Aleksandar Kolarov

Tis an awful comparison. He was a rag..kolorov is blue through and through..best left back in the Prem..give this guy a break.he needs a rest after all the games he's played and just come back from injury.

I don't like to slag off City players, but this statement is laughable. He is nowhere near good enough for us. Best LB in the Prem? Not even close.

Cannot defend against a good winger, has one trick going forward, a meg followed by running into the player, and can kick it dead hard. Clichy is twice the player he is.

Pretty sure Pep will shift him on.

Fair play for sticking up for a blue, but he's not even the best left back at the club let alone the Premier League.

Depends on who we are playing. Some games I'd play Clichy. Most I'd play Kolarov

Kolarov is the best left back in the Premiership at the moment. He normally creates a lot going forward, but this season we have 1 striker and no midfielders in the box with the result that Kolarov can get forward all he likes and there's no one there to pull it back too

Best left back in the prem...........oh dear.
There's defending a player and then there's just being silly.


Hmmm...unless of course you are Sam Quint and I've been had?

We'll have to agree to disagree about this.......
Whilst I don't think he is as awful as some on here think he is, I wouldn't say he is the best LB in the league, not even close.
It's true he can put a good ball in and often there isn't enough options for him either but he also attempts shooting from 35 yards on a regular basis, usually resulting in goal kick (once the ball boy finally gets the ball back from the roof).
One other thing you forgot to mention was his defending... He is a defender by trade yet it's his biggest down fall. The only area of defending I would say he is any good at and probably better than Clichy is and that is defending the back post in the air, apart from that he offers nothing defensively!!

Monreal, Rose, Baines, Bertrand, Shaw, Azpiliqueta and Clichy, I would personally say are all better than Kolarov.

And winner of countless trophies and international caps.

Pep will move Kolarov on if he doesn't rate him and Zabba or Sagna too!

I'd happily see Kolarov and Sagna moved on, we can do better than both of those players and neither are home grown so take up valuable "foreign" spots in our squad. I'd keep Zabaleta though, I think he's still got something to add to the squad, he's not quite what he was 3 years ago but he's still worth a squad place. I'd use him in rotation with, or as backup to, a younger talented right back for another couple of seasons before letting him move on.

Clichy I'd only replace if the need for him to fill one of the home grown spots in the squad was no longer required. If he was "foreign" like Kolarov I'd be looking to offload him as well, but his home grown status gives him added value to us.

Also don't forget our defense mid players that go missing in action thus exposing both fullbacks. This guy puts a shift in and never goes missing.

I think we could improve at full back position, but I doubt we'd find better in the English game.

Than Kolarov?
I'm beginning to get suspicious about you Marvin...

I'll give you Luke Shaw. Azpilcueta was another fine full back, but he' not had a good season. After that name one. Please don't give me Ryan Bertrand. I have seen his name floating around before.
