**Summer Transfer Thread: News, Rumours and Speculation**

meh. I find it very hard to imagine players being worth any more then 25/30 million.

Ronaldo for 80 million was silly.
More fool Real for paying that much.
Kaka, for 60, that's still a lot of money for a player.

****, 45 for Zizou was a stupid fee.

Silly money which will pay for itself within 3/4 years! Hardly stupid i would say! Theres a reason there the biggest club in the world!
 
So Ronaldo is worth 4x what you think Mascherano is worth?

You can back out of this at any time, I wont look down on you.

Attacking players have always been given more credit, paid better and people are willing to pay more for.

Yes. Ronaldo probably is worth 4x what most players are worth. It's not right.
 
I'm sorry mate, as much as I would like to agree with you as a fellow utd fan I can't. Flamini and Diarra are not as good as Mascherano. Hargreaves could potentially be but he is always injured, Pirlo is a totally different player to Masch, much better at passing but nowhere near the same level of work rate, tackling, marking. Gattuso is past it, De Rossi is not as good, Zambrotta is a full-back. Really the only person there in the same league as Mascherano is Essien.

Falmini and Diarra are very good defensive mids ;)
Hargreaves would be, if he wasn't a cripple.
Pirlo, plays defensive mid.
Gattuso isn't past it, a few more years in him.
De Rossi is a good player.
Zambrotta is very good in DM, (not in drunken)
Essien is better then Mash, imo, not by much, but by enough.

I agree with you, and I would agree that Essien is better than Mascherano, but I don't think any of the other players there are that close to Masch or Essien.

Bah!

Hargreaves - Unproven, u cant mention his name next to masch if he doesnt play.
Pirlo - Plays DM but doenst do the same duties -different player
Gattuso - Box to box midfielder - not a DM
De Rossi - Errr no!
Zambrotta - Just no again, he's a FB. Hence why he's played DM like what 10 times
Essien - maybe better, but again is a box to box player.

Essien is better then Masch, by a little bit, probbaly the same amount Mash is better then Diarra ect ect,

Gattuso, is old :(
 
You know what's funny... If someone would have mentioned Flamini as being one of the best DMs in the world prior to his 1 good season at Arsenal and his move to Milan they would have been laughed at, hard.

He is no where near Mascherano, not even close. The only reason he got rated so highly in the season before last is because of his partnership with Cesc and let's not forget he was very close to moving to Birmingham of all places that year ;)

Yeh, if hes so good why's he not playing for AC. Dont understand how people can compare him with Masch

Hargreaves isn't unproven.
Pirlo, plays DM a bit differently to Mash.
Gattuso, is old, but still one of the best defensive mids in the world, not a box to box. Same goes for Essien except he's younger.
De Rossi is a good player.
Zambrotta, is a more then capable DM and has played their a lot, I've seen him play there, he's a good DM.
