Lampard and Gerrard are still 2 of our best 3 CMs, so they pick themselves.
It's up front and occasionally at the back where England have struggled in the last decade, not in midfield.
I don't like him much but he's a far better defender now than he was at when he broke through 9 years ago.
Never had a game in his career as bad as Debuchy's against Hull, fwiw.
As a CB? Based on what? At City he's seldom looked like a CB in the last 5 years.
As much as we need a CB we certainly don't need one shorter than 6' and we need a solid RB much more in any case.
I'd rather bring him in to replace Taylor than Debuchy.
So if we bought him tomorrow you'd play him at CB with Coloccini and keep Debuchy in the side?
Aye, OK.
It's THAT f***ing boring.
Would be happy with it though be a huge upgrade on Taylor IMO. And he's a unit, which people seem to he crying out for
Huge upgrade on Taylor? He's first and foremost a RB who's got similar weaknesses to Taylor at CB in addition to being small.
