Jores Okore

[dave.woodhall]

He reminds me of Martin Keown; promsing youngster who didn't really improve with us, mainly because we were shite. I can see him in six or seven years time playing for someone like Juventus and us wondering what happened.

[brian green]

Yes, and his attitude towards us being much the same as Keown's

[Edvard Remberg]

Yes, and his attitude towards us being much the same as Keown's

Most dialogue here is just about that .

Villa in Denmark, has the same level of news as I do, where there was nothing until EB (Yes Peter, he is great) published it - This is the baffeling part for me - why now? I think he was ousted by the top (who ever that was)

[Steve67]

That's a fair comparison. I always rated Keown and he turned out to be pretty useful. He went to Everton before going back to the arse and then on to play for England.  I really want Okore to find a consistent level, rather than end up in another Keown situation.

If it was so straightforward the club would have fined him. Seeing they haven't there's nothing straightforward about it.

Even my dog understands this much.

Frabbo, German Shepherd, if you want to know.

How will we cope without him? He is possibly the 25th best defender in all my time supporting the Villa. Somewhere between Paul Elliott and Zat Knight.

Sign up Frabbo

[Steve67]

At least he will put some bite into the tackle. He'll also be faithful.

[passport1]

He'll also chase his tail but I suspect would still have looked more impressive vs Liverpool.

He can go . Don't want such an attitude.  Think rdm  and Clarke wise enough.
Okore lescott gabby richards Richardson nzogbia gill can all go and can imagine few more

I think you're being ruff on him

Looks like Okore was one of the ones RDM wants to stay, as his agent has said he wants to stick around.

Brilliant news!

[Monty]

So Elphick as the organiser and fucking-going-for-the-headers defender, Okore as the organisee and quick-on-the-cover defender. Makes sense in my head.

Good news and not unexpected by anyone who reckons our new manager knows a thing or two about a thing or two.
