Erm, by these stats Paul Mcshane is our best defender.
How'd you work that out? I make it Chester based on avg. goals conceded per game played.

I thought he was looking to put Harper at CB?
For that sir, you deserve the coveted banter biscuit:

Jonjo Shelvey and Stephen Darby are the two.
Sorry, don't agree there.
I thought Ayala and Gerrard were on a par and formed a very good partnership, second only to the partnership formed by Gerrard and Chester.
Interesting stats from last season showing goals conceeded per partnership:
Gardner/Zayatte 04
Cooper/Zayatte 03
Gerrard/Ayala 200040112120
Gerrard/McShane 1
Gerrard/Zayatte 0200212
McShane/Zayatte 1
Gerrard/Chester 010210102010
Gerrard/Hobbs 111114113
I'll reiterate that I think spending £800k+ on Hobbs was a mistake.

Dont get me wrong i thought Ayala was a fine centre back and id have loved him playing for city again. But imo,we just dont need him.Ches and hobbs will be a great pairing. Ayala's too good for back up and so is Chester.
Also Ches is our player,Ayala a loan. The loot would be better spent on a wide man.

id be slightly miffed if chesters dropped, i think hes a brilliant centre half, allows the game to flow, good reading of the game and brilliant distribution for a centre back, but id also love to see ayala come here, if that happens then id be agreeing with percy, id rather have had chester/ayala than chester/hobbs.
