Excellent news, provided we're not rushing him back too quick. It'd be great to have him back in the team.

It's potentially great news but Okore made a half time presentation at Villa Park recently and I thought he was limping as he left the pitch.

He was wearing shoes with trackies which is well-naff.

Good news. I would expect him to take several games to get back to speed though, so unlikely we will benefit a great deal from his return this season.

Introduce him as gently as possible and get him ready for next season.

It's a bit different with a centre back. They'll only involve him once he's ready and when he is, it will be good for him to get a run of games to get more experience of the league.

I'd stick him on the bench and only really play him when Vlaar is injured.  There's no need to rush him back and each match Clark has should/could improve him as a player.  Furthermore a leftie and a righty at the back has slightly better balance.

Alternatively I might be tempted to go three at the back.  Okore's pace would make him ideal on the right, Vlaar in the middle and I suppose clark on the left I'd prefer someone faster).  With so few teams playing natural wingers and our fullback's seemingly better going forwards than back it could play to our strengths and make us different/more awkward to play against.

What's wrong with that? (he says looking down anxiously)

I've not forgotten about Jores. Can't wait until he play for us again.

I've said it before but he can become the best centre back in the league.

Would imagine he'll play a few reserve/behind close doors friendlies first so wait to see his name in that.

Based on what?

I was impressed with him in the short time he was on the pitch for us but I wouldn't make a statement like that!
