I almost forgot him due to his injuries lol,he should be there.. Razz

Coloccini is the best ball playing CB in the PL imo Very Happy

What about the Man City defender? Kompany?

by RealGunner Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:03 pm

Nah, man city dont play with a ball playing CB. Savic is their best one in that regard but he is meh atm

by Gil Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:14 pm

David Luiz is miles better than Hummels with the ball at his feet. No contest.

Hummels is obviously the better defender though.

by alexjanosik Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:39 pm

Hummels by a country mile.
A delight to watch on the ball.

by Albiceleste Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:40 pm

Can't believe Jones is on this list :facepalm:

Pique by miles or Hummels.

What a joke thread.Jones and Luiz are in but no mention of Agger.he has been the best defender in the PL this season.

We have best defensive record in the league this season and conceded half of our goals in the 3 games that he didnt play.

Either way Hummels and Pique are best IMO.

by chinomaster182 Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:55 pm

I think Lucio should at least be in the discussion

by Adit Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:56 pm

Joke thread because your teams player isnt listed?

Go vote others and quite bitching.

by BeautifulGame Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:02 pm

Joke thread because u list players without watching them.When u ist players who arent even regulars in their club as one of the best in the world then yes its a joke thread.

You are sitting beside me watching my TV and noting what matches im watching??

Jog on pest.

Who says you have to be a regular player to include in a specific category?

Cesc is a bench player doesnt mean he cant be included in a list,you are a joke kid.

Quite being a moaner.Vote others and hide in your hole..

by S Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:32 pm

Definitely cant look beyond Hummels atm.He is so good technically that he can even be tried out as a defensive midfielder if needed.He's a great long passer tbh.

Also had Bonucci been in good form and realized his potential he would have probably been included in this poll as well.

by Abramovich Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:37 pm

Luiz has the most tekkers outta all of them, but if it goes ball playing CB's Hummels takes it imo.

Rio prime was pretty sick too.

by juventus101 Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:38 pm

Hummels is the best right now. A few years ago when Bayerns backline had Demichelis and Lucio, Demichelis was awesome at playing the ball out. Bonucci also deserves a mention.

I did vote others, never said it was a joke thread, everyone is in there, just i thought Lucio was excluded.

And yes, i might be biased, but I've seen Lucio play fantastically with the ball at his feet, when Mourinho was here he always told him to make forward runs and its not rare for him to dribble forwards in dangerous spots.

by Pedram Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:58 pm

Hummels win this one.

by Eivindo Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:31 pm

TS easy.. can dribble 3 people and give a 50 meter pass like that

by punkfusion1992 Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:36 pm

Thiago Silva walks this poll

by Freeza Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:39 pm

Agger is top notch in this category, he is amazing on the ball and a great defender, the injuries though... Mad

Also Hummels is amazing on the ball also.
Don't want to say luiz, he isn't really a defender yet more like an attacker player in the defense to make fans by dribbling

Umm Lucio has been doing that since Leverkusen and did it at Bayern as well. I think you're worshipping Mourinho a bit too much there >.>

That's cause Demichelis was a DM, got lazy and wanted to be CB.

Hummels wins this imo as ball-playing CB.

by Babun Thu Dec 01, 2011 10:01 pm

Adit, he is my ball playing DM eco smile

by buddytaller Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:03 pm

I rarely watch Hummels, but seriously, is he that better on the ball than Luiz? Luiz may be a poor defender but there's no doubt about his technical abilities, his goal against United last season was certainly one to be envied by the world's best strikers, maybe Chelsea should try him in a more attacking role.

by Ganso Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:06 pm

luiz would do a better job than any chelsea ST tbh

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:07 pm

Hummels > Luiz
