Sure, he wasn't a starter in the stellar Milan defense. He was a backup. But he still played for Milan occasionally, and wasn't bad. Anyway, what's your point guys? I really don't think Roque Junior is comparable to Barone or Amelia who didn't play a minute of tournament, nor is he a laughing matter like Emanuelson or Boateng.
He's a winner, a man who showed he can play at the highest level and win it all. Boateng and Emo don't even come close.

I respectfully disagree, maybe he's not a laughing matter like Boateng, but being a winner as I said sometimes has more to do with being lucky rather than being great. I don't think Junior was great so imo, that makes him lucky

Lucky you are as a third goalkeeper, like Amelia, called up once and never again for a big tournament and ending up with a medial. Roque Junior won trophies with both Milan and Palmeiras. He had almost 50 caps for Brazil, played as a starter, won the World cup and also the Confederations cup for Brazil, as a starter. On top of it, he had luck to be picked for the CL final, yes, I grant you that one. But you don't win so many things (as a regular player) just because of luck. Kleberson, Marcos - those can be labeled as lucky. But a starting CB who played so many games? Hardly.

Kleberson is. Marcos, yes you're right. I had Dida in my mind as a starter, completely forgot that Marcos was their first pick.

For me Junior was just decent, barely good on his day, the fact that Brazil at that particular time weren't particularly known for their top class CB picks is also a factor here. For me, a player who's at Junior's level of quality mostly has to be lucky to win big titles in his career, not only that but to win football's biggest 2 titles as well. I think he is a lucky player, to play in that era for Brazil and to be a bench warmer at Milan as well when we were just going to start another great cycle under Ancelotti

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Nov 11 2015, 05:49 PM) Vasquez? Is he good? Zamparini asks €30 million. That's a lot for a nobody. Yeah, sounds like way too much. And I don't think Zamparini is on the list of "Galliani's buddies", so it will probably not happen. Seems like we are getting KPB back. Witsel and Sensi are also mentioned, as is Ranocchia ( link). FWIW, none of this makes me feel particularly comfortable. There must be better options out there ...
