Far too heavily biased towards Italy in general and Juventus in particular, we've all seen that Italian players aren't all that good in the PL. thus as usual complete bolloaks.

Winchester Red Posted 9 January, 2014 Author Share Posted 9 January, 2014 no idea, none I expect probably because they aren't good enough. Jesus. I always thought you were moderately level but to suggest every Italian Centre Back that ever played isn't good enough for the Prem you'd have to be a complete idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Jesus. I always thought you were moderately level but to suggest every Italian Centre Back that ever played isn't good enough for the Prem you'd have to be a complete idiot I don't think Italian players or players from Italy in general translate particularly well to the PL as we have seen for ourselves. I mean there must be a reason why there are so few Italian defenders in the PL mustn't there. The game is so totally different in the 2 countries. Look at Mexes, now he's a really average CB but he's a big star hotshot in Italy and to suggest that all these 3 Juventus blokes are all better than Kompany or Koscielny really is a bit silly.

Window Cleaner Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Anyway Thiago Silva is probably the best CB playing in Europe, don't see him on the list though. I'd swap Lovren for him anyday. Also isn't it strange that Juventus have 3 of the top 10 CBs in Europe and yet they couldn't even make the knockout stages of the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Lol does that make him the best CB in the Prem? According to that list it does. IMO he cant be far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Who in the prem would you swap him for? (Straight swap) There probably aren't many to be fair, Kompany certainly springs to mind. no idea, none I expect probably because they aren't good enough. Yeah, I bet Nesta, Costacurta, Cannavarro & Maldini never would have been up to the PL. According to that list it does. IMO he cant be far from it. I agree to some extent. I can't immediately think of many better. Though I'd be hesitant to say he is the best. He's at a good age though, still room to improve so maybe in a couple of years there is a chance he could be.

Saint Garrett Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 He is fecking awesome. If we could get another CB on his level and Clyne/Chambers/Shaw all continue developing (with us) , we'd be superb defensively for the next 10 years! He seems to love the club as well.

farawaysaint Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 I really really really want to keep this guy,I imagine several big clubs will come sniffing before too long and for his quality at 24 they'll have to stump up a stupid fee. Kudos to whoever scouted him as 8mill is a snip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Who in the prem would you swap him for? (Straight swap) Well considering an uninjured Kompany is arguably the best CB in the world then him. Skrtel is up there as a maybe as is Vertonghan. I do think Lovren is very very good, he is the one Im really worried about losing considering that Utd, Chelsea, arsenal and liverpool are potentially going to look for CBs soon.

forever a red and white Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Thiago Silva, possibly the best CB in the world, not in the top 10, don't get too excited yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 lets be honest, Lovren is too good to be 9th in this league. lets hope we rise up a bit and he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 Not sure he's the very best in the league but he can't be far off. All the usual names have been off and on this season. How many English centre halves have made it in Serie A, out of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many English centre halves have made it in Serie A, out of interest? I expect you'd have to go back to Des Walker and before that John Charles, there's not enough money in the Calcio to attract good British players now, they aren't very well paid you know which is why they're all prepared to sign on in the PL. They double their pay as a rule. Edited 9 January, 2014 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
