Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Pique is overrated...he only looks good alongside better defensive players like Puyol, Ramos for Spain, Mascherano at BarcaI'd say the best 5 defenders are: Hummels, T.Silva, Ramos, Chiellini & based on this season Munich's Dante.Pique's overrated because he's had a season where he's been forced to partner Adriano, Mascherano and an inexperienced player like Batra? Give him a solid partner and he's immense.Dante lol. He has the easiest job in football playing for the most organized team in the League. Next you're going to tell me Jerome Boateng is World Class.And I said players of his ilk which means ball playing CB's like Barzagli not monsters like Chiellini.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 For me ramos is overrated, he is athletic but his decision making is just really2 rashHow is Ramos overrated? The lad is f***ing immense and I'd give anything to have him here, he has absolutely no weakness, 2nd best CB in the World!I can literally watch the lad defend all day. Complete defender.

Henrique 9,133 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Seems to me that the Daily Mail's story on Luiz not wanted by Mourinho has been taken down completely. The link posted yesterday is no longer valid and can't find it in their website either.Today they are calling Luiz "the next captain".

yuvala 2,167 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think he is missing something to his defensing game, he's not consistent enough when playing there, I feel like he still needs a lot of work.But he is good with the ball, fast, strong - he has a lot of potential! Not taking anything away from him, he's still a really good CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete defender.He's a head-case and one of the worst scumbags in football. Second maybe only to Pepe and Suarez (when he's hungry).

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 People say Luiz is a future captain... can't even get picked above Torres, lmao.Yeah because we should make dead cert conclusions because of a glorified post season friendly right?

More like better recognition in THAT particular environment. You advertise the well-known to get greater returns...... Torres captains = more US Tshirt sales.

It's all about marketing and nothing else How would that even be instigated though?, it's not as if Gourlay & Buck waltzed into the dressing room and gave him the armband. Unless the hierarchy at the club suggested it to Benitez, who at this point has zero influence I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still the best defender the club will ever have play for them.I don't want to get into a Terry convo on this thread, I've posted other opinions about him previously. But I just wanted to say, yes, I agree with you on all accounts with Terry. If we were another club looking to purchase him I would say the same thing (i.e. no thank you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
