That will be the acid test. 

He seems comfortable against forwards with good movement, but players like Andy Carroll, Lukaku and even dross like Holt will present a different challenge.

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.
 

Think his strongest points are his speed and passing. Mentioned Marcel Desailly as someone he looked up to when he was younger ......

I was just telling my mate in the pub about our signings Tonev, Bacuna and Jores Okore.

I said 'Tonev is a winger and Bacuna a midfielder'.

'What's Jores?'

'Mine's a double Vodka and Red Bull' I said. 'Ta very much'.

Then I got my coat.

I asked for a Viking the other week and it looks like we're getting two.  Good stuff.

Awesome signing - he is so fast and skilful. Would we leave vlaar to win the headers and then give it to okore to provide the passes? I'm sure he can adapt to the likes of Carroll as he's big enough.

Once finished with the likes of Holt. Okore will use his femur as a tooth pick.

Do people think he'll go straight into the team or back up ?

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

" Villa have been much the better team all afternoon despite being 1-0 down. The Old Trafford crowd is showing lot of anxiety. That was a great tip over by de Gea  to deny Bacuna his 5th goal of the season so far. Tonev now to take the corner. It's a short one to Bacuna he moves inside plays it back to Tonev. Tonev whips in a the cross...OKORE  ....okore makes it 1-1 with an great diving header...no more than Villa deserved"

Just for Eastie;

When he goes through your back,
With a fucking great hack,
That's OKORE...

To the tune of That's Amore. The song must be organised!

I reckon he's got more about him than Clark and Baker.

He's hardly likely to have turned down the opportunity to be a Chelski bench warmer to come here and be one.

I am genuinely excited by this kid.

I don't know a great deal beyond the Chelsea game, but I liked a lot of what I saw.

The fact he looks so big and fast is a massive bonus, considering the lumbering plonker that was Dunne.

Dunne was not slow, he might have turned like a tank, but once going he was no slouch.

If everyone on H&V sticks twenty quid on this we could bankrupt Ladbrokes.

Let's do it, to a rousing chorus of Bacuna Matata... anyone?

Oh, is that my coat, Percy?! Thank you...
