Nesta is better than Carvalho. Carvalho is rubbish, he hasnt done anything that good in the EPL. How is he second?

Carvalho is not rubbish. I think he had a great season. I wouldnt say that he is better than Nesta but he's not rubbish.

If Real Madrid want him, we will get him, even with money-bags Ambrovich. We have the cash, class and prestige... Chelsea just have the cash. Also if he wants to win the Champions League, he will move to Real. :wink:

There was always this "inter curse" where you would see big names fail at Inter, but forget that curse, the Real Madrid curse is the new curse. Madrid - the place defenders go to ruin their career.

Sergio Ramos, Roberto Carlos, Hiero etc etc all world class defenders who have blomossed at Real Madrid. Our mistake with defenders is buying the wrong ones, or promoting ones who are not good enough to grace the famous white shirt, e.g. Cannavaro, Woodgate, Raul Bravo, Panucci and Cicinho.

When we purchase defenders good enough, we almost certainly make them even better, watch Sergio Ramos, he will be one of the greatest defenders of all time.

Yeh, Cannavaro not good enough for Madrid. I'd say the clu is not good enough for him, the world player of the year and all.

Roberto Carlos...world class defender....does not compute.

How can Ramos be world class? What has he done in his time with Real? Fair enough to say he has to potential to be very good, but world class? Please :roll:

Just because Cannavaro is very good in Italy (not even the best, Nesta is the best) doesn't mean he is very good in Spain, in fact he is actually quite bad, I watch all of Madrid's games and he is garbage. Maybe he can cut it in a lessor league like Serie A, but La Liga is much more difficult.

Sergio maynot be quite world class yet, but mark my words he will be ten times the defender Puyol is as well as being one of the greatest defenders of all time, his technical ability is just as good as his defensive abilities, something very rare in someone so young. The best defensive signing we made since we signed Makelele.

i rate carra highly, but best in the world? dunno.. he's not that great on the ball, his range of passing isn't anything to write home about.

if it's all about this season performance, there's no way cannavaro in the list .. i've seen quite a few matches where real madrid play this season, and cannavaro is just not convincing AT ALL !! Puyol and Terry definitely there.. nesta - how the fk am i going to know .. carragher/ carvahlo = agree !!
