provided that Emerson doesn't have some chronic injury, I'd take him over Makelele anyday, anyplace.
Emerson is 3 years younger, knows serie A inside out (especially on the inside thanks to Moggi
), has better ball distribution, as tough defensively as the Frenchman, and unlike the franchman is a danger in the air and possesses a powerful shot (has scored quite a few goals that way for Juve and Roma).
take that, mrki
