Fabregas is an attacking midfielder and he will be judged on that basis.

On that basis it is appalling that he has scored fewer goals than Vidic.

Where were you when Guillem Ballague and other luminaries in the Spanish media were calling him for him to be dropped from a starting place in the national team?

Best player his age?You are having a laugh .He is going to be 20 this year.Is he better than Messi,Sergio Aguerro?

@topic

Better alternative indeed,especially if the alternative is actually dead

Does it mean he can't still play Squash?

Sometimes the political class suffer the after effects of their looting.With Hospitals seriously underfunded,ailing pols have to be flown abroad and sometimes that might mean the difference btw life and death

@Loyika a.k.a Is Carrick A Holding Midfielder?

You Arse-anal fans never cease to baffle me with your football illiteracy

Are you still suffering the after effects of McCarthy

I remember last season,Arse-anal fans were going crazy over Senderos,I thought then he was overated.I think I have been vindicated

@Loyika

At Spurs he was a holding midfielder.Whether he gets forward or not is irrelevant.Compared to Keane ,he is the quintessential holding MF.Keane was a box to box player that often left the back 4 exposed.


Its little things like this that let you know the football afficionados from the rest.

4play

don't be dumb, How is Carrick a bloody holding Midfielder

@Loyika

A holding midfielder plays in front of the back four .That is what Carrick does.He starts from a deep position that means he can't get enough onto the positions that will allow him have a shot at goal

What do you think he is?An attacking midfielder

No wonder you support Arse-anal.You don't even know what a holding midfielder is?

@Loyika

When Mendez,Drogba and McCarthy scored those goals,you went scurrying like a rat in a cesspit,blaming PC malfunction

I wonder whether PSV is going to cause another PC malfunction for you

Tkts are out for Arse-anal End Of Season Party.You all know you are winning nothing this season

@kitaun

Keane,Makelele,Carrick were all holding midfielders.The correct comparison should be with Lampard,Scholes

Na Kitaun Papa.Remember he was crying for Loyika when we were having the beef?

kitaun:
4play, what is your definition of overrated I repeat!

Same as it is in the English Language

Abiola wanted to be President,he died.Abacha wanted to continue as President he died

It seems at every transition,political heavyweights drop dead

LoverBwoy:
Can the recent tumble in world stock affect Nigeria at all?

If it is prolonged,it will.The "tumble" seems to be a correction in the markets after stellar growth.It will soon blow over,we had a similar thing last May and it did not affect Nigeria

Should be more worried about how political developments might the market.

If we have a smooth transition then expect a bullish market.

Fighting corrpution will ensure that money meant for the power sector will be used in the sector to replace, maintain or buy new equipment as against the present style of awarding phoney contracts and siphoning the much needed funds into private pockets without anyone asking questions.

If corruption is greatly reduced today, basically every aspect of our lives will improve because the major problem we have today is corruption which encourages less than 2% of the population to keep what belongs to everyone.

In making decisions on matters of national policy,reality is more important than "ifs".Sure,if corruption was greatly reduced,I would trust the Govt to revamp the power sector but 47 years of betrayal has thought me to accept reality

The reality is that the Govt has mismanaged every aspect of the country;education,power,policing,health,e.t.c,.I see no reason to belive that the immediate future is going to be better.

While we live in this reality,I would prefer the private sector to take over the running of our power sector with Govt providing subsidies to ensure low tarrifs for private consunmers.

The Govt has neither the resources nor the track record to manage the power sector.The money spent over the past without results acts as a tax on Nigerians.

Seun:
Beating gongs is not the answer. You need to use sticks and rods to beat the people if they don't comply!

This is why you can't win an election in Nigeria.Politicians are giving out firearms to their thugs and you are offering sticks and gongs

Which Ministerial post will you give me?

I would like to be the Minister of Embezzlement and Matters Ancillary To Looting

Why can't you add Lille prefered to United.

United play more attractive football than Lille

If there are 4 English teams in the Q/F,UEFA will see to it that 4 don't make it to the Semis by pairing 2 against each other in the Q/F

David Beckham is a walking billboard.If people continue to buy merchandise due to him,so be it.He was a great player during his time

@Donzman

Not even China thinks that it is right for N.Korea(a nation where 1 million have died from starvation) to acquire nukes .

Given that Iran is the first nation since the end of the 2nd World War to threaten to wipe out another nation,given Iran's record in the region(its support for terrorists groups ),i don't support their attempts to acquire nukes.

@Christino

You can't call the likes of Sheva overated cos they have done their bit,age is simply catching up with them.The fact that a player cannot continue to deliver as he hits 30 years does not make him overated.

The most overated ones are the young ones ;Fabregas,Torres e.t.c

By the way,what has Owen Hargreaves done that makes him a £17 million target ?

All these people asking for British teams,are you British?

Colonial mentality


Why would anyone rather watch Celtic Than AC Milan,Liverpool rather than Barca,Chelsea rather than Porto

All that is balderdash.It is interesting how elderly people are sceptical about love

A hopelessly deluded bunch

The country is so dysfunctional that politicians feel free to brag about their wealth in public.

If he is worth $2 billion ,that puts him in the rank of the world's richest people ahead of the likes of Oprah and Malcom Glazer(owner of Man Utd).

There must be a lot of patients in Kwara

Nigerians and their sarcasm

@davidylan

Don't you know he is a medical doctor?Maybe he runs an extremely succesful medical practise

I don't think Mikel counts yet .He has not had a full season in which to judge.

Fabregas for me fits the bill.He has the potential to be a great player in the future but as things stand today,he does not justify the hype sorrounding him.

His future potential has no bearing to his current level of performance.

@Loverbwoy

I suppose if Wenger signs Babel,it will be hailed as another mark of his "genius" in finding youth talent
