Gary Cahill

[English Freak 456]

Indeed.

I get so pissed when people totally write Luiz off, especially in the PL. Just look at how he performed when he was paired with JT, a solid CB. They knew where they had eachother. Luiz+Cahill never was that good, mostly because they dont know exacly where they have eachother and they are both pretty young and all that compared to the likes of Iva and JT. Yet Luiz shows that he is world class, like today.

Plus he is versitile and can go forward aswell and take a CDM position when/if needed. That is actually an awesome asset.

I may come off as too harsh on Cahill and whatnot, but I seriousley rate Luiz alot higher than Cahill. With that said, I like them both.

Luiz needs a leader alongside him so that he can play well on a consistent basis...

And as for Cahill, he wouldn't be the starting CB for any title-chasing club.

I hope Chelsea are still interested in Marquinhos of Roma. I'm done with both Cahill and Ivanovich.

Can Marquinhos cope with the pysicality of the english game?He is small for a cb.

So the thing from the West ham match is more serious, even though he finished the match. Hopefully he'll be available against Soton in 10 days.

Just like Cole, he will be out for about 2 weeks or so after getting that injury before the INT break. Will miss games against Rubin Kazan(Home & Away), Sunderland(H), Man City(N) and Fulham(A) at the very least.

Apparently he had a minor operation according to Rafa. I know he said 2 weeks but I have a feeling it will be bit more.

Might mean we see a bit more of John Terry then.

Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill underwent surgery on a knee problem at the weekend.

Cahill, 27, has been absent since 17 March and missed England's matches against San Marino and Montenegro in March due to the injury.

Boss Rafael Benitez revealed Cahill had surgery on Saturday, 30 March.

"He had an operation. We did it very quickly on the Saturday of the Southampton game (March 30)," said the interim manager.

The Chelsea manager is hopeful that Cahill and fellow defender Ashley Cole, who has been struggling with a hamstring problem, are close to returning to action.

He added: "The feeling from both is really good."

Thank God, Bertrand is good but he is no Ashley Cole. The next run of games are soo important we just can't afford to be missing Cole.

Perhaps so but right now, we just need everyone back fit! Bertrand can still a do decent job anyway.

I agree, Bertrand is more than capable of doing a job but the one game that worries me is the Spurs game. We need Cole for that game.

True and think he should be back for the game since it won't be played so soon.

The most outstanding memory of Cahill I have is a beautiful goal he scored...for Bolton on the opening day on the 11/12 season...
