Looking at him in training, if you had asked me to draw the physical specimen I wanted in the middle of our pitch, I reckon he would have been about bang on the money.

Lets just pray he is suited to the prem. Houllier thinks he can do it, Vieira clearly rates him, and Lambert has a decent eye for a player even he has no clue of how to gel them into a side.

Agree on that first bit, looks like the big, strong athlete we've needed all season, if he can make the step up quickly he could make a big difference for us.

I see Lambert has told the press he did not cost 1.7m as reported, and was in fact less.

I heard the initial fee was lower then reported but it can rise to around 2m or something.

If there's money or some sort of prize, I'm claiming it.

According to WM he gave away a daft foul that lead to the corners they equalised from. Even if it should have been a goal kick rather than a corner (also according to WM).

Got booked.  Gave away a silly free quick. Led to the equaliser.

The modern day Salifou?  He put himself about, which was fine with me.

The referee gave them a freekick every time we went near them.

He looked very strong, but we had dropped into a very low block by the time he came on so it was difficult to judge.
