David De Gea – Manchester United from Atletico Madrid (Nike T90 Laser III)

The young Spanish stopper has had a rocky start to his Old Trafford career. There is no doubt that De Gea is an excellent shot stopper but seems to struggle with shots from distance and the physical side of Premier League football. If he can bulk up  and dominate his area better United will have an exceptional keeper on their books.

John-Arne Riise – Fulham from Roma (Adidas AdiPure IV)

We all know John-Arne well form his time at Liverpool. A few of us here are big fans of Riise (well his left really) and reckon he will be a great signing for Fulham as he arrives with plenty of experience and therefore will take no time at all to adapt.

Scott Dann – Blackburn Rovers from Birmingham City (Adidas Predator X)

Scott Dann’s inclusion is perhaps a little bit of a cheat as the big defender was in the Premier League last season but, with Birmingham City now playing in the Championship, Dann is theoretically signed from a non-Premier League club… The England defender will be a great signing for Blackburn Rovers – who just managed to escape relegation themselves last season.

Per Mertesacker – Arsenal from Werder Bremen (Adidas Predator X)

Arsenal have made a few (much needed) late signings but the best one must surely be Mertesacker. The German international will add copious amounts or experience and solidity in the heart of Arsenal’s defence.

Andre Santos – Arsenal from Fenerbahce (Nike CTR360 Maestri II)

Santos is actually a left-back we needed a right-back and had him and Riise. Is he going to prove to be a good signing for Arsenal? Look, he is a Brazilian attacking fullback… Do they make bad ones?

Chris Eagles – Bolton from Burnely (Adidas AdiZero)

Eagles is another player who has had a year in the Premier League. Well he has actually been around the Premier League awhile having gone through the Manchester United youth setup. Eagles has pedigree and once he finds his feet at Bolton could prove to be a great signing for the Trotters.

Juan Mata – Chelsea from Valencia (Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III)

Mata can e deployed as a winger or as a playmaker and arrives at Chelsea with huge potential – he is one of the early odds on favourite bets for ‘signing of the summer’. Mata has already scored on his debut for the club and we expect the little maestro to have a major impact on the Premier League

Owen Hargreaves – Manchester City from Manchester United (released) (Nike CTR360 Maestri II)

Hargreaves is even more of a cheat than Dann but having appeared once in the last 2 years we feel that Hargreaves if pretty much a new player to the Premier League. Hargreaves is becoming a true underdog story and we really hope he can stay fit and return to his best – England could really do with his help come Euro 2012! We should also make mention of the fact that he has crossed the road to join the ‘noisy neighbours’.

Royson Denthre – Everton from Real Madrid (Nike T90 Laser III)

Royson is an exciting left winger/fullback and we look forward to seeing him in action for the Toffees. It is also great to see that Everton actually spent some money (although Denthre is a loan deal). The loss of Arteta to Arsenal will be a blow but Denthre’s attacking prowess will help fill the void left by the Spaniard.

Gervinho – Arsenal from Lille (Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III)

Another of Arsenal’s new recruits, Gervinho looked sharp and a real handful when he made his Premier League debut. A red wasn’t the best way to win over fans but we think that once the Ivorian has settled down and learnt to play with the rest of his teammates he will prove to be money well spent.

Sergio Aguero – Manchester City from Atletico Madrid (Let’s see… currently black-out Puma V1.11)

Sergio Aguero announced his arrival in the Premier League with a brace on his debut. Aguero is our front runner for ‘signing of the summer’ and could be the missing ingredient that Manchester City has been looking for. We will have to wait and see what happens with his boot choice however. An ex-Nike wearer, Aguero has worn multiple Adidas boots but currently wears black-out Puma V1.11 boots.

The Nike Tiempo Legend is one of the most well known football boots available. It has recently had to deal with the rise of Adidas’ AdiPure, Puma King and now the Umbro Speciali but it remains a true contender in the touch boot market. As you can see by the team we have chosen it is also a boot that is happy in any position.

Strikers:
Carlos Tevez went over to the Blue side… and what an impact he has had! Manchester City have come to rely on Tevez as much as United rely on Rooney. It is a pity the two of them can’t play together anymore.
Carlton Cole has been an immense plus for West Ham. The English striker has forced his way into Fabio Cappelo’s England plans with his fine performances.

Midfielders:
Joe Cole. We actually prefer the Chelsea midfielder on the left. Since his return from injury he has been deployed more centrally. With the likes of Gerrard and Lampard available for England, left wing is an easier spot to secure.
Jermain Jenas hasn’t had much luck with injuries this season. The Spurs midfielder has good pace and vision and can be a threat from anywhere on the pitch.
Darren Flecther’s stock has risen recently. The Scottish captain has become one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most important players. A strong combative midfielder.
Ji-Sung Park is another player Fergie seems to pick when the ‘big’ games come around. The Korean’s work rate energy levels make him a useful player to have on the pitch.

Defenders:
Javier Garrido is in his 3^rd year at the City of Manchester Stadium but has found it hard to secure a regular place in the City 11. Since the arrival of Roberto Mancini, his appearances seem to be increasing– as are his performances.
Steven Mouyokolo was being tracked by Arsenal before he left Boulogne to join Hull City. His only goal for Hull came against Chelsea in a 1-1 draw on 2 February 2010.
Vincent Kompany has been a valuable member of the Manchester City squad thanks to his versatility. His pace and strength have been an asset both when playing in defense or midfield.
Juliano Belletti looks to be on his way out of Chelsea. The Brazilian right back has a dangerous long range shot and has seen himself deployed as a defensive midfielder as well as a right winger.

Goal Keeper:
Tim Howard is one of the best keepers in the league at the moment. The ex-Manchester United stopper has been brilliant between the sticks for Everton. He will hope that the USA national team can find similar form come the World Cup.

Who do you think should be part of the Tiempo Legend XI?

See our AdiPure, T90 Laser, Predator, Vapor/Superfly, Puma, CTR360 and Umbro XI here:

Names such as Lampard, Kaka and Alonso are synonymous with Adidas AdiPure boots. The beautifully crafted leather upper provides you with an excellent touch and supreme comfort. Usually found on the feet of midfielders and playmakers, the AdiPure series are now in their third incarnation. We struggled to find a striker in the Premier League who wears AdiPure boots as well as a keeper. We got lucky with Kevin Davies who likes the original AdiPure boots but had no joy with finding a keeper.

So who gets into The Right Winger’s dream AdiPure  XI?

Strikers:
Kevin Davies has had a lot said about him recently. He is one of the most fouled forwards in the Premier League. This is because his strength and height is such a danger in and around the six yard box. Referred to often as an ‘old-school’ centre forward, Davies relies on his strength to out muscle his opponents and create goal-scoring opportunities.

Midfielders:
Frank Lampard as we said, is well known for wearing AdiPure boots. Seen these days in the new White/Gold AdiPure III boots, Lampard is the definition of an attacking midfielder. Lately his brilliant club form has begun filtering into the England set up where he was often criticized.
Michael Arteta’s return from injury has been a great boost for Everton. The Spanish playmaker has been in sparkling form since returning. Mostly employed out wide, Arteta can play down each flank or down the middle. He is also a dead ball specialist.
Jimmy Bullard makes Hull a different team. Another player who’s club has suffered while he hung around in injury rehab. Bullard suffered a major injury scare to his knee but has come back on fire. Rumours link him with a move away. Newcastle is the possible destination for the renown funny man of the Premier League.
Gareth Barry has been a main stay in the England set up. Some think that is only because Owen Hargreaves has injury problems. Even if that was true, Barry’s performances warrant him a place in the side. Since his (controversial) move to Manchester City, Barry has gone from strength to strength. He is happy in the holding midfield role or even at left back.
David Bentley has proved us all wrong. A big thank you goes to Aaron Lennon for getting injured. If not for the diminutive Spurs winger, Bentley would never have had the opportunity to polish his star. The ex-Blackburn winger has been a revelation since getting some game time for Spurs. An outcast a few months ago, Bentley could (and should) be a surprise inclusion in England’s World Cup squad.

Defenders:
Fabio Aurelio is a free-kick master. The Brazilian left back has had an unlucky time of it with injuries. A fully fit Aurelio would be a fixture in the Liverpool side. A great defender and skilled attacker, Aurelio is happy at both left back and left wing.
Danny Gabbidon is yet another player who could have a much bigger number next to his appearance column had it not been for injuries. Gabbidon’s presence in West Ham’s back four is certainly good news for the Hammers, despite the torrid time they are going through.
Ricardo Carvalho is pure class. The Chelsea defender is regarded as one of the wiliest centre backs in the game by many. The Portuguese star has formed a formidable partnership with Chelsea skipper John Terry.
Phil Neville is another player who could surprise many (probably even himself) by getting on the plane to South Africa. England have problems at right back and the ex-Manchester United full-back is in solid form. The Everton skipper has been a rock for the Merseyside club over the years and has actually played more games than his brother.

Goal Keeper:
Brad Friedel. We couldn’t find a goalkeeper wearing AdiPure boots in the Premier League so we asked the big Aston Villa stopper to stand in goal for us. The American number 1 is a big Predator fan.

Who do you think should be part of the AdiPure XI?

See our T90 Laser, Predator, Vapor/Superfly, Puma, CTR360 and Umbro XI here:

The Vapor/Superfly XI is our second last Nike XI team. Nike have recently released the newest version of their immensely popular Vapor and Superfly range. We had a plethora of choice for the wide positions and up-front as the Vapor/Superflys, thanks to their light build, are a favourite amongst attacking players. It was a little harder to find defenders who wear them. After searching high and wide we think we have found a pretty solid back four to compliment the attacking prowess of our forwards.

So who gets into The Right Winger’s dream Vapor/Superfly  XI?

Strikers:
Didier Drogba is one of the most recognizable Superfly wearers in the Premier League. The big Ivorian striker has had a great campaign. He  is currently the league’s second top scorer with 22 goals to his name. His pace and strength is a continuous threat to defenses.
Gabriel Agbonlahor is developing into one of the best strikers in England. The Aston Villa forward has blistering pace and has begun to add to that a very good football brain. His strength enables him to take on defenders and at just 23 years of age he has a long and bright future ahead of him.

Midfielders:
Andrei Arshavin had bids from both Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona turned down by Zenit St Petersburg. The Russian dynamo eventually went to Arsenal. And what a player they got. Arshavin has become one of the Premier League’s best wingers. Pace, skill and a deadly boot means Arshavin can be a threat from anywhere on the pitch.
Luka Modric is not the biggest player in the Premier League. The Croatian playmaker stands just over 5 ft 8 but his stature makes up for his lack of height. His passing ability and speed with the ball at his feet has seen him become a sought after player. Rumours have linked him with the likes of Manchester United. At the moment he plays for Spurs, and boy does he play well.
Danny Murphy. We thought long and hard about who we would partner with Modric in the centre of midfield. In the end we decided to go with the Fulham captain. Danny has worn many different boots but seems to have settled (for now) on the white/black/pink Vapors. Like Giggs and Scholes, Murphy hasn’t let his age rob him of quality.
Aaron Lennon may be injured at the moment but he is still a TRW favourite. Our opinion is that Lennon should be England’s first choice right winger. His pace and trickery leave defender’s heads spinning. He has added quality crosses into his armory as well.

Defenders:
Paulo Ferreira hasn’t had much game time recently with Chelsea. Paulo is usually a right back or centre back but has done the job for Chelsea at left back and finds himself there for us. The Portuguese player could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge in the summer.
William Gallas knows what it is like to leave Stamford Bridge. He landed up at Arsenal and proved he still has quality. Gallas is quick on the ground and good in the air.
Christopher Samba could be slightly underrated. The giant Blackburn centre back has been very impressive this season. Chris is surprisingly quick and nimble for such a big man (he is 6 ft 4).
Allan Hutton has impressed at Sunderland. The on-loan Spurs right back went to the Stadium of Light to get regular football. His good, consistent performances have caused Steve Bruce to consider signing him permanently.

Goal Keeper:
Manuel Almunia has a tough task if he ever wants to represent the Spanish national team. Casillas, Reina and Valdes all stand before him. That isn’t to say he doesn’t have what it takes to represent his country. Much has been made of the fact that he can be selected for the England side as well. Whatever happens, Almunia is a tall, good shot stopping, quality keeper.

Who do you think should be part of the Vapor/Superfly XI?

See our T90 Laser, Predator, Puma, CTR360 and Umbro XI here.

What a strike partnership we have in this XI! A Manchester United powerhouse and Merseyside Spaniard. It will never happen. But we can dream about it! It doesn’t stop there however. A solid back four, some great attacking wingers and midfielders makes this dream XI a real force. The new T90 Laser III are real eye-catchers. Our XI won’t be boring to watch either.

So who gets into The Right Winger’s dream T90 Laser XI?

Strikers:
Wayne Rooney is showing maturity. Why do we say that as our opening line? Much of the criticism that has been leveled against Rooney revolves around his ‘red mist’ and young age. Well this season is shutting everyones mouths. Rooney is adding facets to his attack daily it seems, as he becomes a world great.
Fernando Torres is a Kop hero. The Spanish striker’s pace and power makes him a continuous threat. Fernando is one of those strikers who can form a chance out of nowhere. Lets hope his injury problems get sorted out.

Midfielders:
Ryan Babel has pace, a great left foot and attacking intent. He hasn’t quite proved to be the force many thought he would be on his arrival at Liverpool. We believe there is plenty of untapped potential here however. The question is can anyone get it out?
Paul Scholes is a living (or playing) legend. 100 goals in over 400 Premier League games proves how good he is. His 35 year old legs don’t carry him as fast as they used to and and Scholes finds himself playing a little deeper these days. He can still pick a pass!
Michael Essien. What more can be said about the Ghanaian midfield enforcer. I don’t think there is a club in the world who don’t wish they could pick him in their XI. Power, speed, strength and accuracy, add to that an African heart and you have an unstoppable, game-winning dynamo.
Julien Faubert didn’t impress anyone when he was on loan at Real Madrid. However, since his return to West Ham, Faubert has shown just how much he has to offer. And now people are impressed. Usually deployed at right back, Julien’s pace, attacking prowess and good crossing ability sees him move forward to the wing for us.

Defenders:
Patrice Evra is arguably the best left back in the Premier League. His obvious challenger is Ashley Cole. Both are fast, tricky, attacking and cleverly defensive full backs. A main stay in the United back four, Evra seem to be immune to injuries.
Rio Ferdinand has had a tough year. Out for a long time with a niggling back injury as well as a suspension, he is now back. His back problems seem to be sorted and with the England armband being passed onto him, Rio will want to show just how good he is come World Cup time.
Martin Skrtel is a hard-tackling and tough centre back. A perfect match for Rio Ferdinand who is used to having Vidic and Terry next to him. The Liverpool defender has also struggled with injuries lately. He will look to put that behind him and help Liverpool push for that Champions League spot.
Branislav Ivanovic Has been brilliant for Chelsea. The versatile Serbian has taken command of their right flank. He has been a stand out performer for the Blues this season and we believe deserves more credit for the job he is doing.

Goal Keeper:
Marcus Hahnemann is perhaps slightly underrated. Hanging out behind the Wolves defense is never going to be an easy job. The big American does a good job however. The fact that he is one of the only keepers to wear T90 Lasers means he gets to play alongside some pretty good players and a great back four.

Who do you think should be part of the T90 Laser XI?

See our Predator, Puma, CTR360 and Umbro XI here.

Umbro have been on the football scene for years. In fact they are the oldest football brand around. With the release of their newest incarnation of the Speciali as well as the launch of the England kits, Umbro’s star is beginning to shine again. The recent release of their new speed boot, the Stealth Pro is seeing Umbro propelled back to the top of the football boot and apparel pile. The Manchester-based firm are reinventing themselves. Maybe a little ‘Thank you Nike’ is appropriate at this moment. Don’t be surprised if this Umbro XI is overflowing with superstars in year or two.

So who gets into The Right Winger’s dream Umbro XI?

Strikers:
Michael Owen is out for the season but in the short moments we have seen him don a United shirt, he has been impressive. He will probably never be as good as he used to be but Owen still has a lot to offer both United and football as a whole. We hope for a relatively injury free 2010/11 season for Owen
Darren Bent has seen his stakes rise since his move to Sunderland. Whether or not he has done enough to get himself a plane ticket to South Africa remains to be seen however. We think he could form a very good partnership with Michael Owen.

Midfielders:
Kieran Richardson has shown promise since a young age. Richardson has spoken about the fact that his preferred position is ‘in the hole’ just behind a striker. The versatile left-footer has seen himself at left wing and left back but seldom ‘in the hole’. We are counting on his accurate left foot to provide good aerial balls for our strikers to latch onto.
Deco arrived from Barcelona with much promise. In a midfield with so many options and stars Deco was never going to have an easy job. Despite that he is one of the consistently picked players in Chelsea’s diamond.
Andy Reid helps add to the Sunderland flavour of this XI. Combative and strong, Andy has been a stalwart for both Sunderland and Ireland.
Geovanni has to play slightly out of position for us. The Hull City midfielder fills in at right wing for us. Usually an attacking midfielder, Geo, almost single handedly kept Hull in the Premier League last season.

Defenders:
Steven Warnock thought he may be on his way to South Africa when Ashley Cole pulled up injured and Wayne Bridge retired from international football. It seems that he has been beaten by Leighton Baines however. A solid defender with good pace and great left foot, Steven’s chance will come again.
John Terry is probably the biggest ‘star’ in our Umbro X1. The ex-England captain has a lot to prove off the field. On it however he is still one of (if not the best) defenders in Europe.
Michael Dawson is perhaps a little underrated. The Tottenham man has been solid week in, week out for the London club. At just 26 Michael still has plenty of years ahead of him and we expect him to start making some more England appearances.
Ryan Shawcross put Aaron Ramsey into hospital with a rash challenge. That is by no means his style however. Groomed at Manchester United, the Stoke City defender starts at right back for us. Another young man with a bright future.

Goal Keeper:
Joe Hart, on form, is the best English goal keeper at the moment. He is in fact currently one of the best in the Premier League. He is young, fast and strong. His ability to pull off outstanding saves makes him a brilliant shot-stopper. The England number 1 spot is his to lose.

Who do you think should be part of the Umbro XI?

See our Predator, Puma and CTR360 XI here.

The release of the Nike CTR360 seems to have revolutionized the midfield. It is not just the men in the middle who are wearing this ground-breaking boot however. More and more players seem to be moving across to the CTR. Players such as Joe Cole and Heurelho Gomes have been spotted in them. The likes of Ashley Cole and Alessandro Diamanti can’t seem to take them off. Making up our XI was suprisingly difficult. Who do you pick in the midfield with so many options available? There are not a plethora of options in goal or upfront however. Despite that we think we have a pretty formidable team here.

So who gets into The Right Winger’s dream CTR360 XI?

Striker:
Landon Donovan saved the day for us as he can play up front. The on-loan American has been a massive hit on the Merseyside. Everton have spoken about their desire to keep him longer but it does seem that a return to the USA is the mostly likely thing to happen. Pity!

Midfielders:
Alessandro Diamanti has been impressive for West Ham. With a shortage of out and out strikers wearing CTR360’s, we packed another attacking midfielder into the middle. It would be fun to watch his link-up play with Cesc Fabregas.
Cesc Fabregas is the player Nike built the launch of the CTR360 around. For that reason alone he needs to be in this side. We won’t forget that he is in fact seriously good as well though.
Javier Mascherano has been one of Liverpool’s most consistent performers over the past couple of years. Gerrard and Torres usually get the glory but Javier has been just as important. He can have a rush of blood to the head every now and then however.
James Milner has seen his star rise at a rapid rate recently. Rated by many as a future England captain, Milner has enjoyed most of this season playing down the middle for Aston Villa. His versatility is his greatest strength as he is comfortable at right back, on either wing or down the middle.
Florent Malouda has been a revelation at Chelsea. Arguably one of the Blues’ best players this season, Malouda has pace to burn and a powerful shot.

Defenders:
Ashley Cole was once a great F50 wearer before his contract ran out. He was then seen in Puma V1.08 boots before the release of the CTR360. He is currently out with an injury and plagued with back page scandal. Despite it all he remains England’s best left back, by far.
Joleon Lescott’s move to Man City wasn’t a smooth one with Everton left feeling most aggrieved. His City career has been stunted by some injury problems. He isn’t England’s first choice centre-back but his performances deserve him a spot in the squad.
Daniel Agger is another player who has been unfortunate with injuries. The Liverpool defender certainly seems to be Rafa’s first choice when he is fit. We at The Right Winger are big fans of the young Dane.
James Collins has been brilliant for Aston Villa. He is actually a centre-back but we felt he could do a good job at right-back. A good old fashioned, no-nonsense defender.

Goal Keeper:
Ben Foster. We struggled to find a keeper that wears CTR360 on a frequent basis. Foster seems to be the only one really. Foster is another player we have a lot of time for. With more game time and a few confidence boosters we believe he has what it takes to be both Manchester United’s and England’s number 1.

The bench (or special mention):
Tom Huddlestone

Who do you think should be part of the CTR360 XI?

See our Predator and Puma XI here.

So who gets into The Right Winger’s dream Puma XI?

Strikers:
Nikolas Anelka’s career seemed to be slowly fading away as he fought for pride within a decent Bolton side before Chelsea came knocking. His partnership with Drogba has grown into one of the most deadly in the Premier League.
Peter Crouch has his fans and his haters. His lanky style is not everyone’s cup of tea. There is no doubting his ability however – especially when he has an England shirt on his back. We just wish he would bring back the robot!

Midfielders:
Michael Carrick is one of the most noticeable Puma wearers. A fixture in Manchester United’s midfield, Carrick has the ability to thread the ball through the smallest gap. A true pass-master who chips in with the odd goal.
Tomas Rosicky recently joined the Puma group and what a player he is. His best is still hidden below a lack of match fitness after being out for a lengthy period. His attacking brilliance was sorely missed at Arsenal.
Emmanuel Eboue epitomises who Puma is: strong, fast, determined, skillful and African. Africa is Puma’s second home and the Ivory Coast star feels right at home in his v1.10 boots. Comfortable both out-wide at right wing or right back.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. Don’t ask us to pronounce that but the young Russian is certainly making a name for himself on the Merseyside. A cracking goal against Manchester United showed just how seriously you should take his left foot.

Defenders:
Vedran Corluka has seldom missed a game for Spurs. The Croatian right back is solid on both attack and defense. Missing out on the World Cup will be a blow for us as we lose out on watching him and his fellow countrymen on African soil.
Nemanja Vidic is a powerhouse. Rumours are rife that he will be on his way come the summer. Whatever happens, Manchester United owe the big Serb a debt of thanks.
John Mensah hasn’t been a regular for Sunderland since his arrival on loan from Olympique Lyonnais. A calf injury and the African Cup of Nations have limited his chances for the Black Cats. When he is available his strength is a great asset for both Sunderland and Ghana’s defense.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto had to see off stiff competition from Gareth Bale for Spur’s left back position. He soon made it his own however and only the African Cup of Nations and an injury have kept him out of the side. He is smooth, calm and a great crosser.

Goal Keeper:
Shay Givan is probably the best piece of business Manchester City did. With so many high-profile players being brought in, Given was slightly less glamorous. The Irish keeper has consistently been one of the best in the Premier League however. He is a natural shot-stopper.

Who do you think should be part of Puma’s XI?

Strikers:
Dimitar Berbatov hasn’t been as big a hit at Old Trafford as some would like but his classy touch and silky skill can leave any defense wrapped around themselves.
Robin Van Persie is possibly the best striker in the Premier League. Often over looked because of the exploits of Torres, Rooney and the like, Van Persie is any defenders’ nightmare. Pace, power and hunger – a deadly combination.

Midfielders:
Steven Gerrard is pure class. Deny it all you want but Liverpool are a different side when their captain isn’t around. His powerful long range shots are a continuous threat.Gerrard never accepts defeat. He lives by the motto: ‘never say die’!
Anderson arrived with a big price tag but has perhaps failed to prove his worth consistently so far. He is still young and will master his trade in time. His energy enables him to cover kilometers while his tackles and passes can break down and launch attacks.
Antonio Valencia is fast. Any defender fears pace (except maybe Ashley Cole) and Valencia has bags of it. A good crosser and a tricky customer, he has recently found some scoring form after hardly finding the back of the net for Wigan.
Niko Kranjcar was one of Harry’s favourites at Portsmouth and a move to White Heart Lane wasn’t a surprise. Perfectly complimenting Aaron Lennon, Niko has quickly become a white hot, White Heart favourite.

Defenders:
Micah Richards is strong, fast and hard. Although often deployed in central defense, we think that his best position is right back. Great going forward and tough to get past at the back, Micah could be England’s future.
Jamie Carragher is a Liverpool legend. Those legs may not be what they used to be but you won’t see him giving up easily. He maybe hasn’t had the best season (compared to last season) but he is still as solid as a tower.
Thomas Vermaelen came out of nowhere to be the darling of the Emirates. A defender who can score is not an everyday discovery. Arsène Wenger has a way of discovering gems. Thomas is one of his best finds.
Leighton Baines is not the first name that springs to mind when you think of left backs. The Everton fullback is in sparkling form after a slow start on Merseyside. A great crosser and solid defender. Ashley Cole’s injury could see Leighton receive an England call up.

Goalkeeper:
Edwin Van Der Sar just keeps going. At 39 you may think his best is behind him. That theory is proved wrong every weekend when he dons the number 1 for Manchester United. Fergie must fear his retirement.
