I would have to say Chelsea and Milan.. But actually I dont know other team backups.. Here's what I'd call ''Milan B''

Abbiati - Italy's 3rd keeper

Pancaro - Sven Goran's first choice left back when at Lazio
Laursen - Danish starting International
Costacurta - Player with a lot of experience, can play at right, left and centre back
Simic - Croat who was named in WC98's dream team for his excellent work as a centre back

Ambrosini - Italian international, same mould as Keane (Tough, always heated player)
Serginho - A player who is altho 32, has pace like a bullet!
Brocchi - Utility player, useful.. But more of just an average member
Rivaldo - Need I describe him?

Tomasson - Got 4 goals in the WC in Japan/Korea with Denmark, already has one for this season
Boriello - Got Italy's (u-21) last goal in the beating of Wales (u-21).. The 8th goal of the match aight?

Barthez - French International

P. Neville - England International
Wes Brown - Soon to be established England International
O'Shea - Irish International

David Bellion - One Prem League goal for Sunderland
Nicky Butt - Regular England International who played a part in beating Turkey at Stadia of Light
Eric Djemba - Cameroonian International who performed well
Cristiano Ronaldo - Prodigy and soon-to-be Portuguese International
Darren Fletcher - Scottish International who has one cap and tipped to be the next "Becks"

Diego Forlan - Country goalscoring striker who scores crucial goals....

Shev, Cudicini is Italy's 3rd choice keeper...

chelsea has no doubt the best back-up but that will split by the january transfer market when roman becomes a villain from a hero.

anyone wanna tell me when we started talking about the reserve league/team?
arsenal's backup midfielders are like who, edu, gilberto (albeit getting a few starts these days)..
they don't play in the reserves league do they?

here's chelsea..

GK : neil sullivan / macho / ambrosio / whatever...

RB : Glen Johnson
CB : Gallas
CB : Robert Huth
LB : Babayaro

RM : Gronkjaer
CM : Petit
CM : Geremi
LM : Joe Cole

CF : Hasselbaink
CF : Gudjohnsen

Hmm Arsenal dont have the greatest back up players but when Vieira or Campbell are out we seem to lift and make up for them

I'd say Chelsea, there backups finished 4th last season.

Chelseas material is definetely the widest in the premiership.. :rolleyes:

definitely chelsea.

Neville, O'Shea and Ronaldo backups? :|

definately Milan or Chelsea... wouldn't mind seeing a Milan Reserves vs Chelsea Reserves match :crazyboy:

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Bayern Munchen. They could easily play two teams every week in the Bundesliga, and their second team would beat half of their opponents.

i still think Chelsea and AC Milan have the best ups not Bayern Munich.

Yea, Bayern have a strong squad

But it'd have to be Chelski.

It has to be Chelsea

Milan is close but the midfield is not as strong as Chelseas IMO and the forwards are no where near as good.

Yeah, Chelsea . . they've got one of the best advantages. Almost like having two seperate teams. :o

Milan ?! hah

Abbiati - good

Pancaro - decent
Laursen - decent
Costacurta - good
Simic - average

Ambrosini -crap
Serginho - good
Brocchi - crap
Rivaldo - dead

Tomasson - terrible
Boriello - average.


^^^ thats a decent team but not the 'greatest' backup team. definitely not.


Chelsea definitely have a very good backup team... and year Bayern too.


Juve's isnt shabby either.

A. Chimenti - decent

Birindelli - hell he would be a first team player in most teams
Iuliano - Good (Milan want him)
Ferrara - Legend (lost a bit of pace, but is still solid and reliable)
Fresi - average (doesn't get enough time to prove himself)
Pessotto - Great !
Tudor - if he wasn't injured so often he would be one of the greatest

Davids - No comments
Maresca - excellent
Olivera - one of the most promising youngsters
Conte - another legend

Miccoli - Class

Zalayeta - very useful player. Barca would know :p
Di Vaio - great !



... thats wayyyyy better than Milan's backups.

chelsea by far if u ask me

Chelsea, but the players will get unhappy cause they don't play (enough). I can't see Geremi all the season on the bench without complaining

Geremi was banned PSV, thats why he hasn't played last few games.

Chelsea has by far the most depth.. Basically any player can be replaced by one that is just as good...

yea ranieri wasn't joking when he said he wanted 2 at each position.

yeah, chelsea has the depth, especially up front.. Mutu and Crespo can be easily replaced with Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink and vice-versa etc.. and then in midfield u have endless possibilities with several quality midfielders.. Lampard, Veron, Geremi, Duff, petit, Gronkjaer the list goes on and on..

chelsea

got to be chelski, although Juve and Milan, got good back-up as well.

I think Chelsea have a major advantage not just the obvious, when it comes to injuries but there players can avoid being run-down like Arsenal last year.

could someone show us Real's? And no, Cudicini is not Italy's third, its Abbiati but I have to agree that Cudicini is a good keeper too.. But with Buffon at the helm.. Italy's goalkeeper is gonna be the same for the next 10 years at least..

oh, I didn't know that. But still I don't think all their midfielders will be happy all the season

huh you forgot Toldo. :rolleyes:

Toldo? I was talking about the first and third gk's..

Toldo is 2nd choice and would only fill Buffon if he aint fit.. But it aint often Buffon gets injured..

AC Milan.... they gots prolly the best back up
peace
