Just looked at his body - THIS IS PERFECT !!!! - you guys are all into what he can do but the secret to every great 'Natural' defender type is the body frame. He has that body frame that Rio, and Hierro has - to me that says lean, speed, flexibility, and high towering overview of all that he can see !!! YES !!! - problem with Sako - is he is too muscle-bound like and that's why he seems a little dopey when being turned like Giroud, and Defoe did to him.

Are you judging a player by their gait?
 
From what Ive seen/read about him he seems likely to replace Sahko as the adventureous ball playing centre half. Which means there is still room for another commanding centre half alongside him. Whether thats Skrtel or somebody new I dont know. Lovren has failed the audition and and I dont expect Toure to get another year with both Gomez and Illori waiting in the wings.

Niklas Sule currently playing in Hoffenheim, might get relegated this season.
20 year old, tall imposing defender.

Jonathan Tah, Leverkusen.
20 year old, tall, intelligent defender.

I'd be delighted if we signed one of them.
 
22 goals scored in 200+ matches. Mostly from set pieces. As a defender. On a free.

You'd be mad not to sign him.

But curiously tho, why aren't there many big clubs in for him ?
I think it's because German players rarely leave their country to play abroad.
It's pretty much untapped.

It's no more or less "untapped" than the Premiership really. There's just not that many reasons to leave the Bundesliga, especially of you're German and like being in Germany. Where would you go? I suppose there's more money on offer from the Premiership given TV rights, but apart from that...
 
Among the most hilarious threads in this forum's history. Sadly, Spider Neil never quite recovered from it though.

I don't really remember it, but I do recall the quote about C-3PO, because someone used it as a signature for a while

EDIT: just found it in the Vault. Now I remember it. Whatever happened to the spide?

According to Bild we're paying him 4 mill £ sign on fee and 5,4 mill £ pr year.
Probably not accurate but anyhooo.
 
Spidey has gone. He was caught in a glass and released into the wilds of RAWK. He occasionally turns up on TLW (presumably when he's on a RAWK ban).

It's been almost 4 years since he left.
I actually sent him a PM asking him to come back. He said he would but he never did.
