Maicon

[interisti]

Mate i think you don't like maicon and that the reason you don't rate him. You claim that you've seen many games for him but i "really really" doubt that you've seen that much of him in the past years (or again you've seen him but you just don't like the guy, it happens).

Maicon was 3rd highest assists in the league last season (4th the season before that) and for a fullback to have that many assists is pretty incredible. And i know like many people who don't really follow serie A one can jump on the wagon and say well serie A is shit (i've heard that many times before specially from those who don't follow the league) but i will go along on that assumption. If maicon was soo overrated and shit then why does a club like chelsea and specially Real madrid who can easilly sign any player in the world would want such a shitty player ?!! Not to mention that he is a starter in the brazilian squad ahead of a player like Dani alves who was brought by Barca for about 30 mil euros, don't you think there is a reason for that !!

It wasn't just he's agent that was saying that Madrid wants him but even Moratti in an interview few weeks ago said that he thought madrid wanted Zlatan but they were really after Maicon and that they would like to have him but till now the only club that offered an official offer is "Citizen".

Believe me when i say i absalutely hate overrating players but maicon deserves the hype around him. It's not just he's talent but he's workrate is incredible. Since he's arrival to the team he was the most dynamic player. Works as hard as 2 players combine.

I'd be definately sad if he left the club, he's by faar my favourite player in the team but i'd much rather see him playing for City than clubs like Madrid, chelsea or United.

A fair point well made but I genuinely have nothing against the guy. If he comes here he'll get my full support and I hope he tears teams to shreads. Maybe he is the best in the world and I think that RB is fast becoming a none defensive position. Also we play 2 holding midfielders so the wing backs can get forward. I just think I would prefer to see new players elsewhere and RB is the one position I definately didn't think we needed anyone new. We have a desperate need for CBs and cover at LB and cover for RSC plus cover for Ireland (what happens if he gets injured, I guess Tevez could fill there if we get him or Barry could). I'm a bit disappointed in our interest is all I'm saying. I really don't think he's any better than what we've got but I may be proven wrong. If he comes I hope I am. ;)

Fair enough ;)

Just bumping this thread as it must surely be the story of the week and yet was floundering in the depths of the Transfer Forum with little interest shown. If we get this lad, we will definitely be a Top 4-5 team next season.

As much as I would love him cant see this happening. Eto'o and Tevez much more likely. I would prefer to keep developing richards to be honest.

the fact we were in for Glen Johnson(confirmed by player during press conf at LPool) means Hughes is not happy with current right back options. I like Richards, but he needs another couple of years of learning and generous helpings of humble pie that won't grow his huge arse.
Maicon would be awesome in our team, but if not him, I would expect another top quality rb

LEft back more of a priority IMHO

I think he is Chelsea bound personally, then again I thought the same about Tevez, what the hell do I know? Lol.

Bridge will be much more settled this year, and have Barry giving protection. Lescott will provide cover
