Jores Okore

[PeterWithesShin]

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?

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 .

Okore didn't play in the 6-1 game at the Bridge.

Fair enough pws, I'm delighted with him but I hope people don't expect too much too soon - once he settles in he will be a great signing.

Welcome Jores!

Looks like he's gonna be a good 'un to me!
Roll on August 17th!

Yeah.  Because saying his composure on the ball in some of those clips was reminiscent of McGrath is obviously saying he's as good as God. 
Just like Lowton's Van Basten-esque shot against Stoke means he's as good as Marco Van Basten.

I didn't think he started the Armernia game. He's currently the third choice CB for Denmark

What third choice in a defence that leaked  4 to Armenia? They really need to play some proper defenders!

Everton were planning to hijack this deal. I wonder how that's working out for them

[olaftab]

Who will win the tug of war for the right to wear the shirt?

Who's the other kid?

I am so happy.

Bacuna.

Bill Kenwtight was going to snatch him for 8 pence as soon as he leaves Drury Lane tonight but....

Love a good Danish centre half!

It's not the composure on the ball that reminds me of McGrath, it's the nicking the ball off the toe/head when you think they're about to score etc.

they could have done with him from the start! I'm sure if he does the business for us in the PL he'll be their first before long.

Tonev, Okore, Bacuna. They just sound like proper footballers, don't they?

[Salsa Party Animal]

he look like a cross between god and Marcel Desailly. I love the look of him on the video but I don't know how good is he in the air against the like of Drogba.  Can he score goals like Martin Laursen from corners and free kicks.
