...and once again... This is just the attitude I meant, you think your always right, don't you?! :cheesy: To be honest, I don't think that you know a shite about football or Juventus, you hardly know a thing about Fighters or Drughi or Irriducibili or our history... The list goes on endlessly... And I know how this is going to end, your going to google some answers for me and claim that you'll always knewn those things... :cheesy:
Yes, I know absolutely nothing about Juventus, you are certainly right. I also do not know anything about football, especially tactics. When it comes to playing soccer, I have always been the worst player on the pitch, no question, for the past 13 years. I am totally useless. I might be all these things, but the fact of the matter is you cannot handle tough, differing opinions. You feel offended for trivial reasons, and now you have to resort to using "false personal insults" to support your arguement.........no, excuse me, you really do not have an arguement. Stop the crying whenever someone gives out tough criticism, it might help you in your quest of accepting reality.

1)have you asked yourself how many games rooney played?and how many Bojinov played?
2)dont give me the crap about the defence in the serie a is this and that,look at Crespo who used to be one of the top scorers in Italy,how many goals did he get at Chelsea?look at Mutu who used to score alot in the serie a,how many did he get at Chelsea?
Oh please Freddy, you tell just by watching the two leagues in action that Italy has superior defending. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Just watch the football. You could say the same thing about Robbie Keane, and to some extent Henry. As Desmond stated, it does not seem like you watch much Serie A or La Liga football.

this i absolutely cannot agree with.

lots of players fail to do well in a league/team because they fail to adjust into their environments,their prime is past etc. i have no doubt that crespo likes it better in italy,perhaps because he's used to the lifestyle and language.at chelsea he was subjected to mindless rotation,as he was at inter the two seasons before.he did badly on those occaisions.at lazio and now milan,he's had better form and looks noticeably happier,with more playing chances and a consolidated place in the team.

mutu practically tore the epl apart for the first few weeks until he was similarly meaninglessly rotated by claudio "the tinkerman" ranieri. his form went downhill too.

what i'm trying to say is that many factors determine a player's performances,not only the quality of their opposition.

and btw,i find it amazing that you claim to watch the epl,la liga and serie a and still say that our english counterparts can defend better than us .it really makes me doubt if you know what a good defence is supposed to look like.or maybe your definition of having watched all three leagues is something to the tune of 3 matches a season?
thats what i was trying to point out,alot of people here say things like Bojinov has 8 goals in the serie a,if he was in the EPL he'd get 15 by
now.so thats why i used both Crespo and Mutu as examples.



no offence but can you point out when\where i said that ?:confused:

Fred, just because two strikers did not have good spells in England does mean EPL defenses are better than Italian. I mean FFS, just watch mid table sides from both respective leagues. The organization of Messina is light years ahead of Bolton, for example.

One good match per season does not immediately mean that he has a great future ahead of him.
what i ment is :

look at this lazy useless boy at the begining of the season then look at him at the end he improved tactically , physically and mentaly then look at euro 2004 this player is growing and improving in a good way and i must give the credit for man u manager who saved him from burn out with rotation and playing him in many positions .

firstly i didnt say that EPL defences are better than italian ones.
secondly if you watch bolton week in week out you'd notice they're "light years" ahead of Messina offensively,tacticly and technicly,in other words in everything other than defensively.

and rightfully so.

he's already one of the best young finishers i've ever seen,and that's only after half a season.for various obvious reasons,he'd do better in england than in italy.

i didnt mean to say that EPL defence is better than the italian one,i meant to say that some people here in the forums say ridicoulos things like:
alot of people here say things like Bojinov has 8 goals in the serie a,if he was in the EPL he'd get 15
but you never know Bojinov might get 20 goals in the serie a,and not get more than 10 in the EPL or the opposite.

    no one said other wise,but do you agree with people who say things like "if a striker gets 20 goals in the serie a he'd get 30 in the EPL"?

    Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has won the 'Golden Boy' prize for the best young player in Europe.
    The England forward received the prize from Italian newspaper Tuttosport after topping a journalists' poll to find the outstanding footballer under 21.

    Rooney, 19, finished ahead of team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Arjen Robben and Obafemi Martins.

    "As far as I am aware, this is the first international trophy I have won," said a delighted Rooney.

    Ajax forward Rafael van der Vaart was last year's winner of an award Tuttosport hope will become regarded as the young player's equivalent of the European Footballer of the Year.

    i'm sure tuttosport watches all top leagues and especially the italaian one dont you think Andy?;)

    :wth: You obviously have never watched Messina play Freddy. Bolton might be a better attacking side due to the fact they have Okocha, but that is about it. Messina wins on tactics, no question. Their league position before this month gives light to that fact, not mentioning they beat Milan.

    David Beckham was once up for the FIFA World Player award. Rafael Van der Vaart won this "prize" last year, and he looks like another extremely overrated player. This Tuttosport "prize" should be renamed the "Media's Golden Boy" prize, because that is all the award is.

    I love it how you keep throwing all this media stuff at us Freddy, it helps me prove my point.

    yeah well i only saw their games against Milan at the start of the season and the game against Juve.they were impressive but not as good as Bolton tacticly who always give the big teams a hard time as they drew with Man utd,Chelsea and Arsenal with or without Okocha,IMO Alladaryce is a great coach and IMO he's the main reason for their success.

    well actually i dont agree with them putting Rooney over Robben:wth:,but the fact its an italian magazine and it didnt put Bojinov in the top 5 is a rather interesting point;)

    Hell, they could put Cygan up as one of the EPL's top defenders, and that wouldn't change my view of him.

    And I have been saying that there are lesser known talents who are better than Rooney, and Bojinov is one of them. It is a blessing that they underate Bojinov rather than overrate.
