Difficult to judge any player ( Kos' and Squillaci ) during his first season, in a difficult league, at such a young age ( Kos' ), but if common sense is bypassed in order to have a dig at le boss then I suppose that's a means to an end
He's part of a squad that is top of the league, and all aspects of his game will improve with time.
Squallaci is old and shit, meant to be experienced and a leader.
What's his excuse from the rostinters?
He's not shit. As I said before, but this time I'll say it slowly for the hard-of-thinking. Fiiiiiiirrrsssssttttt seeeeeeasooooon
By the way, any thoughts on Nasri ? wise one
So being in his first season doesnt make him shit.
Well done einstein, youve outdone yourself again.
I'll take my boots next week, my excuse can be first season.
Funny how people can slag off Kos but then praise Nasri when it has taken Nasri two seasons to settle in.
Kos is just inconsistent at the moment, obviously something we don't want but he has shown in several games this seasons he can dominate the back but sadly he has also shown he can have some shitters, proberly from trying to hard.

I think the price tag winds people up, he cost alot of monies and we need someone assured. Ive no doubt he will become a good player, id rather start djourou right now

Seriously, what games were they then?
The Tottenham league cup game stands out but not many defenders have been tossed aside by Keane and Pavlychenko this year. That said, Keane somehow managed to score his one and only goal this season in that game.

why is he still at fulham then?
Because Wenger can't spot a decent CB if his life depended on it?
He's way above Fulham's level and I expect him to leave them at the end of the season.
Thing is, other than us there are no top clubs in need for a CB. Manure have Ferdinand and Vidic, Chavs have Terry, Ivanovic, Alex and the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid have world class CB's as well. Just hope he doesn't end up at Sp*rs.

You really think that Chelsea and United don't need more centre backs?
United and Chelsea are fucked without their 2 first choice centre backs.
Based on recent performances I would have Djourou ahead of Koscielny, You can argue that he lacks that pace that Koscielny has but he is fantastic in the air and wins 90 odd % of his aerial duals, was mortified when Koscielny just reclaimed his place for the NLD off the back of a two match suspension when Djourou had stepped in and played fantastic.
It seems good form doesnt guarantee you a place at The Arsenal these days

And we're fucked with our current two first choice centre backs. That's the problem, see?

They need back up CB's but not starting quality. Hangeland won't go there to sit on the bench.
