I think he would be great as a creative midfielder on a 442 or a holding/deep lying playmaker in 4231. Not a bad pick.

I know some of you might have doubts about my left-side (although with Schmelzer only someone who didn't follow the Bundesliga could argue), but this catch as my 12th pick should seal it I know, I know, "he's old". **** that, he's Ryan ******* Giggs.

Here's a player that I could see had absolutely no ability whatsoever from the first time I saw him, and yet there he was again and again on big stages. People rag on Gomez for having no technical ability? He's ******* Maradona by comparison, and at least he scores! It took some people like 5 or 6 years to realize that he was god awful. I am not being harsh at all, Iaquinta has never even played a game I would rate a 4 or above anytime that I've seen him play, at any level for club or country. Dude is the absolute definition of a bum, and yet he just kept failing upwards because of incompetence from ****ty managers and front offices. Yes I consider Lippi incompetent.

hah "tipped" ... man, I agree that Iaquinta is absolute crap and didn't think anyone was crazy enough to pick him in 2011 -- which is why I had no hesitation mentioning his name (it's better for the competitiveness of the league anyway) ...ShiftyPowers;3104948 said:If I may, just because his name has now already been tipped...

needless to say (Champions League winner and) World Cup winner Lippi wasn't incompetent in 2006 ... you're just biased against, and thus pissed at, Italy winning the World Cup in your beloved Germany after beating them in an epic semifinal ...
Lippi took a bunch of forwards to avail himself of some real variety in attacking options ... Iaquinta went coz he offered more pace than other Italian forwards ... they each chipped in with a timely goal, so Lippi was totally vindicated ... Di Natale didn't show anything during that season that Lippi didn't already have a better version of at his disposal to take to Germany 2006 ...
for the record, Lippi did go senile for his second stint, but his first was fine ...
