Top 5 Premiership Defenders

Woodgate looks to have lost a bit of mobility since his days with us, he no longer has an edge over the likes of Terry or Carragher.

 

??? and Terry edges it because he is so fantastically mobile?

 

 

i said he no longer has an edge over Terry, which suggests the opposite of what you said.

John Terry

Fantastic leader of men, very brave, heart on his sleave, fantastic defender who very rarely needs to over commit himself to a tackle. Makes up for his lack of pace with a fantastic ability to read the game.

 

Jonathon Woodgate

Reading of the game is immense and is so calm and composed. Never rattled.

 

William Gallas

Versatility is a trait used too often with Gallas and I think this detracts from his unarguable ability in his favoured position of centre half. Very quick, powerful, great leap for a relatively smaller guy, massive athleticism.

 

Kolo Toure

Take him away from Arsenal and they are in trouble. Unbelievably quick, powerful, and a leader, but raw still when compared to the slightly classier messrs Terry, Woodgate and Gallas.

 

Nemancja Vidic

Didn't see much in him last season but this year since he has settled looks the part. Quick, powerful, great attacking header of the ball and reads the game well. If he continues to develop as he has this year ferguson has a real gem f a centre half.

ah ok i thought you meant Woodgate has lost his mobility now so Terry and Carra now has the edge over Woodgate because of there mobility

 

apologies  :thup:

In rank order:

 

1) Gallas - Best centre back in the league by a country mile. Possesses plent of ability and barely puts a foot wrong.

 

2) Toure - Still improving and a big reason why Arseanl reached the Champions League final last year.

 

3) Terry - Not the best at international level but takes some beating on the domestic front.

 

4) Woodgate - A crock, but still one of the leagues most accomplished centre backs, absolute class on his day.

 

5) Vidic - Was always going to be a hit at Man Utd after his heroics at international level.

Like Rooney in the other thread, Ferdinand is vastly over-hyped. Drops plenty of bollocks but never seems to be punished due to plent of quality cover.

He's held their defence together for years. He still does.

 

Alongside him Silvestre was a title winning centre back.

I'm amazed so many people are not choosing Vidic.

 

He has been awesome this season, and has contributed as much as Scholes and Ronaldo in winning the league for Man U (which obv they will).

 

Cheatski are gonna win the title and that is a promise.

DAWSON  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

I can name five better toon defenders from the last five years than Dawson.  Fuckin Dawson  ;D he plays for Tottenham full stop - King does but he'll move on soon.

 

Hopefully he'll do a Campbell, join a real club for free and piss the Spuds right off! :lol:

dawson probably wouldn't be in my top 20 tbh - all other players mentioned in this thread are much better.

 

as are yobo, taylor, cole, bridge, campbell, eboue, lescott etc. etc.
