scott dann vs cristian zapata vs gary cahill...

Which defender do you guys prefer and why?

Seems like we are in for dann but is he good enough?? is he good enough for champions league when we get into that next season??

don't know a lot about zapata but he sounds very good. not a massive fan of cahill but everyone else seems to be a fan of his so he must be doing something right and I'm not too sure about dann. imo we haven't been linked with the right quality of defender so far this summer (early days though) im still hoping we sign sakho or subotic. out of those 3 i'd go with cahill

Defo not Dan although I like the idea of a die hard red playing for us, on skysports they had a stat comparison between the top English cb's in the league, and Dan was quite low in all the catgoraries, in fact Dawson was quite high up.
Cahill was better stat wise and seems to have better technique on the ball thus his abilty to score quite a few goals in the opposition box using his feet when the ball richosases about.

The dark horse is Zapata, because bascially no one watches Seria A or Columbian national team with that in mind we'll finally have a player who is versatile along every position in the back 4 which we haven't had since Arbeloa.

He's rated extremely highly by everyone a season or two ago but since then has gone under the rug a bit so much so that no one even linked him to us or anyone this season.
Udinese got champions league places this season so he must of played well but my problem is he's Columbian and he may have massive problems settling in, such that if we have any injuries to Carra or Skrtel he wouldn't be ready to start for us at max perfromace say till January. Of course if he can speak english already then happy days as with our south american contingent he has more of a chance of settling quicker then.

Out of all of them would go for Zapata with the idea for the start of next season him starting as one of the number 1 cb's. But our form at the start of this season my be bad if we get injuries to our main cb's and he has to play so it's a risk for this season but long term a good buy.

Don't know much about zapata but Cahill for me is a top class defender and premier league proven.

Haven't seen Zapata but out of Dann or Cahill, I would pick Cahill.

Scott Dann, only because we know that every time he pulls on the shirt he will give his heart and soul for the club Carragher style.

Sign them all up, that way the only issue we'll be picking which ones to play. Far easier than picking which ones to sign lol

I've seen Zapata play a few times and he looks very solid. Sakho I have never seen play but people (the youtube fraternity?) speak highly of him. Subotic has already blown us out, so we can forget about that.

From what I have seen there's very little to choose between subotic and zapata but my IF subotic was our first choice then it's a shame we're having to lower our sights.

id pick cahill out of them 3 only player ive properly watched but im hoping to see abit of zapata in the copa america give me a reason to watch

These 3 defenders have their strength of their own but does anyone one of them have the attributes of one of our legend Sami Hyypia. Not only is he solid at the back , he is dangerous in attacking setpieces too. All these 3 guys have that attributes but do they have the best attribute of Hyypia : Cool under pressure and perfect positioning...
