You need to dig your head out of your ass.

Then i take it that you were not alive when Scholes blew the PREM apart in 2002/3 and Roy Keane in 99-2001.

Negro please. . . . they never did it to Fabregas level. . . . matter of fact, Fergie would sell his whole midfield just to get hold of a player like Fabregas.

Ask yourself this question. . . . how many central midfielders have been by and large the outstanding performers in the history of the Prem?. . . . at this moment, no striker or winger compares to Fabregas. . . . thats how I measure quality. . . . even when Keane, Scholes, Lamps etc were running things, they were always outshone by a striker or winger. . . . at this moment, Fabregas has more impact than anyone else. . . . 12 goals, close to 20 assists, complete domination of the midfield. . . and we're only halfway through the season. . . . what more do you want?. . . . Lamps in his most brilliant season would pray for 20 assists. . . .

Ibime:

Over SAF's dead-body. . . . .
Sell United's title-winning midfield for Fabregas who cannot even win Carling Cup to save his gypsy arse?

Ask yourself this question. . . . how many central midfielders have been by and large the outstanding performers in the history of the Prem?

On the top of me head. . . .

Keane
Vieira
Scholes

. . . . at this moment, no striker or winger compares to Fabregas. . . . thats how I measure quality. . . . even when Keane, Scholes, Lamps etc were running things, they were always outshone by a striker or winger. . . .

Does this not tell you the whole Arsenal team is built around Fabregas?
Where is your perspective, Ijaw man?
When the team was built around Ronaldo at Man Utd(Rooney on the left, Tevez on the right). . .How many goals did Ronaldo score?
Ronaldo became the best player in the planet because there were runners around him ready to do the dirty job he couldn't manage.

at this moment, Fabregas has more impact than anyone else. . . . 12 goals, close to 20 assists, complete domination of the midfield. . . and we're only halfway through the season. . . . what more do you want?. . . . Lamps in his most brilliant season would pray for 20 assists. . . .

That has to do with the quality of players in Arsenal. . . . .It simply means Cesc is their best player and his team has been built around him.
When we had Keane n Scholes, there were still Giggs, Beckham and the destructive combination of Yorke and Andy Cole.
When Arsenal had Vieira, there were still the Dutch Wizard(Bergkamp), Henry and Pires. . . .How many players in the current Arsenal squad WILL WALK INTO the Invincibles of 2003/4? Only Cesc. . . . . .and Arshavin will sit on the bench.

Stick Fabregas in Chelsea today and Drogba, Lampard and Essien will eat 80% of the assists and goals he scores week in week out.
Stick him in Man Utd and he will pale in comparison to Rooney's gut busting performance week in week out.
If you put Abou Diaby in Enyimba of Aba. . . .He will score 40 goals and 58 assists in Naija Premier League.

Fabregas' case is the one of a local champion amongst retards or a small fish in a tiny pond.

1. Francesco Totti is crap and is not one the best players in the world cos Roma haven't won ish in years. Juan Riquelme too was crap cos the yellow submarine didn't win la liga
2. Any body who does not know who Johan Cryuff is, captain of the dutch 70s total experience is not even worthy enough to have a username on NL. He is the kind of name every footie fan should know without reporting to google.
3. There is no English National team player that could start in the Spanish team save for Ashley Cole.

Almost true. . . Terry or a fit Ferdinand would start in front of Puyol easily. . .

Lennon and Rooney would also be close but maybe just miss out.

Some people are stupid sha. . . .
So because i asked DK about Cryuff's credibility, a retard thinks i dunno Cryuff. . . .

(2.) They might not even make the squad. . . . I dont see them getting ahead of Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and Alonso. . . . perhaps a fit Owen Hargreaves might make the DM position, but all the attacking slots are full!

I am still trying hard to see the relevance of this thread.

Cesc has many qualities but he is not a multi-positional player.
Lampard/Gerrard can be shoved here n there when the going gets tough, i doubt Cesc can play as a winger or a striker or a defender.
So one of Gerrard or Lampard might get into the team before Cesc.

Gerrard and Lampard will walk into that squad.
With the extra qualities and the amount of ammo in their arsenal, they will edge out Alonso, Fabregas and Senna.
Gerrard woulda been preferred to Cesc in the absence of David Villa in Euro 2008. . . .True or False?

How multi-positional is Platini,Maradona,Scholes, et al How effective has your multi-dimensional Lampard be in the diamond And do you really mean as multi-positional as Cesc playing central back cos here we are talking about the creativity of a player and you are flirting with his inability to do doggy style in bed.
Plus Spain has enough players with panache and flair than to employ jack of trades like Gerrard and Lampard abeg.A player who is extremely good at what he does best is it for me anyday,not indisciplined positional whores like Gerrard.

I am putting you in for the next show in Apollo,cos there is a reason a certain Liverpool team has been rudderless since the departure of Alonso inspite of the fact that Gerrard is still there.

You must have forgotten when Arsene used to play something similar to the diamond 2 or 3 seasons back when Cesc played left wing, right wing etc. . . . all Arsenal midfielders have played, and are capable of playing on the wing. . . . Cesc, Diaby, Rosicky etc have all played there at one time or the other. . .

Fabregas this season goes into the same echelon as Ronaldo, Henry and Cantona. . . . they are the only 4 players in that class in the last 20 years. . . . players who dictate games single-handedly.


Lampard belongs on the rung below with Gerrard, Drogba, Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Vieira, Pires etc.

Ibime has taken it too far this time.

While I dont do debates of who is better, mentioning Fab and Ronaldo in the same breath is ridiculous

Using nateevs' daft logic, we cant compare Lampard to Fabregas cos he's achieved more. . . I'm laughing with autotune.
What exactly has Lampard achieved in his carreer?
Lampard is about a decade older than Fabregas and its an absolute disgrace their achievements are even comparable.

Anyway you are right, the creator of this thread should be beaten to death for comparing Lampard's creativity to Cesc's.

Jack Wilshere @ 17 is 11 times more creative than Lampard. . . Frank should bury his fat head in shame

Many English Players are like their American cousins; Landon Donovan, Coby Jones, Brian McBride etc. They are athletic, can play to instruction, shoot, pass straight, mark and do the other basics more efficiently than anyone else. But Like the food in a homeless shelter they will satisfy your belly but leave your taste buds hungry.
So can one be said to be satisfied just cos his stomach is filled with flavourless rice ?

I am not talking about Cesc playing centre back or what not. . . . .All i am saying is if Gerrard was a Spaniard, he will get into the national team ahead of Cesc. Gerrard woulda gotten there before the full maturity of Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas cos Gerrard is older than them.
How are we even sure Cesc is not better than Xavi/Iniesta for Spain? We would never know because Xavi/Iniesta have history behind them to make them starters.

Plus Spain has enough players with panache and flair than to employ jack of trades like Gerrard and Lampard abeg.A player who is extremely good at what he does best is it for me anyday,not indisciplined positional whores like Gerrard.

They look very ordinary in the absence of Iniesta in the Confederation Cup.
Spain don't have enough players with panache. . . . . .Y'all are taking this Spain thingy too far.

I am putting you in for the next show in Apollo,cos there is a reason a certain Liverpool team has been rudderless since the departure of Alonso inspite of the fact that Gerrard is still there.

That is because Liverpool have so many mediocre players in their ranks.
Gerrard alone cannot pull the strings in the company of mediocre players like Kuyt, Aquilani, Riera and other chumps.

You and the thread creator are the daft ones!
Lampard has never been creative. . He's never been a tricky, dribbling player and can barely move past two players in a row . . . Is that supposed to be some news flash ? . . It's been as clear as day since he was at Westham. . .

So I ask what then is the thread supposed to achieve. . ? . . It's a meaningless thread and all those that are contributing to fuel it's thriving.


And another daft one. . What has Lampard achieved in his career. .?

I am not going to mention any of the trophies he's won. . At the heights of Lampard's career, he was third best player in the world even without being creative. . and daft ritchboy thinks being 3rd best player in the world is disgraceful. . Iniesta is the 4th best player in the world, he must be disgraceful as well.

And I am not even a Lampard fan.


In case you didn't know. . . Wilshere is probably 11 times more creative than Arsenal legends Ian Wright and Tony Adams. . maybe they should hang their heads in shame as well. .

St.upid thread. . St.upid ideology and St.upid posts! (especially Ritchboy's)

Nateevs
Ian Wright & Tony Adams were not central/attacking midfielders, DAFT MAN!!
Theres a BIG difference between being VOTED the 3rd best player in a SEASON and actually being the 3rd best player in the world. Are you telling me Cannavaro was once the best player in the world? Anyone who believes Lampard was ever the third best player in the world should be quarantined on the moon.

Fabregas>>>>>Lampard

if u cant accept it, u can shave your pubic hair with a hot needle in a very dark room

I'm a big Lampard Fan

My best choice Is Lampard but i cant say whos better.

But please, Most Spanish Midfielder's are enormously Creative , You cant compare Marcus Senna to Makelele can you?

oh i see. . . Odonkor, frimpong, asamoah, boateng, podolski, miroslav, gomez, & dayokanu are now german names abi!?

Do they have to be German names before they are German citizens? Is Barack Obama an American name? Is philips Idowu an English name, is Fabrice Muamba an English name?

If you gave birth to a child in England and you name him Nduka Adelaja does that mean he is not an English citizen?

Hey Daftie! . .
I know I need to explain it to you further.
Comparing Wilshere with the attackers is just as daft as comparing Fabregas with Lampard.

I said from the outset that Lamps has never been a creative midfielder. Not at Westham or thereafter.
He's never taken accolades from being creative. . and the hallmark of his career was never built on creativity. .

Lamps scores goals - the primary purpose of his midfield play not creating.

So I ask again what then is the point asking if Fab is more creative than Lamps? It is daft! . . Just like you fuelling it!



2ndly. .

Whether voted or not, Lamps was adjudged 3rd best player.  I don't care if you think otherwise. Some people will tell you Ronaldo is the best player but Messi was voted best . . so he is the best. Can you please explain the "Big Difference". , 

The trophy is in Lampard's home and you can't take it away. . whether you accept it or not and he did not get there by being ordinary, he got there by virtue of what he's done on the pitch. . . if you think that's a "disgrace" like you call it. . Then you need help.

Brilliant.

When Fab gets to the level of being listed when FIFA is crowning the best of the best,
then there can be a discussion.

Until then, we should just enjoy his footie

Comparing Wilshere with the attackers is just as daft as comparing Fabregas with Lampard.

Fabregas and Lampard play similar roles so its not quite as daft as you making this statement.

if 101 cannibals vote Jonathan Spector to be the best a month later, we also conclude "he is the best". . .

Lampard is about a decade older than Fabregas and "its an absolute disgrace their achievements are even comparable".

and to a 5 star mo.ron like nateevs, this translates to 'Lampard coming third in the WFOTY award is a disgrace'? your understanding of written English is atrocious at best. i emboldened the part which is a disgrace since u have the IQ of a previously owned screw driver and cant figure it out yourself.

This is the problem arguing with you. Your memory disappears quicker than you blink your eye.
I wasn't comparing Wilshere and Wrighty. . I gave an illustration that making a comparison of a creative midfielder with a non-creative midfielder is as ridiculous as comparing Wilshere with Wrighty.
And you came back to say "It's not quite as daft as you are making it". . Do you really understand what you are arguing about?

u are a sodding idio.t!!! where in that comment did i "fuel" comparing Lampard's creativity to Cesc's? i actually did the opposite by saying the creator should be beaten to death for creating the thread and that is the quote u decide to pick?? your idio.cy is legendary! Cheesy

You never said disregard it but WTF do you mean by "the award is nothing more than the opinion of the majority of A GROUP OF PEOPLE". . if it should be regarded.

I bloody do not care if they got it wrong with Cannavaro, this people voted Weah, Figo, Romario, Baggio, Ronaldo, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Messi. and you are here ranting about one event . . Why don't you name another one in the past they got wrong . . You can't treat the "GROUP OF PEOPLE" with ignominy because of one single event. .

And my friend, based on past events - the number of world No1s they got right - Yes Lampard at the time was the 2nd best player in the world. Simple.

Correction. . Lamps was second best . . . Not third. Eto'o was 3rd.

and to a 5 star mo.ron like nateevs, this translates to 'Lampard coming third in the WFOTY award is a disgrace'? your understanding of written English is atrocious at best. i emboldened the part which is a disgrace since u have the IQ of a previously owned screw driver and cant figure it out yourself.

You said "Lamps is a decade older than Fab and the fact that their achievements are comparable is a disgrace". .
Let's break this down.

* Ballon d'Or (European Footballer of the Year): Silver Award 2005
* FWA Player of the Year: 2005
* UEFA Club Midfielder of the Year: 2007-08

Scored 178 goals in entire club career.

These in summary are Lamps achievements over the past decade.



Now let's look back at what you said. . . "Lamps is a decade older than Fab and the fact that their achievements are comparable is a disgrace"

Are these achievements really comparable with Fab's? . . So if Lamps won 2nd best player and you think that is comparable with Fab's "won nothing yet awards" . . What exactly are you calling the disgrace?

Correction. . . . Lampard came second in both the WPOTY and Ballon D'or awards, not third . . . y'all get your facts right. . .

Am a big fan of Lamps, but at this moment Cesc is on a level that Lampard has never reached in his whole career

Just to chip in a bit, about Cesc not being multidimensional. In arguably his best match to date for Spain, cesc played as a second striker and completely took Russia apart, sending them to the Euro finals.

The thread said creative, Cesc takes it.
