Lancaster Red: you around?

What is Sylvestre like these days? I know he was a laughing stock in his first season, but I seem to recall your mates at RI saying he came good and was your best CB last season. Now the papers are saying that he is out-of-favour after a run-in with the old (auld) despot Ferguson. Would he be a good buy? Mind you another Frenchman might be pushing our luck a bit.

On the (admitedly very few) times I've seen him, he's been poor. However, I thought he was more a LB (in the dressing room?) than a CB (unless you're talking radios here Dougal?). To me, he's a fringe player at ManUre. There's plenty more of their squad I'd take ahead of MS - and I'm not talking "superstars" like Giggs, Keane, Stam (RIP), Van Missafew or Spice.

That was always my impression of him, Screach, but I know a lot of people at OT changed their minds last season and I wondered whether they were right..

Dougal - you just answered your own question. If they're at OT, they can't be right.
