Difference is Gattuso was undroppable in his prime.

Gattuso was a little lesser version of Edgar Davids for me. A Davids with less technique and bigger lungs, perhaps. It was all about movement between the lines. The way they ran at breakneck speed for ninety minutes in every game was incredible. Davids did it to create room for himself though, because he had the skills to be creative (Ramsey is actually a wee bit like him at the moment). Gattuso did it to make room for others, like Pirlo and Seedorf. His insane pressing high up the field helped to define the way central midfielders have developed in the last decade.
If Flamini had half as much about him he would have been one of the best French footballers of his generation, rather than the guy with 4 caps at the age of thirty.
