No need to be sorry, you were misinformed/uninformed. That is perfectly acceptable. I understand completely.

Here's my complete defender (the attributes of modern day defenders only) :

-The experience of Maldini
-The tackling skills of Nesta
-The speed of Roberto Carlos
-The endurance of Puyol
-The aerial skills of Tudor
-The finesse of Cannavaro
-The technical ability of Thuram
-The leadership of Hierro

Feel free to add more attributes.
I would prefer the experience of Franco Baresi

And finese is something i will associate more with Nesta than Cannavaro who is anything but fine in the football playing sense he is more of a warrior

finese definitely has to go to Thuram IMO
Thuram is a thug, a graceful thug, but a thug at heart. Finese is an attribute that should be ascribed to defenders like De Boer, and Carsten Ramelow.

Don't you think that's a bit harsh, Ian? I certainly would consider Thuram in the finesse category..

Btw, you would agree Hierro is/was a thug, wouldn't you?

Yes hierro is a thug, but so is Thuram. He may have some ball skills, but when was the last time you saw him "finese" the ball away from somebody?

    Blanc had finesse, at least as much as defenders ever do.

    I remember one of his earlier games for Man U where an Everton striker, Campbell (big, strong, fast but not very skillful) recieved the ball in a counter-attack. Man U were over-stretched, trying to score a second (I think). Campbell raced past the last of Man Us defence, except for Blanc, who looked to be too slow, too late to make a differance. Blanc sauntered over, and tapped the ball from Campbell's toe, out wide for Silvestre to pick up. Campbell stopped dead, with a look of pure amazement and awe on his face.
