Mario Yepes

After watching T. Silva as CDM, and Mario Yepes play at CB, I can't help but ask 2 questions:

1. How many players can be equally effective or even more effective in different positions?

2. How many career "average" players could have been excellent players if they played on a BIG team?

Yepes has really impressed me this year. He has not played much, and granted, not against Great competition, but I'm not hesitant in saying his performances have shown he could be considered one of the best Serie A defenders (5-8)...He's been that good. If there are 20 Serie A teams, then there are 40 starting CB's. I'd like for someone to offer their rankings of Serie A CB's, especially as we're looking for a future start to replace Milan Legend Alessandro Nesta.

Anyways, Just want to create this thread to discuss Yepes, who could prove to be a crucial player for us this year in our race to the Scudetto. He's done very good stepping in for Nesta or T. Silva...

Forza Milan
