I guess he is underrated

I suggest

Top Speed:82
Acceleration:87
Agility:86

I'm brazilian,and I watched him play every weekend in Brazilian League.He was the best CB of Brazilian League 2008.

Search Thiago Silva on youtube,and you will see he is underrated

[pedala robinho]

NO! Disagree with your suggestions. By the way, I'd say:

Top Speed: 82 - Seriously, one of the fastest CB's I saw.
Acceleration: 85 - His Acceleration is amazing.
Agility: 79 - Really Agile, the way he turns is really impressive for a CB.

[brazilianpesfan]

No problem, mate ...
TBH, the talent of this guy is sooooo high, I think his Agility could be even 80 ...

I remember him playing against LDU in the Libertadores final last year.He loses the ball in the midfield line to a forward of LDU,[now in Portuguese:D]e o atacante tava uns 10 metros na frente dele,e o Thiago deu pique tipo Usain Bolt e roubou a bola de volta pro flu .

O que tu acha disso:
TS:84
ACC:85
Agi:81
Response:83

Sorry for writing in Portuguese again,my english is very bad

[metronomo]

and also some people said he should be updated in these stats...
here are my suggestions...

Top Speed: 81 --->84
Acceleration: 83 --->85
Response: 84 --->85
Agility: 75 --->80

he is very agile, even though he's an CB.....amazing....

[brazilianpesfan]

i think his passing abilities should be improved.....most of the times he gave direct passes to his team mates....

Short Pass Accuracy: 72 ---> 74
Short Pass Speed: 70 ---> 75
Long Pass Acc.: 71 --->73
Long Pass Speed: 74 --->74

i agree,He has a pretty good pass skill

[pedala robinho]

Well, I really think he can deserves great numbers for Defence, even better than 85, but until he proves that in Serie A, I'd increase just by one point, so 84. Well, some suggestions:

Defence: 84 - Will be even better. But for now, I think it's enough.
Stamina: 84 - He runs all match, goes to forward, back to defence, and don't gets tired. Surely 84 at least.
Top Speed: 83~84 - He is simply the fastest CB on Brazillian League, without doubts.
Acceleration: 85 - Like said brazillianpesfan, he makes a lot of amazing and explosive runs.
Response: 85 - One of fastest CB to react that I've ever seen.
Agility: 81 - What can I say? He simply have an unbelieveable agility for a CB.
Short Pass Accuracy: 74 - Great short pass, really is difficult to see he missing balls with his passes.
Short Pass Speed: 75 - Fast short passes.
Long Pass Accuracy: 73 - He make some nice crosses from the defence.
Technique: 75 - One of the most technical CB that I've ever seen, without doubts.

So basically he is better than most Serie A CB's?

[pedala robinho]

Because of that I wrote "(...) but until he proves that in Serie A". That suggestions is just for when he proves that. And surelly, I can guarantee too you, basically he's better than the most Serie A CB's. Wait and see .

[Paddy]

He's a strong and elegant central defender. I'd compare him to his compatriot Lucio of Bayern Munich because of his ability to read the movements of opposition strikers and intercept dangerous balls, his previous experience in midfield and forward positions appear to have served him well – he's a master at anticipating the decision-making of attacking players.

Throw in excellent pace and composure on the ball and you've one hell of a defender. In Brazil, he played with an aura of calmness rare in young defensive players.

i agree with all these suggestions.....maybe in ts i will put 84...he is really fast for being a cb....

[master smurf]

I think he is proving out the assessment made by Pedala - he has been ever present in the pre-season matches and I think he'll form a great partnership with Nesta.

He is fast, he is strong enough to not be dominated by big CF's and he is usually very well positioned - when he isn't he slides in quickly due to his speed. The only problem I see is that he may have trouble with taller strikers in the air - he can jump and is good in the air but he is not that tall so he has to time his jump well to compete.

Milan got this signing right.

[metronomo]

he has been playing very well in the last friendlies, against chelsea he was one of the best from milan, only behind nesta that was better.....

he is very fast for being a defender

even though he isnt so tall, he most of the time wins in headers (even against taller players, like today, against balotelli, lucio and milito)....

also his short and long passes are accurate, but until now i had not seen him shooting from long distances, i expect he will do it in the next friendly tournament....

next week there will be the audi cup, against good teams like bayern munchen and manchester united...more time to see him fitting alongside nesta....

this player, alongside with abate has been the best ones in the awful pre season of ac milan....

i dont know if it is time to upgrade him or maybe we should wait a couple of matches in serie A....but one way or another i will suggest changes in acc, ts, defense, response, agility, and passing skills, and maybe header an jump......this seems to be a lot of changes, but he is really a very good player and the actual stats doesnt show that

[DeFrenZ]

these stats are already top notch for a serie A defender... surely in the top 15, maybe even top 10

[metronomo]

until now these are my sugestions

Defence: 83 ---> 84 (he must be at least on pair with kaladze, but for now its ok 84)
Stamina: 83 ---> 84 (must be at least on pair with pirlo, and even higher, but as in defence, 84 also seems fine)
Top Speed: 81 ---> 83 (for being a cb he is very fast, he is as fast as jankulovski, maybe more, but 83 could be correct also)
Acceleration: 83 ---> 85 (he reaches his ts quickly, faster than jankulovski for example)
Response: 84 ---> 85 (one of his strength, almost all of the time he knows where the ball is going; on pair with Cristian CHIVU, Nicola LEGROTTAGLIE, Fabiano SANTACROCE, Philippe MEXÈS)
Agility: 75 ---> 77 (he isnt a typical cb tall and slow, instead, he is agile; digao 77 and silva 75??)

sometimes he takes the ball and runs forward, not as good as lucio, but a little upgrade could be great for the game
Dribble Accuracy: 72 --->73
Dribble Speed: 71 --->72

in general his passing skills must be updated, mainly long pass acc and long pass speed.
Short Pass Accuracy: 72 --->74
Short Pass Speed: 70 --->72
Long Pass Acc.: 71 --->74
Long Pass Speed: 74 ---> 75

Header: 83 ---> 84 (great header for defending and attacking; on pair with Paolo CANNAVARO or Cesare BOVO)
Jump: 82 ---> 84 (not very tall but he compensates that with his jump, there are even times he wins the tallest players when reaching the ball)

Team Work: 79 ---> 80 (has not played much, but in pre season he already shows his great team work)

[master smurf]

DS must be at least green - all other suggestions seem fine

Once again no hurry - just saying

[metronomo]

yes, DS could be green, noticing he sometimes takes the ball forward with great speed, similar to lucio.

[tamaguchi_japa]

agree with metronomo, and suggest some like 76 to DS. and i would like to come his SP down by 2 points, he is really impressive, but i dont think that. same as FKA, he scored 2 FK in his carrer, a 73 could represent him better

[pedala robinho]

Great set, BECKS23LA, although minimal changes to the first post. I would only his ACC value to 84, he has a burning out of the normal for a Centre-Back.
