I’d 100% take Gabriel over Koscielny for LCB. I’m not a new fan or anything, but Koscielny took years to settle and didn’t become a good CB for us til he was in his prime, whereas Gabriel took maybe a year to settle and hasn’t even reached his prime yet and is already a better defender than Koscielny imo.
Koscielny scored a lot of important goals for us, but based off of pure talent and the fact Gabriel is only 24 and part of the best defence in the league, I’d definitely have Gabriel in front of Laurent.
