Also, what is this ridiculous complaining about comparisons? I'm not comparing their quality ffs, I'm comparing their style of play. I'm comparing the experiences they've been through. The makelele one wasn't about Luongo being as good as makelele, it was about him going through a similar experience of being told he wasn't what they wanted him to be. Scholes was one I didn't even bring up because they are much more different players. I'd say Scholes' style is more similar to someone like Faurlin etc. But again, not talking about their bl oody talent, just the style. People get offended by the weirdest sh it, since when did comparing styles become such a taboo ffs.
Mate, Makelele played for some of the biggest clubs in the world, was strong as an Ox, completely dominated midfields at the highest level of the game and was told never to cross the half way line at Chelsea cos that wasn't his job. He is in no way anywhere near comparable to Luongo who tho I know you really rate has done nothing other that standard Championship performances and flirting with the edges of games at this level.
See, I don't think he's quite as good as you may think he is, but my biggest issue with him is that he's a guaranteed substitution. If anything goes wrong, we only have 2 other subs to make and that puts us at an immediate tactical disadvantage.
I was hoping that with match fitness he would be able to play 90mins at least once a week. I'm not sure that's possible now, but I live in hope. HNY anyway.

He needs to step up from here. Hopefully he will.
Mate, cmon, please read what I said regarding Makelele ffs...

This is the shi t that makes me seem like I'm talking down to people when I'm just having to re-explain what I just said. I'm not comparing their talent, or style or quality in this case, I'm comparing their experience
There are other cases where I will compare their style, but not their Quality. I don't compare quality because it's stupid to, we're in the championship ffs.
