I have Baresi and Blanc in defence. :tongue:

Baresi probably in the top 3 defenders of all time with Moore and Beckenbauer, and Blanc not too far off.
Blanc is rated higher in this game than Baresi, but yeah, good defense.
Blanc higher than Baresi, dunno about that. Baresi was impeccable up until his retirement. Captained Italy to the world cup final in 94, captained Milan to the old CL in 94, and the league in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996. Franco Baresi of 92-96 would have cruised into any team in the world at that time, and in the present. By far the best defender in this game.

Great pick in Winterburn mate. Brilliant.

But you side is horribly unbalanced because you took Torres. You better look to trade him.

:thumbsup: He was incredible. I don't know about best defender in this game, I'd have Nesta all day long ahead of him, but I'd say he is one of the better picks. I'm not sure how much recognition you'll get for it though.

No mate, Rio is in the England team because he has been world class in 06/07 and 07/08. This game is about from 92-now. Carragher has undoubedly been the better defender over their careers.

As for Hiero v Blanc, an like Blanc better. The guy was an animal in the air, brilliant positionally, and his passing from the back was world class. Best central defender ever according to Gallas.

As for your point about Hierro being captain, how hard is it to captain world class leaders like that?

We should probably ask Diego for his opinion on the matter.

I used to watch Serie A on channel 4 when Baresi was still around, he was ridiculous. Made defending look like a true art form. No need for any roughing up or brutal tactics (he barely ever had to go to ground), he was just there in the perfect position to make life easy for himself. And his ability on the ball was top too, never under any pressure.

:hysterics: Best joke all day.

P.S. Thuram was a fantastic player. And you shouldn't compare a right back to centre back.

Yeah in his Parma and Juve days he spent most of his time at CB and he was an incredible defender, one of the top 5 defenders of this generation, but not even close to Nesta who is undoubtedly the best defender I've ever seen...

Thuram was far superior to Nest IMO. Just as good positionally, miles better physically.

I'm not even gonna argue this one lol, Nesta owns Thuram all day long, in every aspect of the game bar physicality, in which Nesta excelled anyway...
