Francesco Totti has been Serie A’s most effective player so far this season, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport

Totti’s 6.79 average rating is better than anyone in Serie A

Effective as in what way??

As the old saying goes.....

No Totti No Party, another one who was never respected in my country from Italy.

Mind you it took England till 2012 to realise how good Ibra is ffs

Effective in raping Seria A by himself

he is a miracle , people often forget that on September he will be 37 years old , just unbelievable ....

I've been saying he has been the best player in Serie A this year and even above SES.

How he isn't mentioned among top playmakers baffles me as its quite obvious his age hindering that attention.

Its ridiculous how excellent he has been under Zeman (surprise anyone?). Funny thing is despite being slower than a slug, he dribbles past opponents with guile and efficiency. I don't even need to mention how good he makes the team look along with his clutch performances. Has been fantastic this season.

There is this sort of genius with his dribbling,he always manages to catch the opponents players off balance even though he's become slow to a not believable point.

Still better than 95% of playmakers right now.

His contract with Roma ends with 2014 and he is most likely going to retire by then but he should try and hang on for a little bit and try and bring the Worlc Cup back to Italy as they would really benefit with him even at that age.

He's still top class even at his age, absolute joy to watch.

Some of you might not understand the analogy but here goes....

His dribbling is like a spinner in cricket.

He can easily change the pace of how he moves the ball and like most spinners he can throw out that incredibly slow dribble which defenders are not prepared for....

Its a lost art and quite frankly hes just a genius.

Quite a brilliant analogy there. One that I'll use to impress my friends when talking about players like Totti. Don't be surprised if it reaches London.

He is a genius. Always struggle to find superlatives when i want to describe him. Every word i can think of seems to undermine his ability

King of Rome

Simply the greatest of all time!

Great thread Totti is one of the few elegant players left from yesteryears where elegance was the epitome of football. Totti is a musician and an artist combined. I get the weirdest emotions in the pit of a my stomach watching Francesco play as he creates masterpieces left and right with every deft movement. I can proudly say that I shed a tear every time I watch this god at work. WE ARE NOT WORTHY
