Who is the best without them rose tinted "shawcross is £20m" glasses.
Gotta be Smalling unlike some suggested on here in the summer, and doubted SAF judgment in the transfer market ;D

Smalling. He can kick a football to a player.
And he's younger.

Yeh, think you're right unfortunately. In a way Im glad Ryan isnt so amazing, more likely he'll stay here and grow with the club

Shawcross by far, and Shawcross is more experienced, a Premier League captain. Smalling is average, simply because he signed for Manchester United, he automatically got into the England squad. I don't rate him whatsoever.

Last few weeks Smalling has been putting in some very good performances, which is annoying because I didn't rate him ;D This is the closest he has come so far to actually deserving an England call up.
His places in the England squads previously however, were a joke.

Dont think you can compare unless they are in the same team. Different coaches will teach players different ways to play.
If Shawcross went back to United he would probably look a totally different player on the ball.

Shawcross is a brilliant defender and fantastic header of the ball but he'll never ever be a footballer even if he's coached by the best in the world. Give him the ball at his feet and he's gash. He's still better than Smalling who's just gash. |

Well this thread - Smalling vs Shawcross is what you're expressing your views on. So the fact that on such a thread you're saying that Smalling is shit suggests you think our very own Ryan is better. |

A shawcross what doesnt make stupid tackles around our box, and learns how to compose himself more and learn how pass would be better, but you cant really compare them, both young, still learning, both play in different teams who play different footballing styles, smalling plays for "man united" so hes amazing, and shawcross is a rugby player, didnt you know? Thats what arsene told me ;D
