Re: Verratti Appreciation Thread

[DuringTheWar]

I see a thread about a young talented midfielder still can't be prevented from turning into a thread about Jack wilshere, dat relevance. Just waiting for dmac now to see this and get the party swingin

[Robespierre]

yep I forgot it's difficultt to talk about Wilshere ( a bit over-hated) on GL

[Tomwin Lannister]

Wilshere vs Barca is the most overrated performance in recent times

Please elaborate with valid points that are supported by evidence.

Thank you

He was good, especially for a 18/19 y.o., kept up with Xaviesta, but dominate ? If Wilshere dominated that game, there must be a definition for this word I'm yet to hear about.

Albertini (ex-Milan -Barcelona): "Verratti reminds me of Xavi, I've told him that more than once. He plays like a Barça player." [gazzetta]

Yes.

[halamadrid2]

looooooooool Veratti is so different from Xavii you can fit a country between them

He is similar to Modric though

[Valkyrja]

I find gundogan more similar to Xavi than Verratti

[free_cat]

Verratti is overated as shit. Dude is constantly turning over balls in dangerous areas, he is an extremely rough tackler who gets sent off very often and if refs weren't clueless he should be sent off more. And his haircut is awful.

It depends on what if you think when you say overrated. He's not the second coming of Jesus like most people make him, but he is one of the best centre midfielders in the world and he's just 22. Wonderful talent

"I love Verratti. I like his vision of the game. He never loses the ball," Xavi said. "He would fit well in the Barca game. I'd like to see him at Barcelona."

Tapping up players even when he's not with us

[Myesyats]

Can't think of anyone who would fit in better in Barca's midfield atm

Dream signing

[RealGunner]

Wow

[Hapless_Hans]

I realize that it's a professional yellow, but as a ref I'd be tempted to give a red card for this kind of blatancy tbh

I always for some reasons thought Gundo was more heir to Xavi than verratti. Anyone else share this view?

[Mr Nick09]

nextlevel passer, only top1% footballers can play the lofted through ball with this much consistency, it's pretty scary
