Ledley King retires

So sad to hear this

Good luck in retirement King! I won't forget you, and all you've done for Spurs, being such a loyal servant to the club despite your injuries.

Potentially one of the best CB's in this generation, if not for injuries. The man was an absolute rock at the back. Surely better than JT ( ) and Rio when he was fit.

King

Seriously?

At his best before his injuries, nope.

lol. Cmon, man...

Anyways...he was a great defender.

Terry: "Andy Carroll is the toughest striker I've ever faced"

Messi: "Theo Walcott is one of the most dangerous players i've ever faced"

When uninjured & in his prime,he shitted over Terry. I like Terry,he's a decent player but both Rio & King in their peak were in a different level.

Ledley King was awesome.

And in any case John Terry despite being a good defender can only make it in Italy or England and can truly never ever be No.1 in the world(applies to King as well) because he is a rubbish passer. You cant have handicapped players like that with 0 technical/passing abilities

He saw yellow 8 times. Never saw red in his spurs career.

Legend.

He was an excellent player before his injuries started, there is no doubt about that but i don't know about him being better than Terry or Ferdinand, He could have been if he played as much as them two. No way of knowing that now

Ledley King was awesome.

Very good PL player. Agree.

And in any case John Terry despite being a good defender can only make it in Italy or England and can truly never ever be No.1 in the world(applies to King as well) because he is a rubbish passer. You cant have handicapped players like that with 0 technical/passing abilities

Terry has lead Europe in passing (among defenders) for 2 years straight now

He's a great passer. Stop talking about things you have absolutely no idea about.

People calling the Carling Cup a major trophy btw.

I would love to see him play along side the king, love both players, but I want him in Toronto fc so I can see him play more often.

I would have to become a supporter myself if that happened

Such a Shame. He could have been so much better.

I have always seen you as a poster who talks out of his you know what So I will give no importance to your comments.

If you want to talk about trophies then f***ing Altintop won the double & made CHL final with Bayern,Kalou won CHL.

Anyways MY a** has more credibility than the PFA award considering Gareth Bale(who although is a decent player) was PFA player of the season a season or 2 back.

I have 0 Respect for Fifa or Eufa teams,those were garbage. I remember when Robben single handedly carried Bayern to the finals he was not in the 11 whereas the season after that when he was injured for half the season he was in the team which was really stupid as well.

So I rate neither. I only rate what I see. John Terry despite limited technical abilities even for a defender was pretty good but King of Rio in their peak were simply awesome.

Considering Chelsea had what?? 1 League Titles & 0 CHL titles in their history it means you guys were born as Football Fans when Oil Money got pumped into your club.

So I dont expect class or basic footballing knowledge from a Chelsea fan anyway.

I would go on slamming that silly overused nonsense but I've done that too many times. Not worth my time.

On to the real topic; you saying Terry "can only make it in Italy or England and can never truly be No.1 in the world" is laughable. First of all, JT is clearly past his prime so I don't see the need to see "can never be xyz". He's not going to reach new heights at his age. Secondly, he was never really the No.1 defender in the world in his prime but he certainly was a top 3 CB(top 5 at the very least), something King cannot boast of. Again, why would JT need to leave England? The PL is the best league in the world atm and has been a top 3 league for the past decade. You say JT is a rubbish passer? Please take a look at No.7 @ 1:05


I can show you more videos of his passes that have led to goals if you want.

Besides, talking about technical abilities for a defender like its some sort of priority is quite silly. Stop talking bollocks when you're not actually sure of what you're saying.

I rate Technical Abilities for a Defender. Minimum technical Abilities for me is a basic criterion like it is Netherlands or at Barca/Spain. I have always believed the attack starts from the back.

You are intelluctually obviously not at that level which is why i totally understand your pent up frustration.

Obviously since you are intellectually at a somewhat inferior level this will obviously appear as Bullocks to you. So No issues,I totally understand and dont want to drag this topic.
