do you want to know whether he's slow, cause if you have to ask a question like that, your expertise doesn't seem to be very trustworthyI love Chivu and have expressed it many times within A-M. But I thought that I remembered from last summer that you (Leonardo) felt he was a step slow when at Ajax. Am I misremembering?

Quality player.
As ever, I like Chivu but fail to see the big fuss.
Chivu would always top the list of central defenders for me. He would fit Arsenal's style perfectly and IMHO is just as good or better than Cole at LB. Therefore, I would buy him with the money that we get for Cole. Then I would split LB between Clichy and Chivu and split CB between Senderos and Chivu.
What is the big fuss about Chivu? He has the positional awareness of a great central defender. He has the technical skills of a top playmaker. He has the leadership of a top club/country captain. He has the shooting abilities of a top fee kick specialist. He has the versatility to play multiple positions.

I was responding to Leonardo who expressed last year that Chivu was too slow when at Ajax a few years ago. Yet in his post above he expressed that Chivu would be great for us. I wanted to confirm this, as I might not have remembered his old Chivu posts correctly.kompany said:do you want to know whether he's slow, cause if you have to ask a question like that, your expertise doesn't seem to be very trustworthyI love Chivu and have expressed it many times within A-M.
