Gallas is very solid player capable of playing any position in the defence,but most probably the best position for him is DC.Capello ,or whoever came after him if he leaves,must be aware tha Gallas won't extend his contract with Chelsea because Mourinho constantly uses him in the different positions in the defence and doesn't give him the definite place(Gallas stated his dissatisfaction with that).

DC? Gallas is weaker in defense than Thuram, IMO ... though he is certainly better at the wing back position than Thuram.

Sorry Greg, but I have to say Gallas is just as good as Thuram nowadays. Last season when Mourinho fielded Gallas and Terry at the back they went 8 straight matches without conceding a goal if I remember correctly. Gallas is superior in the air to Thuram, however the latter reads the game slightly better. Next year I have a feeling Gallas will be superior to the aging Thuram, therefore William would be an excellent signing indeed. Having Sagnol - Gallas - Cannavaro - Zambrotta at the back is easily the best defense on paper in the world.

Gallas was unhappy because he kept being played at LB when he wanted to play CB. Personally I think his best position is RB but he's more than capable of playing in the centre.

How old is Gallas these days? Don't get me wrong, I've long been a fan and have frequently picked him for CL and EPL fantasy teams of mine. But in the games I've seen him (and it hasn't been that many), I've felt his pure defensive skills weren't up there with the best in the EPL... let alone Serie A.

Chivu Gallas Sagnol are all good. Gallas will probably be better than Thuram come next year, right now they are almost balanced coz Thuram is just too wise of a defender.

Capello is creating the next Arsenal with his French connections. :D Sagnol and Gallas would be welcomed by Thuram and Trez, too bad Zebina can't say the same.

..

Since when does everyone considers Sagnol a world class defender?! To me, he's another Zebina who doesn't look stupid.
