Been a joy to watch this guy develop over the last half decade.

Definition of a rough diamond when he arrived but he's become more polished each and every season.

Been one of the best defenders in the world for a few seasons now, but it's getting to the point where you could argue he's the best. Starting to develop a real presence at the back.

Koscielny vs Keown? who's better?
Would appreciate an answer from someone who saw Keown play in his prime.

Kos is far better than Keown tbh. I was never the biggest Keown fan, always had an error in him and couldn't pass the ball five yards.

He was a leader of men though, fearsome CB. Doubt many enjoyed playing against him. Kos has a bit of everything, same can't be said for Keown.

He'll captain us for the 30th game against city.
What a ride, from Guingamp:

Not sure I agree with this, Koscielny has more in his locker but Keown was a brilliant defender. Very few defenders out there I'd describe as 'far better' than him.

He did the simple things perfectly well. Lacks in too many departments to be considered a superior player to Kos.

10 years he'll have been here, his testimonial will be a joke if he doesn't win the league or CL, we need your best three years now, Laurent.

League is very weak
Keown was a top defender, regarded as the best man marker of his time.

The only question to be asked is whether Kos gets an invite to the Adams, Keown, Campbell, Cole etc club. Probably yes, with Sagna.

The only thing stopping Laurent from having a bigger profile is the lack of trophies with us.

top 5 defender on the planet without a shadow of a doubt, and best defender on the planet when it comes to interceptions and not only recovering the ball but keep in it on our team.

he is a poem on how to defend.

there is not doubt about it.
i thought he was going to move after this season, the fact that he is signing a new deal makes him automatically a club legend.
