lol people readily admitting that Pirlo has been garbage for 2~3 years....yet somehow he's still a maestro (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
These are ridiculously low standards. They guy hasn't scored a free kick in 2+ years!! His career assists barely passed double digits in any one season! Good riddance. People forget that Pirlo only reached where he did because of Ancelotti's understanding how to get the best of such a limited player. Neither L30 or Allegri could. Yes he was really good till '07 but after the Arsenal game I hated him sooo much. All he had to do was score ONE free kick to get us back on our feet...without TREMENDOUS support Pirlo = 0 |

I feel that this discussion whether Pirlo is a word-class midfielder or not, is endless. You can either like him or not. But I think we [milan fans] should appreciate what he's done for this club. Is there a need to post youtube videos or to upload a movie made by milan channel, just so some dudes to actually see what he's done and what he's capable of ?
Even Shevchenko in his last season with Milan [the one that was loaned] made crappy appearances, but the guy is still a Milan legend. Same goes for a lot other Milan legends and for Andrea too, whom I consider to be a Milan legend ! |

I don't think he's a Milan legend. He's a Milan great yeah but no legend in my view.

I suggest you watch some of those games if you can, you'll be begin to understand why he was given that nickname. |

It doesn't matter. When a player's effectiveness is to be measured purely in assists/goals...then a lot of great players are to be left at the wayside.
Agree with you..he's a Milan hero. Probably not a legend. You require to retire here to be a legend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Neither Sheva or Kaka retired in Milan, and still they both are Milan legends. At least that's how acmilan.com rates them. |

I don't consider either a legend.
Well...say Baresi, Maldini, Marco Van Basten. And then say Sheva, Kaka, Pirlo. Do you think they should be in the same group?? I mean, granted with time, you look back fondly on the old heroes...and perhaps as football progresses, people like Sheva, Pirlo etc will become legends. Granted I'm partial to Sheva very much, because he is one of our club record holders. Kaka...not so much. Pirlo I adore....but he has always been his own man, living his own little artist's universe. A legend would be an out-and-out club man. |

Indeed, Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini, etc. form one group, while Sheva, Kaka or Pirlo another.

Does it really matter if he is a legend or hero? Honestly now.
