Sol Campbell was never as good a defender as Ashley Cole I'm afraid.

How is this even a debate FFS?! Sol was miles better DEFENSIVELY than Ashley Cole. Bigger, stronger, faster, better 1v1. Anyway:

PSG working on a deal to sign di María for €60m (£48m). Club happy to pay £153k-a-week wages. Cavani off?

Bigger, stronger and faster. I pretty much doubt he was faster, but are they the first 3 things that come to mind when assessing a players defensive ability?

Ashley Cole done his job wayyyy better than Sol Campbell. He was/is far less error-prone as well.

Not necessarily, but the idea that Cole was significantly better than Campbell at his job is ridiculous, however good he is.

COLE A BETTER DEFENDER!?!?! If we're comparing their actual defensive capabilities then it's down right ridiculous to even compare the two. If the whole basis of your comparison is "how well they did their job defensively" then it's not a fair comparison, playing CB is obviously much more difficult than playing as a FB.

Campbell was a brilliant defender, physically he was as good as it got, wonderful aerially, read the game well, just an absolutely dominant all-round defender in his day. Can't properly compare him to Cole, played in different positions, but during both player's time at the club Campbell was clearly more important to our success than Cole was from 01-06.

If we're comparing their overall careers then fair enough, but based on their time at Arsenal? It's Campbell easily.

Yeah heard Valbuena will be leaving Marseille. Really hope he comes to the PL, no matter who he signs for. He should be joining someone like Spurs.

He's not even very good. Leeds fans don't like him.
