Wasn't his nickname supposed to be "The Rock" when he signed. So the implication is that he has been less than like a rock more like a pebble. Like concrete Ron being more porcelain than concrete.

He's usually played pretty well tbf, but loses concentration and the errors he makes always seem to be real howlers...he was our best player at qpr away and then in one 5 minute spell gave the ball away 3 times, the last one leading to their second goal!

With a bit of sharpening up he could become a really good player for us.

He was 29 last February, so in football years he is getting on a bit and may not be able to improve upon what he is now.

Reminds me of Savo in the sense that when he makes mistakes they're glaringly obvious ones. I think he's a good player and if he acclimatises to the league a bit more he will be good competition for Westwood.

Rommel had a cool nickname.  Much cooler than "The Pebble".

Good range of passing generally, breaks up play well and gets around the pitch.  I do think he gets a bit overconfident at times though, holding on to the pall too long or being a bit lazy with a lay off.  I'd certainly give him a bit longer to see if he adapts.

When he runs is it a pebble dash?

I always thought they sang 'i'm up the bloody tree'. Mind you, I haven't heard it since I was about 12.
