Rumoured Maicon

[The Big Drog 1,110]

It was a two off actually. The way he was exposed horribly each time Bale even tried to go at him which was when he was 28.... now he's 30 everyone will go at him. For me, Maicon's career revolves around those Tottenham games and i will always remember those games when i think of him which wont change.

Why does it revolve around only those two horrible games? For each of those games there is a dozen world class performances.

RE: Maicon + Bale:

Bosingwa kept Messi quiet for a full game.

Does that mean he's a brilliant defender?

lol is that badboy? I remember his stupid posts claiming Modric was at Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day last season

For the 1000th time that was a joke between me and my work colleague's.

also,

Luiz Suarez skinned John Terry inside out at Anfield, does it mean JT is a useless defender? Oh God, it looked as if JT's career was over.

I think our board is not that stupid, they know what they are doing. I hope really hope so.

Well then, you're being naive.

When the tactics are bad, the players look bad. Simple as that. Don't you guys think ash would have got caught by munich's right side players had he been the only player trying to block the runs on our left side? If you leave space to a sprinter like bale there is just no way he is not going to abuse it.

Remember the whole vidic is poor against nando thing? Haven't players like ramiresmade world class defenders look like shit? It's all about the way.the game goes and how you want your players to deal with certaim threats.

Then again if a guy like bale was never able to use his.strenghts to his full advantage the just because there are good defenders on the pitch thenn football would be a.strange game wouldn't it?

It's like saying cech is a bad keeper because cisse score two screamers against us.

When the situation gives a clear advantage to the attacking player to use his strenghts you cannot always expect the defender to come out on top and save the day. Although I guess our recent performances in the cl have gotten us used to things goimg the other way around.

Yes hope its true but there are no quotes!

[Muzchap 8,966]

Hmm I for one will be sad if we don't sign him.

Fact: he has been one of the most consistent players over the past years. Ok he had a wobbler against Bale - but he probably thought who's Bale? And didn't take it seriously, best thing to happen to a defender, now he knows to research his opposition and make sure the doesn't happen again.

Who can also forget JT being skinned alive against Liverpool? JT made Carroll look world class that day, does that mean JT is a bad player - No!!!

I worked with SI Games the guys who make Football Manager, and currently the guys making FIFA, whilst stats are one thing in games - everybody knows experience is crucial...

Maicon would be great for a few seasons and really help blood the youngsters it's a win win for everybody - and do a Man City, keep him as a coach afterwards, kinda hoping Drogba comes back after China too, to do the same thing

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

I think we're still the favourites to sign him (Thankfully). I don't believe the Madrid links.

Thats stupid. Maicon is a good player, and when good players join the club, the club gets stronger, How can you be happy with a good player moving to another club?

He is too old and has not been playing well the last season! Debuchy, piszeck and azpi are all good players too and would make me happy!

Maicon is only 30, I hope you didnt know it, because only a stupid guy would say a 30 years old player is too old, and how can you discard player because he didnt played well one season? Pirlo was not playing well at Milan when he left, but the quality was there. Sometimes a player needs fresh air and new challenges to start playing good again.

This is not fantasy football, good players that can make us strong shall always come and play here, not only your favorite ones.

But so far we've been linked with youngsters attacking wise to be the future of the club. Surely this should be no exception. Ivanovic should be first choice RB with a younger, up and coming player behind him to come in and then take over for the future. It seems Hutchinson wont be trusted but there are younger right backs out there playing for less established clubs that could possibly go up to the next level like some that have been mentioned numerous times. Surely the £6m price tag shows that Maicon is not great any more?

IIRC that's because he's contract is running out. Also answer me this, do you think RB's like Debuchy will be happy with being 2nd choice and on the bench?
