Not even close tbfI'd say Cafu-Lucio-Roque Junior-Roberto Carlos have a say in this.

Roque Junior was not that special tbh and Lucio was more of a brute force type than a skillful type. I remember Mourinho specifically instructed Lucio not to venture passed the halfway line because he would fall straight into Van Gaal's trap since he wasn't that good with the ball under pressure.
While Pavard - de Vrij - Bastoni all have the ball control, composure, passing range, vision that can rival midfielders.
tbh though, throwing too much money at a problem can cause its own problems. Look at how long it took City to settle down into any degree of quality, for example. We're working well on a shoe string budget. We could definitely increase 'a bit', but a lot of money means we'd stop signing many of the sorts of players that has really worked out well for us like Mkhi, Acerbi, Darmian, etc going forwards.Imagine we had an owner that could back up this coach with some serious reinforcements.

more money wouldn’t make us be stupid with it. Marotta isn’t an idiot, it would give us more resources to buy the Pavards and Frattesi’s instead of the Klassens and Sanchez.tbh though, throwing too much money at a problem can cause its own problems.

I think the discussion here is about 3-men defences mateHow about Lizarazu-Blanc-Desailly-Thuram then.
Sneijder alone was more creative than the trio of our current midfielders. That long through ball Hakan made to Dimarco - Wesley used to do that every week.My feeling as well. I think this team creates more, and I like some current players better than a few guys from that generation.
The Treble team showed up when it was real, though, like proper champions. These guys haven't been tested yet in that way. Mixed feelings here. I see a lot of potential though. Pavard, Basto, Barella, Lautaro, all world or continental champions at some point, that's huge imo
There are key differences. This side plays better, but 09-10 team was filled with MEN, who knew this could and probably would be their last chance to do something special together.Why I am more confident in this team than Inter 2009-10?
I don't think so cause BrehmeI think the discussion here is about 3-men defences mate
Nope, the original poster said "back line", or am I mistaking the meaning of backline ? Since english isn't my native language that is a posibility.I think the discussion here is about 3-men defences mate
Motta was great for us. He was really underrated. He swallowed Barca fantasy midfield in first game.You are right. But at the same time, Barella/Hakan/Mikhi any of those 3 is more creative than our second most creative player of 2010. Let's say, Stankovic. We might have a better team in terms of balance right now, but we lack 2 world class players like Maicon and Sneijder concretly.
