Cantwell's best is better than anyone in the squad.
Danilo and Raskin have the potential to match him I think.

Poor at sheepvilleThink its a shame we have to name defenders instead of midfielders or forwards, but yes, Tav, and i’ll prob get shot down for this, Borna. He’s the best left back in Scottish football. And before you all get excited, im very critical of him, but under PC he looks rejuvinated.
Not a chance would Tav take Gary Stevens place in either Souness or Smith teamThe man who wears the white boots in my mind is still James. What a magnificent servant he's been. Take an old man's word he would a walked into any a Souness or Walter's teams nae problem.
When did Hagi ever look like a £30 million pound player,ffs.Aye. It wasnae too disimilar in the early 80's but ah sense a real deflation and its the transfer window and Beales shocking lack of judgement blowin it thats ta blame. Yous tell me when was the last time we had 15 million ta spend.Are any of the attacking options better than Lawrence or Kemar when he's playing? Ah dont wannae talk about Alfredo goin on a freebie but its take its toll.
I still hold hopes that Ianis can fulfill his potential and remain injury free. At one stage he looked a 30 million pound player
Cantwell has to knuckle down and obey managers instructions. He doesn’t realise how privileged he is. Or he just might soon if he gets punted in January.Cantwell when he's on it is miles ahead the rest. However he's either being dragged down by the dross he's playing with or he's scunnered with being played out of position.
The problem with what we can spend is there is not much difference in quality between the types of players We get they c will all have flaws 90% of the time.I don’t think it’s the supporters mindset. I also said Tav and caveated that by saying I’d sell him if I could! That’s genuinely how bad we are. Our current 3 best players wouldn’t even be in the team if we had the quality the money we have spent should have given us.
training is easy when you see the oppositionI bet in training it’s Lammers, has to be. Must be a reason he gets so many starts
That’s not even funny.Lammers for me.
I stand by were it not for a perfect storm of injury crisis and back to back trouncings by the scum and Ajax - 2 games that on any other day wouldn’t have had the same results - Gio would still be in a job. He was a good manager and knew what he needed to do but after those games all confidence was gone. I don’t think sacking him was the wrong choice - as I say the confidence was gone and wasn’t coming back - but the way it went under him was so unlucky. With a better DoF that could have been managed and we should never have been in the place he was put.The problem with what we can spend is there is not much difference in quality between the types of players We get they c will all have flaws 90% of the time.
You need to build a team that compensates for those flaws Gerrard did that we then needed quality to start to iron that out a little.
The problem is that we have recruited really badly on players that don't suit the team and we invested under gio and gave him less than a year they weren't really the players he wanted but we needed new players after seville
Beale the board were inept allowing Beale to sign the players he has with our a check ie a dof in place to question the signings Beale/ board have cost us millions.
That's part of what abouts me about the gio sacking he has to go but at end of season but he made us a fortune in el/cl/ bassey in comparison and we hooked him as an agm was coming up
And yet you suggest no alternative?All the 'Tav' replies are an indication of how far we have fallen. There is a new mindset amongst our supporters that second and mediocrity is ok. I find that hard to accept.

Tav is a right back who has broken nearly all scoring records (not just "for a defender" - he's nearing Ally's European tally now! Next stop Fredo!) Whilst also being part in a record breaking defence.
Appreciating Tav is not accepting mediocrity. It is celebrating an individual player who has been sensational for us over the years and who has NEVER been the weak link in our team. Our lack of silverware has not been due to James Tavernier letting us down or not showing up. That nonsense should have been put to bed years ago.
Our greatest ever right back without question in my head. Had he been with us in the days of Walter or Dick he'd have made that right back position his own and our teams would have been stronger for it. Porrini, Whittaker, Ricksen (RIP but he was never at his best there) all couldn't hold a candle to Tabs output!
had Messi playing in the team for much of this time. I'm not convinced it would have changed things much are you?Two winners medals in 8 years.
Did Jota look a £25 million player pal? FfsWhen did Hagi ever look like a £30 million pound player,ffs.
If Tav’s not your answer you’ve been watching with the lights off for 8 yearsIf Tavs the best then we need to turn the lights off
ThisWorryingly at the moment it is Tav and Lundstram. After that probably Borna. The fact I’ve been saying their time is up and they should be moved on for about a year now really tells us how dire things are!
So you reckon if Rodgers had signed Tav for the Bheggars and Warburton had went with the Lee Hodgson dream ticket, the Bheasts would only have 2 trophies in 8 years because Tav turns other players into losers just by breathing the same air?Two winners medals in 8 years.

A failure of the management teams to build better players around him and Goldson imoTwo winners medals in 8 years.

You just compared James Tavernier to John Greig. Let that settle in for a moment.John Greig went 10 years as Rangers captain, without winning a league title.
We've changed manager, we've changed the way our full backs play, could you change the record?
