What a brilliant buy Pascal Cygan is turning out to be. He was my man of the match against Auxerre and I think he's going to give Martin Keown a run for his money in the first team. His positional sense is very good, and his tackling is sharp and accurate - he very rarely has to resort to silly fouls, which is vital at CL level in particular. What really impresses me, though, is his distribution. He can pass it long or short with accuracy, which is pretty rare for a central defender, especially in the Premier. At around £2m, he's another Wenger masterstroke.
james, sooo well said, couldn't agree more... i also remember having read several online reviews saying something similar to yours!!! Later Patrick
What's Pascal Cygan up to these days? Still at Villareal? I thought these two posts were hilarious, upon review anyway...
