Footballers aren't always the best judges of characters, y'know. Carvahlo was much better than Terry that season yet Terry got the plaudits because he's english. He's won a few individual honors but I think a lot of that is on reputation. Ferdinand is world class, and none of you baffling on...

I'm not contradicting myself. Ferdinand has previously proved what a wonderful player he is, last season he had injury problems. I still think he's a world class player. Form is temporary, class is permanent springs to mind. But I don't think Terry's ever been world class.

1. Was probably Roger Johnson or Scott Dann. 2. Scoring goals for a set piece team like England = good defending? 3. Terry was a good defender pre Roman, I'm not denying that. My argument is that he is not top quality. 4. World class players don't make the mistakes he made last season. They...

Antonn's spot on.

Difference between international football and domestic football. They also don't play a lot together because of injuries so have never formed a partnership. If Woodgate and King hadn't had injury problems then Terry wouldn't be an England regular. The same Man City who have signed Adebayor...

I stand by everything that I originally said. John Terry is an decent defender made to look better by the players he plays with. Last season he was showed up for the average player he is. He's mistake prone and lacks pace. He puts his body in the way of things a lot but are you trying to tell me...

Vieira was better at everything than Essien, the perfect midfielder but that debate (if there really is one) is for another day.

Essien's not a DM. He's box to box in the mould of Vieira.

Liverpool can't afford him, they're practically bankrupt.

Ferdinand has been the best defender in the world the past few years. Only been dodgy recently because of injury - don't see how anyone can see otherwise. Between 2003-2007, he was made to look good by playing with world class defenders. He is not world class and never has been. Faultless...

VDV behind Rooney would have been excellent for United.

And Sol Campbell and possibly William Gallas. He was not the best defender in the world care free :lol:, don't be silly. He's always made to look better than he is by who he plays with. A good defender but not great and has always been average at international level. Ferdinand has been the best...

Essien is awesome but not a DM. I would class him as a box to box midfielder like Vieira but not as good of course. The best? Cambiasso probably.

Errr, what? His first touch isn't always the best but he's a good footballer.

Van persie's our second best player but Nasri's not far off. Big game for him tomorrow.

This x100000000. Gets made to look better than he is by his defensive partner. Was dreadful last season.

Scored twice for Spurs today, looks a steal for £8m. He's way too good for Spurs though. Don't understand why United spent £7m on Bebe and didn't go for this guy?

From someone who's watched both Wilshere and Fabregas a lot at a similar age I can honestly say that there's a not a great deal in it although at 18 Fabregas was better. They're different types of players though and Fabregas has benefited from learning from the likes of Bergkamp, Vieira...

Great skill from Wilshere to set up Arshavin tonight. http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/andrey-arshavin-partizan-belgrade-4535059/
