When King, Woody, Dawson, Kaboul, Gallas and Bassong are all fit, how the hell do you choose who to play??

Which two do you think are our best CB pairing at present (if fit)?

King, woodgate, gallas, Kaboul, Dawson, bassong if fit in that order. All brilliant :hump:

If 100% fit and in form, King and Woodgate, but I doubt that is ever going to happen. I'm interested to see what happens to both of those when the season ends, as I think I'm right, both their contracts are up?

King, Dawson, Woodgate, Gallas, Kaboul, Bassong, Caulker, Khumalo.

We should probably sell someone.

I think the time for asking who our best hypothetical centre back pairing is past us - we now have enough quality in the position that we no longer have to treat it like a contentious issue.

The bottom line is that Dawson and Gallas have been the most solid pairing this season (followed by Gallas and Kaboul) and should play together in all of the important game until injury, suspension or loss of form given Woody, King etc a chance to stake a claim.

I never ever thought I'd say this but right now I'd play Gallas +1

(Because King's been out for so long.)

I agree but the plus 1 would be King. I know Dawson has been awesome but Gallas is class IMO.

Can't believe I've said that but he has really impressed me
