Re: Martin Demichelis
Even if he's past his best (he was terrific in his early Bayern years), Demichellis offers much more than any of the other centrebacks to our style of play. Some of his sliding tackles remind me of De Jong, and he's probably one of the best headers of the ball. He likes to play with a bit of risk that sometimes haunts him, but I can't remember him costing us 2 or 3 points. Somehow the media acts like he is our 30 million defender and are very critical. However Dzeko escaping Ferdinand with ease would never have happened to Demichellis.
