Wow, just came back from lunch to see all these quotes. Nice. I am anti-Pirlo. We have Lampard to "pass knowledge" to our current midfielder(s). And yes he played 90+ minutes in the Champions Final. Big deal. He didn't do anything IMO. Just running after a ball and cries cause his team lost.
Look, I'm all up building up a team with foreign talent but we already have Villa and Lampard. I like the new signing so far in Iraola and Angelino.
And now to answer what midfielder I would like, here are my picks: Fernando Reges (28), Tiago Mendes (34) and Blase Matuidi (28) but that wont happen anytime soon but its good to dream. LOL. Anyways why settle again for a 36 year old if we already have Lampard to fill that void?
