    Wouldn’t say any one particular CB is better than the rest in the Prem at the moment, there’s about 5 or 6 who’d make most/ all sides’ XIs in Europe.

    As for best CB in the world, Ramos is the best leader as well as a fantastic CB but Godin for me is just the elite of the elite when it comes to actual defending. Bloke’s been a monster for Atleti for the best part of a decade. You could probably play him on his own at the back and keep clean sheets most weeks.

    Yeah Godin is a great CB. Still wouldn't swap...mainly due to age!

    You seriously saying VVD isn't the best in the PL though?

    I think every single defensive statistic points out he is.

    Like I said, there’s about 5 or 6 who are all top, top CBs. He ain’t even been with you for a year yet, he’s in great form but it’s still too early to be calling him the best.

    yup, it's like those who call hazard best in the world when he hit his hot patch or when kane bags a few hat tricks.

    This is very true. They thought Torres was the best in the world at one point. He’d scored a hat trick against Hull. Suarez’s was against Norwich.
