    I'm waiting for a Liverpool fan to say Agger. He tends to get higher rated the less he plays Wink

    Slight exaggeration imo but he's definitely the best defender of his generation and certainly the one i would take.

    How can Carvalho make such a poll when he's the joint 2nd choice (just) at Chelsea. Whenever he plays he's dodgy as well.

    Nesta. Incredibly classy, even at this stage in his career. Done it for the best part of a decade now too.

    Personally think Pepe is the best defender in La Liga

    Carvalho, Samuel, etc make this poll coz IMO they are class. You can disagree, or create a different poll if you like... Razz

    ...was my no 1 followed by Tomkins.

    Puyol should be above Vidic.

    Lugano possibly should have been on the list.

    He's got as many EPL defenders in there as Serie A defenders.

    Perhaps lrd is internally convinced that such polls must almost entirely consist of only EPL players. How ridiculous of me to include the best CB from Brasil, Italy & Argentina respectively!

    When fit:
    1) Nesta

    2) Ferdinand/King

    However Alex was the best performing defender last season IMO and he doesn't have injury problems. That added to his talent and I'll go for him.

    Alex Ale

    Was the first Milan match i watched this season. And he makes a huge cock up. I suspect there's many more mate. Obviously a top defender but he has his flaws like everyone else.

    You, according to yourself, don't watch Milan that much and find a game where he makes a mistake and so assume this must be quite common. I don't think anybody has said that Nesta has never made a mistake. But surely you can see that the logic you are using is rather strange. If you want to prove people wrong vis a vis Nesta then all you have to do is watch some more Milan games and show the evidence.
