Cahill had Laursen and Mellberg in his way and didn't want to stay as a reserve, £5mill was ok at the time.  With hindsight it would have been nice if he had stayed, but I don't think currently he is any better than Dunne, Mellberg, never mind Laursenpre retirement.  Clark is a bit like Cahill/Phil Jone, good footballer but with a bit to leanr playing cenre half, he will eventually become a top centre half imo though.  Cuellar imo is marginally better than Collins so is unfortunate not to get more game time, but hey ho, i dont lose any sleep over it as I think there is very little between them.

Carlos has never had a long enough run in central defence to determine his true worth.   I would say he probably equal at least to Dunne but with Collins distrubution.

That's the thing, Carlos never plays centre half unless Collins is injured.

I can't understand why in the last 2 years, there's never been an occasion where Carlos and Dunne have played 10 straight games together with Collins firmly glued to the bench, it's always the other way round which completely baffles me.
