    Utility man. Always seen him as a Left sided Midfielder or CM/CAM.





    Cashley Cole. Can't think of anyone better. Abidal is always quite solid. Not too spectacular, but solid.

    I wouldn't say Cashley or Evra were the best in the EPL, never mind the world. On present form, that accolade probably goes to Gareth Bale.

    Best in the world has to be Lahm - and that's from a Barca supporter. To be honest there's not much serious competition.

    Bale is a LW

    Lahm is exceptional going forward but he is not as good as people make out defensively

    Evra was best in 07/08. He's dropped the bar since then to be truthful. Still good though. Cole, despite his mistake at weekend, is the most complete LB in the world.
