    He's team mate Steven Davis.

    He should be cherished through out Europe and threads started about him once an hour.

    Moritz Volz.

    Perennially overlooked by the German coaches even though he impresses for Fulham.

    Eugenio Corini,

    Incredible technique, compensates for his lack of pace with incredible positional sense.

    A genuine student of the game, he is tactically intelligent, always nows when to commit a foul and how it will benefit the team.

    Add all this to a phenomenal range of passing, vision, penalty, setpiece and freekick expert, and perfect consistency.

    Astonishing that he hasn't been capped for Italy, but understandable given the nature of previosu Azzurri set-ups and coaches.

    He has matured with age, the 'original' Pirlo Wink

    It doesnt help that Fulham concede loads though!

    Nope. Not his fault, most of the time, though. And it doesn't help that Fulham are a minor club either. In the past, Klinsmann and Löw only went to see him when Fulham were playing Arsenal or Chelsea, which naturally didn't do him any favours.

    its the same with Our players...because we play so attacking we concede a lot which doesnt help the case for Anton Ferdinand and Paul Konchesky..

    Perhaps Volz should move....which position is he...LB?

    It's also a matter of coverage. I remember the home match against Arsenal last season when he was constantly left alone with Henry (who had a brilliant day), Ljungberg and Flamini. No wonder he was made look bad.

    No, it's actually RB. Though at the moment he's playing right mid.

    Fuham play Charlton on Tv tomorrow night....Its a great chance for Fulham to play well and not concede...Perhaps Joachim Low will be watching Volz ok

    If Volz can't handle the predictable henry, he can't be much use.
