i could say the same for anyone who picks Maldini must be talking from the heart and not from the head.Il Moreista said:
The only,and I repeat the only thing Cole has over Maldini and will ever have is speed.And thats not the only thing required by a left back.

Cole's improved a lot over the last one and a half season. To me he curently defines the role of wing backs. He's like a young Maldini. The only diference between them is Maldini has better game-reading defensively, composure and are better in his tackles. Cole is quicker, faster reflexes/recovery, and closes up on the plyer he's defending.
Better left-back of curent time (as in the last few months), Cole by a whisker. Better defender of current time (as in the last few months), Maldini.

of course he is a legend, but this is no reason to make him out better than he is at this current time, do you also think he is better than Zambrotta ?Il Moreista said:
Hmmm in one word 'NO' but he is still better than ashely cole who is known for making bad mistakes as well as playing well.... sorry the english press seem to like bridge more...so do i....and bridge aint world class and nor is cole...simple as..... If arsenal get real and cole can stop zidane (who starts left side for real b4 people say otherwise) then we can talk...unitl then....never lol

Like his previous 20, Maldini has just had a sensational season last year, better than Zambrotta. Comparing Cole to Maldini is a bit like comparing Britney Spears to Ella Fitzgerald. Till Maldini plays he will be considered a legend; Just like Zidane, even if he wasn't terrific last tuesday, you can't even dare compare him with a simply good player that performed well the same day. Comparing Maldini to Cole for me is insulting, regardless of what you me or anybody judge both players. Till Maradona, Van Basten, Pele, Bobby Charlton or any other legend in the history of the game set foot on a football field, nobody dared comparing then to any Mr. New. The day Maldini will feel he is no longer able to play up to his standards, he will be the first one to know that the day of his active football playing days are over. We are "discussing" a legend of Football here (7 Serie A titles and 4 CL), not some 2 year good seasons player :stuckup:
have seen this kid and thought him to be good, but better than Maldini?
He certainly isnt a better defender but i will have to watch alot more of him to decide if he is a better LB for myself.

Moreista, you seem to have a problem with your left and rights, Cole and Zidane would only be on the same flank if they played for the same team.
as it happens Zidane did venture on to Cole's flank a few times against England and got seen off easily by Ash as Pires had been seen off before him.

Diavolo, that is rot, of course you can compare them when playing in the same position, it's not insulting to Maldini at all, his legendary status is guaranteed, nothing can change that, you make it sound like blasphemy
Eh, the Rolling Stones were a great band once upon a time, they're not better than Radiohead on recent output.
I'll leave it at that analogy
