QUOTE (Linkman @ Oct 26 2013, 12:28 AM) I have a firm opinion that Seedorf at his 50 or 60%, four years ago, is miles better than most midfielders in Italy right now.
Yes, that includes Montolivo. Seedorf at 100% was pure footballing genius, a legend. Seedorf at 50% was simply a lazy player who at times hindered the team rather then helped it

It was time to let him go from Milan, yes, because physically he wasn't cutting it anymore, but his vision, passing and sense of pace are still amazing. But I can agree to disagree...

Especially when comparing Serie A to the Brazilian league, where it is simply a level lower, especially in terms of defence which is why Seedorf was able to make such an impact at his age, the same could be said for Dinho, as both have amazing technique, vision, etc but have deteriorated physically to a point where they can no longer be as effective with a top club where the physical demands are so higher

Yet, I've seen Montolivo doing the same season after season, with Fiorentina, with us - playing 1 good game and a bunch of very absent ones, with less effort and less heart.

But four years ago, under Leo, he was still good enough to be one of the best, even at his 50-60%. That's what I meant.
