The thing which strikes me most about him is his pace. Given how bad our defensive positioning was last season, a defender with the speed to recover and cover for others strikes me as an altogether agreeable option.

Sounds like a younger version of Micah Richards?

Well Im shocked. Like many I thought we were going to buy Titus Bramble, the greatest player of his generation, but it was not to be.

I shall pen a letter of complaint to Lambert without delay.

When I can afford a stamp that is.

Training should be entertaining when Okore clashes with Benteke. There will be tremors as far away as Shrewsbury.

That & reports from around the net.

The fact Chelsea wanted him, and he rejected them, says volumes too.

I was reading the comments about this lad on the Sky Sports website last night and there were a good few remarks fro fans of other clubs saying that we had got ourselves a good player and a bargain to boot.  Chelski fans were particularly complimentary wishing him well and sorry that he hadn't signed for them but he had chosen the right club instead.

Actually some good comments on that page.

No prizes for guessing who this one supports though.

I think he was just thinking out loud about his own Ragged Arsed Rovers team from Small-Time Heath.

That doesn't sound like chelsea fans. Are you sure it wasn't said sarcastically, or while they were wearing white cloaks and hoods?

Clock in and have a look yourself Ger.  I've got a built-in sarc-o-meter and it didn't register.  All seemed pretty genuine to me.

How's things btw?  Any chance of a loan ;)

How's things in that there Galway?  Mrs S has just this minute said to me we must go to Galway soon.

All good with me dave, actually working in Dublin at the moment, nice for a change (plus once the season starts getting over to the villa will be less of a ballache than normal). Going to the game against rovers in august?
