  Without much doubt, perhaps one of the greatest defenders ever to play the game.
  
  There have been reports saying that the 37 year old is interested to return to the EPL.
  
  Question is at his age,
  
  Which club will be most suitable for him and do you think he is still good enough to play in the EPL?

  And help them concede more goals.

  To err is human. I don't remember him making many mistakes.

  That's right. According to the report, he says he is unsettled in the middle east and is interested in coming back to the EPL.
  
  I can understand why. Money might be good in the middle east, but the region is not exactly as attractive as London or Marseille. Besides, i think money is not the primary concern for Desailly. I'm sure he's quite well off in that area.

  Given the recent practise of signing older players, this could be a real possibility.
  
  Imagine a Hierro - Desailly partnership at the back.

  Blanc never got going in England. He joined Man U too late to try to adapt and play the English game.
  
  Desailly however, was a pillar in defence for chelsea for a couple of seasons.
  
  In that sense, you can't really compare Desailly to Blanc.
