Looks awesome in this clip No wonder Chelsea wanted him. Fast, strong, brave and can pass it too

I would recommend anyone who hasn't watched that clip to do so. Better than the usual montages, it's just a clip of him from one game.

Welcome, Jaws!

Hopefully you'll bring a bit of bite to our defence.

It will be like a wild life programme when he is up against Squarez !!

Based on that we could have just bought this year's Benteke.

Just watched that highlights video and he looks bloody good.  The only thing I didn't really see is whether he is any good at defending corners and in aerial challenges against big/tall players, which is where we are weakest.

[Villa-Villan]

This is the player I wanted out of all those mentioned....A great signing for the Villa.

[TaxDodger]

I'm bloody excited about next season.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

To turn down Chelsea because he did not want to sit on the bench. Tells you everything about his desire to want to play. Fantastic interview on AVTV. He said "I feel that Aston Villa is the right club for me" I have a great feeling about this player and it will be up to Vlaar to up his game as I think Okore will be the number one CB choice come the start of the season ......

[PaulWinch again]

From the clips I've seen he reminds me of a young Sol Campbell, and if he ends up at that level it would be fantastic.

Well done to everybody involved in getting these young bloods down to the Villa

Exciting times ahead methinks

Just watched this clip, if he can play ANYTHING like that every week............

The most exciting signing of the summer so far.

But this thread is hilarious - compare and contrast to most match threads in terms of positivity / negativity. Are people who've never seen him play really comparing him to Paul McGrath?

Aston Villa Transfer News: “Football Manager” Legend Jores Okore Signs
 
June 13, 2013
Matt Holmes

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of promising young Danish defender Jores Okore for an undisclosed fee.
 
The 20-year-old, who has signed from Denmark’s domestic runner-up last season FC Nordsjaelland, will be a familiar name to many football fans in England, not least for his impressive performances in the Champions League against Chelsea last season, but because of his stats and abilities on the Football Manager 2013 pc game.
 
Okore is well known to be one of the best young signings you can make on the game and over time grows into a monster centre-half and one of the best players in the world with his aggressive strength and pace.

Exciting signing but too soon to be comparing him to the likes of McGrath - although he showed some nice touches against Chelsea I believe they did score 10 goals in the 2 games against the Danes .

I'm expected and delighted to have okore here but  he will need time to settle in as did Vlaar .
