement for trez

what about Gignac or Chamakh?
Chamakh is overrated.

Masch is not top 10 in his position worldwide
Definitely wrong here. Masch is probably the best midfielder that plays the role of the sweeper in front of the defense. World class tackler. Players like De Rossi and Essien are more complete midfielders than him, but i really cannot think of 10 DM's that are better than him. I'd be interested to see your list.

I'm not really a jerk. Frankly, I'm a nice guy. But you claimed Marchisio will reach DR's or Essien's level in "no-time." Basically, with the insertion of Essien, one could argue you meant to say Marchisio would become the world's best midfielder. That is clearly not going to happen, barring a miracle. Even saying he will be another DR is questionable.

Your fault, not mine. Choose words carefully; they are very important.
lol. I know your not a jerk, I was just being sarcastic when i wrote that and I also know that marchisio probably wont reach those heights, but you know what? It could happen, he is only 23 years old and it is football, nothing is impossible in this game, right? I also know that a lot of people in this forum are very strict on their intellectual writing, so I'll try to keep that in mind when posting.;)



As far as the 'General' part of this thread goes, we should be focusing on defenders only at this point.
I believe Rafa Marquez will be a free agent this summer. Secco should definitely look into that:agree:

Marquez? He will be 31 next year, and I doubt Barca will release him (I'm sure they are planning on renewing his contract). He sounds like a very solid and viable option, but not at the expense of getting a Kjaer, Rannochia, or Bochetti.

Who say's we can sign Marquez and a young CB during the same transfer?

PS: Fred doesn't Fran Merida's contract end this season?
