Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson. GK: Cech, Joe Hart, Szceszny. RB: Ivanovic, M.Richards. CB: Kompany, Terry, Koscielny, Vermaelen. LB: A.Cole, Agger. CM: Yaya Toure, Arteta, Dembele, Oscar, Cabaye, Fellaini. AM: Hazard, Kagawa, D.Silva, Cazorla, Mata. ST: Van Persie, Tevez, Aguero. Cech, Ivanovic, Kompany, Terry, A.Cole, Yaya Toure, Dembele, D.Silva, Aguero, Hazard, Van Persie. Joe Hart, M.Richards, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Agger, Oscar, Arteta, Cazorla, Kagawa, Mata, Tevez. Subs: Szceszny, Cabaye, Fellaini. - This squad would be incredible! Points people may argue... Szceszny - I personally rate him higher than Krul, De Gea, Reina, Vorm, Friedel, Lloris etc... Not a lot in it but he's a very good keeper for his age. M.Richards - I think he is an absolute beast! Plus, Sagna is ALWAYS injured, why would you want him in your squad? Agger - Able to play CB and LB, experienced, leader, strong and better than more 'natural' left backs such as Ekotto, Enrique, Evra, Baines etc... Oscar - Haven't seen a a hell of a lot of him but he has a lot of talent and would get better and be fantastic in the deep lying playmaker position! I think the rest pretty much speaks for itself. What would your squad be? Cheers!
Well it wouldn't include Ivanovic, Richards, Agger (definitely), Arteta, Oscar (never seen him - as have you so how can you pick) or Tevez. Can't argue with the other Chelsea players, but Walker and Bale would have to be in it.
That's the thing SpursDisciple.....It's all about opinions! And on Oscar, I have seen him play, I actually watched every match he featured in the Olympics because I was very interested in who we had signed, Also seen him play twice in the chelsea shirt for 30 mins each time. From what I've seen he is good and will get better. Massive potential!! Agger is great at left back. Much better than Evra, Clichy, J.Enrique etc... He makes less mistakes and just makes the back 4 a lot stronger, especially with the play he's already playing with in my squad.
As was said by the OP it's about opinions and for me Walker is a better player, faster, more of a threat in attack and equal to Ivan in defence, but I understand you wont agree. And to Joe Allen, yes I am biased towards Spurs players. I assume from your tone that I am the only one with a club bias. Didier has picked a chelsea player based on 2 30 minute stints and a Summer tournament. Non Chelsea fans might say that is a bit quick to say he is one of the best 25 players in the league, but we are biased towards the players we like. Sue me.
Walker is definitely not Ivanovic's equal in defence. Ivanovic has improved a hell of a lot going forward as well. As unbiased as possible I'd definitely not pick Walker over Ivanovic.
And Walker has improved a lot in defence. My "unbiased" view. Have a lot of time for Ivan by the way, had him in my FF team last year. Happen to think Walker is a better athlete and that helps him be a better player.
I never said you were wrong about including Oscar in that, I actually happen to agree with that. I don't see why he's put Agger at LB though
(GK) Cech, Hart, Szczesny (LB) Cole, Baines (RB) Sagna, Maicon (CB) Kompany, Agger, Vermaelen, Terry (CM) Toure, Arteta, Fellaini, Cabaye, Sahin (AM) Bale, Mata, Hazard, Silva, Cazorla, Kagawa, (ST) Van Persie, Aguero, Rooney
Ill give use a team. GK- Hart, Howard, cech RB- Sagna, Ivanovic CB- Terry, Vermaelen , Kompany, Vidic. LB- Cashley, Baines RM- Valencia, Hazard CM- Yaya Toure, cazorla, fellaini, Kagawa LM- Bale, Silva CF- Van Persie, aguero, Rooney, Jelavic
Fine it's your opinion. I give you the fact he's pacier but also consider Ivanovics goal threat. He's a lot younger though I reckon he'll be up there soon enough.
yourself. Th Oscar mention was to give another example of club bias (IMO) I never said you you did say anything about Oscar. It was just your charge about club bias - giving another example of it. Could include your view that Agger would get in as Centre back.
