Maicon

[Barntonblue]

The real deal this guy! Style of play is suited to the prem.

I'll tell you another player who would easily cut it would be his Brazilian CB partner Luisao (i think) I know he's getting on but he again would make it in this league.

god i must of been watching a different game, the guy was a good outlet for inter and helped push them up the pitch, but world class last night he wasnt, his final ball the majority of the time was poor, that being said, he is a world class right back and id love to see him in a city shirt

His defensive work was impeccable you nutter, faultless, saving a certain goal on more than one occasion. That block on Drogba was out of this world.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:42 am --<br /><br />

Lol, he doesn't have a CB partner because he's a RB, and I think you mean Lucio, who'll be at Inter for a couple of years and wil be past it by the time he leaves.

Alright "Defensive Partner" , or the guy playing next to him what ever way you want me to put it.

We'll he's not past it yet evidently. He's a tough CB to which most CF wont like being up against.

 

[AntMcfc]

Yeah he's been world class this season, not many around bettering his performances. If there's any defender we need to target this summer it's Chiellini, grab him before the WC starts and his stock rises hugely.

 

[Barntonblue]

Not seen much of chellini first hand. Just the rumours he's a young agressive defender that promises to be the next best thing in Italy. If he Is then we'll gauge that by which big clubs come in for him.

With regards to Maicon, you know what youre gonna get, you know he will cut in this league. No time to settle in etc!! he wont need it. Just him being in that RB position will put fear into the opposition. They wont dare take him on, they'll either work the ball either down the middle or down the right making the opposition predictable.

If someone asked you how to beat city at the moment I would say get that ball down the flanks, overload them and you'll get loads of space to get cross after cross in.

The likes of luisao even at his age are valuable. He's agressive and so passionate. Have you seen how he captains Brazil? When they qualified for the WC you could see his veins popping out. Drogba didnt get any change and neither did Rooney in Qatar with England.

Chilleni when ive watched him is just an out and out defender.
Strong, good in the air and loves a tackle.
I personally dont want him as i think next season Kompany and Lescott can push on and be one of the best partnerships in the league.

Maicon Kompany Lescott LB?????

Chilleni can play left back but we wont someone like Evra/Ash Cole.
Someone who can defend and attack at a high standard.

 

[blue wang]

Rather Dani Alves

Really?
Never been the best defender, he's great going forward though. Maicon in my view is stronger, better in the air and most importantly can defend better than Dani Alves.

dani alves also has a 90 milllion buy out clause

 

[blucat599]

I am sure Mancio would have been studying that game very hard, if not at the game itself, watching on TV
He will have noted the 2 best players on the pitch and made a resolution to appeal to the Sheikh to give him the funds to make sensational bid to bring them both to City, or am I deluded?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maicon is made for us and the Premier League.

World class.

He along with Lucio, Cambiasso and especially Sneijder, would be brilliant for us.

Tipping them to go all the way now.

I'd make a bid for 1 for sure!

 

[Freestyler]

Mentioned Maicon for months and months like alot of people on here, real quality player, bobby manc open the chequebook!

With Mancini here it's makes me even more confident on signing him, ex-inter and all that.

Break the bank, we need a top quality RB, Maicon is the man.

This is true!

 

[Freestyler]

Maicon over Alves everytime.

for the people who say attacking is good, but he can't defend, watch the highlights of the chelsea game again, he made 3 WORLD CLASS block/tackles to stop chelsea scoring, drogba 2 of them, and the rest...

doesn't go to ground much either.

 

[kippaxblue76]

That is the first time i have watched him for a full game, didnt realise how good he was, so much much better than anything we have, maybe Richards could learn from him if he was brought in.

 

[inbetween]

I'd have Sneijder first but can't see us getting either.

 

[Clubber]

People have mentioned him on here and i have slagged him, yet last night he looked brilliant.

So quick, i thought his brother was playing right wing he got up and down that quick.

I also thought milito looked good, and snjider was the best player on the park.

I still remeber Holland against France in the Euros, a brilliant game, and he was top draw.

Mancini is the one who discovered Maicon and insisted on him when he was in the French league, am sure he knows him pretty well ;)
