That's your comparision. Top 4/5 defences over 5 years? Versus what Cole's achieved. By your logic Victor Anichebe is better than Maradona because Maradona hasn't scored in the last ten years.
Yes that's exactly my logic. Well done.
Cashley is another one of those fucking half wit disruptive pricks England are famed for , when he's not molesting someone he's shooting some poor cunt on work experience with a fucking air rifle. He's achieved for his club fine. He's now 32 and his best years are behind him. Chelski pay him a fucking fortune and they still can't get him to keep his fucking trap shut. He's achieved exactly the same amount at international level as Baines. Fuck all. Every 2 years England take a bunch of over hyped shite hawks with more ego than ability to a championship and every single year without fail they have "issues" within the camp and get knocked out by a better team.
Baines is younger, scores more goals, better delivery, creates more chances and your point about not being a good defender is completely unfounded. And he seems like a quiet sound lad. Better than Cashley whatever way you look at it. Simple as that. I wouldn't let half of those cunts like Cole or Terry into my country let alone represent it.
