Btw, I've only been to 2 games this season so I'm not sure, but has anyone coined a decent nick name for Djourou? I'm never sure if I'm spelling it right cos I've seen it spelled so many different ways.
I personally think it is because Djourou is much better in the air than Hoyte.
not difficult to surmise when you see gilberto playing in the back. wonder why so many were mystified by his selection...clear as day why djourou played over hoyte.
