I think that you got your heart broken by our last African ball-winner and you're scared to love again, that's what I think.

 

Open your heart fivetimes.

 

I would have given you all of my heart

But theres someone whos torn it apart

And hes taken just all that I had

But if you want Ill try to love again

No, I stand by it. I think he's the superior player, whatever about his moral fibre. He's still a kid too and will get better and better, injuries permitting.

 

Superior in what sense?

 

Passing? Vision? Tackling? Reading the Game? Positional Awareness?

It's a tough one this. Maybe you would say Fabregas because he is about 4 or 5 years younger than Alonso i think. Fabregas is a very good player yet he cannot score goals, but that may change as he gets older. Alonso is far superior in terms of ability with the ball but ahhhhh i will have to say Fabregas. He is only going to get better and he is very very consistent in his performances.

Class.

 

When it comes to judging players I'm cursed

When it comes to paying well he's the worst

That's how I know...

 

McKay's cut was the deepest

Obviously not tackling, but passing, vision and reading the game.

 

His mobility and youth are the deciding factors for me.

 

He's certainly more mobile, but i can't agree with the rest.

 

It must be fantastic having all that movement infront of you, with the likes Henrys' movement etc, making all your simple passes look fantastic.

Well the lack of movement is Rafa's fault as much as anybody's. Hopefuly Xabi will finally have some of that in front of him after the next transfer window.

 

With regard to technique etc, I don't think there's much between them, but I think Xabi lacks the pace to be truly world class.

My thoughts exactly. I've lost count of the number of times Xabi has been booked for cynical trips on players that he simply cannot catch.

El Rojo, LFCfanbymistake √, Molby's_Belly, nickcross, paisley1977, Zupee

 

Hang your head in shame!

 

Sorry. maybe it should have said 'who do you support' then i would have joined the rest. Fabregas is fucking brilliant. I love xabi to bits and hate the little arsenal shit who kicks out when things arent going his way. But for FOOTBALLing reasons i'd go for fabregas. Its a tight call.

Fabregas isn't as good as people make out. He's a good player, but nothing more IMO.

 

Who has a better long pass/vision? Alonso. Who has a better shot? Alonso. Who's the better tackler? Alonso.

 

I'm not saying Alonso shits all over him, but as a player he's more complete.

 

Arsenal's formation allows Fabregas to just stroll around doing what he wants, I think he'd struggle in our team though myself.

One day you'll say something stupid, but until then you're relentlessly right as always.

So unlike SD to be negative about our team.

I'm being negative about our team just because I rate another player in the league more highly than one of ours? O_o

 

Nah, I'm not having that. I rate Xabi very highly and I don't want him to go. But you can bet your bottom dollar Rafa won't be blind to his weaknesses either.
