How does such an obvious troll last long enough to get 10,000 posts? 

 

Why don't you post your opinion instead of these nothing posts, I've sent you a PM explaining how you can block my posts so that you don't have to read them.

 

Hope this helps.

I know how to block your posts, I don't want to. Don't have an opinion on Essien I particularly want to post other than he's not in any way shape or form an upgrade for Cambiasso. Different player and clearly not as good.

 This is an Essien thread. Just block me or don't reply to me if you can't accept someone having a different view of a player to you.

 

Essien is old and talented, Cambiasso hasn't committed to the club it would be a similar situation if Essien is brought in for Cambiasso. 

 

We certainly won't be looking at Essien to link up as a midfield combo with Cambi - his only job would be as a replacement.

 

Personally would prefer Gourcuff over both of them. He's young and talented but injury hit.

I don't watch much Serie A football, what makes you think that 'the physicality that was his prime attribute, has left him to some extent'?

Is it an assumption or have you seen him play recently?

I've watched as many games as I can on Satellite. And read reports, both of matches and by supporters.

He's not the player he once was, by most accounts. But I trust Pearson. We'll see.

Despite having entirely different playing styles?

So long as we arent over paying for what most likely is a past it player then id trust nige.

Cambi i think is a totally different class then essien.

It's the experience and wisdom. both are past it as far as playing at a high Prem level.

To be fair Inter fans were saying that Cambiasso was way past it before he signed for us

EC hasn't go fúcked up knees though

Seems past it according to reports from Milan

 

You say that, many Milan supporters were sad to see Cambi go yet were saying he was past it ...little did they know!

He was world class, but we cannot afford to have him in our team. Why he was so good at Chelsea was because he was expected to stay deep and pop up every now and then in the box. They had the creative players to make it work. Cambiasso had this role for Inter too, but he's proven he's got that quality going forward too. I'm not sure Essien has or even had in his prime. I've seen him recently and he doesn't look close to the player he was. Not for me

I haven't read the entire thread, so someone might have already said this.

 

To the people worried that this rumour means Cambiasso is leaving, don't be. NP will look for player to replace Cambiasso should he decide to leave, but that doesn't mean he is leaving. You have to plan for all eventualities.

 

I always thought Essien was a very good player. Whether he's still got it, I don't know.

 

I tend not to worry about transfers anymore. I trust NP to make good or excellent signings nearly every time.

Cambiasso and Essien aren't really similar players so I don't see where you're getting that from. Essien is more like James in terms of the dynamic box-to-box play (although at his pomp, far better), so I'd expect more that James is out for longer than we were expecting than Cambiasso is on his way

 

I'm going with the do we want two 30+ midfielders in the engine room playing in the most high tempo league in the world angle.

Most foreign players end their career in Greece as opposed to starting it.

 

Good luck at Panathinaikos, Michael.

 

Aaaand... onto the next one.

A great player in his day but unfortunately injuries have taken there toll and he is no where near the player he was, if he wasnt on big wages maybe worth a punt but not top wages? :nono:

Our scouting is done on a statistic basis is it not over 5 games ... Sure I read a report from rob Mckenzie regarding our scouting process
