Carragher was always decent.....for us. Scored as many for the Spurs as he did for Liverpool, I think.
The best thing about this link is to finally be in contention for a defender that just loves to defend. There appears far too many in football that seem to think that they are deep lying midfielders. Personally for a CB, I want a big, horrible, nasty defender who just takes pride in the defending part of the game.
Arguably some of the below are not slow but I wouldnt insist on calling their speed anything above 'average' especially towards the end of their careers when they were still undoubtably very good CBs.
Vidic,
Terry
Puyol
Cannavaro
Stam
Desailly
Costacurta
Chiellini
Carragher (pushing it here with the 'Elite' phrase but was still very good)
Adams
Kompany
Ok, but apart from them?
Agree, if you can read the game and know where to position yourself, you do t need to be Linford Christie.....Ledley wasn’t exactly quickI'd much rather have a CB who is in the right position almost all the time versus one that can look spectacular by using pace to make up for a lack of positioning.
Plus, we've given up so many chances and goals from set pieces I wouldn't mind a guy that looks like he's part of Martin Skrtel's gang assassinating the ball out of our own 18.
I got more of aI don’t know why but I always get Humphrey Bogart’s voice in my head when I read your posts

I'd rather a Skriniar and Brozovich double deal personally. Would balance out our midfield options splendidly - though I imagine it could only happen if Ndombele or Alli were going in the other direction. Broz situation one to keep an eye on nonetheless.I wonder if there’s a double deal to be done for this guy and Eriksen. If inter really want to move both on I’d be happy to take Eriksen back.
