I'm confident we'll catch you up. After all, you are our bitch in this department.

No top quality DM's during this period for Man Utd... Keane was just about finished in 2005.

Oh yeah I forgot, it's the DMs who make the CBs look class (probably why King's got so fed up and decided to semi-retire).

1-Rio Ferdinand
2-Kolo Toure
3-William Gallas
4-John Terry
5-Ricardo Carvalho
6-Ledley King
7-Nemanja Vidic
8-Jamie Carragher
9-Matthew Upson
10-Ryan Nelsen

Nope, not at all, i meant this thread

Don't f@ck with an admin Ballack

Im surprised how underrated Christopher Samba is on this board.



He is only 23 and i think he could easily play for a top 4 club in the near future.

Sorry for stealing your thunder Batman. What's the plan with this? Ad up the totals and come up with a definitive EMB XI?

I was considering Samba, it was either him or Carragher.

Its no problem. I haven't got plan at the moment so im open to ideas?

I would suggest that Batman...if we give 1st place 10 points...then down to 1 point for 10th etc...and then see overall who the EMB rates as boards best XI...I'll add some up

I take it we are doing it for every poisition?

LB, RM, DM/AM, LM, ST ??

I'm happy with that idea.

1...Carvalho
2...Agger
3...Ferdinand
4...Gallas
5...Terry
6...Vidic
7...Toure
8...Carragher
9...Laursen
10...Dunne

Does everyone rate Gallas above Toure?

I always rated Toure higher tbh...whenever I've seen Toure play, he's immense.

Not tonight mate although not really his fault.

i find it really hard to say. i could've interchanged any of the top 8 really. gallas i just hardly ever see making a mistake, not that toure does often but i can remember the odd example

Regards to Samba...Ryan Nelsen is still better

1. Gallas
2. Carvalho
3. Toure
4. Vidic
5. Ferdinand
6. Alex
7. Carragher
8. Terry
9. King
10. Yobo

*Does King even count as a footballer anymore? I only include players who are capable of playing at least once every blue moon.

1.Carvalho
2.Ferdinand
3.Terry
4.Gallas
5.Vidic
6.Toure
7.Samba
8.Alex
9.Carragher
10.Dunne

I thought King had retired?

1. Senderos.

Gallas has won two titles with Chelsea (who haven't won it without him ) plus he was flawless in the WC just as good as your Fabio.

Gallas is a better defender than Toure in my opinion. Plus he has shown that he can fit into different types of defence, the more solid defence that Chelsea play, and the more open defence that we usually play and I think Toure is better suited to our style of defending and might not be as good in a defence like Liverpool's.

Technically i think Toure is better than Gallas.

Eh? Perhaps you have not seen Gallas play left back better than most left backs out there...doubt Toure could reach him in terms of crossing, ball controll etc..

Toure has played right back and left back before for Arsenal. When he came to Arsenal Toure was a midfield player.
