What a player, just seen some stats on MNF showing us with and without him and it's really incredible the difference he makes.
What a signing from Arsène.

Best CB in the prem?

The man can perform a perfect kung-fu tackle, what more could one ask for?

League is very weak
Yes, for me. Doesn't say a lot though, considering this is weakest era I can ever remember in terms of CB quality.
You can make a case for Terry, but I feel he gets more protection from the Mourinho system than Kos does here.

Me and a friend of mine in work were discussing players which don't get the credit they deserve, (he said Carrick, he's a Man U fan) and I said Koscielny. Absolutely adore this guy... Such a professional and quietly goes about his business.

When he was out of the team, wasn't we suffering an injury crisis all over the pitch, no Coquelin in midfield etc etc, stats like this can be very misleading tbf.

Couldn't give a toss what the stats say, as ever--he's obviously a brilliant CB.

I love Kos! I know he isn't the biggest character ever but he's a model pro and certainly one of my favourite players. Best CB in the league, far better than Kompany.
The amount of times we've seen him keep Suarez, Aguero etc in his pocket is ridiculous.

Always underrated. Hate it when people talk about the best centre-backs in the PL and the name that pops out is always Kompany. FIFA much.
He's surreal at times, so quick, perfect timing in a sliding challenge. He's very aggressive too, likes to put his opponents under pressure. Wenger found a real gem bringing him in, his growth has been phenomenal.
It's between him or Terry for best CB in the league, that's for sure.

If Gabby brings what he was showing in Spain then these 2 could be immense.

Wenger is hyping up Gabby so let's see.

Favorite Arsenal player and best Cb in the league!!
In a way the saddest part about him not getting the credit and recognition he deserves is a blessing, it keeps the likes of Bayern, Barca and Madrid away.
Hope him and Gabriel form a world class partnership next season!

Per took ages to get his head right this season, been damn solid with Kos though since jan.

Think a big part of why he isn't rated as highly as he should be is due to the fact he isn't vocal like a Terry/Kompany

Remember when Jamie Redknapp used to hype up Vermaelen? Talking about his leadership, toughness etc.
When Kos was clearly the superior player and Thomas was just a clown. Even today, Kos gets no hype on Sky, other than from Carragher.
Think it has alot to do with him looking abit soft compared to Kompany and Terry, and obviously, not as vocal.

Terry would look like Mertesacker in our defence, Koscielny would like like Maldini in Chelsea's.
AVB give us a glimpse of Terry in an attacking team and it weren't kind to JT.
