Gary Cahill

I know Gooonies like to call Koscielny world class
I'd like to think we're a bit more learned than that and can assess a player's ability correctly

Koscienly is debatable but in my opinion the world class tag is based on how players compare to their contemporaries at the time and Cahill isnt behind too many defenders in world football right now

I love Cahill, fast becoming a world Class centre half,

for me he is not quite there yet, but not far off but he has all the attributes.

Hes quick, strong, anticipates the game ala John Terry which I think is what he has learned most from the great man.

Early on in his Chelsea and England career he was guilty of standing of a bit to much, but that seems to have been eradicated from his game.

He could well be the bargain of the century

with his current ability and the obvious England player tax, id value him at £30m

what did we buy him for?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
£7m Bargain!

if we sold him we'd get between 16-24m for him depending on the strength of our bargaining position, i feel england tax only truly applies to young players with potential

One of of our best ever value for money buys

Only Carlo comes to mind in terms of better.....actually Ivanovic too perhaps

Good to see everyone agrees. Gary Cahill our unsung hero!

Whilst quite a few seem happy to say how much Cahill has benefited from JT I think its fair to say that it works both ways. JT loves playing with a guy that understands him and actually follows instructions...

Luiz

Cahill is extremely mobile as well which is why he is such a good foil for Terry who is fractionally less mobile than he once was.

I fail to understand why he wasn't made England captain
