Don't you mean in your humble opinion?

No buddy

 

[orly]

Agreed or jags, possibly yobo

Agreed

 

[TommyDavo]

Agreed

Also Mountfield, Keown even Psycho when he went in there

He's not even yet as good as Stones, Lescott or Distin were

He is already a better defender than Stones.

 

[Cameron Manning]

I would like to think that he will be one of our great Post War Centre-halves following in the huge footsteps of: T.G. Jones, Brian Labone, Kevin Ratcliffe & Dave Watson. I can think of another half a dozen who fall
just short of the Legends.

No chance of being another TG Jones, he was the best of the best, no disrespect to Ben, who has been a great signing, but he is more like Dave Watson, a very good centre back, a tough nut who led by example, put his body on the line for the Blues and was also a great captain, I think Ben can be another Dave Watson and that will be more than enough for me.

Martin keown of Arsenal and martin keown of Everton were two different defenders. Matured more at arsenal. Better team aswell mind.

Keown was excellent in his last 18 months for Everton - and was in the England team when he left as well.

Yes, never thought of that when writing my post, they have got a couple of players now we might be interested in as well.

He wasnt regarded in the same way as at Arsenal. He really grew at Arsenal. I remember being at the tunnel end at wembley at the zenith data systems cup final( that was the Champions league equivalent, for any kids) and that was the day i think evertonians really took to him. Applauded off the pitch as he went off with a broken nose i think. He had a right battle with bright and wright that day.
Good at Everton. But made his name at arsenal really.

 

[bebo86]

Anyone think he will make the final 26?

 

[jazzy]

Anyone think he will make the final 26?

Only if Maguire is deemed too unfit to make the squad.

Haha

No
