Flip flopped on this one but watched his interview, seems a decent guy. Lets hope this is the start of a proper solid back line because, lets be honest, for all our clean sheets its still looking a bit nervy back there.

There is one easy way to solve the "looking nervy back there'' issue, simply don't play Olsson.

Watched the United defeat today...There 2 Centre Backs were dreadful...watched Evans at the end of last season and he was miles better than either of them today...VG will be gone before long...think JP has pulled off another masterstroke getting JE....now sell SB to United and buy Phillips..ðŸ˜Š

Won't Olsson be LB if Lescott leaves?

No Brunt will be left back. But don't forget as with all of our other centre half's Evans can play as a full back

Brunt is injured though, so are you saying Evans is now our back up LB?

Â£8m for a downgrade on Lescott.

I really don't get the love in with Lescott - he's even slower than Olsson and GMac FFS

Lescott is 33, with dodgy knees.

I think he's played well for us, but we need to stop with the short term attitude. Evans should hopefully give us 3/4 years. Lest another 1 if we're lucky.

At the same time you could say you've paid Â£6m to swap a player with 1 maybe 2 seasons left for a player who has 7 or 8 seasons left.

Welcome to the club Johnny boy.

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #192 on:** August 31, 2015, 10:11:14 PM »

Really happy with this signing - he'll fit the Pulis mould expertly - nothing fancy, just a solid defender in an organised back four.

He has a good partnership with Gareth McAuley too - heaven knows Northern Ireland miss him when he isn't there. A very good defender and composed footballer too.

Well done Albion. Well done.

Aixelsyd · « **Reply #193 on:** August 31, 2015, 11:45:13 PM »

Has he been issued a squad number yet?

WBArgo · « **Reply #194 on:** September 12, 2015, 08:53:13 PM »

Was top class today, easily our best player in my opinion. Defended well and read the play as good as Lescott ever did. What I also liked was his selection of passing, he never panicked and hoofed it like our other defenders often do. With Pulis this season we will need all the possession we can manage, so having him in there should be a great addition.
Only negative was the injury, I hope it is only minor.

MICKYMEL · « **Reply #195 on:** September 12, 2015, 08:58:15 PM »

Very good today. As you say never panicked and good distribution

Number 6.

Adder · « **Reply #197 on:** September 13, 2015, 09:57:34 AM »

Did well - his distribution was very good and clearly far better than we usually get from Olsson.
