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

IMO, no. Sorry.

IMO you couldn't be more wrong.

There aren't many players play Ronaldo so well as Cole does. Nor score from midfield the way Lamps does. Bosingwa was a revelation last season, Chelsea didn't perform as well as they should because Essien was injured for a lot of the season. Drogba on form is completely unplayable and Terry is the best English centreback.

Cech, for me, is a little dodgy since his injury, however he's still a top keeper. None of the other English sides can match Chelsea on paper. I firmly believe that had they the coaching staff they finished last season with they'd be clear favourites for the title. Especially with Zirkhov added to the squad.

Yes i know Chelski have plenty of stars...i was joking when i made my comment but poor ole Gustov cant take a ****ing joke even if it hits him straight in the face:D:p
Wasn't obvious to me either. Your comedic timing appears to have gone missing.
 
Really :eek: Surprised tbh!

What more would you want from a center midfielder?

Who do you think is a better left back than A.Cole?

Who do you think were the top 3 RB's last season?

Question Time! :D

I didn't say they're not good. They just don't have the qualities of those I have mentioned. Any one of the players I listed would be a fantastic club captain. (With the exception of Arshavin atm). I just don't think Bosingwa, Cole etc would.

Again, I didn't say they aren't good, just that they lack certain qualities that, for me, make a player special.

You don't need to be a leader to be a special player :confused:

Messi and Ronaldo are two of the best players/performers in the world over the past 2 years, I wouldn't put either of them near the armband.

Depends how you define special tbh ;)

But if being in the top 3 in the world at your position in the world doesn't warrant being called 'special' I don't know what does :confused:

Just because the LB and RB I listed don't score lots of goals or get many assists (bosingwa does) It doesn't mean they aren't doing just as important a role defensively.

Yes:( well at the moment its currently being overhauled...ill just have to keep in mind not to joke with Gustov and his lack of humour when posting.
 
I guess "IMO" means nothing anymore...

It's a discussion. There's no point us sharing our opinions if when we're asked we get 'I said it was my opinion!'

You stated your opinion and we're just asking why. You say a player needs to be a leader/club captain material to be special in your eyes. That's fine, but daft, as it rules out the two players I just mentioned, arguably the two most special players in the world right now ;)

:o:D

Back on topic, regardless of 'teams on paper' I think this year will be even tighter than last year. The top three are so evenly matched now.

Shame about Arsenal :D

I see no reason why Messi or Ronaldo wouldn't be worthy of an armband at the right club. Loyalty and attitude is priority over all though so in United, there were better candidates as in Barca, Puyol is a fantastic CB and has been a loyal servant.

Messi could be but Ronaldo?

:D

No chance!
 
Messi and Ronaldo aren't captain material because they're not leaders. Proper leaders are much better captains. That's why Beckham shouldn't have been one...
 
With a few more years of experience, and a bit more maturity, why not?

Well for starters he doesn't set a good example.

Diving, having hissy fits on the pitch and at times choosing not to be a team player.

As good a professional Messi is, he doesn't seem to have the personality required to be a captain. (Not that Messi is my best mate :p )
