Hope you’re right Aye It has the potential to be a right good signing to complement what he have. Bags of experience at a good level, and still at a reasonable age for a central defender. Even if, as reported, he has slowed down a bit, the manager can build the defence round him and has younger lads available who should have the other attributes required to balance it out.

I hope your right. This is either going to be a top notch acquisition (for the short term anyway), or the next Djemba-Djemba/Mo Camara. I seriously hope it's the positive option! If there is as we hope a good player still there, it'll be exactly what the younger guys need around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is as we hope a good player still there, it'll be exactly what the younger guys need around them. He has had a trial of sorts. OK is in the press saying he has shown up well this week whilst at the club. I don't recall either Camara or Double D spending any time at the club before signing, so hopefully that has a bearing. It is certainly an area where we need experience, so that will be welcome. Who knows, it might not work out, but that applies to any signing.

At the end of the day, he is just another player in the squad. Another option for the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maboza Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 He's been playing a decent number of games over the past couple of seasons so no major concern there. Who knows what's changed for him personally to end up trying his luck in Scotland. Hopefully it goes well. He could be exactly what we need.

faraway saint Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I hope this, if it happens, goes well. IMO Celtic are the last team I'd have him playing his first game. Could quite easily get torn to shreds with the pace of the Celtic attack. Here's hoping they have one eye on next weeks Europa cup game.

I'd go to a flat-back four and have two sitting midfielders in front of them for protection, with two hardworking wide midfielders to track back when the fullbacks push up on us.

But let's be honest if we managed to take a point or 3 it will look like we are on our way up the league this week and in coming games - what a lift that would be... in a sense we are really not expected to take anything, so it is a chance for OK to see what the players are made off - anybody worth their salt will be hoping to impress from the off...

Never understand these kind of comments. You play your strongest team end of that has to be Ferdinand centre back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
