Honestly...

they're all loathsome fukwits though.

Yup, imagine that back four with Lehmann in goal.

The most cnutish back 5 in Premier League history.

[dww]

Neville Ferdinand Carvalho Cole

Purely on footballing merit I'd prefer that back 4 to our own.

I would worry about that back four in the air. Ferdinand is pretty decent aerially but doesn't dominate enough and Carvalho tened to crumble last season when teams targetted him in that way. Still it would be a good ball playing back four.

Carvalho:???? he has been awful !! would also want a jamie/Terry just to mix it upa bit as well

[Peter Delvechio]

I think that Carvalho is, regrettably, a great player.

I'm coming round to him, I must say.

Based on what I'd seen of him in the Premiership, I had him down as an error strewn Art Garfunkel look-a-like, who crumbles under pressure. He's also a dirty *******.

Away from the English league though, he appears to be a top class defender. He often outshines Terry in the CL and he had a superb World Cup.

Yea, the fact that he looks like a tart made it difficult to take hims seriously at first but although he's very cynical (or perhaps because of it) I'd imagine he's very hard to play against.

Looks like a "tart"? In what way does he look like a tart?

If anything he looks like a dark-haired version of Rocky "Mommy my head hurts" Dennis from Mask.

[Peter Delvechio]

Doesn't he look like a Liverpool prozzie?

Y'know, in the morning after her make-up has relocated to one's crotch?

Paletta has made 2 errors in 2 games and Agger can't stay fit for 5 minutes.

Sami has nothing to worry about when it comes to losing his place in the side. The 2 replacements have a hell of a lot of work to do if they want to replace the legend that is Sami Hyypia.

Im aware of this. Not saying either of them is ready to be reagulars yet. Both players are very young and Paletta needs to learn English. But Im pretty sure atleast Agger will get alot of games this season, if he stays fit, and challenge Sami next season

[saveferris]

If Gallas were to go to Arsenal though then I think they would have an excellent defensive unit. I think Gallas is still seriously underrated (esp at Chelsea) and Toure has come on lots. Sure the full backs leave a lot to be desired but they are athletic and have decent experience.

I have to say he has been better in Europe but I think he has been badly found out in the PL. Teams like Bolton just bombarded his side of defence with high balls and had a lot of joy. If Gallas goes I think they will need a new CB for that sort of game.

Not too sure to be honest mate, but I hope you're right. Agger and Paletta have a bag full of potential, but even so, I really can't see Agger getting in ahead of Sami this season. Maybe the odd game when Sami needs a rest, but that's it IMO. Besides, Agger may well not be fit when he's called upon, judging by his injury record.

Pretty much what I said. He´ll get games when Sami needs resting, and a few in the cups etc. Hopefully stay fit and challenge nest season. Hopefully the injuries will go away...

Fingers crossed.

Re the Agger injuries - he simply must get completely fit if he is to become our 1st choice centre back. There is no way we can chop and change our centre back pairing every few weeks if we are to challenge for the Premiership.
