Decent young players in with good attitudes and a genuine appreciation and desire to be playing at this great club. It's so refreshing to have a squad that's likeable. The days over overpaid, overrated and in some cases total toss pots, are thankfully over.

This is a quality signing. A ball playing CB, something we have been crying out for. I'm chuffed as a weasel's pink parts.

They had him stretching the new Villa shirt for the press but he ripped three of them to shreds before they decided it was best to have him holding a ball whilst leaning on the goalpost.
Could turn out to be our best signing of the summer. Absolutely delighted.

Fantastic signing, one of the most highly rated defenders in europe who has been linked with a fair number of champions league sides.
On top of that the press release makes great reading, I don't remember seeing new signing interview full of 'we' and 'our' before.
On Okore, he's obviously quick and strong, but he's a good passer, he stays on his feet and he's got very good technique. Really happy about this one.

Reluctant as I am to compare any centre back to God, his composure and downright cheek on the ball in that Chelsea video was McGrath-esque at times.
He's still young, so -the hope is- if he tries some of that and gets caught in possession, he doesn't completely stop doing it. It's a fine balance, of course. Clark attempted similar against Man Citeh and for Ireland against Austria, and made a fool of himself. I guess having the cojones to do it and actually being able to do it are two different things. Lesson being, If you are Ciaran Clark, you probably shouldn't try in the first place.
With this lad and Vlaar picking passes from the back, it makes us harder to contain. Some sides in the topflight have one centre back who is decent on the ball. Not many have two.

Well this is what a Danish mate of mine had to say about Okore:
Okore is quick and strong. Hard to say how we he will do. He was really good in the Champions League games and of course on of the better players in the Danish Super League. But Premier League is quite a step up.
He didn't perform too good against Armenia (they got stuffed 4-0 the other day), but no-one did. And he is very new/substitute on national team
But he was very important for Nordsjælland to get the danish championship previous season and to finish 2nd this year
And he's still young - might be a good buy
One of the most expensive players from Danish Super League as well
Looking forward to see him play there
