Petit? Apt? Built? What?

I know english isn't your strong point, and I do like the spidey, but sometimes what you post is a bit, well, QUACKQUACKQUACKQUACK

Not to kick you while you're down Spider but is there another Viera other than the Arsenal one? If not then you're kidding - Patrick was a brute.

Weight 13st 0lbs)...

well then I conceed I'm rubbish at judging a players build, vieira always looked tall but slender to me. I look at essien, HE is a brute vieira and petit look skinny in comparison. okay what about carrick, parker, fletcher...

 

[spider-Neil]

okay I got the build of some holding midfielders wrong, the bottom line is you don't need to have a hulking physique to succeed as a holding midfielder which is the general point I was trying to make.

 

[keniget]

Why didn't you just use Masher as an example then?

does masher slender build?

 

[keniget]

Would you say he has a hulking physique?

I know.

What the fucking cunt are you on about Spidey?

Don't look for any kind of consistency and Logic. A few posts ago Emanuel Petit was an 'aptly named' skinny midget.

 

[Oncy]

Haha poor the Spide.

 

[rage]

look even if he is a bit slim we should just make sure he gets buddied up with the other italian with the healthy appetite. he'll be viera style slim before you know it.

i reckon spidey got his baseline from going out with fatties in his youth who'd tell him they were a size 8 rather than 18.

 

[spider-Neil]

I think you lot are been fuckers for no reason I said what my general point was; you don't need a hulking physique to be a holding midfielder. you don't agree with this, fine, then fucking say why I'm wrong instead of attacking the poor examples I've used. FUCKS SAKES!!!

bullshit I picked out the examples of petit and vieira who to me look slender there are a fucking shit load of examples I could of used so instead of sticking to the fucking issue of the original point people went after the bad examples used (2 out of the 5 examples I posted). Thread well and truly fucked up rather than having an interesting debate. Bravo!

I just want people to stick to the original issue and say why I'm wrong if they think I'm wrong instead of going after petit and vieira, bad examples to which I've already have admitted were wrong. Much more fun to ridicule than debate

[/quote]Dude! You started by saying Aquilani ISNT a holding midfielder and then argue that people shouldnt worry about him because theres been plenty of other small-ish holding midfielders (which of course he isnt) then you ignore obvious choice of Mascherano and skip through to the giant Vieira and the equally brutish Petit who ironically is or isnt aptly named. You may as well have said dont worry about Aquilani because Schmeical was a midget and he did ok.
Youre being ridiculed because youre being ridiculous.
Chalk it up and move on kid.

 

[spider-Neil]

'you don't need a hulking physique to be an effective holding midfielder'

Is this statement wrong?

Stop fucking going on about the examples of vieira and petit, they were bad examples but they aren't the only two holding midfielders ever to play the fucking game of football.

Chill Neil, chill.

I think your comment re Aqua being okay as he is an attacking mf rather than a DM probably overlooks the fact that defensive midfielders do come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Admittedly the Roy Keanes and Lee Carsleys of this world spring to mind, but you get the Maschers, Vieiras and Toure's and Gattusos - and i cant really see a huge amount of consistency in their physicality.

However, I think youre right in that whatever the cause of Aquilanis injury issues, it is less likely that he will get bashed quite as often playing a little further up the pitch
