Who else? Pieters is the Dutch Abidal and the Dutch Maldini ! :lol:

I hope it'll be AC Milan, but I think Inter are a stronger side. And they're in better form.

No Real please, 4 classicos in one month is too much. And I don't want Shakhtar either. I prefer Schalke.

^ Surely his best position is defensive midfielder, he's arguably the best DM in the world, but I think he's a better central defender than a central (more offensive) midfielder (in 4-1-2-3 like we play, with a central midfielder I mean one of the players in the '2', so in the Iniesta role or...

Come on, there has to be a better option than Lehmann? He's a total retard!

^ I've seen it again now....fair point.

A point against Sevilla isn't bad, especially away.

Aissati? Really? Where did you get this preference for Eredivisie players?

^ It reminded me a bit of that goal against Chelsea...a shame it hit the bar.

I'm not impressed by this guy. He's quicker than Maxwell, and ambidextrous, but as many said before his crosses aren't good. And I can't forget that moment against Arsenal which nearly costed us the CL.

^ I think Busquets would be a better central defender than a central midfielder, to be honest. He's not agile enough to play in the 'Xavi-role' imo. He's tall enough to play as a center back, his reading of the game is good, and he's a great passer too, so in my opinion he's a lesser version of...

Okay, just checkin'.

^ I hope you don't consider Scott Parker a world class midfielder, or do you?

^Gotta agree about the whining and, especially, the face. But he's Dutch and he's class, so I can live with it as long as he's brilliant for us.

Also, Mascherano = Badger.

Exactly.

Excellent player for the Premier League. He's way too unpredictable and agile for those typical PL defenders...they tend to have problems with pacy and skilled attackers, or so I see it. Remember Eto'o vs Nemanja 'the so called best defender in the world' Vidic, in the 2008-2009 CL final?

^ 'You can put a beer on that ass' :lol:

I'm with Beast here...even Pellegrini hasn't managed to get Málaga out of the relegation zone, so, in hindsight, it wasn't his best decision. Besides, should Mourinho get fired, he'll always have the opportunity to join a top club, his reputation is very good (in terms of coaching quality, not...

He got absolutely raped by Amauri last season....tells you all you need to know, really....he doesn't have the mentality of a defender. If he manages to change that, he'd be a good defender, good enough for us even, but he's just a bit too soft imo.
