    Maicon

    That was true for me as well a while ago, when i couldnt understand how Alves doesnt make the regular RB for Brazil. I started watching Maicon ... and i figured out ;)

    Thierry Henry

    The fact that such behaviour is regular among footballers today doesnt make it anything better than it was - blattant cheating. It might be professional and according to his, his teams and his countries objectives, but its not in harmony with the true idea of sportsmanship.

    Yaya Toure

    a) I never denied Essiens mistake b) Toures flaws in that same match are unchallenged by you - those that would have lead to 1-2 goals if Drogba wasnt incapable this night c) the "ON HIS OWN" part is simply laughable, considering a possession rate between 60-70% (which means Barca doesnt spend...

    Yaya Toure

    That was also Ballacks fault there iirc. And Yaya didnt impress me much in this game either. Ok, he played as CB, but lost Drogba on several occasions from mismarking and/or mispositioning.

    Yaya Toure

    Erm, what? Your reasoning (as far as i can get it right) was that Essien would have been transferred to a club like Barca or Arsenal if he had the techniqual proficiency (that i claim and you deny), not to Chelsea. This is just logically wrong. Chelsea had to most money to offer. Thats why he...

    Yaya Toure

    Interesting reasoning ... or should i say total nonsense :/ What does that proof? That chelsea had the most money available when Essien was on the market. And that Chelsea since then never never had the intention or need to sell key players. What totally denies a transfer to Barca, ARsenal or...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Whethter or not player A is better than player B, i really dont see a reason here to spend ressources on a swap between Toure and Masch.

    Yaya Toure

    Essien is not limited to that, as he brings a huge technique to the table as well ... but even if you restrict it to this power/pace/directness, you say that you still get awe from watching him, which is rare for me at least. Honestly, there are only two players around that constantly get my...

    Yaya Toure

    Its right to call Yaya world class, and he is a very complete player. But calling him best DM with someone like Essien (who ofc isnt a natural DM, but whatever ...) walking on this planet doesnt look right imo. I mean just look at Essien, if mankind will start building football androids in 50...

    Yaya Toure

    Cant recall names, i still remember reading this often enough in here (maybe im also gotten a bit sensitive too), usually not from the top posters though iirc. But im gonna c/p every such statement from now on into here, so we can figure it out ;)

    Yaya Toure

    Oh come on ... Yaya is a very good midfielder. He however is not the ' absolutely flawless, clearly best DM in the world by a big margin' like a lot of ppl are making him here. ANd i would consider this overrating tbh ...

    Yaya Toure

    Actually i feel like he is one of the more overrated players among members of this forum. On a sidenote i kinda expect a swap deal incl. him, maybe in winter already.

    Eric Abidal

    Sucks. Anyway: will CR be available for the classico?

    Yaya Toure

    Estels comment is more like wishful thinking than anything else i guess, as his swap deal conditions are way off being realistic anyway. And i agree ... cant honestly see De Rossi leaving Roma at all.

    Yaya Toure

    Honestly, can you pls start reading posts properly? I mean what "analysis" are you talking about? I did NOT analyze the statistics, nor did i conclude anything from them in the form of "Busi > Yaya b/c the stats say so". So pls dont interprete things into my posts that just arent there. What i...

    Yaya Toure

    Did i "use" the stats in any way? I just posted them here and pointed out my surprise. I didnt do any evaluation at all. Besides, when i said i dont like to restrict myself to stats when comparing players of different kinds with different roles playing in different teams and vs different...

    Yaya Toure

    Ye, just double checked myself. Busi has 632 minutes in la liga and Yaya only 381. Yaya however played basically full time in the CL and Busi pretty much no time. What i also just noticed is the far better looking stats in La Liga for Busi compared to Yaya, this is actually the biggets surprise...

    Yaya Toure

    I always felt like Masch was more likely to play in the CM, pretty muhc at Keitas spot alongside Biscuits, supposed to swap positions with him regularly throughout the game though. Fairly unlikely that Pep would run a 3 midget MF ever. Besides there is a huge tendency towards building up Busi...

    I actually dont like any of the two. But i guess Robinho would be the lesser evil ...
