QUOTE (dst @ Dec 12 2007, 03:51 PM) Really? I think Sagna is one of Arsenal's best this season and of the main reasons why they are doing so well. Same for Flamini, (as they've themselves said) he's their Gattuso, he's a very useful player. Clichy is not bad but he's not world-class material either, I agree on this one. As for Almunia, he's no Buffon or Cech (ie he won't perform an unbelievable super save) but he's a 7 and he always produces a 7, he's consistent. In my view what Arsenal need the most is a world class forward.  I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I would have even highlighted Adebayor as I've never rated him, but he has been World class this year. |

OK but you're wrong! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The only world class thing he has done this season is his goal against Newcastle. He's a helpful player but he real far from being world-class. At least that's what I think. |

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Dec 12 2007, 04:40 PM) The highlighted players aren't good enough for Arsenal, Wenger should look to replacing them - especially Sagna, he's not good enough for the EPL at all! But about Gourcuff, he's young and French - Perfect for Arsenal.. Not that I think he'll fit in your team at all. PLEASE tell me that was a joke...and I've come to really rate Flamini, he's got a great fighting spirit and it looks like he's starting to sharpen up in front of goal. And dst, Adebayor and Van Persie are good enough. I'd like Van Persie to stop getting all these 9-week injuries, though. |

Wenger should just get Villa. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Would be fun!! |

Squeezing Melberg in the air and scoring a header against Villa. Doing the same against Spurs. Two classy goals against Derby. Running non-stop throughout every single game. That's world-class... |

And dst, Adebayor and Van Persie are good enough. I'd like Van Persie to stop getting all these 9-week injuries, though. Flamini? I hate his attitude but I like him as a player. I just don't think he has the ability to start for a top 4 team. He gives 110% all the time, but sometimes it's not enough. He should be played for a 2nd tier team like Newcastle, Pompey, Villa, Man City, etc. As for Sagna, he shouldn't be playing for you. He looks better than he is because you're a good team and are on top of the game most of the time and he can get forward. When it comes to defending, I don't rate him at all. Even Carew owned him for pace in the build up to our goal! I'd prefer to have Eboue back there to be honest. |

I guess you just haven't seen Sagna that much.
If you had, you'd have noted his incredible work capacity, his brilliant runs and well-timed tackles. |

QUOTE (Locke Lamora @ Dec 12 2007, 07:30 PM) That's world-class... Yeah but not being able to control the ball 60% of the times is not. I'm not saying he's bad but with the feed he gets he should score a couple goals per game. QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Dec 12 2007, 07:33 PM) As for Sagna, he shouldn't be playing for you. He looks better than he is because you're a good team and are on top of the game most of the time and he can get forward. That's not Sagna. That's what I'd say about Adebayor. He's a great team player but a starter for a team that's going for the championship? I don't think so... QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Dec 12 2007, 07:33 PM) I'd prefer to have Eboue back there to be honest. Noooo! Eboue sucks big time! |

Then we agree on one thing, Eboue is...not the best player youl'l ever see.
I guess wel'l just have to keep on disagreeing about Adebayor though. |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I just hope he keeps on scoring (unless Arsenal meet Milan), that will keep us both happy! |

QUOTE (kdman @ Dec 12 2007, 02:14 PM) One. A rare gem, whose qualities can never be supressed even by the "blindest" of coaches. Name another? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Pirlo! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

Hmm...Seedorf as well. The metamorphosis from Calamity Clarence to the Dutch Maestro has been something to behold.
And Mourinho managed to 'suppress' the qualities of Sheva pretty well, didn't he. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Both wrong. We're talking about young players coming to milan and getting the requisite opportunity to excel. Seedorf and Pirlo hardly fit that bill.

Pirlo was 21 when Milan bought him. I'd say that's not too far different from Gourcuff's age.
