Burning Gold 599 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Mine are Iniesta, for the reasons Stan said, and one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned already which is Zidane. I'd actually have Pirlo as my holding midfielder. Not as defensive as Busquets but exceptional in that deeper role. But it's too late for that. 51 minutes ago, Chaaay AFC said: Iniesta has to be there, absolute magician in the middle of the park. I actually think my other would be Frank Lampard, the perfect all round midfielder and a pure goal-getter. I think he was the best English midfielder of his generation. So Iniesta & Lampard. You're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,383 Posted March 20, 2017 Administrator Share Posted March 20, 2017 Changing my Pirlo vote to Zidane actually. I just watched a load of stuff he did on YouTube and i've changed my mind again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm being harsh with my comment to be honest and people can vote for who they like. Maybe we should all put our reasoning behind our selection like Stan has done in this latest one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was closer between the two at the time to be fair, but Iniesta proved to be way more than just a consequence of that excelent Barça side, just like Messi. Today that myth about some of those Barça players is well and truly buried I believe. He could play in any side in the world... be it in Germany, Italy or England and do excellently. There's world class and then there's Iniesta class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted March 21, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted March 21, 2017 Iniesta definitely has to be in this position just because it always looks like the football wants to be with him when hes running. Oozes class both on and off the pitch. The second position is debatable and I have seen Maradona play but I was too young to really appreciate the genius. I am going to go with a Brazilian here and plug Ronaldinho in the slot to allow the CM to become an AM as well in the formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Maradona it's not like the material isn't there. Infact you can watch every single one of his professional games if you like and then everyone will know. It's not black and white stuff. When everyone says he was the greatest ever, they're not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just stating that in my opinion I can't vote for someone I've never seen play. It's like agreeing with someone else's choice that X film is the greatest film ever even though I've never seen it. That's their opinion that it's the greatest film ever and a million other people may think so. But I've not seen that film so I don't feel I'm in a position to comment on it? The same goes with players like George Best, Zico, Yashin as mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was trying to say is that with Maradona it's not like with other players of the past where the material is sparse (although we can blame media companies for that in many cases). Thankfully he played in an era where the cameras were already at every football match even though unlike today not everything was transmitted live. Is there any way we can make you have the time? Haven't you got a younger brother that can go out for a few months to do your job for you? What are older brothers there for anyway except for telling their younger ones to do as they say.

When my brother was younger (I'm four years older than him) I used to get him to do all those things I didn't like doing like even tying up my shoelaces (that one I used to tell him it would benefit him in the future) or even cleaning my trainers. I do feel guilty now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough thats our age gap and I haven't ever tied any shoelaces but I sure have done a lot of other things like being told that doing his homework would help me at my studies in four years time . Newsflash, it didn't. OT: Looks like Iniesta is a shoe-in and maybe Zidane will climb up to Maradona if more people vote for him. Interesting.
