Carlos Cuellar

[hawkeye]

The most consistant defender we have and one we might lose. I think our defensive record with him in the team proves that
1. We should keep him
2. He should keep his place based on form

[PeterWithesShin]

I just wish he would stop having the knack of being on the end of some our better chances. I'd fancy Shay to put over a decent cross or take a half chance more than I do Carlos. Ace defender though.

[Toronto Villa]

Something tells me that he'll be here next season. It's beginning to dawn on the club that he is the most competent CB. Richard Dunne's injury may have come as a blessing in disguise.

[Chipsticks]

He completely deserves to be starting for a Premier League club, and if we continue to hold out on renewing his contract, I wouldn't blame him for jumping ships to a club like Sunderland, Everton, Fulham etc.

[luke25]

If Dunne goes straight into the side when he's fit then there's something seriously wrong, I still don't know why Carlos was dropped last season after a collosal performance at Wolves.

[BC54 VFC]

Far, far better than the fat pie eater, and much less of a disruptive influence.

[Greg N'Ash]

Should be signed up asap. Easily the pick of the bunch out of dunne and collins and he's also a good influence to have round for the youngsters in the way he conducts himself. Letting him go now would be the height of folly considering how much a replacement would cost or worse still we went into next season with just Dunne, Collins and the kids. anywy from what i've read on here Mcleish knows he's our best defender so i'm hopeful we'll keep him if the club can get their arse into gear for once.

[darren woolley]

We really need the club to sort out a new contract for him because we don't want to lose him he's a top defender.

[hawkeye]

I have beeen pissed off with the treatment of Carlos, I dont think he has had a bad game at Centre back and yet has been dropped as soon as Collins or Dunne are fit.

[lovejoy]

I basically posted this on the Fulham post match thread. Cuellar needs to be signed up now he is our best centre back.

[villan from luton]

He is a good centre half IMO, totally agree with the comment re should never have been dropped after the Wolves game when Houllier compared him to Carragher, was nonsense. Plus he actually seems to love playing for the club, which is such a great bonus

[Dante Lavelli]

Too right we should keep him.

[SoccerHQ]

Far, far better than the fat pie eater, and much less of a disruptive influence.

Spot on.

And imagine how bad Dunne or Collins would be if they had to play as a full back!

Important we keep Carlos, he's the best defender we have at the club, certainly in terms of reading the game.

[not3bad]

You can see the improvement in Villa's defence since he's had a run at CB.

[Greg N'Ash]

yep. its becoming increasingly apparent where the "problem" was. Only took us 18 months and 3 managers to pinpoint it.
