Ah,yes.

Many thanks

What would we do without you?

What do you think? Good move? Villa reject?

Good signing. An experienced pro who has played in the Premiership and at World Cups.

Quite mobile if I remember so should get forward when needed.

A Villa supporting mate of mine said of him: Nickname of Useless De La Cruz (yeah, I'm sure you've all heard that one), comments in a brummie accent like "couldn't cross the road" and "couldn't pass water".

Also, isn't he a right back? Do we really need another right back? Or is he cover for midfield? Been away for a week (inbetween going to Brum on Weds) so don't know all the comments that have been made about him. Will go and look now.

No apparently he can't pass water.

pretty positive........

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Not my first choice of signing but with a week left or so he can do a job for a year I think so not bad.

[Gordons Cumming]

Another body.................good.

[Jaques Francais]

Another body.................good.

Its always bodies with you, isn't it? :p

Good to get in some cover - and not perhaps as bad as some make out? With our style of play and coaching, he may well do here - not much of a gamble if not!

[The Surgeon of Crowthorne]

Yes because he never did a thing like that before as ask to get his breakfast in bed with a couple of eggs since the City Arms hotel when he used to be pretending to be laid up with a sick voice doing his highness to make himself interesting for that old faggot Mrs Riordan that he thought he had a great leg of and she never left us a farthing all for masses for herself and her soul greatest miser ever was actually afraid to lay out 4d for her methylated spirit telling me all her ailments she had too much old chat in her about politics and earthquakes and the end of the world let us have a bit of fun first God help the world if all the women were her sort down on bathingsuits and lownecks of course nobody wanted her to wear them I suppose she was pious because no man would look at her twice I hope Ill never be like her a wonder she didnt want us to cover our faces but she was a welleducated woman certainly and her gabby talk about Mr Riordan here and Mr Riordan...

[Greenwich Royal]

Another body.................good.

B. Oddie?

[Greenwich Royal]

Under the right coaching i believe he could be worthwhile as a backup squad player.

If anyone can get the best out of him I believe Coppell can - in Sir Steve we trust!!!

Good signing for the squad. Also, he can only be a good influence on Sodje & Bikey.

My only concern is that if he does play, and joins Seol on the right side we could be asking for trouble - both good attack minded players but not the best defensively - and could expose our right flank?
