i'm only going by peoples reports of him and DW's comments but this could be another gem we've snapped up on a free.
my only concern is a CB. i still think we need one. But i hope LJF or Morrison can step up and produce the goods to prove me wrong.

Not sure what made me smile more, the signing or Nev's pun. Good news, fingers crossed it goes through

Totally agree. While LJF or Morrison may step to become a good CB, we know how inconsistent they can both be, so i think another CB is needed. Also, if 2 of our CB's were to be injured at one time, we would only have 1 fit CB. Although, i trust DW to do the right thing  |

Although, i trust DW to do the right thing I think we have three excellent young centre backs who will all get better with experience, I wouldn't be that bothered if we didn't sign a more experienced player thus giving LJF and Morrison time to shine alongside Cuthbert, and with Douglas in front of them picking up the pieces they will be solid enough. Dossevi sounds a very good signing. |

Yeh i agree that there is a very good chance that at least one of those will become a very good CB (if not both) but we have no guarentee that this will happen and as i said before if 2 of them get injured, then we would be left with 1 CB.
However, i wouldnt start sliting my wrists if we didnt get another CB.

Wow, what a difference 24 hours makes eh!? Sounds like it's pretty much sorted. Cannot wait to see him play, judging by the 45 minutes he managed, he was pretty mint. Someone likened his pace to that of O'Brien, is that a bit off the mark??

For the pure fact that upon some googling he is all over the press last year hankering after a move to the prem, with Bolton Wigan and West Ham interested, I've got a feeling this boy is going to tear it up

That's what I'm thinking. When I saw him I thought he looked tasty and a bit unpredictable, which will make him a real challenge for league 1 defenders. And like you say, the fact that he was being looked at by quite a few premiership clubs makes me like him more and leaves me convinced he'll tear the league a new arsehole. B3nny, he wasn't hugely quick. He seemed to have no more pace than Cox or someone, certainly not even in the same ballpark as O'Brien. Dunno who told you that! |

He wasn't massively quick but he was no slouch either. His style reminded me a bit of Drogba in the way harried defenders and got in their faces. Obviously he's not quite as good... |

My brother in law said pretty much exactly the same (re Drogba). Let's hope he turns out to have more in common with Drogba than Sabin did with Henry or Opara with Hasselbaink |

scarfs above head and all that yet?
as others have said, I think our squad as a whole is just one player short (if Dossevi signs)
