Kaboul is probably not even our 5th best CB at the moment, and I'll be surprised if Vlad isn't a step up on Caulker.
I was in tears of laughter and simultaneously blood vessel fuming when I read someone on another forum saying Vlad would be good back up to Kab and JV at the start of the season. In what parallel universe do some people live in? All the info available today to people and he comes out with that gem.
No way will Jan and Kab start the season as our CBs. One will be our best defender and captain Dawson, and the other will be JV, Vlad or Caulker, depending on circumstances, etc.
