I'll add the double Bender, too. Very Happy

Marchisio. Everyone gives Vidal and Pirlo all the credit, but Marchisio has done just as mich as them, if not more.

Others include De Rossi, Cambiasso, and Essien. These three all used ti be big names, but i dont know what happenned.

by TonyDaBeast Wed May 09, 2012 5:02 pm

marchisio isnt a holding midfielder hes a box 2 box just like vidal, and pirlo ain't a holding midfielder either. juve plays with no DM..

by Cassius Wed May 09, 2012 5:06 pm

... Vidal is a DM.. just a very very versatile one.

Because Everton paid 16m for him and he's on a long term contract and most clubs are not crying out for a player in his position.

I do agree, he's top quality tho, i wonder if Spurs could consider him as a long term replacement for Parker hmm

Chelsea could use him too i suppose.

Nocerino

Fellaini + Luiz combo!

Manchester United could use him too to be honest. Disciplined defensive, technically sound for a player of any size and make correct decisions on the field more often than not. A holding role in a 3 men midfield might suit him better though.

Mario Suarez and Gargano.

Fellaini is a good shout out.

In La Liga some good names rarely praised are: Bruno (Villareal), Iturraspe (Bilbao), Mario Suarez (Atleti), Camacho and Toulalan (Malaga)...

Do you know why?

"That says everything" - *bleep* is that supposed to mean.

Good call on the Bender twins, probably my fav twin footballers ever.

Also Benoit Pedretti from Lille, for 5 years that he was in Auxerre he was a major reason for their success and CL appearances. Very underrated I think, he was great for Lille this season too.

Another one is Roman Neustadter from Borussia Monchengladbach, they only conceded 24 goals in Bundesliga and he was anchoring their midfield amazingly all season. I think Schalke snatched him up already for next season if I'm not mistaking.
