ED001,
What is your opinion on Dorgu from Lecce?
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I have not seen a lot of him, but he looks very good going forward. Not really seen him under pressure defensively.}

Cheers ED001.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome, sorry it is not much but Lecce are not exactly top of the watch list!}

Ed001,
Haha, that's why I thought I'd ask you. I don't get much chance to watch a lot of football these days.
I used love Football Italia back in the 90s.
{Ed001's Note - that was brilliant. I was in love with watching Baresi and James Richardson was a great presenter.}

Ed001,
Then Maldini came along. What a defender he was.
{Ed001's Note - he was amazing, I do love to watch a player like him, one who actually knows defensive positioning and how to defend. In England, people tend to like poor quality defenders like Sol Campbell, because they make last ditch tackles. But that is because they are not good enough defensively to see off an attack by simply putting themselves in the right position to deal with the danger. Instead the like of Campbell have to chase back and throw in a last-ditch tackle, which looks great and excites the crowd but is actually poor play.}

Exactly Ed Binsaka is another one, people on here kept saying he was good because the last ditch tackles, but mostly all caused by poor positioning.
{Ed001's Note - who or what is binsaka?}

Ed001,
I'm not sure there will ever be another lb like him again. He certainly set the bar very high.
{Ed001's Note - he was truly a great player. Every young player should be made to watch videos of him to learn about positional sense.}

Hopefully Luke Shaw is reading these posts.
{Ed001's Note - can he read?}
