Pique has been poor this season but on form I'd say he's probably the best CB in the world. Vidic for me is better at "defending" but does not have the same ability on the ball.
Terry was a central midfield playmaker when we got him
But are the top 10 really better than ours? Do you see Arouna Kone or Ballesteros of Levante who were in fourth last I checked playing for any of the top 7 in the Premier league? Sevilla have very little quality left in their squad and Newcastle have a better group of players than they do. Athletico have an impressive team but is their team better than Liverpool, their premier league equivalent? Valencia are not better than Spurs, Chelsea or Arsenal either. Apart from their front two who by far trump the English equivalents(TV rights and fantastic history), the rest aren't on the level of their premier league equivalents. I do agree that Pique playing at his best is definitely one of the top two centre backs in the world.
Pique = Overrated
Hardly has to defend and when he does he looks sloppy at the back. Put Carragher in the Barcelona defence he would keep clean sheets all season.
Agree with Terry, there is a reason Pique was behind Silvestre in the pecking order at United.
Ledley King is better than Pique.
And he plays for the best country and club team. Yes he is a good defender but it's so easy when you play for Barcelona.
Gary Cahill could take his place and be just as good.
Barcelona & Spain are just too good!
Bob can be absolute class at DM if allowed to play there
The guy is a talent, & wasted at CB
I like my CH to defend first and then be ball players after Pique is the other way around IMO
T.Silva is a better defender and has the technique to match
David will get there , he will be even better next season but let's also remember both Pique and T.Silva play in leagues where they get much more time on the ball, EPL is helter skelter most weekends
No Luiz is a CB, and will becoem an excellent one.
Certainly NOT DM, perhaps CM though.
AVB will
1) possibly not be there too long to try it
2) Not try it anyway
so we'll never know
