Yeah, it's not like he was already in Ballon D'Or shortlist at 20, was 3rd at 21 and we have actual match footage to base our judgement on (even if we disregard romanticized quotes of the greats about him).



Can you explain why???


because nobody here knows shit about him.....like harms said, we cant use the quotes about him because they are not realistic and we only have one game where we can watch him play. Third in the Balon d'or is fantastic achievement but for me its just impossible to create a realistic opinion of him and i just cant compare him with other greats in his position.
 
I think Hierro was largely confined to defence by 1997-2000. Although I'm not that arsed about that criterion, and the midfield trio is formidable. Aguero, Koeman and Irwin* are a little lightweight in this company. Well constructed back four though, very complementary partnerships.

*sorry Irish caftards don't shoot me.

Aye, I'd argue Irwin's listed peak is a few years too late also. I really like how Berba's team is set up though, and Aguero's getting a slightly rough ride imo.

Aguero perhaps but not Irwin and Koeman imo.

Irwin???? You crazy??? Yes Im an irish united fan.. you go find me footage of him having a bad game.. koeman definitely isnt out of place. And you just have to look at agueros goals to games ratio since joining premiership. And that is without stoichkov zidane edwards donadoni cole and irwin all in his side who are very good and creating chances.
 
I'll give you Donadoni though, he's been a little under-rated in the thread. Was there a better right midfielder in the late 1980s/early 1990s? Michel perhaps, but Donadoni was a huge player for Milan.

Don't know enough about him across the breadth of his career but having seen him in the CL final of 1994.. he looked very instrumental.

hes crossing ability is fantastic.. seldom misses his target.. with me up vs moore and charles i need to be pinpoint with my crossing and donadoni is one of the best.

His dribbling is very underrated too, he was beating men with ease in that game.. probably Milan's most consistent threat during that game.
 
well looks like green_smiley is going to win fair played to him has a strong side..

Just needs a striker and maybe another more dynamic midfielder and he wont be too far away from winning..

Not really. As some point out, my team still has flaw. I don't know what the score, and I think my team edges yours because I have more detailed tactics, and also preference of most voters toward legends

Upgrade gerson, klinsmann,littbarski and jane in that order and you are going to win the draft imo. Your team is easily good enough to get to the semis.

May be Klinsmann &Littbarski, but not Gerson imo.
 
Why Gerson? This is the best midfield I can think of him to excel in. His lack of work rate would be easily covered by two work horses in Di Stefano and Rijkaard, and when AdS moves forward you still have a world class creative midfielder controlling the game. I think he's vital here.
 
This was Gerson in 1970 final , two man MF, was brilliant with either side of him game.

Yups, for once he is in a set up where he can shine without being regarded as a liability. I think @peterstorey would have something to say about Gerson needing to be "upgraded".
 
If I want to upgrade Klinsmann, I want a forward that can be a provider as well as goalscorer, someone who is flexible so as not just waiting for the ball. Not sure if getting a new CB and put Charles upfront is a good idea or not

Reason why people doubt Gerson is probably the same as why Pirlo is not picked. A DLP or midfield that creates from deeper position is often labelled as defensive liability, but when uses in a right team they can be very effective
 
Gerson should definitely stay, one of the very best central midfielders around and with Rijkaard there it would be a bit too early to replace him. Rijkaard and Gerson would both do better with someone more defensive next to them but it is still a very fine duo.

I'd look at upgrading Klinsmann for a GOAT, then Littbarski. After that small tactical upgrades will do as the other players are pretty damn great.

You don't need creativity with Rijkaard and di Stefano there imo. Having a ball winner there to both form a double pivot with Rijkaard and allow him and di Stefano complete creative freedom would be better imo.

I think both setups have merit. It's not wrong to have a Holding Midfielder next to Rijkaard and you normally you wouldn't need a second playmaker with AdS but it just takes a lot of burden off him and he can enjoy banging in goals up from with Gerson setting him up.

I personally rate secondary threats/weapons very, very highly in these games. All time draft, guns against guns, it's easily possible you'd need to help out even someone like AdS in a tough game.

Four enough, that's a valid point as well.

Law.

And yes, Charles upfront is a bad idea.

Agree with whoever said your upgrades are Klinsmann, Litti and Janes. I'd argue Klinsmann and Janes first because the former will quickly be out of his depth and the latter will get you feck all credit. I actually really like how Litti would work in your current setup, friggin' awesome, you could put a truckload of bigger names and they wouldn't make as much sense as he does.

:nono:
 
:lol:, but you agree, don't you?

Well, of course.

Would be the perfect upgrade for Klinsmann here. Can probe around the entire forward line in a similar fashion to Klinsmann, has the technique to dovetail beautifully with Di Stefano as he perfectly illustrated in that FA centenary 1963 match, could pose a legitimate aerial threat with Dzajic and Brehme's crossing, could play as a foil when needed for Di Stefano or Litti's goalscoring abilities, could poach of course and pose a proper pacy threat on the counter. All whilst posing a significant individual threat himself without needing others to elevate him. Could do everything Klinsmann did but on a higher level. Ok I better stop there before I lose greensmiley's vote :lol:.

:lol: He does completely sky a couple of shots in it, but did manage to score later in the game. Why can't all footage be as good as this?

:lol:

It was more of his link-up play and his all-round performance which caught my eye esp in the first half (and Yashin's condescending save of Greaves shot in the dying seconds of the first half). Even Djalma Santos called Law the best player in that match.

EDIT : 36.11 for the Yashin save :lol:
