Villa actually is playing in the same position as he has been over the years. Honestly, you might be the only one in the world who does not rate Villa as a TOP 5 strikers in the world. I am not denying the 5 strikers you posted as your Top 5, but you really think Suarez is better than Villa.

Have you seen how Slowdorf played against the Spurs? He was completely crap in the first game and just decent in the second game. Really no point talking about those two games anymore as Milan got kicked out by the Spurs.

Why is Milan being link with another not good enough Italian? I would have Merkel and Strussar playing over Cigarini anyday.

I mean, why now, and why it's always him? Pirlo was injured most of the season but he was awful for the majority games he played these last few years. The same can be said about Seedorf and Flamini. They earn big money too. But if this wage thing is of your utmost concern then why is Ibra this, Ibra that you always come up with?

Quote:Inter 11 players working for Ibra? Well, let me ask you, result-wise, did they win something? How many scudetto did they win this way? Zip? One or two? Nope, in the last seven years that overpaid lazy whining sob won phucking SEVEN domestic league titles, including FIVE in Italy. Isn't that something? If you're not interested in that, suit yourself mister, I am. UCL has always been our main target, we can work on that next year, but first thing first. And what can be better than a seven-year tried and tested option?

Quote:And how come you said that it's all about Ibra and not the team? I never knew he acted like a primadonna. If it's for footballing reason that you meant, I respectfully disagree too. I think people are exaggerating when they say that lump-it-to-Ibra has been the plan A for the teams where Ibra has been playing the last seven years. It criminally overlooks his ground skill. I think plan B would be more appropriate because when it sometimes happens, it's when his teammates are getting nervous towards the end of the game do they start playing that way. But not for most of the time because Ibra, despite of his appearance, is far more accomplished than your ordinary big, traditional CF.

Quote:Every team in every league must have some kind of cornerstone, the player(s) on which the play is built. It's inevitable that the teams base their play on their best player(s) and not the other way around. And in a league known for his tactical discipline where the park-the-bus tactic seems more and more often choosen, isn't it nice to have a striker capable of both playing with the ball at his feet when playing in an open game, as well as a rampaging bulky forward when the opponents defend deep and in numbers? How many strikers do you know capable of handling those two roles? Very, very few IMO, thus as a consequence, his price/wage is pretty high.

Quote:Long story short, he suits the style the league we're playing in, he's willing to work even harder for the team (to you he's just taken 3 months off but I sided with Sacchi and acknowledged his effort on this); expectedly he had his fair share of bad days too, and even got sent off one or two times too many, but both from business and footballing point of views, I think he's a good deal.
