Your kolo can learn a lot from him alrite. As for the pace issue, he still remains fairly fast, not the fastest but an example was actually shown in the tuesdays match against arsenal. Approximately 60 odd minutes a certain canavaro caught henry by suprise when he accelerated his way towards teh byline and did a superb tackle. Canavaro on his day remains undoubtly the worlds best.
Ekram....Cannavaro is 32 years old. But believe me Arsenal would need atleast a contury to find a player like him. Kolo can play 2 or 3 good matches, but he's Fabio Cannavaro wouldn't mind putting him in his left pocket.
Oh and another thing, since when do Arsenal fans moan alot??? Since when they do believe their Club is something that can be compared to the likes of us....Sure they did own us in highbury, But nothing is over folks.....
You can all soap it for now.

The fact that you think a defender can become world class overnight is ridiculous in itself. Eboue may have gotten much much better after the African Cup of Nations but you definitely cannot say that Toure became the player he is only after the ACN. If you had watched all of Arsenal's games this season you would've seen that he together with Jens was keeping us together at times and that our horrible form during the ACN was obviously largely due to him missing. I don't see how you can compare Toure who's playing with a young, inexperienced, make-shift defence with players such as Nesta and Cannavaro who are playing with some of the world's best defenders and best goalkeepers (Dida's pretty shit this year but still). I didn't see Nesta keeping Milan together this year when teams like Parma (I think) put 3 goals past them. By the way, I didn't say Toure is better than Nesta, I'm just saying that you really can't say Nesta is better because of where Milan is in the table, how many goals they've conceded nor can you say that he's better than Toure at all until they play in a relatively equal quality defensive line. I do think that Toure can be ranked up there with the world's best and I'd say that one current form he is the best at the moment (Terry's made some pretty silly mistakes this year which have gone unnoticed at times, Milan's defence was again, shit and Rio Ferdinand who used to be ranked up there with them has had some absolutely atrocious performances for Manu this year). Also, I'd say that an Arsenal fan, biased as one may be, is in a much better position to judge Kolo Toure as a defender than you are seeing how we watch him every game (I watched every Ivory Coast game bar one in the ACN as well).
Also, I remember being laughed at by Juve fans when I dared compare Eboue to the great Zebina, even while Eboue was in amazing form and Zebina had only played like 4 (?) games the whole season.

You can ask any EPL fan and he will tell you how great john terry is. You sure you even know anything about your own league?. Puyol may not be the tallest but his pessimistic and has done a great job when facing the likes of robinho, villa, e.t.c. As for nesta his been consistent unlike kolo, who we only heard of since tuesday.
