JeanMarc, any thoughts here? I somehow don't understand the high value for RES, IMO he rather had good positioning and excellent strenght in the air. Meanwhile AGI, TEC & DA seem to high too, he wasn't so impressive there..
AGG could also be dropped, usually he stayed back in his own half during the matches (except for coming forward on set-pieces). I'd also reduce TMW a bit..

General update..

He was crazy and violent like Pepe, kicking even his teammates and collecting 15 red cards throughout his career, no wonder Koln officials wanted to put him on psychiatry because of his abnormal behaviour. Very strong player, but not particularly fast and often late in tackles...
