League is very weak
I feel that if he was a British player he would have been given so much more credit and respect... The media doesn't recognize that kos is probably the best CB in the premier league some would disagree but base on consistant performance over the years.. The lad has everything.. Hopefully he kicks on for France now..
I would say he is now the best CB in England.
Don't think being non English has something to do with him not receiving the hype that we think he should, I would say not winning a major title is the primary reason.
He wins a title and has a great season also, like Terry and Kompany in previous years, he'll receive his plaudits.
Also, he doesn't shout and organise like Terry/Kompany, while his style of play is less eye catching than the old English CB style of Terry and very physical style of Kompany.
All these things come into play in how you're going to be viewed. Primarily though, not winning a major title is holding back his status, because he's having great seasons.
