Most underrated defender in the PL and this is coming from an Arsenal fan
He doesn't get mentioned because he is consistently good, they tend to mention his mistakes more than his good work.
Jones was centre of attention because people are still expecting him to mess up (like he did in the 1st half)
I've said for the last year or so I'd call him England's best player. A genuinely good CB is so underrated these days.
he was my choice for skipper.....
Second best centre half in the world, Behind Terry.
He's come in and knuckled down at Chelsea. Mourinho keeping him as a centreback for 2 seasons running is a big compliment to Cahill.
Should have been England Captain instead of Rooney. Didn't even get a mention.
I will say this only once.
And please delete after reading.
He's probably the greatest January signing of all time.
I love Cahill, fast becoming a world Class centre half,
for me he is not quite there yet, but not far off but he has all the attributes.
Hes quick, strong, anticipates the game ala John Terry which I think is what he has learned most from the great man.
Early on in his Chelsea and England career he was guilty of standing of a bit to much, but that seems to have been eradicated from his game.
He could well be the bargain of the century
with his current ability and the obvious England player tax, id value him at £30m
what did we buy him for?
He's a decent solid centre half. Wont be world class.

If World Class is rated against other current defenders (which it should be becuase it is a 'class' then he is currently among the best
I know Gooonies like to call Koscielny world class
I'd like to think we're a bit more learned than that and can assess a player's ability correctly
Koscienly is debatable but in my opinion the world class tag is based on how players compare to their contemporaries at the time and Cahill isnt behind too many defenders in world football right now

£7m Bargain!
if we sold him we'd get between 16-24m for him depending on the strength of our bargaining position, i feel england tax only truly applies to young players with potential
One of of our best ever value for money buys

Only Carlo comes to mind in terms of better.....actually Ivanovic too perhaps
Good to see everyone agrees. Gary Cahill our unsung hero!
Whilst quite a few seem happy to say how much Cahill has benefited from JT I think its fair to say that it works both ways. JT loves playing with a guy that understands him and actually follows instructions...
Luiz
Cahill is extremely mobile as well which is why he is such a good foil for Terry who is fractionally less mobile than he once was.
I fail to understand why he wasn't made England captain
