Cannavaro was quality despite his decline at real madrid but maldini was something else. Pedro and llorente can't be compared but pedro is such a quality player, would love him at chelsea, good finisher, good pace, good end product and good on both feet. Plus having the 2nd string spain team would be so cool as we'd wipe the floor of every club besides the teams with the spain first team(barcadrid).
Mikel, parker is a work horse and nothing else, people get hype over him making a couple of crunching tackles, but he doesn't offer much in attack(maybe for west ham but they were terrible that season) mikel has his faults in having a retard brain sometimes but besides that he's quality in defending and ball distribution.
Diaby or essien? (as of now)
