Over 80 caps for his country, three league titles, part of the famous Invincibles. He's won more FA cups than any other player, two Champions League finals.
A quality defender who barely puts a foot wrong, good attacker as well. He has pace, can pass and he reads the game really well. I hate this fucker and me saying all this is making me sick but I can't stop it from being true.

No it isn't.
As much as you love the player Luke, and as much as he is the world's best LB at the moment, he doesn't compare to Roberto Carlos, Maldini, Breitner or Gordillo or other names I can think of.

As I said, Henry never compared to Pele, doesn't mean Henry was never world class.

It's not a matter of who's the best player at the time, world class is like an invisible category you have to pass which makes you great. Just because someone is best at the time does not mean they pass into the world class category. You could argue that if we bought someone from the 1920's who was world class and put him into todays modern game he would perish. Realistically though, the player from the 1920's was close to performing at his predecessors which gave him the category of world class is why he's called that.
If you put Cole in the 1920's he'd be world class but this is the modern game and he's just the best and what he's doing currently. Not world class but the best LB around

I don't agree with that. But anyway this thread is about Ashley Cole being the left back now which he is so /thread

In the modern day game most defenders from the past would be sent off in a matter of minutes every game.

Look at Van Bronckhorst for example. He is not too dissimilar to fullbacks of the past.

he also likes other premiership footballs to give him anal fun with mobile phones.
surely the title of 'best leftback' must go to mr patrice evra cos a) he has a sexy goatee, b) wears sexy gloves better than any other footballer, c) the big one.... he doesnt take it up the arse. If anything HE does the giving.

Lets put it this way Henry will be remember worldwide because of the kind of player he was, Cole will only be remembered in England.

No one said that he is not currently the best LB but it's funny that whenever people have the chance to pick 3 cbs instead of a LB he's out, but like I said Cole won't be remembered when he retires except in little England. Because he isn't that special like the English are saying.
