Mantis Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I don't think it's a coincidence that all of our other CBs play better next to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why you see players take those weird free kicks where they touch it to the side first. Because they can't just take shot as it's indirect. Apropos: offside=IFK. Dave does have a point, though. They seem rarer these days, the IFKs. The obstruction rule seems to have disappeared, more or less. I always found it a rather strange rule anyway. Why should obstruction be any different than any other foul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Our best centre half by a country mile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Might struggle to hold on to him when we go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So we gave Baker and Clark new 4 year deals and not Okore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Looked slower than I remember, I wonder if he has recovered fully from the knee injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Not really plenty of time, should be negotiating it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No only 18 months left which is the problems we ran into with D*lph and Vlaar. Would start talking now. I think he'll stay actually, doubt many will take chances given his injury record, he just needs to have a full season whatever division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffoman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 While he was decent let's not go overboard he was caught badly out of position a few times. If Ulloa had a better touch we would have lost the game at the end when both our centre backs went missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We need to start talks on new contract immediately. Otherwise this will turn into another Delph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2016 We probably have. Starting talks doesn't mean he'll go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think the club might be put off by a new deal, he has played less than 40 games in 2 and a half seasons with the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I wouldn't renew his contract, spends more time on the treatment table than on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delph was like this for long periods lets not forget that. eventually jhe got there and I am hopeful Okore will as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I would hand him a new deal now but think maybe the club put off by Vlaar injuries that they dont want to commit a long contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
