Deluded fans

Just come across a debate of top 10 CB's on the Arsenal board based around a few members arguing that Koscielny is amongst the worlds best. Whilst I accept that he is a very good defender certain members are putting him as THE best!!

AAAAnnnnd all lists are not including Vidic in the top 10 which is just laughable. Even now he is still a monster, just look at the difference he made to our defence when he came back from injury last season.

If Varane continues to progress and develop his game, honestly within 5 years, he'd be heads and shoulders above any centre-back in the world in my eyes. He's just turned 20

Huh? Chiellini is head and shoulders above the other two. Best CB in the world for me


not last season he wasnt, Barzagli was brilliant and was Juve's best defender

In your opinion, I think Chiellini was better myself, and I think most people would agree

I noticed when I was making the top 10 list, I listed defenders and their partners. I had Vidic/Ferdinand, Barzagli/Chillieni and Hummels/Subotic.

Compatibility in partnerships is huge, which is why its difficult to distinguish who's better than who individually. Some footballers are so good that they make their defensive partners even better than they are. I can't usually tell who can make who better but a couple years back, I felt like Carvalho made Terry look like a world beater.

Rio always made Terry look better than he was, for England.

He certainly looks better than Terry at missing drug tests.

He certainly did. Terry was even too slow to get in on that descrepancy.

Good to see you on the ball at last.

I think Terry is great given the right partner. Thats why he worked so well with Rio and Carvalho. There are of course some defenders who work well with anyone, such as Stam, Rio (who even partnered Silvestre in central defence), and Nesta to name a few.
