Thiago Silva

On paper he is a bit on the short side for a CB ;)

Yeah he's just 6 ft which is arguably short for a CB, doesn't look it.. but then again it hasn't hurt Puyol or Baresi for that matter.. as if the latter was a mere 5ft 9/10.. wow.
 
Wasn't Joey Barton calling him fat and overrated....

Immense performance by him yesterday, such a classy defender. Best CB in the world for me and comfortably the best.

What could've been, shame Barcelona weren't able to close a deal on the defender but PSG came in with an enormous offer that the club couldn't compete with. Would've been perfect for the defense. The search continues but it'll be hard to find a player of his quality

He would of really improved your team at the back, looks the ideal defender for your lot. Such a shame you missed out ;)
 
Did he play in centre mid in both legs or was that some other game? He's improved since then but that must've been one of his rare off games even back then. Silly decision to play him there at any point really when he's so good at centre half.

He played cb vs us and cm vs spurs which cost milan that tie imo as lennon burned yepes for pace to set up crouch. He wasn't too bad vs us but Rooney was immense.
