Poll: Who has been our best right-back in the post-Pleat caretaker era?

[diego_maradona]

Charlie all day everyday.

 

[Papercut]

Chimbonda was actually very good for a while.

Voted Charlie.

 

[Park Lane James]

Corluka was a solid performer for us over 3 or so seasons, but I don't mind Walker coming into the team as he is young, British and has a vast amount of potential.

 

[Lily White]

Definately Charlie for me.

 

[jts1882]

Corluka by a comfortable margin. Walker has potential to become better, but he would have to improve substantially.

I think the worst was Lee. I only mention it because I found it strange that a right-footed player was so much better as a left back.

 

[onlyme]

I am as amazed by the result of this poll as I was by HR not playing Corluka.
I bet the same people who were dissing Corluka are now switching to Hudd.

 

[Mumorn]

How can a player possibly peak at the age of 21?

Michael Owen could argue

 

[ledley's knee injections]

I have been of the opinion all along that we should never have sold Corluka, as he is and was a quality player. Still hold that opinion today. Voted for Charlie, and it's not even close.

 

[paxtonwolf]

I dont even think its a contest. Corluka will walk this poll for me

 

[billyiddo]

yes, Corluka every day of the week - why he isn't still here is a fudging mystery

 

[Spur of the moment]

Whenever he's played there Younis has been awesome at RB. But if were talking permanent RB it has to be Charlie.

 

[milo]

Chimbonda was actually very good for a while.

Agreed, he was excellent in his first season.

 

[GLENROYID]

Youre all pinheads.

Alan Hutton all day long

 

[glorygloryeze]

Youre all pinheads.

Alan Hutton all day long

 

[ArcspacE]

yes, Corluka every day of the week - why he isn't still here is a fudging mystery

Because he wasn't particurarly good and became increasingly found out as opposing teams figured out how to play against him - check-mate with a pawn in other words

Didier Zokora. Aston Villa away 2009.

End thread now please.

Easy, Corluka

 

[T Bone]

Corluka - in his first season with us.
Chimbomba - in his first season with us.
Walker - in his first full season with us...

say, there's a theme here....

 

[Jordinho]

Corluka - in his first season with us.
Chimbomba - in his first season with us.
Walker - in his first full season with us...

say, there's a theme here....

Sullivan in his first season, Robinson in his first season, Keller in his first season... from what I remember anyway. Gomes had one spectacular season as well, been almost useless since.

 

[Baleforce]

Agreed, he was excellent in his first season.

yep, i actually voted shimbomba, very impressive when he first arrived
