You're kidding me right..you would, hand on heart, rather those two pairings than JT and Cahill??? We have conceded 11 less goals than Liverpool this season, 6 less than Utd. Man City and Arsenal are close by a few goals. We are the only team in the top 6 that doesn't need to sure up its defense this transfer window. I agree when you say that we have one more season left then we'll have to strengthen ourselves. This season we have conceded 10 less goals then Utd when they won the league 2 years ago, 6 less than title winning Man City last year. We only conceded 27 goals last season!! 10 less than first place Man City. I also agree when one player can be worth more than 5, we saw that with liverpool. However, we have the best defense in the league, hands down.
