I thought Edouard Cisse was more of a DM than a CB. Either way, I don't really rate him that highly. I have seen him play against various opposition, and he did ok, but nothing great. Also, whomever said Hofland could be as good as (or better than) Nesta is dreaming. Mexes...Yes, he has the potential, but Hofland does not, and is vastly overrated. As for my thoughts on Cannavaro. Well, he is a top class CB, although I would prefer someone younger, as well as slightly taller (or much taller for that matter).
