He is definately Barca's signing of the season. Ibra second.

Maxwell just seems like he's been here for ages. Knows how we play and just does it. I don't thnk it's because he played for Ajax, although that experience has helped him integrate into the starting line up. I think it's due to him having a good footballing brain and also because he's comfortable on the ball and doesn't mind recieving it in tight situations.

Is he? In Inter seemed he can't defende.

Eh?

He will have surely helped settle Ibra in Barcelona but we needed a LB when Sylvinho went. Filipe's fee was too high and Maxwell has EVERYTHING to succeed in this Barcelona team without a heavy price tag. And he is proving it right now.

lol gneg... that was my wishful thinking which incidentally turned out true :D

He isn't the best defender but he knows the basics and can defend with his head more than his body, if you get me..

Against the quick wingers he can lose to pace (Walcott for eg) but he can defend against players who try and beat him through skill and dribbling.

Im judging him by this year, i never saw him at Inter..

It's an object of priorities, I guess.

In Italy you can't survive if you can't defend, even if you're great at going forward.

In Spain you could do well if you have good offensive skills, even if you're not the best defender.

Of course, I'm not trying to say that it's absolutely useless to have the ability to defend in La Liga, but people appreciate your joga bonito. Different people are focusing on different things.

I agree at all. For this the Serie A is the most difficult championship in the world, I think. Don't you?

well, for you Ronaldo seems better than MEssi!!
These are opinions ;)

Nice run and assist for the goal but for all the shit that Dani got Maxi deserve some tough love aswell. 3 goals, 3 crosses, all from his side. We really shouldnt have gambled with 2 attacking fullback so its more pep's fault tbh.

He can't handle Eto'o. As much I appreciate his performances for us, but at Camp Nou we shall use Abidal instead him just to secure that we will be defending 100%

Maxwell can be a nice defender! He's not higher,but he have a speed,that it's a very + for one football player.

Nice assist, but seeing him constantly changing his position from LB to LW shows us how thin our bench really is.

Played quite defensive vs. Xerez. Hope he recovers fast for Inter as others first team players that had to play today

Thats true for today as well ... solely for that selfish action that could have cost us the championship.
