sorry man but how on earth did marinelli ever had to cope with the new Maradona label(which by the way is more freely given away by european media than by ours)???i don't think there was any coach that actually rated him bar the naive boro youth managers...Still, thanks for the money

@at the rest of you

Aimar was huge for Benitez's Valencia. Voted most influential player for the team in the season triumphs by the fans back then
His only problem was that his physique which never allowed him to fully develop as a player. Even with the games that his body let him play he still oozed class in every ball he touched. He(or she) who says otherwise has never actually seen him play for more than two games.

I seriously doubt anyone every rated Palermo the next Maradona, the guy could loose the ball between his legs(I think it has happened before) all by himself, yet he has scored so many goals it's unbelievable...not to mention to one of your beloved keepers Casillas

Scored over a million goals for Boca, came to Europe and 'pulled a Forlan'

I couldn't even get him to score on Championship Manager.

I always found these overrated Argies were pretty useful in Championship Manager. Part of the reason they were overrated was because they were so good on games like these. Remember Cavenaghi? he used to get me 30+ goals a season yet all see that he is just an average striker now.

Cavenaghi is not an average striker, he's actually quite good. He has done very well since the winter break. He needed a while to settle down. Lots of clubs are after him btw.

I think Cavenaghi is under-rated. This year he has scored 12 goals in 18 games, and 5 goals in 7 seven games in the UEFA cup. What do you think of him Barrilete?

I know it is very early in his career and that he made a huge mistake in joining Real too soon.. but to be honest he seems like a forward without killer instincts. It doesn't help that he is played like a winger, but he just doesn't seem to be a very good finisher...

Oleguerisntthatbad wrote:And what about Gago.. also very young.. but to be honest he isn't good enough to run Real's midfield. Banega is making much more of an impact.

Again, I know it is very early, but considering the hype and how he was the new Redondo bla bla bla...

If a player can't settle in 18 months then it is time to move him on. He is just blocking your canteranos like De la Red..
