don't rate them... are they as good as Nesta, Maldini, Cannavaro, Jaap Stam, Lothar Mathaus, Hyppia, Tony Adams? Probably only Laurent Blanc is in the same league as these great defenders. Legendary defenders has come from Germany, England, Italy and Brazil...

Thats a load of me rse that mate your only a legend if your country has been successful in wining thwe world cup and the euro championship which kind of kills any chance we can call a England defender a legend.

well... I believe Tony Adams, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Jammie Carragher are all better defenders than the recent french defenders... maybe only Laurent Blanc and Lilian Thuram are in their league...

Maybe it is to do with our poor track record with french players in the recent history like

Traore
Zidane sorry I mean Cherou
Le Tallec
Pongolle
Ngog (ok debatable but I don't think so)

and who can forget Ferri or whatever his name was
:D  :D

This is how it will go, he will get 1 or 2 start this season, next season he will be loaned out, after that Rafa just sees no point in keeping him and then sells him.
