Good point. As for those who say that Alex and Santacroce are three times as good as Agger, and that they can't see the difference between Agger and Senderos - this smiley says it all:

Agger links up attack better than Santacroce (who doesn't t all) and Alex (who isn't bad either). Let Kaladze go and get Santacroce or Agger or even Alex.

I say Alex and Santacroce are 3 times players Agger is. But I say Agger is a better player then Senderos. I dont know for who your post is...

I cant find anything on youtube showing Agger's defending. All I can find is his shooting and how cute he is apparently.

This is the only video

I've seen Agger milion times, he is a good defender. But after Maldini and Nesta, Stam...he is not the man to continue down that class line.

Ceceves the difference between them is that sanderos is swiss and skin head. agger is danish and has hair on his head but they are both stupid. Benitez aint this stupid to let 3 times best Superleague talent of the year and best defender go like this. i am just curious agger is unsettled in liverpool and he has probelms with his coach, who is interested in his service. other than milan who is interested in 100000000 player?

about this smiley i hope it make you feel better!

Liverpool made it to the final of Champions League with Agger as the starter in Quarters and Semis (though he finally hit a wall in the final).

And the professor favalinho made a Central defender and he was awesome!

So? What's your point? Comparing Favallinho's some good matches in Serie A (as central defender) this season to Agger's performance till Champions League Final?

The fact is that Agger was awsome in 2006/07 just like Santracoce in this season and half of last season. Both of these players are still unexperienced with respect of their numbers in games. Which one is better? No one can answer as they are only having 1-season games (30-40 games) at most (too little data to answer the question).

Nah...thats Ok, Lebanese...it´s your opinion
I think Agger is a very good defender too, but not at the level of Alex...no way.

Btw, I´m really glad T. Silva will only play next season, and will have time to adapt itself...I will not support another brazilian CB bust(R. Junior) in a Milan forum

Hai Brasileiro, long time no see mate. I hope you are fine.

Ah tja, congrats for the Thiago Silva's signing (if it happens) as I know you are a big 'fan' of him.

I have asked here about Thiago Silva's olympic games. Do you know why Thiago Silva played very rarely (as starter) in the last Olympic games? Dunga prefered Alex Silva to Thiago Silva. Thiago only played one game in the group phase as starter when Brazil have already qualified. Did Thiago have injury before the Olympic games?

By the way, how is David Luiz now? I read your post on a certain thread (Kaka's thread) and you said that the best defender produced by Brazil after Alex is David Luiz. Did he have great games and developing in his current club (still Benfica?)?

The last question is (since you still have time ) : how is Apodi now? Is he having good season this year? Is he getting much better now (defensive and offensive abilities)?

I'd like to know the names of the defenders that can replace Maldini, Nesta and Stam... So far I haven't seen any.

We need to get the best we possibly can and stop comparing them to our legendary defenders who are the best ever, if not we will always continue to be disappointed.

That's very true. It's better to think how to make our defence great and stop comparing every single defender with our past great defenders (Nesta, Maldini, Stam etc.) as we won't find players like them in this time, it's only make us never satisfied with whoever Milan sign.

If other teams can make a good defence with 'normal' players, why can't we?

Santacroce is the first on that list, a player that can definetively become a world class defender like Cannavaro and Nesta. Mexes is a great defender also, that has brains and knows how to control the back 4. those are two players I can see as good enough to continue the big CB's line in Milan. Chiellini is of course untransferable but he is one of those big italian names for the future. Thiago Silva I dont know so well, I've seen him 5 times so far. But his phisical and technical possibilities are very good. A player of Lucio's calibre is always welcomed.

Skrtel, Agger, Senderos, Bonera, Kaladze etc. are not the players Milan needs for first pairing of CB's.

P.S.

I would like to add that I havent mention S.Ramos. I see him as a player that is absolutely not worth that money and in not capable of playing in serie a defensive wise. I hope you all saw that yesterday in El Classico when in first 45min ball was passed through his legs 3 times, he made one penalty that wasnt given in 2nd half and Puyol jumped over him for 1:0 goal of Eto'o. Its not just that game, I dont see him as a CB that can be relied upon. As an attacking right back yes, but not as an CB in serie a.
