Congratulations to Pauleta for the award. Well deserved.
He has what we call killer instinct, he can also score screamers but the most important: he's been more consistent than anyone else and if it wasn't for his little moment off (he couldn't score in 6 games) he would have taken Bordeaux to even higher heights.
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer Djibril Cissé's pure class when it comes to goal machines. The fact that that the newly capped Frenchman is still very young, which implies a good margin of progression, makes me think he will be far better than Pauleta in a near future. Honestly.
Not that I'm diminishing the Portugueuse's merits though. He will be sorely missed next season, that's for sure.

The numbers, and facts don't lie. Bordeaux would be fighting for relegation without this man.
That I don't agree with. Pauleta scored 2/3 of Bordeaux's goals, true. However, the whole tactical scheme was adapted to his person. Had he not been there, the position would have been fullfilled with another targetman, with more or less success - probably less. Big up to the many players of the shadow that set him up so well.
Ciao.
PS - Payman, let's not jump on conclusions that fast, will you!
Cissé better than Trézégoal in the next few years !? C'est quoi ces couilles ? :fero:
