De Gea, Ivanovic, Terry, Matic and Hazard for me like.

 

Matic is nowhere near Busquet's level as a defensive midfielder.

 

Terry wouldn't get in ahead of Godin and a reformed Pique either, or Varane for that matter.

 

Why am I even having this debate when you think Hazard would get in ahead of Messi, Suarez, Neymar or Ronaldo..

 

Varane, Godin and Pique, man. Give over. :lol:

I wouldn't have Varane there, especially this season. But Terry doesn't get ahead of Godin, Ramos or Pique this season imo.

Terry could play in Godin's role for Atletico to a better standard. But I don't think Terry could ever have played for Barcelona or Real successfully. The line and isolation that those lads (especially Madrid) have is something else and Terry would really struggle. PLaying so deep against teams of similar lvels with Matic in front has left Terry to do what nobody else can do better than him. Defend 15-20 yards from goal.

 

IMO Alves is never as bad as has been made out for Barca. He was out of this world for about 4-5 years, then his level dipped. I don't think anyone in the PL has been significantly better than him this season.

Otamendi for Valencia has been the best CB in La Liga, imho. Amazing season.

 

He has lately no doubt, was immense against Barcelona. No idea how he was doing earlier, but for all of 2014 I think Godin was the best in the league. (didn't see much of Valencia though)

He is man, for 2014 he was absolutely rubbish. World Cup he was rubbish. He's picked it up, but under Tata and first half of this season only thing he did was cross the ball to no one. He only became better when Messi moved to the right side of the pitch and has improved defensively. lately. Seems to have more energy, probably playing for a new lengthy contract somewhere?
