How long did we sign him for? I remember it was a short term deal and something in my head tells me it was until January. If this is the case him leaving could leave a big wad for us to sign someone who's not past their sell by date. Gouranga.

Pretty sure we are stuck with him until the end of the season

Can we really judge the bloke based on a couple of performances? He’s had no preseason and was thrown into a weak defence.
I think he’ll do an okay, 6/10 job until the end of the season as a squad player and move on.

He came in and made more mistakes than the younger players and made the defence even more jittery. He had our pants down for a last pay day.

After coming in as an emergency, a month or two after the deadline and with no preseason, is anyone actually surprised that he wasn’t very good? Football is a fine margin game at a high level and his training would have been well behind. I expect him to be better in the second half of the season. I still think he’ll be at best, average though. He’ll probably be on a relative fortune given our desperation and highlights the glaring weakness in our defensive options.

I think he was supposed to be this mythical commanding leader of a centre back that so many were calling for.

Tbh he’s the sort of signing I’m never going to be on board with so when he plays and doesn’t even have the steadying effect I mentioned I’m going to have a downer on him. Full on Sunderland for me, only signing players from a certain age profile with loads of potential upside and minimal downside.

He was only signed as a back up on a short term deal, I can't imagine he'd be on a fortune so no real harm done

Never ever known him play well tbh. But if he comes in in an hour if need he will have my full support.
