Paolo Maldini - Quality & Integrity
Do you think Maldini can be compared to the best ever players to play the sport on the basis of His consistency? (24 years as a starter in one of the biggest teams in Europe)
Yes, He's up there [ 31 ] ** [96.88%]
I understand why some people would say that but I don't agree [ 0 ] ** [0.00%]
No way [ 1 ] ** [3.12%]
The Ultras that booed Maldini at the last game claim that He prolonged His retirement at the expense of the team. Do you think that's true?
No. We'd be in a much worse situation if it was not for His help [ 24 ] ** [75.00%]
Ancelotti was forced to play Him because of His status when others could have done better [ 8 ] ** [25.00%]
What should happen to the ultras who booed Maldini?
They should be killed with hammers [ 6 ] ** [21.43%]
They should be killed with bazookas [ 8 ] ** [28.57%]
They should be killed with sliding tackles [ 14 ] ** [50.00%]

I was wondering about your thoughts on these two issues.

Maldini bless you!

For me Paolo may just be the most perfect footballer of all time. Gracious, dignified, a model pro - and arguably the best defender the game has ever seen.

However, he u-turned on retirement not once but twice before he finally hung up his boots, and his final 2 or 3 seasons were below what we previously saw from him - quite a few mistakes crept in, and the legs had gone, as well as injuries punctuating him.

I have a lot of respect for him, but I do feel he was morally wrong to remain in the side while guys like Silva and other youngsters had to wait their turn. tbh, his 2 u-turns angered me a little - he didn't need to stay on.

That said, I hate all Ultras - I think they're hooligans who use football as a vehicle to peddle hate and violence. And I equally hate booing anyone in your own team, whoever you are and whoever you support.

silva wasn't elligible to play last season and i honestly doubt carlo would have started a youngster over kaladzhe, favalli
